What was the tweet? It's still being recorded as a hate incident. The right to free speech in the UK still has conditions, it doesn't allow for hateful or abusive expression.

It was a lot of tweets about transgenders, you would be banned on here if you posted them..

Parm I wished you'd paste the article or at least relevant parts if you want to start a discussion...

He didn't even write the tweets himself, he reposted someone else's limerick, so it's pathetic he got even a portion of the blame. Quote:

It should do. Until violence is called for, nothing should be off the table.

I just looked into it and saw some awful tweets which he retweeted. He seems like a very hateful man and I am glad that he ended up in court for what he said even if the judge didn't see it as a crime. I agree that he has the right to say that he doesn't understand trans people but the way he went about it was not warranted and I hope he will make better decisions in the future.

I believe he was reprimanded for multiple tweets and not just that verse that he retweeted.

It doesn't matter if you think it should though, it's the law.

I've said umpteen times but freedom of speech is NOT freedom from consequences

If someone walks up to a black guy and calls him the N-word, he shouldn't face any legal consequences. The black guy is completely free to call him a cracker, and they can both go on their merry way. Or the black guy can punch him in the gob. Then the white guy can either hit him back, or file assault charges. That's how it should be, anyway. |

I didn't say hate speech wasn't against the law. I was saying the law shouldn't have an opinion on it whatsoever, and it shouldn't be dealt with at all.

You don't deserve that opinion since you obviously haven't spent your life dealing with hateful people.

You are basically saying people should be allowed to be as hateful as they like towards others as long as no violence is involved

You could try saying why you think people shouldn't have the right to say what they want?

I dont think that though, people saying what they think/want and people inciting hatred are two completely different things, the latter is harrasment and abuse both of which are illegal and rightly so.
