I dont think they should have gone to jail though. I dont think what they did was in anyway as bad as making jokes about missing kids etc. In my opinion no one in a country that claims to have free speech should be going to jail on the back of jokes that are in poor taste. Or at least the rules should be applied consistently regardless of ethnic background 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 There's nothing I wouldn't say on here that I wouldn't say to someone's face or in the pub. If a topic is brought up and your asked or lead into giving your opinion then so be it. If you don't like it then you have the chance to debate. Can't believe the lad is getting jail..... Now that is a joke!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid 935 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Its certainly more of a bad joke that he has been jailed imho, just shaming him in the papers and news would of prob been enough. Jailed for words on a web site just seems ridiculous. What was the joke ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Seems like if your white and British and say a sick joke you get jailed .... However if you are a Muslim and rave on about how happy you are that 6 British soldiers have been killed and every soldier should die and go to hell you only get 140 hours of community service .... Strange that eh .............. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tam O'Void 297 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 There has been many cases of facebook prosicutions.So he isnt the first and will not be the last. If you make an uncalled for remark on ANY internet site weather it be facebook,twitter,hunting life or any other, then the powers to be have the power to prosicute. Its simple really, dont be a sicko joke teller and dont be racists and dont be a bully as WE ARE in a big brother world and somebody is allways watching you no matter who you are............ We Have ALWAYS lived in a BIG BROTHER STATE....before the WWW.. if you took certain books out of A PUBLIC library...they would be "FLAGGED"..then you would be under Scrutiny ..mail ,etc intercepted.. The State has used "SOFT INTEL",supplied by allsorts of Organisations "Fellowships"..being going on since day Dot ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
