With this sort of legislation we are totally at the mercy of the political leanings of the judge. Frankly, half the members on here should probably be doing a 20 year stretch each for what has been said over the years. There's no difference other than the platform, one is a public picture sharing app and one is a public hunting forum. If the tyrant PC Walker read this forum, some members would be in court. Breaking news ... hunting forum has been shut down and several members in prison for offending one another ?? Can see it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to The Daily Fail, there are proposals under consideration from The Sentencing Council to advise judges and magistrates on harsher punishments for those 'stirring up hatred online.' Under these proposals, those who are found guilty of trolling by circulating posts, commenting, or sharing content deemed offensive should receive a custodial sentence of a minimum of six months. Anyone convicted of hate speech that threatens anyone's life should get three years! The Tommy Robinson and Diane Abbott threads alone would see half of the GT contributors doing porridge for an average of 150+ years combined! Nothing to see here. Only government-approved content from now on, please! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Oh well free board no council tax 3 Square meals a day lol Technically newsagents can be prosecuted for selling anything deemed racist or hatefull in the paper. Anyone if they are disagreeing with a hate tweet can be prosecuted for the tweeting it. Watched a thing in news about it. Judicial mine field and there far more pressing problems than what some f***ing idiot posts on-line. Myself included. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myself included. 5 Agreed mate but it seems to be more of backlash against sentencing that probably didn't go the way they wanted it to and now they can rethink the punishment structure. Nazi pug bloke and rap lyric girl got fined. This would now bring in a custodial sentence. Nazi pug case the judge said context doesn't matter which supports your second paragraph. We've established that protected speech simply isn't anymore and that the guidelines on infringement now cover pretty much anything with a commentary box. Custodial sentencing will simply ruin anyone that doesn't toe the line... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,973 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 West Yorkshire Police threaten to arrest online piss takers for breaching the communications act. Apparently, if you use their Facebook page to laugh at their drug arrests they'll ban you and arrest you! #WhereGreatBritainUsedToBe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
