4 months in prison for wearing a hateful t-shirt....yay for free speech Britain!

[Gandalf]

Anti-police T-shirt man jailed - Yahoo! News UK

I think the man was probably not very nice, his t-shirt was in poor taste, but to be put in prison for wearing it is just ludicrous. It follows a trend in the UK of people being arrested for Twitter postings or just expressing themselves in a politically incorrect way. If you want to wear a t-shirt saying freely and honestly why you loathe the monarchy, the police, the Tories, any such power structure then you should be free to do so.

You shouldn't go going to prison for poor taste in rhetoric.

Fuck him Miles, lock him up.

Less than three-and-a-half hours earlier, Pc Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, were shot dead in a gun and grenade attack as they responded to a reported burglary on the Hattersley estate in Mottram, Greater Manchester.


How can you allow your civil activism to out weigh his inhumanity in this act?

I agree with Miles on this one - although the guy doesnt deserve to be alive he shouldn't be locked up for wearing a t shirt no matter what it said.

But the moment he put it on all his rights as a protected citizen (though he didnt deserve to be) should have been waived and anyone should have been able to give him a good beating, tortured him, even killed him - without fear of punishment by the authorities.


Hope he gets buggered senseless in prison

Bit like a funeral though isnt it, turn up to one with a shirt that bags the deceased or what he did for a job equals lose your civil rights. Its either one way or the other.
I say fuck him and dont care who does it.

[Saddo]

I personally think its a good thing to lock this loser up.... the respect in this country has gone with people thinking they can just do whatever the fuck they like in this kids having kids generation.

I would like the see this type of low tolerance adapted to everything... it would be a far more civilised environment to live in if it was IMHO

[Mark TKO]

I'd like to see the stocks brought back. Seriously

Lyle even you know that that is a stupid response. Even in America surely Grenades are generally Illegal without a permit?

Shit... I better go and tell that to my uncle, I wouldn't want him being unable to use his shotgun on his farm!

They're not illegal in the UK, just highly controlled and therfore not easily available to criminals and psychopaths.

(That's why your firearm homicides are TEN times higher than ours)
