I encourage anyone to pursue legal action if they believe they were harmed in any way. But to try to write laws about political correctness about what is acceptable speech, that has been why humanity is in a fast decline since 1990. It really started about that time. POlitical correctness, forbidden speech, etc.

Then you are naive and stupid. There is no such thing as absolute free speech. The entire Western Culture we live under would collapse if that were the case. Words are not just something you can pretend do not matter just to get yourself off the hook.

Political correctness is something you chaps in America introduced to the world and something that ABSOLUTELY rules your life. That is why you think everything can be solved by money. In the UK that would have always been seen as an anathema. The litigious culture that has now infected the UK is horrible and exploited terribly by the worst kind of people for the wrong reasons taking up valuable court time every day.

What a surprise when Incitement is in the news that now anything goes.

I have said it for 12 years.

You guys do not believe in personal responsibility for anything.

And you think other people are acting like babies?
