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

They protected one lot because there would have been a riot which would have endangered public safety. When there is a planned protest, there will always be a police presence. It's not because the police force are pro Islamic extremist.

As for the guy with the Tshirt, he's an attention seeking idiot but I'm not sure it warrants jail.

So the difference is - one lot informed the police of their intention to offend the public beforehand and the other didn't. Makes sense.

Somebody sent to prison for an anti-police t shirt. Some Muslim gets sent to prison for posting something about British soldiers on the internet. This is just fucking wrong. It doesn't matter how reprehensible somebody's stated opinion is, they should be free to express it.

Voltaire quotes

That said should we have tougher sentences for the scumbags in the population? Oh yes. I don't think we should lock them up though, just end their access to benefits and throw them in work houses. Rather than pay fortunes to lock them up make them work to earn their keep and force them into work when they're let out of the work house by not allowing them much in the way of benefits.

Well I personally feel we should get all the chav's, the t-shirt guy and anyone who has ever been a guest on Jeremy Kyle, round them up... put them in a field and...

I don't know, i'm not a policeman. The police acted in the correct manner towards the extremist. I've no idea why they've reacted so severely towards the guy with the t-shirt. My guess would be that they've chosen to set a precedent.

I've already said i disagree with it, but i'm past caring what happens to anybody who is stupid enough to wear a t-shirt like that in the first place. Oxygen thieves.
