Question for British: what would happen in your country if THIS happened?

[X]

I suppose it might be picked up on by a very small minority of people, who could idiotically post it on their social media feeds or on websites (the sort of people who enjoy feeling outraged or insulted)

Otherwise, I doubt whether anyone would care. It certainly would not be headline news or anything.

I mean, who cares what some minor league nobody says or thinks?


We do have some laws about inciting hatred etc but these are really about 'groups' of people rather than individuals. So, for example, I think someone who said all gays should be assassinated might get into a bit of trouble (but it's only a fine), but that wouldn't apply to saying that a single gay should be killed (as long as it wasn't because they were gay, which makes it an attack on all gay people)

I think that's how it works here?
