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

[Memphis]

So long as the appropriate parties 'condemn' the comments all is good. There is a great need to condemn certain actions and boy if you dont condemn them.....

It reminds me of Catch me if you can.

Dr Harris do you concur?

Eh?

Do you concur with Dr Ashley?

Duh?!

We should x-ray and stitch him up.

We done Dr Ashley.

Damn it!! I should have concurred!

So long as we keep levels of condemnation high, everything is fine.

@Master @Beanz I dont get it. So in UK "Paki" or other "derogatory" terms are ILLEGAL HATE SPEECH, but hoping or calling for assassination is a nothing burger? Here in the US it is the opposite, and therein lies many of our disagreements.

assassination/Killing references of politicians are much more heinous. Who wouldnt aagree WEIRD.

I thought you believed in Free Speech? Why is an elected politician more important than a normal person? You think we are weird because we don't find talk of killing one single politician more heinous than people threatening to kill whole groups, races or demographics?

It is weird how hypersensitive you seem to be to anyone saying anything about Trump.

calling "monkey" should be fine free speech; I DO believe in it you nutter. Calling for ASSASSINATING A POLITICIAN OR WHOEVER is rightfully illegal.

It's very true that there are many differences, culturally ideologically economically and politically between many in the US and the UK.

In fact, the cause of most misunderstandings between our politicians, tourists and also business people is that we make the mistake of not remembering that each is really a foreign country.

Having said that, our shared language and general values give us much more in common than there are dividers.

I can't think of any country where British people have so much in common with the inhabitants. Germany, maybe, but the language divides as does our recent history.
