Drewmanc said:This plebs arrest this morning got me thinking about freedom of speech in society so a quick google brought up that we are allowed to say or think whatever we choose as we are free to do so, but in 1998 a law was brought in that if something we have said or done while excercising our right to freedom of speech and it upsets somebody that we can be prosecuted for it. This lads a cretin but a mighty bollocking is surely required, why waste police time arresting the ****? And what the fuck is the point in saying we have freedom of speech when we quiet clearly do not.
Freedom of speech in its most basic form, just doesn't exist.
You can go around, as this lad did yesterday, threatening to drown people, knife others, rape others, threaten to break people's necks.
I mentioned last night that a drunken racist tweet about Muamba got a student sent down a few months back. This, imo, was far worse... he's only shown remorse when he thinks ther'll be consequences, and even breaks that remorse to go back and threaten to 'drown' Daley.
Perhaps he'll learn a decent lesson through all this.
