I skipped to the ones I actually knew about (E.g. Stacey, Giggs, Cryer) Take the end quote, for example: "The judiciary needs to make it plain for people who can't think beyond the next 30 seconds to consider if what they are going to say is an offence," The problem is that, given enough people, somebody somewhere is going to be offended. Twitter essentially puts 68 million people (in the UK) all in a room. And if one guy says something stupid, then he's screwed. To take a very liberal, American line: Censoring speech is censoring thought. Censoring thought is the very definition of thought control. Thought control leaves no freedom. Once they control your mind, they control you. Freedom becomes a memory

Our judges are supposed to be unswayed by media pressure, but you should try being completely shut out from the media in general. I dont envy how judges do their job

Yeah true, I suppose. It would be very hard to not be swayed. The blame lies with the media... but then it is hard to censor their persuasive arguments, influencing people, without censoring/controlling the media. And that opens up a whole new avenue of corruption/mind control ![]() Indeed Greysoul, great minds think alike

I would say I lean more liberal, but the American conservatives do have some good ideas. |

I wish we had such left-wing, right-wing politics over here. Maybe 3-4 groups in the middle grey areas. Over here we just have Eaton educated OR Eaton educated OR Eaton educated

I had an Idea from the title... Freedom of Ice Cream!!! but anyways I bet governments and people get falsely arrested all the time but more about this case it seams to be an opinion on rather the punishment was to harsh or not. I think that it should be a democracy were the local people vote on whats best. ( that may made no sense sense it bean 27 hours sense I went to sleep = D (I can not fall asleep) ) |

(E.g. Stacey, Giggs, Cryer)


) Note that in my opinion he was VERY close to actually deserving what he got. Obviously his twitter was somewhat popular for it to be ripped into by the media. What he wrote, people read. The real one at fault is your legal system. Freedom of speech is the most basic of rights for a human being. Without that "freedom" is just an illusion altogether. No offense meant to you limes.
