Yeah and in my opinion they are fundamentally wrong. The telecomms laws are a disgrace to be honest. Why? Because they’re saying to people that you can’t go around abusing people without consequences? No, because people are routinely investigated and convicted of “crimes” like “distributing offensive material” online, i.e. tweeting something someone took offence at. “Hate incidents” are recorded as such upon their report, whether there’s any evidence of the motive - or even the actual incident - or not. The report is as simple as submitting a form online. This gets conflated with crime, whence come headlines like “hate crime increases four-fold in three months” and suchlike. It’s an affront to civil liberties and freedom of speech, not to mention a grotesque waste of police resources.

That’s the problem! 😉

Lozza “free speech” Fox there, agitating for a crackdown on British people speaking freely The original video was posted by a really lovely guy. Who encourages a lad who looks younger than 4 to drink San Miguel. But still, he’s anti-“woke” and claims to have an absolute bucketload of respect for Lee Rigby so must be trustworthy.... Re the tweet from Lozza - it wasn’t a “massacre”... I think Boris Johnson may have more urgent business to attend to.... how is it possible for that idiot to kill Lee Rigby a second time?... and why did the guy in the glasses ask that question when he knew it had no relevance whatsoever to the protests today? So many questions, so many cunts in the world
