Ridiculous. The worse that would have happened here would be a
night in jail for public intoxication. I'm surprised she wasn't
tried under Shia law and had her tongue removed in a public arena.
The British call "us" un-civilized when they don't even allow free
speech? Lol... I know who is free'er, no doubt in my mind.
Britanistan - has a real nice ring to it.

Are the drawings/plans ready to convert St Paul's Cathedral into a
mosque yet?

She's out of control but the camera operator keeps egging her on
to get good footage. Shouldn't that raghead get charged with
inciting a riot or something?!

The extreme sentence is not an example of moral progress, only of a
power shift. If someone has been given the whip hand and decides to
administer a bloody flogging, is that to be seen as an advance in
enlightenment?

The *thought police* exist everywhere, and many of those people
believe that if you don't tow the line that means you need
psychiatric help, your delusional, and/or your simply stupid. Try
posting a POV that is diametrically opposed to the PC mantra on
any given topic and see how quickly several people will pipe up
and tell you that your delusional, in need of pychiatric help, and/or
your simple stupid!

Although we believe in free speech, how often do you see
people being told to shut up or some other method in order
to silence someone else who doesn't tow the pc line?

What line? The problem here is that you are making these wild
accusations because some have taken exception to what you have posted.
What PC mantra are you referring to? The problem is not a person's
reaction to what you post, the problem is your continuing refusal to
clarify, expound or answer questions about said post. You see a
person's reaction as an attack on you. It's not, it's your posted words
that have resulted in the response you don't like.

People are free to react to what you post. Instead of getting all
huffy, why don't you explain? You don't do that, you just head off in
another direction, like totally unsupportable fear mongering. You claim
to believe in free speech, yet you continue to take exception when
others engage in that very activity. Ever consider that the problem is
your refusal to explain what you're saying?

I fire back with the truth just like you do, Graham.

Nothing, mate. It's still accepted that with every individual right comes
an equal duty to one's fellow members of society. This case of the loud-
mouthed bigoted bitch on the tube is a perfect example of this. She
deserved what she got.

Wrong. The silly bitch was behaving in a manner which might have caused a
breach of the peace, a public order offence. Of course she was exercising
her right to free speech, but she was unaware of, or didn't give a shit
about, her responsibilities to society which go along with this right.

She was drunk and disorderly, a crime under the Criminal Justice act. She
used 'threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or disorderly
behaviour', a crime under the Public Order Act. Nothing at all to do with
exercising her right to free speech, mate. It was criminal behaviour,
pure and simple.

The government took no reprisal, mate. The mouthy, drunken, bigoted bitch
broke our society's rules and paid the price.

We all have rights, but we have responsibilities to match. The public
order laws we have are designed to deal with those who forget or ignore
these responsibilities.

In this case, the system worked as it was designed to do, and I'm pleased
by that.

Exactly right, and it is not only the 'several people' that pipe up
yelling abuse at those who propose a non consensus view; but
invariably they will be supported by the appearance of users with
names never before seen on this newsgroup, who just happen to parrot
exactly the same "you need help" mantra.

They will then be followed by some brain dead object that does nothing
else but inform us that it is all the fault of the Jews, the
Illuminati, a bunch of lizards, David Icke, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

It is so predictable that I cant help thinking that all these
*responses* must be centrally co-ordinated. What amuses me though, is
that these people seem to be under the impression that their posts are
taken seriously.
