Careful what you Tweet...

Post by Thinking Aloud » Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:08 am

Because you're definitely menacing if you're annoyed about snow closing your local airport.

Meanwhile this is OK and not menacing at all:

[Armistice Day...] However, in London a small group of protesters calling themselves Muslims Against Crusades burned a model of a poppy and chanted "British soldiers burn in hell." Waving banners which read "Islam will dominate" and "Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell", they were kept apart by police from a group of around 50 counter-protesters.

Kind of makes you want to give up doesn't it. That is shocking.

The police need shaving foam cannons for that sort of provocative Islamic protest. If you can't legally stop a protest, you can at least take the piss out of it.

That woman judge has established a precedent there. Anything you write here would be subject to the same rule. What's the difference between here and twitter? Not much, the public can read it.
If you wrote something about blowing up an airport or plane, you could easily end up in court.
It's tempting to talk on here as you would privately in a pub, but it could easily put you into very expensive court proceedings.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

I propose we replace the shaving foam with hair removal cream.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?

LOL.

I can't believe the controversy over this and the 'threatening' tweet about that utterly intolerable woman. Britain truly needs to stop worrying. It's not a threat if the MP posts what he did any more than it's a threat if I post "Gareth Compton should probably, before typing, staple his fingers to a wooden plank, then ask an aide to either type his words into twitter or hit him in the face with the plank."
Gallstones, I believe you know how to contact me. The rest of you? I could not possibly even care.
