Moral hystericals are writing the laws of the UK, whilst scoundrels run things. Interesting results...

I'm a little confused. It's illegal to offend someone in England

If he got a bit over-excited, they might have taken him in for a public order offence.

You can't stand up in public, and shout offensive racist stuff in Britain. Free speech is limited in that way. And I think it's a good thing too.

And I've got no problem with sexuality being treated the same.

Religion is different. It's not something you're born with. If you choose to believe it, it's your problem.
If it's legal to PUSH that shit in public, it should be legal to RIDICULE it in public too.
It generally is, but we have some blasphemy laws of some kind that need repealing.

You can shout anything at all on condition

1) You are in a fair sized group

2) It's a small town with a large white flight populace

The police cuts, they'll keep groups apart - that's as far as it goes.

That's like saying we have free laptops, because it's possible to steal one.

We've got free everything, on that basis.

Piracy isn't a crime, getting caught is....

If there's no cop about it isn't a crime. Fact.
