To see reasonable people debating whether the Hillsborough t-shirt bloke

[Sir C]

I have some sympathy, of course. Here we have a man guilty of some of the worst public behaviour imaginable that doesn't involve verbal abuse or physical violence. So instinctively, of course, we want such bad behaviour to be punished harshly and a clip round the ear and sending him on his way certainly feels disproportionately lenient.

But we have forgotten what is at stake here. And for that, I blame the feminists, gays and Allans.

I might get a t-shirt designed.

It is, I suppose, the logical conclusion to the cult of political correctness promulgated with such remarkable fervour by the bien pensant chatterers of the BBC.

It's an issue of thoughtcrime, more than anything.
