calling monty a big-nosed **** on here?

It won't change the fact that he's a big-nosed ****, of course.

I have never done such a thing and would have no intention of doing so regardless on the legal position on the usage of such nomenclature.

Which law is this, anyway?

Arrested for being technically correct ?
What a load of Blenkinsops !

Mezut the first to fall victim

calling monty a big-nosed **** on here?

It won't change the fact that he's a big-nosed ****, of course.

But only if I report you, right?

[Sir C]

Hate crime. The DPP is going to come down hard on those who dare express an opinion outwith allowable lefty groupthink.

[Sir C]

But only if I report you, right?

You, or anyone else.

You're going to report me, aren't you? :-(

[Monty92]

Hate crime. The DPP is going to come down hard on those who dare express an opinion outwith allowable lefty groupthink.

Don't be such a cynic. There's absolutely no way that any double standards will be applied when implementing this law, and any suggestion that leftist abuse will be largely ignored is simply paranoia on your part.

[Sir C]

Thank God you've put my mind at ease there.

[Monty92]

You, or anyone else.

You're going to report me, aren't you? :-(

That very much depends. I am highly persuadable when certain carrots* are dangled in front of me.

*Your cock

Dangling is the only suitable word, sadly :-(

Do not show him your dust gun C !
You will then be arrested for indecent exposure

I would be a little more concerned about your words about the Irishman than those about the Jewish gentleman.

He keeps lists, you know.

Minimum sentence is a jail term.

I have always liked M.

[Peter]

calling monty a big-nosed **** on here?

It won't change the fact that he's a big-nosed ****, of course.

So don't call him that.

What about tree fellers? Is that still ok?

[Burney]

calling monty a big-nosed **** on here?

It won't change the fact that he's a big-nosed ****, of course.

Why do people keep doubling down on this utter, utter shīt? There is virtually no evidence of online abuse translating into actual harm to individuals, which means we are now policing people's hurty feels. Why?

[Ash]

My word. They'd better start building some more jails then.

[Sir C]

I would be a little more concerned about your words about the Irishman than those about the Jewish gentleman.

Abusing Paddies must still be allowed, surely? They're usually too pissed to object, anyway.

[Burney]

I would be a little more concerned about your words about the Irishman than those about the Jewish gentleman.

Surely Irish heritage is a mitigating factor in defending against accusations of hate crime, a?

Also, the English are forever getting slagged off online. Can we all sue?

[Sir C]

Why do people keep doubling down on this utter, utter shīt? There is virtually no evidence of online abuse translating into actual harm to individuals, which means we are now policing people's hurty feels. Why?

Because, and this is a scientific fact, about 18 months ago the world went suddenly bonkers.

[Monty92]

Why do people keep doubling down on this utter, utter shīt? There is virtually no evidence of online abuse translating into actual harm to individuals, which means we are now policing people's hurty feels. Why?

I do agree. However, I do recall that you yourself have blamed social media for coarsening the way we interact with each other and making it socially acceptable to be a rude ****. So what to do other than regulate it?

If your papers are in order you might be ok there, Mr O'Burney.

English are fair game. Punching up, innit.

[Sir C]

So don't call him that.

What about tree fellers? Is that still ok?

I like calling him that. It's the only leisure activity I can afford, what with paying about 112% of my income in taxation to try to make up for that one-eyed scotch ****'s determination to buy votes by hurling wads of cash at lazy *******s and foreigners.

[Burney]

I do agree. However, I do recall that you yourself have blamed social media for coarsening the way we interact with each other and making it socially acceptable to be a rude ****. So what to do other than regulate it?

I believe it absolutely has coarsened those things. The ability to say something nasty to someone and a/ not be around for the aftermath of hurt it causes and b/ be in no risk of a smack in the mouth have allowed people to lay off their inner editor. However, while I bemoan that, I don't think that means I have to advocate legislating about it, does it?

Would you mind if we moved away from the subject of my ruined, useless, ironically named membrum virile? It's a little depressing from this angle.

[Burney]

The concept of 'punching up' does amuse me - not least because of its inherently bigoted assumption of superiority on the part of those being punched. Thus, to the white, middle class liberal mentality, a wealthy Indian or African person may slag off a poor white English person because they are 'punching up', which actually only serves to endorse and reinforce ingrained ideas of racial hierarchy. :hehe:

It's nice that you can mock your own speech impediment like this, m.

Oh, I do. He is pleasingly robust. As, amusingly, is Captain Kirk.

As I understand it, he sounds like a Regency fop.

[redgunamo]

Oh, I do. He is pleasingly robust. As, amusingly, is Captain Kirk.

He is currently going hard after a chap who threatened him with violence there; has been citing examples of online ****ery escalating to the real thing, especially those regarding celebrities like himself.

I gather he sounds rather like Theo Walcott. Which is good.

Brian Walden with the sound turned down

[Burney]

I don't really have any memory of what Theo Walcott sounds like. He just sort of stands there and blands at the camera. He could announce that he's just bummed Alexis Sanchez and I'd barely notice.

sw, we all know that beneath that surly, snarling exterior lingers the tender heart of a man who weeps at romcoms, listens to Barbra Streisand and regularly uses the phrase 'Let's hug it better'. You can't hide it from us.

We all know you're soft as shíte, really. :nod:
