It is fun to play with a few scenarios though. And at what point, do you think, behaviour should fall under the constraints of law?

I think we both agree that t-shirt bloke shouldn’t be arrested even if he’d rocked up at a memorial service for a Hillsborough victim.
But what about if his actions were verbal? What about if he confronted a Scouser in the street and aggressively told him he’s glad the 96 died?

Why would this be incitement to hatred or cause fear, panic or distress but a t-shirt wouldn’t?
