European News and Poland Thread - part 4

Firstly, there will not be a knock at the door from your imagined "Thought Police" and if there was, I would simply tell them to £uck off!

Close to 3000 Brits are arrested every year for posting "hate speech".

I guess they were too shy to say it.

They should move to the USA....if only there weren't these tornadoes. 🌪

He`s right! Definetly dont come to the USA. With all these deadly tornadoes, most Europeans wouldnt know whether to run, hide or try to reason with it in a town hall meeting. lol

Absolute bollox!!As usual!

Some 741 people have now been arrested, of which 302 have been charged.

Yeah, that is still far too many, but nowhere near your figure of 3,000!!!

Or far too few.

The new proposals for anti- subversion laws are interesting. Nobody wants to go back to the 60s or 70s when MI5 monitored some political currents but not others, however the role of malign state actors in whipping up hatred is well enough known.

What's wrong with whipping up hatred?

I hate migrants because they are here illegally, cost us an arm and a leg, commit crimes, ...

There...I am whipping...Any comment about migrants from you, weasel?

Over there, there's even a penalty for burning that garish flag.

Over where?

Can you burn the Koran in the UK?

Why would anyone burn books?

Libraries do all the time....

Burning a particular book shouldn't be an offense, religious feelings be d@mend.

Better to sell them for 50p a pop. That or recycle.


Unfortunately some religious people have conniptions about this (depending on whose text it is) and of course the Heine quote "those who burn books will in the end burn people" does carry some weight.

Blasphemy laws were scrapped in England and Wales about 20 years ago and in Scotland a few months ago. AFAIK they still have them in NI which is more religious. There was an incident in PL a few years ago where a clergyman was publicly burning Harry Potter books however I forget how that turned out.

Maybe contact them and tell them they're doing things wrong....


BFD

I'd guess environmental rules and the general lack of fireplaces and furnaces nowadays has done that.

IIRC there was an incinerator.... burned books were not rare but the library's copies were no longer fit for use (and could not realistically be sold in one of the periodic book sales they had).

Just answer the question, you slippery snake. Can you burn the Koran in the UK?

Why would anyone burn the flag?

Hey, the oiled eel, evasive, forked tongue hisser, there are millions of patriots who would adopt the flag, condemned for burning, pay for the privilege, not to mention
avoiding air pollution.

Unless they were really badly damaged, they'd go in the 5p rack or be donated to a prison.

Library books in the U.K. always have snot and dried cornflakes in them anyway.

Note to self: Cancel that library tour of the UK....

The why is irrelevant for now.

Is burning Koran against the law in the UK?

So many have sadly closed over the past few years.

Closing libraries is sad.

Spending 28% of UK annual budget on migrants is not sad enough to be mentioned but British bootlicking weasels.

I will exchange one migrant for one book.... 🤭

But who would deliver the book to you?

For the record, burning books isn't illegal in most of the UK (NI is an exception due to religious conflict), however anyone starting fires in public would probably face other charges.

So, a person filming themselves throwing a koran into the fire on that bonfire holiday would not face any charges?

Who would do that and why?

The law deals with things that actually happen,

Remember, we're generally very tolerant.

If someone goes on social media and rites "let's form a mob tonight and burn down a building/kill a person", they will get in trouble; same across the Atlantic and rightly so. The woman, however, who filmed herself on the day the Queen died opening champagne and shouting "good riddance to Lizzie", while standing in the street near Balmoral Castle and put it on youtube was chased out of town by an angry crowd however she was driven to safety by the police and not prosecuted.

The Lucy Connolly case seems a bit extreme.... getting more prison time than those actually rioting? How does that make sense?

How does this make sense?

Why did the UK government lie about Southport?
