So those who stay at school. should not have the vote?
Should being in gainful employment be the criterion?

They can do those things with restrictions. You have to be in education until 18. You can’t go to the front line, etc.
Because they aren’t adults.

I've not said being healthy or funny is illegal FFS.
So you think such banners are OK do you??

No I think people should be banned. I don’t think they should be arrested.

Yes it can be but in human genetics its used as a general term to mean just breeding outside of your own family… I.e the opposite of inbred

Whether you like it or not, breach of the peace is an arrestable offence.
I'm pretty sure pissing off thousands of folk with an offensive banner mocking the accidental death of someone, can be classed as breach of the peace.

Looking forward to Sunderland fans all being arrested for Jimmy in a box.
It's social media pettyness and easy arrests for the police. Pathetic.

This is where its a grey area.
Telling a joke to your mates about Diana is one thing. Displaying a banner publicly mocking a death so that thousands of others can see it, it's totally different.

I don’t think breach of the peace is intended to be that wide TBH.
Pissing someone off shouldn’t be illegal. It’s totally subjective.

That's not breach of the peace.
Otherwise somebody making a joke about trans people could be arrested.
Where does it end?
If that's the case, anybody wearing a wasps shirt in Coventry should be arrested.

Quite a lot of ways of pissing people off seems to be illegal these days.

No one can condone it but it’s not something that’s a prosecuting offence

Of course its breach of the peace FFS. The man turned Leicester from a lower EPL team/top end Champ team, into EPL winners. Their fans rightly have a deep affection to him. And a minority of our fans are mocking his traggic death.

To be fair, Jimmy Hill died naturally having lived a full life, it wasn't a tragedy like this where innocent people were killed through no fault of their own or Bradley the Sunderland fan dying. Not saying it makes it right but it's completely different.

A lot of it is snowflake wokery. This helicopter stuff isn’t.

Yet when people step into the real world and go into a pub you get all sorts of jokes. Heard about 3 Maddie McCann comments last night alone.
Yeah there's dark jokes, jokes that go too far, things that try hard but aren't funny.

That's what makes it subjective.
Some things like showing pictures of the kid on their phone just makes people look like bellends.

That McCann joke was to you and some mates I guess. Do you or whoever you were with have any connection to McCann? I doubt it.
Saying something to thousands who have a connection with someone is totally different. You're not comparing similar things.

This is where it's entirely subjective. Much like somebody cracking a princess Diana joke.

Should denying Christ is our saviour be a criminal offence? It will deeply upset millions with a strong connection to Christ.
Ultimately being offensive, as long as it doesn’t tip into threats of violence or harassment shouldn’t be illegal because I can claim to be offended by anything and it’s completely unfalsifiable.

Like I said, doesn't matter whether you think it shouldn't be illegal or not, it is.

The Crown Prosecution Service says you can be prosecuted over it. Whether you agree or not, that's the law.Breach of the peace
