    There is no such thing as 'free speech' so shut up and dance with me.

    If if some pissed up looney bowls down the middle of the street yelling abuse and offering to take on all comers, he's going to get arrested, in any country in the world. This has **** all to do with free speech, civil liberties, or any other supposed human rights; it's just common sense. Make a monumental **** of yourself in public, expect to get your collar felt. Even in scandanavia.

    I went into a newspaper office and asked the Editor "Do you believe in Free Speech?"

    "Yes of course I do" he replied.

    "Well lend me your phone" said I as quick as a flash.

    Not entirely correct. We Brits enjoy nothing more that giving it the big 'un in holiday resorts all over Europe every year. :grin:

    Please tell me you're not serious. There's a demo in Golders Green on Saturday by a far right group to protest about the presence of Jews in the area. Do you honestly believe that should be allowed to take place? Just to be clear, I don't think that if you say yes it automatically means you're in support of the cause.

    You can't challenge ideals of morons if they are left to fester in the darkness

    Free speech is the right to say whatever you like about whatever you like, whenever you like, right?

    Wrong.

    'Free speech is the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, by any means.'

    You might not expect us to say this, but in certain circumstances free speech and freedom of expression can be restricted
    .

    Free speech and the right to freedom of expression applies to ideas of all kinds including those that may be deeply offensive. But it comes with responsibilities and we believe it can be legitimately restricted. Governments have an obligation to prohibit hate speech and incitement. And restrictions can also be justified if they protect specific public interest or the rights and reputations of others.

    Mindy yer kidden naibdy son. You're not interested in this poor huns civil liberties. You are just using his plight and this thread to bang on about the OBAF laws that you and your wee playpark pals hate because you canny celebrate yer Irish heritage cos of them an that.

    It's ****ing bullshit. If the guy disne want to end up in court and jail then he disne sing sectarian songs simple as that. Here's the thing about any law. If you don't break them then you won't be arrested by and large.

    Kudos to you for finding a new way to talk about your favourite subject though. Use a hun, like it.

    This hun disne give a **** about that hun though. I don't know any hun who cares to be honest. I'm sure there are huns out there who do. Probably the wans that like a wee sing song down the lodge of a Saturday night.
