I'm seriously concerned for my country and the attack on opinion in this country. I remember the concerns raised when the 'hate speech' laws were first promoted and all the reassurances that were given. I never use to believe 'slippery slope' arguments but I've lived long enough now to know they are real. Here we see the next official sanction to the sanitizing of opinion. The literal forced implementation of political correctness in public discourse. Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Aug 2017 1.33am)

Will the use of the word 'scum', routinely used here to describe neo-nazis, be cause for arrests?

I think it is disgraceful that bigoted and racist far-right numpties and bigoted religious extremists are being legally forced to keep their heinous opinions to themselves. And the swastika is still banned in Germany ffs. It's PC gone mad.

In other news, this will flood and quite possibly collapse the CPS with over-zealous right-on Twittestasi Police cases.

Why the term 'hate crime' was ever allowed to be coined is beyond me. Abuse, rape, murder...they were already crimes.

I hope for your sake that the police are not monitoring your use of the phrase "bigoted and racist far-right numpties and bigoted religious extremists" - after all the NHS would probably collapse without such people.

Obviously not. I wonder why?
