I wonder who desides what is offensive or insulting?

I say this as I find it a discrace that this chap (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cambridgeshire/6943734.stm) was threated with a fine.

surly thats sensership.

but then i did say a few times that we are now doing what the natzis did before ww2.

Its a shame about his name though. Mr Pratt.

I agree, it's a disgrace. Reminds me of the guy in America who was thrown out of a shopping mall for wearing an anti-war T shirt. We need a law that protects freedom of speech - mind you, the Yanks have one and it doesn't seem to be working.

Mate of mine was thrown out of a shopping mall for handing out information about sweatshop labour outside Gap. The security guards were proper rough, ripped his top & left bruises all down his arm.

Gap don't like anti sweatshop protests etc. Someone I know chained the doors of one of the stores together so no one could get in and no one could get out muhahaha.

That's strange - Because we Southerners thought exactly the same about some Northerners - But, being gentlemen we decided pissing in your drink would make you feel more welcome.

is it not freedom of speech to tell someone you don't want them on your premises as you do not agree with their POV?

freedom of speech can never be blackmail to do whatever you want on private property.
