The worst laws in terms of causing offence are surely the blasphemy laws. Why should domebody be jailed for making remarks about a fictional being that doesnt exist because it offends somebody that is naive enought to believe in such a being?

Re: Another jailed for causing 'offence' : Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:47 am  
That's actually a bloody good article. But I still don't knwo what Wood said, in order to be jailed. Some of his "jokes" have surfaced, but it seems to be the case that the "worst" excesses for which he is doing time are not for public consumption.

This is nuts.

The message in the case reports should at least be:

This man said x,y and z. X is bad, but y and z are imprisonable. So take note, and don't come out with stuff like this yourself".

Whereas I can take no lesson from Mr Wood's case. For I know there are things I may say on Facebook that are so bad, I will be jailed, but I am not allowed to know what those things are. However if ever up on a charge, I would presumably be jailed because I "should have known".

To report, in full, what he said that has got him jailed, would upset no-one. The upset (such as whatever it was) was caused by whoever it was that read his utterings and was grievously offended by them. No such person could possibly be re-offended by reading a report of what they already know he wrote.

So why can we not be told what it was, and if we are not to be told, then what is the point?

Not really thought of it from that angle but you are 100% right and makes it even more of a mockery.

Any coincidence that the butt of the jokes that got these two oddjobs sent down were young white females? Young white female victim = more public outrage, more public outrage = higher likelihood of prison term.

May as well wear a t-shirt saying 'F**king Bl*ck C**ts' on it. You'll just get a slap on t'wrist for that. :wink:

In the early 90's the Police were threatening to arrest anyone wearing an Inspiral Carpets "Cool As F" (you know the word) T-Shirt though not sure they ever did, before that it was court cases involving Never Mind The rubbish same crap different decade springs to mind.
