I believe in free speech for all, not getting the courts involved with social media posts and not being able to police thoughts put into writing.
But for this bell-end I’d gladly make an exception.
I detest Barton, he’s a violent, racist ,thug, who tried to downplay a racist murder committed by his brother.
That being said surely the only thing in those tweets that should be considered a crime is libelling Vine as a paedo. Being an obnoxious cunt to someone shouldn’t be a criminal matter.
Justice system: sorry, we don’t have the resources to deal with your burglary, bike theft, assault, etc
Also justice system: we have plenty of resources to deal with name calling on twitter
“What someone is not entitled to do is to post communications electronically that are – applying those standards – beyond the pale of what is tolerable in society.”
What is tolerable in society and what is criminal are not the same things. Nothing of what he said was a threat – either direct or passing – or libellous. He’s an idiot, a w***er and a bell end, but all of those tweets are the kind of rubbish that gets thrown about on twitter all the time.
This is the kind of thing that – back in the days of sanity – if an employer found their employee was saying this online, they may decide they don’t want to employ this person any more, and most of their friends would think “I’m not going to talk to you anymore, you’re a c**t”, but that’s it.
The man’s a w***er, but that shouldn’t be a criminal offence.
