Is what you may think in the back of your mind always the best thing to do?
I think not, but many have fallen for this false premise when the people
saying it are not politicians or influential, except through the media they
prosper in who see them as a meal ticket.It's a topsy turvy World.

I can note the points made but before long we will be scared to say anything,no banter in football crowds,pubs with snitches reporting anything untoward,a dangerous step when we let the compensation lawyers control us.

you can still banter, you can speak the truth

if you make an error you recognise .....apologise


and anonymous forums are different to ones where people go by their real names and
have real reputations that can be damaged by other real people


libel law, and slander has existed for years, certainly not a new thing

There never used to be a large segment of the country looking to be offended though. As for banter, it is becoming increasingly sterile in many places and will vanish eventually. Was there banter in fictional Stepford? I can't remember tbh

banter is usually between two people or groups and not abuse by one on another

calling it banter afterwards is a device used by some




i was surprised at the millwall spurs stuff yesterday, it didnt seem racist, just an attempt at humour
to put off a player. still, its being investigated, and perhaps we have moved a step closer to
a banterless society

You had better tell the  chancers, fraudsters, shoplifters, thieves, pickpockets, drunk and violent visitors we have in a town near me. Our friends, who are all the same as us, having a field day just shrugging their shoulders claiming they don't understand or don't speak the language.

Of course this statement is just made to stir up trouble.  But tell the locals this and Bleeding would get a flea in his ear.  But then bleeding has his eu backed agenda to follow.

Of course - there would be none of that if we hadn't let them in.  A lot less crime, vehicle accidents and fraud. But hey ho let's embrace the open door policy and let more in to turn us over.

A LOT LESS CRIME - keep them out and there are less problems but instead we are importing traffickers and known criminals into this country. Others are trying to take a free ride or even abuse the generosity of people here.

You are making statements without proof ,show me any that proves beyond reasonable doubt that
immigrants or refugees commit more crime as a percentage of population than Native Brits?
By:
not allowed to bet
When: 13 Mar 17 20:07
As I said - if you let more in there will be more crime.  I couldn't be more clear than that.  I haven't said ANYTHING about percentages/population. Importing known criminals as well just adds to the growth of crime.
They rub their hands at the thought of being allowed into the UK to cruise the motorways doing their scrap theft.  There are gangs from poland and bulgaria helping themselves, getting arrested then leave the country only to come back again later.

I hope this helps.

Jack Monroe "fell apart as a person" after defamatory tweets sent by Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins, the food blogger has told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.

As she was receiving this abuse, Ms Monroe had offered to drop the case in exchange for a charitable donation: “Dear @KTHopkins, public apology + £5K to migrant rescue and I won’t sue. It’ll be cheaper for you and v satisfying for me."


Who advised KH to not accept this initial offer in the first place? Surely KH should have cashed out before the money became a silly amount.

Jack Monroe "fell apart as a person" after defamatory tweets sent by Mail Online columnist Katie Hopkins, the food blogger has told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Monroe successfully sued Hopkins over two tweets published in 2015, asking if Monroe had "scrawled on any [war] memorials recently".
This had suggested Monroe had either vandalised a war memorial or "condoned or approved" of it, the blogger said.
Hopkins told the BBC: "No comment."
Monroe told the programme Hopkins's tweets had left the blogger "absolutely horrified".
"My brother is an officer in RAF, my dad was a paratrooper in the Falklands," Monroe said.
"As part of the evidence [from the trial], I've got six A4 ring-binders of tweets I received - somebody telling me I should be shot in the head, put in a wheelchair - all sorts of abuse.
"It wasn't just in the aftermath in May [2015].
"It was ongoing, every time it came up.
"The stress was so awful, I ended up leaving my partner.
"My relationship broke down, I was about to get married. I fell apart as a person.
"Online abuse permeates into every aspect of everyday life.
"It was a life-changing series of events.
"I had a complete breakdown."
Monroe said that having won £24,000 damages, plus legal costs, in a libel action earlier this month, "I've got space to breathe and do my actual work".
"It's been almost two years of weekly legal meetings," Monroe said. "So it's a huge weight lifted.
"I hope it teaches people to be a bit nicer to each other."

The case arose after some Twitter users highlighted an anti-Conservative profanity daubed on a memorial to the women of World War Two during an anti-austerity demonstration.
In May 2015, Hopkins tweeted: "@MsJackMonroe scrawled on any memorials recently? Vandalised the memory of those who fought for your freedom. Grandma got any more medals?"
The judge presiding over the case, Mr Justice Warby, ruled that the tweet "meant that Ms Monroe condoned and approved of scrawling on war memorials, vandalising monuments commemorating those who fought for her freedom".
He found that a second tweet from Hopkins "meant that Ms Monroe condoned and approved of the fact that in the course of an anti-government protest there had been vandalisation by obscene graffiti of the women's war memorial in Whitehall, a monument to those who fought for her freedom".
The judge added: "These are meanings with a defamatory tendency, which were published to thousands."
'Make a donation'
Monroe said Hopkins had initially been asked to delete her tweet, but "she didn't respond to me being nice".
"She blocked me immediately instead of responding," Monroe said.
"So then I said, 'Make a donation and it goes away.'
"And she didn't respond to that. In the months that followed, I made several offers to her to make an apology [without receiving one]."
Monroe added: "I've got a lot of compassion for her actually.
"It can't be nice for the whole world to be waiting for your downfall.
"I said to my followers on Friday, 'Don't be abusive, don't be unkind to her.' It doesn't make anyone feel good.
"I don't support her in what she does, but no-one will get anywhere by name-calling."
