You get off easy this time. But that's because you had the temerity to admit you're incorrect. Wink

So not only is internet trolling illegal, but hurting people's feelings is too. Good Lord, what happened to the UK? Sheesh.

So much for the playing fields of Harrow and Eton, eh?

RE: A leopard can't change its spots.
Let's return to the court case and who is involved.
There is indeed a history of neighbour disputes between the complainant and the accused.
This culminated in the accused, Jena Mason , displaying the golliwog in a prominent window in her 16th century manor house.
The neighbour, Mrs O'donnell , lives in a £1 million converted barn.
It is clear we are dealing here with rich people.
The court will decide whether the accused's actions constitute racial harassment that the complainant is alleging.
The magistrates will need to judge whether the accused intended to harass the complainant by use of the golliwog, KNOWING THAT SO DOING IS RACIALLY OFFENSIVE TO THE NEIGHBOUR.
It can only be offensive if the history of the golliwog figure is taken account of and if it is, in the magistrates' eyes, still offensive today.

The accused looks old, about my age and she will be well aware of the history of the golliwog and how, over time, its popularity dropped because of the racist connotations. I think it likely, but it is for the court to decide, that she knew exactly what she was doing by displaying the doll so prominently at the time she did so i.e whilst in conflict with her neighbour.

Thing is...Did the defendant actually display the "Golliwog" or is the complainant just being racist??

The lawyer will argue this point I am thinking. Inside her window or outside?? Did SHE ACTUALLY put it there or was there so other agent (say a child) who put the TOY in the window?? And we ARE watching a pair of old biddies with million dollar dwellings arguing as litigation is now the NEW way of saying "Hi Hi welcome to the neigbourhood?? They must have very sad and lonely lives is my thinking.

I have a dildo easily viewed through my window...WTF are YOU doing perving in through MY window?? Angry Get A Life!! Grr Argue

RE: A leopard can't change its spots.
Bozo, it really doesn't matter what happens in court... That doesn't make it right.

And just because a court decides it is racial harassment doesn't mean it actually is. You really shouldn't put you faith in the justice system to be right.

Like mentions earlier, the two guys who were put away for 4 years because of a comment on Facebook... That is wrong in my eyes. I don't agree with what they said, but sexual assault and grievous bodily harm get 4 years... Is saying something the same as them?

Indeed, the lawyers will put both cases.

Indeed. My point being a) we have two old biddies that don't have a life and b) just how did the Golliwog get to the window and was it intentional??

Quite frankly I am thinking it is a distraction for the UK for the mess it is in. This is the best your tabloids can come up with?? Thinking Not any different to Australlias then... Thinking
