Glad you said it first. I tend to agree, surely he must have previous?
He'd have got off if he was driving a pink Range Rover.
I'm not sure if they did unearth anything beyond a few other questionable facebook posts, or whether they just decided this unlucky (racist) tw4t, was the one they were going to make an example of.
I've no sympathy for the chap at all, but the sentence does seem draconian, and I'm far from convinced that housing him for a month or more is taxpayers money well spent.. People get less for burgling folks' houses.

No sympathy here. I love it how authorities here and overseas (eg the keyboard Gooner in Singapore who targeted Maupay) are catching up with these racist cowards. Over time imho that will have an effect, for all but the most dim.
But with a sweetener of a lifetime ban from ever attending another Baggies game.
He'd have probably got off if he was an unemplyed violent thug with a string of unpleasant convictions too!
It's all very well making an example of someone, and while I've got no sympathy with anybody who sends racist messages on-line, I do wonder if this sentence isn't excessive - especially if it costs him his job and at his age he can't get another one; that may affect his pension and retirement plans, paying off his mortgage, repercussions for the rest of his life. In the case of someone with no previous convictions as far as we know, that four week sentence could have far more serious repercussions than for a hardened career crimiinal.
The bloke is a lying racist. His feed contained other 'White Lives Matter' posts and other such nonsense.
I had a little exchange this afternoon on twitter, with a couple of clowns seeking to defend this dick, on the auto-correct grounds. One commented that he absolutely believed him, as he'd tried typing 'bafoon' in and on his phone too, it had autocorrected to baboon.
I helpfully pointed out that autocorrect is dynamic, and will offer words that you've regularly used previously...

This.
The only reason I'm bothering posting on this thread is that people are defending him with whataboutery.....
How can a 50 year old think he can get away with posting racist nonsense on the internet in this day and age? What was his excuse - that he hasn't used the internet before and also hadn't heard that racism is no longer acceptable? And people still complain about players taking the knee? OK, mates.
The trouble is......and this is clear from this thread.....people still think it's harmless bantz.
What this has to do with Katie Price, also, is beyond me. Whatabout . . . . . (fill in the blank with your latest favourite bit of whataboutery ).

I tried typing bafoon in a text and it did autocorrect to baboon and I can’t think of any time I would have written baboon before.
I still don’t believe his excuse.
Jail for racist trolling is ridiculous when people that physically attack and harm people sometimes get away with a suspended sentence.
Racist words is wrong but physical harm is even worse and should be treated so by the courts .
I typed bafoon into my phone and it autocorrected to bacon!!
Although oddly, typing bafoon on my Mac while typing this message it did autocorrect to baboon! Very odd!
Anyway ... I'm with those that have no sympathy with the 50 year old ignorant tw*t!!
I hope he has a very uncomfortable stay at HM pleasure!
