Going to be a very unpleasant time if they get put on a predominantly 'commonwealth' wing in the nick....

i didnt defend it , i attacked the ridiculous sentencing you plum, if it had been the situation in reverse , there is NO WAY it would have ended in prison sentences.

Would you feel the same way if your son had been murdered and then it had taken years for his killers to be brought to justice?

How can you burn a poppy in public or chant death to out troops in the UK but not be arrested?

Where does it say they were drunk? Not that it makes any difference. A drunk racist scumbag is still a racist scumbag.

I think the point of the thread was to question the mentality of the scumbags who were singing the songs. But you go ahead an ignore that, defend them instead...

Because you can only be racist if you're white. Also if you're white you cannot be the victim of racism, these are well known facts in this country.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Whilst they should be punished, a year in prison? That does seem a little excessive.

probably not , but since when has it become statutory to jail people or USING WORDS about an emotive case ?

You can get arrested for burning a poppy, depending on the circumstances - you can even get arrested for posting a picture of a poppy being burnt on Twitter!!!!

It's not so much the action that you get arrested and/or convicted for but rather the effect it has or is likely to have on others.

In this case "

I've heard plenty of fans (including Brighton) sing about Harry Roberts over the years. None of them are serving 18 months for it and having a 8 year break from football as far as I know.

I'm not defending them (as I assume Bushy isn't) but they certainly don't deserve porridge for singing a few songs.

It sets a very worrying precedent.

 

[Working class pride]

I raise an eyebrow at the direction of how "offensive chants" or "offensive views" are becoming "illegal" as Im not sure that being "offensive" should be criminal but there are some football chants that really shouldn't be sung. West Ham guilty of the worst I have heard and it looks like Charlton had a few idiots as well.

 

[The Truth]

Scum bags! Jail term very harsh but what a bunch of spanners! I bet they feel stupid.

To be fair, I shouldn't have accused bushy of defending them. But it felt more sympathetic than angry which surprises me. Do you care that they've been so harshly dealt with or are you suggesting that other crimes should have a more sever punishment?

Anyone singing that sort of shit is a pretty low human being as far as I'm concerned. I actually agree that the sentence is disproportionate compared with many others you read about. But to be honest, I couldn't give a rats arse what happens to them. It's not the harmless singing that really bothers me. It's knowing what they must be like. Horrible people who don't care about anyone else.
