well that serves me right for not being a 'regular' anymore. I'm so last year.
that's what happens when you go and get a life.
/// charged with displaying some writing, signs or other visible representation which was threatening, abusive, or insulting within the hearing or sight of person likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress which was racially aggravated.///

Doesn't these charges also fit those who demonstrated at our troops home comings, the poppy burners and 'stars and stripes' flag burners?

How come none of them were hauled before the courts?
A very different thing altogether AOG, but yes they should have been prosecuted.

I think that having a Gollywog on display is not at all offensive unless it is done particularly to offend as in this case! Guilty as charged!!

The poppy burner, Emdadur Choudhury, was charged with an offence under Section 5 of Public Order Act 1986. Under the act, a person is guilty of an offence if they use either, threatening abusive or insulting words, disorderly behaviour, or display any writing, sign or visible representation that he threatening or insulting. He was found to be gulity and was fined.

Hold on RATTER, she hasn't yet been found guilty of by the court, so I find it a little unfair for you to pass judgement on her.

She claims she did not display the Gollywog to cause offence, so how do you know differently, let the courts decide hey?

Thank you for that information, but why was only the poppy burner, Emdadur Choudhury found guilty, what about all the others who committed the other offences?
AOG, Dont be a total be a total fool all your life, have a day off.
hard to see how burning the stars and stripes is a racial issue.

Typical, just spew out a load of insults if corrected for issuing typical knee jerk answers when a person has not yet been before the courts let alone found guilty.

But if you must issue insults, please make sure your rudeness is typed correctly.

/// Dont be a total be a total ///

Make up your mind.
So petty!!!
