My daughter has a black Pooh, well near as. She threatened to beat up her bf if he touched him.....the BF has been on-line and found an identical on, the same vintage etc. Talk about making kudos points with her, so she now has one yellow and one black bear.

Where a case might end up before the courts though is if the offender is guilty of "threatening or abusive words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour" in a racially-aggravated manner. (Section 5, Public Order Act 1986). An offender CAN'T be sent to prison for such an action; the maximum penalty is a fine of £2,500 (although, since fines are actually related to disposable income, most fines imposed would be much lower than that).
It's only the most serious offences of racially aggravated anti-scoial behaviour which can be successfully prosecuted under Section 4 of the Act. Such offences can lead to terms of imprisonment of up to 6 months if the case is heard before magistrates or of up to 2 years if the case reaches the Crown court. However Section 4 wouldn't be used against someone who simply made a few racist remarks. It would take, for example, a campaign of action by the offender against his victim to result in such a serious charge.

It all "depends". If they are white then they should be locked up and fed bread and water for eva and eva. If they are anything other than white they should be awarded an all expenses paid holiday in an exotic location of their own choice.
