When Does A Racially Aggravated Public Order Offence Become Political Satire?

[naomi24]

//A teacher who held a placard at a pro-Palestine protest depicting Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts has been found not guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence.

The judge ruled that Marieha Hussain’s placard was “political satire”. //

It's difficult not to think that it depends upon who's holding the placard.

"Postbox", was always acceptable, since it descibed the situation well, but some simply had it in for the user of the phrase and would stop at nothing that'd allow them to sling mud hoping it would stick.

I don't think anyone with the surname hussain was going to be found guilty for this offence.
