Are you suggesting that politicians using mainstream media- or at least, presumably, the politicians you don't like- is the same as some yob trying to organise a riot via Facebook?

Whilst I do not presume to speak for TS, his question does not strike me this way, sounding as it does far more like an illustration of two wrongs not making a right...

That said, what might your view be of those who might try to organise a lawful and peaceful protest using social media?

String em up I say
nothing to hide , nothing to fear

I think in Peelend , not only can you read the posts of those you are ignoring but you know that ALL protest should be squashed in the name of freedom !

I think someone getting a bit pissed and writing "burn down the disco" (see what I did ? ;-) ) on Facebook is far less dangerous than Boris and his "amiable buffoon" character that he likes to play.

No problem with that at all. But GG referred specifically to organising a riot.

HOW does he do that ?

"Organising" ???
How does one "organise" a riot ?
Posting "burn down the disco" on Facebook in some worlds could be a criminal offence
for others it's a reference to Last Night of The Proms

Crikey.

Do you have any understanding of how to draw inferences from what people write?

Boris talks dangerous provocative nonsense, and enjoys the fat of the land .

Some ill educated poor teenager with not much to lose posts something in a rather stupid way, and gets hung out to dry .

If you hadn't noticed, its one rule for some, another rule for others.
Doesn't mean we don't need some rules, as AH rightly points out.

Edit: and asking a few questions of the mainstream media, who owns them, what thry decide to print, is a good idea too.

I know Joe Jackson said " They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true". But I think there was some irony/satire in there.

No problem with that at all.

Thank you. You answered my question.

But GG referred specifically to organising a riot.

I am of course aware of that and my question to you was perhaps something of a side issue but one of interest nevertheless; that said, might not the notion of "organising a riot" (not your phrase, I know) strike you as something of a contradiction in terms? Is not the very word "riot" suggestive of something disorganised?...

Stephanie Harrison Q.C is brilliant - she will take this to the highest court she can if necessary- this is a petty,political and frankly absurd decision- the not conducive to the public good test was never meant for this minor albeit annoying offending .

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

this could be excellent news

[Beef Oven!]

Not kept up with the story. Depressing news. We've got enough twats in the country already, missed a good chance of getting rid of one!

And as for playing the race card!!?

And as for you, twerp-boy, you'd be at the front of the line on those criteria.

Crickey, it's a double act!
