Apparently, freedom of speech is a joke.

Re: The New Joke Thread

A man walks in a bar and orders a beer to drink...

Everyone looked at him like he was crazy for talking to an inanimate object.

It’s GB. They don’t have freedom of speech as we know it in the US.

Re: The New Joke Thread

I doubt we’ve seen the complete story, in context, and fully nuanced.
Kate Scottow used two Twitter accounts, under different names, to unleash a 'targeted campaign of harassment' against Stephanie Hayden, a court said.
Aside from referring to Miss Hayden as a male, Scottow also called her “racist, xenophobic and a crook” while also branding her a “fake lawyer.”
Deputy Judge Jason Coppel QC issued the interim injunction banning her from posting personal information about the activist and lawyer.
Hayden posted a statement on Twitter on February 12, claiming that the police arrest, in fact, stems from Scottow allegedly sharing “confidential details of my personal medical and financial information” on social media.
The news reports do not include claims that Scottow leaked private information about Hayden, giving the impression the woman was arrested merely for misgendering Hayden.

I don’t know if all the above words are yours, Gord, but I laugh at, (this being the funny thread,) the use of the word “branded.” “Unleash” is also pretty humorous.

I look for semi-vitriolic language in reporting.

As soon as someone says, “Trump Regime,” or “Obama Regime,” you can have an idea where they’re coming from.

I’m sure her lawyer will maintain she didn’t brand anybody nor unleash anything.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Daily Mail is a joke, basically a trash tabloid mouthpiece of the Tories.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Geez.

There's this prominent American guy who tweets all of the time and some people are always calling him a "racist, xenophobe and a crook."

Too bad he can't get anyone to arrest these people who are cyber bullying him. Hell, even his own wife speaks out against cyber bullying, but it does him no good. Hmmm... maybe if he was gender fluid...

If he were gender fluid he could be the first woman president.

Am I the only one who initially thought he was looking at baby dinosaurs?
