**Meechan said: "This is a really dangerous precedent to set - for people to say things and their context to be completely ignored and then they can be convicted for it.

"You don't get to decide the context, other people don't get to decide the context, the court decides. That's dangerous."**


So a judge decides 'context is irrelevant'.

He said so.

EDIT: Interesting development.

Then there is this

**But PC Walker said that the ‘n word’ was always offensive, whether used by white or black people. She also said that it did not matter how the word was spelt.**

Snap Dogg (who?) in his lyrics spells it ending -gga.

Also PC Walker asked the word not be said in court at all.

How then do courts deal with accounts of racial abuse?

Judge Jack McGarva then went on to say such language has no place in civil society.

Yet Kendrick Lamar has just won the Pulitzer prize for music.

Not the judge's making, but next time we hear someone blasting out 'rap' from their car windows or even 'at home' I expect the courts in turn soon to be chock a block.

Go figure any of it because I'm goosed if I can.

In pursuing this utter nonsense, the Courts have managed to double his GoFundMe target. This travesty can now be played out with Big Guns Lawyers in Big Guns Publicity, thus giving lots of attention to the attention seeking Far Right.

The Authorities must now dig up Spike Milligan and run him through the courts as he regularly took the piss out of Hitler by dressing as him and doing Nazi salutes. It wasn't like he didn't know what he was doing or what his humour was aimed at. He wore swastikas and regalia. Just like our Royals did at parties until recently. I remember 40-odd years ago, a living room with my parents and an uncle and aunt (who'd fought in Europe and the Far East or worked in dangerous munitions factories) laughing their socks off at the Milligan stuff. They knew it was funny.

I remember a lovely clip the BBC used to show of the Nazi troops marching to music. They used a primitive analogue form of looping the footage to make the Nazis appear to be marching and dancing back and forth in time to inappropriate non-Nazi Muic.

I'm glad the guy has got so much GoFundMe and I hope this gets quashed and spat out like it deserves to be. Remember Ted and Dougal's objections to the Film "The Passion of Saint Tibulus"... the attendance rates sky-rocketed. British Explosives are being used to slaughter innocents in Yemen. Right now. Take those bast*rds to Court.
