Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 4/3/07 | LIZ HULL

[Abathar]

Geez, poor Ann Coulter would never see the light of day again over there....

[T.Smith]

Young George appears to have been projecting. He sort of reminds me of the picked on boy in Lord of the Flies (Simon, was it?).

[Long Island Pete]

At least he didnt say faggot. Excuse me, there’s a knock at my door.

[Quick or Dead]

Under the new rules of IngSoc/Sharia this boy will have to be sent to the Ministry of Love for reeducation.

England is so far gone that George Orwell is doing a gold medal gymnastics routine in his grave.

[Rutles4Ever]

Good thing the other boy wasn’t Muslim or else they’d ahve to refer to Sharia.

[al baby]

Now if only they had the alls to get the 15 sailors back

[pabianice]

And we wonder why the Brits haven’t done anything about Iran’s kidnapping their servicemen...

[Sig Sauer P220]

If it took 4 officers, they must have been gay too.

[Mr. Mojo]

As bad/prevalent as political correctness is here in the U.S. the Brits have us beat by a country mile.

[Condor 63]

The incident followed that of a 15-year-old boy from Burnley, Lancashire, who was arrested, thrown in a police cell, hauled before the courts and landed with a criminal record simply for throwing a snowball at a car.

Gee whiz...

That be the case, Condor 63 is officially a super criminal.

I always knew I had it in me.

When I first saw this headline I thought it was scrappleface. Figured it had to be a parody; but this is real! This is where the PC brigade are leading us: certain speech will lead to prison.

How are these laws different from the alien and sedition acts? Would this be constitutional here? With the wrong judges on the Court they would be.

[Bonaparte]

Hehe, I can see this boy growing up to be a fine, upstanding soccer rioter -- those guys are the only hope England has.

Gotta love the way the writer refers to "Asians," another ubiquitous PC euphemism for "muslims."

[sageb1]

So is the schoolmate gay?

[eyedigress]

Word on the street is he is very happy.

[sageb1]

“Word on the street is he is very happy.”

Case closed. ;)

[P-40]

it was a homophobic crime.

Would it be a 'homophobic' crime if the boy did not have a fear of gays but just plain old did not like them?

[Mr. Keys]

Britain becomes more pathetic every day. They must be competing with france.

[TheBattman]

It is easy to make jokes about this - but it IS on its way over to this side of the Big Pond... The homosexual agenda is to shove their lifestyle down our throats even if it kills us.

So - how many 11 year old boys have been tackled for calling someone ugly or fat? Isn’t that hateful as well? It’s different? Really???

Gotta love the way the writer refers to "Asians," another ubiquitous PC euphemism for "muslims."

Not necessarily. The Indians there are also "Asian" in the British sense.
