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?).

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.

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

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

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

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.

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."

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?

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???

I’m not sure that we’re much behind here (Canada), but it really seems like they’ve gone completely off the rails in the UK. Sex offenders are released with a warning, thieves and robbers of all sorts get off with little more than a slap on the wrist (I remember watching one of those “Police Chase” videos done mostly in England, where they mentioned when the penalties were for the offenders they caught - pitiful), and yet they can send 4 (Four!) Bobbies to bust a kid’s balls for calling a schoolmate “gay”. Something seriously out of whack in that country.

Then again, the Brits always do have to let things go too far before reacting in the other direction. Look how far trade unionism got out of hand in the UK before Margaret Thatcher came along to give them a well-deserved boot to the arse.

Sadly, as I said at the beginning, while it’s not quite that bad here in Canada yet (yes, we do have hate speech laws, and yes they do protect homosexuals, but they’re not as zealously enforced, yet), I worry that we’re heading the same way, and the US is probably not far behind. Unlike many on this forum, I don’t really have a real issue with gays, for the most part - it’s the incursions against freedom of speech that bother me. Freedom of speech is a concept that used to enjoy strong support in most of the English-speaking world, but incrementally it is being eroded. The Gaystapo won’t be happy until everyone effusively agrees that homosexuality is an unmitigated good, and likely superior to heterosexuality.

After reading this article, I’ll presume that the British definition of “tackle” is different from the Yankee definition.

Democrat Iowa Governor Chet Culver signed into law the anti-bullying bill sent to his desk by the Democrat state House and Senate which was written and financed by the national homosexual activists.

The world has truly gone mad and been turned completely upside down.

England and the UK are finished. Probably along with most of the rest of Europe.

America will be finished also if Pelosi, Chompsky, Hellary, Sean Penn and their ilk, et al have their say and way.

God help us all.

The muzzies must be laughing and rejoicing.

So let the queer kid call him “fat boy” and it’ll be even!

This coming from a country who can’t even be bothered to defend itself. Britain disgusts me now.
