UK police arrest man over Twitter insult





LONDON (AP) -- Police say a man has been arrested in connection to Twitter postings directed at British Olympic diver Tom Daley.

Daley's father died of brain cancer a year ago and the 18-year-old Olympian had hoped win a medal "for myself and my dad." But he finished fourth on Monday in the 10-meter synchronized platform with teammate Pete Waterfield.

Afterward, a Twitter user sent him several negative messages, including: "You let your dad down i hope you know that."

Dorset Police said early Tuesday that a 17-year-old man was arrested at a guest house in Weymouth "on suspicion of malicious communications" in relation to Twitter threats made against Daley.

In Britain, tweeting messages considered menacing can lead to prosecution.

Oxford University Degenerates Into Transsexual Farce


Even as Western Civilization collapses into moral decay and socialist insolvency, progressives continue to push boldly forward toward utopia. The latest milestone in the path of progress:


Oxford University has rewritten the laws governing its strict academic dress code following concerns that they were unfair towards transgender students.

Under the new regulations, students taking exams or attending formal occasions will no longer have to wear ceremonial clothing that is specific to their gender.

It will mean men will be able to sit tests in skirts and stockings and women will have the option of wearing suits and bow ties.

In all seriousness, this story is on the level. The objective on the part of educrats is to pander to Oxford’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer Society.

Liberals are good at something besides choking the economy to death after all: self-parody

“Abuse”? “Malicious communications”?

Let us get the usual caveats out of the way: Yes, this was an insensitive and mean-spirited thing for the 17-year-old to say to someone who had lost his father and who had just suffered the heartbreak of losing an event at the Olympics for which he had so painstakingly prepared. No, that it was a mean thing to say isn’t remotely relevant to the case, because free speech is free speech. And, no, the fact that the author subsequently apologized has no bearing on the case whatsoever — his apology was a (welcome) private matter, and had he wished to stand by his initial comments that would have been his right.

Nor does this make any difference:


A spokesman was unable to confirm whether the arrest was specifically over the tweets to Daley or subsequent Twitter conversations with other users.

Precisely why should that matter? This is not a “nuanced” case. It is not “difficult” or “tricky” or “thorny” or “complicated” or any of those words that the chin-stroking members of the British chattering classes like to use in faux-thoughtful overtures on BBC Radio 4, just before oh-so-predictably arguing for a government-imposed British speech code that happens exactly to proscribe what they personally find “offensive.” This is miles and miles and miles from the border of controversy: It is a slam-dunk violation of the unalienable speech rights of a free citizen of a putatively free country, even — no, especially — a free citizen who might well just be a nasty piece of work and might say things that a majority finds reprehensible.

Britain is now a country in which you can be arrested for writing racist tweets, for criticizing your local government on the Internet, for telling a policeman that his horse is “gay,” for shouting offensive things on a bus, for issuing leaflets condemning homosexuality, for evangelizing for Christianity on the street, for issuing leaflets evangelizing for atheism in an airport, and so on and so forth. And the press, as ever, is silent.

The laws that enable the police force to arrest and prosecute those who write mean-spirited, racist, or ugly things should be immediately repealed and the signed bills publicly burned at a ceremony expressly dedicated to restoring awareness of principles that Britain spread throughout the world but seems now incapable of defending at home. And rather than maintaining their silence, British conservatives and libertarians should be leading the charge; for they should realize that, without restoring this foundational liberty to its rightful place on the escutcheon, the others that have been progressively undermined alongside it are likely to remain cowering in the shadows of exile for a long time to come. Surely Timothy Garton-Ash and I cannot be the only two Brits to hold this view?

UPDATE: Some outlets, but not the BBC, are reporting that the tweeter threatened to “drown” Tom Daley. This naturally changes the issue, although I’m by no means convinced that a silly 17-year-old boy writing that he’ll drown a sports star who has just failed to win a medal is sufficient warrant for a police investigation.

I heard about this as I live in England. I think it's disgusting however I do agree, this kid is 17, he wrote some angry words and apologized deeply. Elsewhere in town, people are getting stabbed..

Our law system is fucked, our country is an embarrassment.

I mean in the middle of the London riots, one kido stole a kilo of value rice and took a picture of himself imposing a gun pointing at the bag of rice.. that just sums it up.

 

[britishbody]

STFU, BUSYBATTY! Your "people" cum here and say that our SECURITY is bad?

You know what?



They are RIGHT!
