words that have a financial or reputational harm

2018-05-29 13:47:22 UTC  

insulting someone is fair game

2018-05-29 13:47:38 UTC  

and always should be, just walk away and ignore

2018-05-29 13:48:57 UTC  

So, the media is allowed to report on TR arrest now I guess

2018-05-29 13:49:25 UTC  

and they're saying that 1) he pled guilty and 2) he expressed regrets

2018-05-29 13:49:55 UTC  

this is giving rise to people saying he should be there and he committed a crime and the FreeTommy movement should stop now

2018-05-29 13:50:23 UTC  

but you know fuck free speech right?

2018-05-29 13:50:40 UTC  

free speech doesn't exist outside America

2018-05-29 13:50:51 UTC  

only "Speech we agree with"

2018-05-29 13:50:59 UTC  

right

2018-05-29 13:51:28 UTC  

"They wouldn't be given a free trial" .. wait weren't these people in sentencing anyway?

2018-05-29 13:52:03 UTC  

funny fact

the dutch actually have a freedom of speech law,

But its 7th, whilst the freedom of religion is 1st

Hence its a higher priority to openly do your religion than it is to say what you want

2018-05-29 13:52:40 UTC  

but what if your religion is the "religion of free speech"?

2018-05-29 13:52:59 UTC  

it must be a recognised religion

2018-05-29 13:53:03 UTC  

so even a Jedi doesn't count

2018-05-29 13:53:59 UTC  

so now you have a government validating what someone believes is either recognized or not

2018-05-29 13:54:05 UTC  

Also, our freedom of speech law has conditions,

The state may take your right away if it damages reputation, or harms security

2018-05-29 13:54:18 UTC  

yeah we don't have that

2018-05-29 13:54:23 UTC  

never can be taken away

2018-05-29 13:54:32 UTC  

hence, Tommy would be arrested in Netherlands too, on the grounds his livestream would reflect poorly on Muslims

2018-05-29 13:54:36 UTC  

"shall not be infringed" even though we do have slander/libel laws

2018-05-29 13:54:46 UTC  

yeah so that's not what you call "free speech" 😄

2018-05-29 13:54:56 UTC  

exactly

2018-05-29 13:55:08 UTC  

like i said, its "Freedom of things we agree with"

2018-05-29 13:55:51 UTC  

our version doesn't even protect discrimination

If you're being a racist you're not protected

2018-05-29 13:56:09 UTC  

"Yes also all those shouting #freetommy He pleaded GUILTY to contempt of court and breach of suspended sentence. His lawyer said he expressed deep regret ."

2018-05-29 13:57:18 UTC  

Well no one is denying that i think

He had an earlier sentence but got released earlier, and then did this

But this is obviously just a silencing ploy

2018-05-29 13:57:45 UTC  

1 day conviction, no trial, and british media gets a gag order

2018-05-29 13:58:09 UTC  

well its not actually correct

2018-05-29 13:58:17 UTC  

he didn't plead guilty to CoC

2018-05-29 13:58:21 UTC  

but breaching the peace

2018-05-29 13:58:25 UTC  

which is a new charge

2018-05-29 13:58:35 UTC  

technically should have been a new trial/crime/whatever

2018-05-29 14:00:31 UTC  

well, Britain doesn't share your 5th amendment either

2018-05-29 14:00:55 UTC  

@LotheronPrime slander/libel don‘t specifically target gender and are actually a thing.

2018-05-29 14:01:39 UTC  

that's my point

2018-05-29 14:01:51 UTC  

we already have broader laws on the books, why must they be specialized?

2018-05-29 14:02:29 UTC  

I mean I get the precedent with having hate crime sentencing

2018-05-29 14:04:19 UTC  

dont necessarily agree with it though

2018-05-29 14:06:09 UTC  

The media black out on Tommy Robinson has been lifted. He revived 13 months for attempting to film defendants outside a courthouse. Apparently this is illegal, and it was also clearly posted. Tommy pled guilty and expressed regret.
