...But officer! All I did was tell him to F-Off!

Biggins

Read in the Times today that a young lad told French Pres' Sarkosy to "f**k off" when the man appeared in his neighbourhood.
For telling Sarkosy where to go he got 30 hours community sentencing.

My question for the forum, if a person - not necessarily a politician - appears on your doorstep or near by and you tell them to F-Off, should you be hauled into in court just for that?

I tad extreme I feel - maybe a bit like the language used but still a tad extreme.

Side note: By the way the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, does not like being made fun of. The latest victim of his litigious streak is a satirical newspaper that published a montage of him performing a bestial act on a goat. Copies of Le Monte, a parody of the newspaper Le Monde, will be withdrawn from sale after a judge called the quirky image “an attack on a person’s dignity”. :pac:

You gotta laugh!

yeah its extreme, politicians aren't kings/queens, they are elected to serve the people, although thats not how it really works. Hes not really cut out to be a leader of a country if his feelings are hurt that easily in such a trivial situation, its telling and it shows him up to be a weakling.

Cheap Thrills!

Non! C'est une fcukin outrage!! :mad:

If a politician appears on my doorstep and I happen to empty my 'chamber pot' all over him/her then that's nothing more than pure co-incidence! :cool:

Damn! I'm gonna have to think of something else! :P

BTW, if telling unwelcome lying b**tards that show up on your doorstep looking for a vote to "f off" is a crime, I can expect to be jailed sometime in the next 24 months......just hope the sentences run concurrently!

I told some local county council nob to F off after he told me that my mum wasn't allowed to vote on the Lisbon treaty because she was from Belgium.

Usually tell the ones who come to my door telling me to vote for them to F off aswell,you've never done anything for us and untill you do you're not getting our votes you nob.
They usually just leave and come back the next day shoving flyers in the letter box.

It wouldn't happen here because the politicians never listen to voters anyway.

That's because they think Trivial Pursuit is a chasing game, and they always surrender before it ends

Here's a good example of touchiness, where the cops shot and killed some guy after a casino robbery. I bet Sarkozy won't be knocking on these residents' doors, as he'd be getting more than a "fuck off".

Riots flare over death in Grenoble

Rioters in the French city of Grenoble shot at police and torched cars overnight as the authorities struggled to restore order after two days of violence.
The riot on the outskirts of the Alpine city echoed civil unrest that exploded in France in 2005, mainly in the rough suburbs that ring many of the country's big cities.
In Grenoble, the violence flared on Friday after a local resident suspected of robbing a casino was killed in an exchange of fire with police in nearby Uriage-les-Bains.
Yesterday, hundreds of police and elite national troops patrolled the streets as unrest continued overnight.
About 16 cars were burned and in one incident, rioters shot at a police car from a building, said Brigitte Julien, a police official.
"We will not allow delinquents to rule here," said Julien. "If needed we will stay in the streets every day and every night... we must stop these attacks."

of course not - its when you have finished beating the sh1te out of them and then throw them into a van and drive them into the country side that you cross the line...

When you then dunk them in and out of lakes (tied up and blindfolded) that most people would be glad you did it than them but you would surely be at the end of criminal proceedings (unless of course you dunked them in and then left them there and or then brought them to a nearby pig farm)

Sure, if you tell a DeVore to **** off, you might get punishment that lasts quite a bit longer than 30 hours...

Thats a code of conduct issue on a private website.

I can't be bothered translating "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go" into French, but this is the marching song of his elite bodyguards. all 7 of them.

Well in all fairness it was the country's president so you can understand on some level.

But 30 hours still is a bit harsh.

So it's ok to tell the common man to f*ck off but not the president?

As its probably in their law somewhere being a kind of treason.

And in my personal opinion if a person is the head of the country then ya I do think so as there needs to be some respect enforced for a nations leader.

By all means protests,Articles and Political cartoons aside but if a person cannot state their distain to the man in a civil tongue then you cna already tell what kind of person they are.In general assumption is like those who say **** the Gardai.I'm all for political critisicm,It defines and fixes governments but to do so like that and get away would make this position seem weaker than it is.If you curse at some one in shop your kicked out,If you hurl abuse at a guard you get warned and so fort.

Not trying to make an argument but just saying thats how I feel on it.
