    The part that I find worrying is this which was on the met police website until earlier
    If someone does something that isn’t a criminal offence but the victim, or anyone else, believes it was motivated by prejudice or hate, we would class this as a ‘hate incident’. Though what the perpetrator has done may not be against the law, their reasons for doing it are. This means it may be possible to charge them with an offence

    Sounds like a thought crime tbh! How could someone prove that their reasons for saying something which is not even considered a hate crime or offensive speech weren't really motivated by hate? And how could anyone possibly claim to know what someones motivations are?

    F*cling joke, but Britain has been going to the dogs for years. Free speech, online privacy, Internet freedom all went out the window around 2010 and have been getting steadily worse each year since then.

    I always appreciate good witty humour and that is by far one of the best examples I've seen.

    We had a German Shepherd and my dad named him Rommel. Didn't do the Nazi salute, though he cocked his leg on the regular. I knew a lad who had another German Shepherd that was called Adolph.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'd be willing to wager all that I have that it would in fact be as tolerated as calling Caitlin Jenner... Well you can use your own imagination there :pac:

    Interesting I saw an article posted on the BBC Twitter that highlights how the Nazi's took a dim view to a Finnish dog that was trained to give a Nazi Salute

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-12139150
    A Finnish dog which gave Nazi salutes so annoyed Germany's World War II government that it launched a campaign against its owner.

    Tor Borg's wife had reportedly given Jackie the nickname Hitler - saying the dog's strange way of raising its paw and barking reminded her of the Fuhrer.

    In one exchange, dated 29 January 1941, German Vice Consul Willy Erkelenz in Helsinki wrote that "a witness, who does not want to be named, said he saw and heard how Borg's dog reacted to the command 'Hitler' by raising its paw".

    Mr Borg was called into the German embassy for questioning, where he admitted that his wife Josephine - a known anti-Nazi German - had called the dog Hitler, but denied being involved in anything "that could be seen as an insult against the German Reich".

    The embassy, however, thought otherwise, telling officials in Berlin: "Borg, even though he claims otherwise, is not telling the truth."

    The Foreign Office spent three months investigating ways of bringing Mr Borg to trial for insulting Hitler, but no witnesses would come forward, the newspaper reports.
