    I have no problem with stories from abroad. I quite enjoy watching the same people, every day, getting themselves worked up over trivial issues that have no impact on Irish society.

    Trivial issues yet you yourself couldn't resist correcting a missing ''u'' as a result of an autocorrect typo. Pathetic, just like your usual deflection. Anything to say on the actual matter, no? Anyway, I remember you were prevalent enough in a thread about Katie Hopkins being detained in South Africa which is anything but trivial and definitely relevant to Ireland.

    This only serves to make me hate people of a certain colour and ethnic origin even more and that I am heartily glad I don't live in England.

    What unit was the cop in? PREVENTION of hatred ??????

    Why do you hate them to start with?

    Why is it relevant to Ireland?

    Calm down there Chip. Stop being so easily offended.

    It’s not, I was being facetious towards dav3. They said they don’t care about any trivial stuff from outside Ireland yet he/she was involved in a thread about Katie Hopkins being detained in Sith Iffika.

    I hate people of every colour who play the race card to gain an advantage over unprotected people in the workforce. I hate people who report other people and ruin their lives over a bitter agenda inspired by hate.

    I hate people who accuse me of having white privilege when being a white Irish working class person from a struggling background I never had that privilege.

    I hate that upper class toffs can afford to get away with anything while working class white people are left unprotected in the firing line for every other so called subject race to vent their hatred and anger on. The elite will have the luxury of keeping a safe distance from and private security to protect themselves from the onslaught of hate filled violence that will inevitably happen when you try to force multiculturalism too quickly on a host population without the necessary resources to support it.

    This "very brave" cop went for a sub educated teenager, probably from a deprived and certainly ill advised background and robbed her of her future prospects of a decent job not to mention the £500 fine and a criminal conviction that will follow her for the rest of her life. I bet this wouldn't happen to a well connected upper middle class teenager with access to decent legal advice and support and family and parents to defend her. Knowing about people to whom it happened a criminal record makes emigration and access to certain jobs next to impossible.

    You can beat a dog and make it fear you but it will never love you. All that this action will do will add to the fires of race hatred which surely must be burning in this teenager now. I remind you that the cop works in a hatred prevention department, a job title as Orwellian and bizarre as it comes. Her actions have stoked the fires of race hatred not quelled them.

    You are actually incapable of making a point relevant to a topic aren't you?

    Sure.

    What's your point?

    My point is you saw fit to immerse yourself in a thread about Katie Hopkins being detained in South Africa yet you are here complaining about people going on about so-called trivial matters from other countries. It's hypocritical. That's my point.

    Duly noted. That's not much of a point tbf.

    Have you read the OP? Whatever about them being bullsh*tters and not Irish. Do you ever get the feeling they sometimes forget what country's forum they're posting on?

    Another point I would like to make, is that I find it rather odd the lack of coverage this story got. Only a few weeks ago we had people literally foaming at the mouth outside a Scottish courthouse, crying crocodile tears for a convicted lowlife scumbag, screaming about free speech.

    I guess it's free speech for some and not for others. This girl obviously doesn't have much of a far-right following and unfortunately she'll be quickly forgotten.

    The other point I made earlier about what are Irish people supposed to do about UK laws still stands. We can't change it.

    So do you believe it's only the far right standing up for free speech?

    The reality is that the rap singer and writer is backed by a huge corporation who would take any case all the way to the top court with a battalion of lawyers and legal experts and probably take the cop to the cleaners in costs and libel claims.

    The hapless teenager probably hasn't a bean and could probably not afford a decent legal defence to wipe out this ludicrous case.

    The best justice that money can buy is from politicians, not lawyers. If you are in the record industry, you can employ lobbyists make fairly sure that politicians don't pass ill-conceived laws that adversely affect you, in the first place.

    Snoop Dogg committed no crime here and the record companies committed no crime here and that all makes sense. If anything, it creates publicity for Snoop Dogg.

    What does not make sense is that this law exists in the first place, where somebody commits a crime for posting something offensive or obscene. Being offensive on its own should not be illegal. Obscenity on its own should not be illegal. Just being an arseh0le should not be illegal. Just being a muppet should not be illegal.

    When lawmakers start telling people that something which is okay for broadcast but if you post the same clip online, it's offensive and obscene and you're a criminal, it's time to ask why the hell is that.
