Oh deary me. Was he still using the excuse that he did not know how to use social media, MULTIPLE TIMES.........
I think he received a very disproportionate sentence myself.... Perhaps he was being made 'an example of'....
There are people out there who have posted far far worse things on the internet that have walked from court with their liberty intact.
We live in sensitive times.

Indeed we do. Overly sensitive in many respects...
I was just reading this in the local rag -

Comparatively speaking, I think it absolutely highlights the disproportionate sentence received by the former councillor.

Implementation of "The Woke" act. I haven't seen his posts but the report mentions isis and muslims.....one is a sadistic death cult and one is a lunatic fringe cult. Nothing to do with race. They imprisoned him and yet are about to release a double child killer rapist who frankly should have been put down.
Moral of the story keep your views to yourself and be very careful who you talk with. But also be aware of the dangers living among us.
I find it disturbing living in a new form of society where we are now continuously pausing to think before we speak. We have begun censoring ourselves.
I am not advocating blurting out offensive insults at all, but what I find abhorrent is the need to hesitate over the most innocuous comment being twisted out of context and misinterpreted to suit agendas.
This could be rather more 'complex' than people presume - & may not be over. Am going to close comments in light of this.
