First thing I would like to say I think this man is a dick however as long as he didn't physically harm the lady or make theats then he is allowed to be a dick

We do have the right to offended and people also have the right to be offended but sadly when people say they are not allowed to say what they think anymore sadly I do believe it's becoming true

Free speech is not about hearing what ps trendy , PC , kind or good it's also about hearing what bad , ugly and upsetting

I think the police should not be reacting to Twitter out rage rather complaint for the alleged party's involved and evidence

I also think sezing his passport , searching his home was way over the top when we know in actual crimes crimals don't often face this treatment

I think we really need to decided if we really want freedom of speech

I not against a Twitter back lash people have the right also to respond negatively to what his actions but I think police invloment is to far if we value freedom of speech

I hate what you say but will defend you to the death for your right to say

"We do have the right to offend."
Since when.
Anyway.......Yes I'm all for freedom of speech, absolutely. Providing in is said lawfully non offensive,
. He questioned a women Muslim. Was he not feeling brave enough to approach a man. This was only an innocent women. Most Muslims are as disgusted as we are by the atrocities the Isis are inflicting on innocent civilians.
HTF can she explain Brussels. She never planted the device.
I'm Catholic, so that's just like someone coming up to me and making me liable for the IRA. I was as sicked disgusted, and devestating as most Catholics were.

We do have the right to offend though, within the law.

I personally am happy for the freedom of speech not to include the right to harass and intimidate individuals in the street on the basis of their membership to a certain sexual/racial/religious etc group.
