...a man who wore a tasteless shirt in poor taste regarding the tragedy at Hillsborough and caused someone offence is arrested for a criminal offence. He could face jail for this and he'll probably have to be kept out of the public eye as he has had his personal identity and details leaked on social media (not by the Police) with people threatening his safety.

The absolute state of the replies with virtually everyone dogpiling on anyone who dares raise the spectre of his free speech rights, even if it makes him look an absolute fool and moron. Maybe justification for Wembley stadium, a private establishment, to refuse him entry, but not for the reaction that we've seen.

This is the Grenfell Tower bonfire joke all over again. Yes, a tasteless joke and in poor taste but they should be allowed to make that joke in the same way that someone wears a football shirt that shows everyone exactly who he is. It also has connotations with Count Dankula's Pug video.

It seems that the Home Secretary may be in line with what people here desire but not what the public desires. The public wants free speech abolished for absolute safety from being offended.
