    Fire crew fined for 'gay slur'

    "They have been treated as the criminals in this case and it has been completely forgotten that they may have witnessed a criminal activity occurring in a public place."

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    Avon Fire and Rescue Service is now considering paying the fines to an overseas gay-rights charity, Jamaican Forum for Lesbians All-Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG).

    So distributing semen in a park is OK but...

    and he didn't even do it.



    How would you explain this to a child?

    Well johnny, it's a mans right to expose himself infront of other men in a public place, however it is morally corrupt not to say disgusting and perverted scum who throw ciggies out of a car windows

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      He says that he didn't do it - that's not necessarily the same thing!

      It does seem in this case that there is no evidence, so he should get off, but just because he says he didn't do it, don't make it fact.

      I seem to recall a group of Irishmen in Birmingham saying that they didn't bomb anywhere, but see what happened there.

        Yes, a jury found them not guilty. And your point is?

          Sorry yes I forgot it's Guilty without the right to prove innocence these days isn't it?

          How silly of me

            Unbelievable.



            This kind of nonsense discredits the good work that anti-hate crime teams do every day. Not all LGBT/race relations/disability rights etc organisations are like this.
