    Just as I predicted

    Gricer's prediction:

    Somebody somewhere will post or tweet something offensive about NM and it will be all over the Daily Mail for days on end.

    there is surely some irony in here?

    you know someone effectively having their freedon of speech denied for making jokes about a man who campaigned for freedom of speech (and freedom in general) for a race of people.

    it is a farce he has done nothing wrong except tell a few jokes in poor taste.

    ffs

      You'd think that the plod would have better things to do.

      Like drinking tea or sommat.
      It was quite a funny joke as well. It's a good job we don't have bedwetters like that on CUK...

        These sorts of jokes should be dealt with by other people showing disgust rather than the police getting involved.

          Plebs don't drink tea, do they?

              further down it says he posted a decapitation picture, which is probably more offensive.

              They do realise Mandela wasn't actually a Deity?

                It is not for our politicians to say what we can and cannot say.

                This is an abuse of power by the politician who has used his influence with local plod to victimise this man because of a dispute over a mining memorial.

                Said politician should be removed from office for abuse of power.

                  Amen - and it's political correctness gone mad, a sadly uncommon occurence.

                  You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to original PM again.

                    Then again, the next time anyone makes a joke about Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Thatcher (*), Blair, Sun Myung Moon, etc. should also be treated in the same manner...










                    (I believe that the: 'Mandela is a grubby little terrorist' quote attributed to her is in fact an Internet rumour although she did say "The ANC is a typical terrorist organisation … Anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is living in cloud-cuckoo land.")
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
