UK Not Quite a Police State…Yet! No Charges Over Salmond Effigy…

CREATING an effigy of Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond to be burned at the stake at a bonfire night in East Sussex was ‘not a crime’, the Crown Prosecution Service has ruled.

For pity’s sakes, whatever happened to the British sense of humour?

It seems the Sussex cops got a flood of complaints of ‘racism’ about the Guy Fawkes Night plan.

Scots are NOT a race. But what I find rather quaint is the way The Scotsman newspaper talks about a public outcry!

Really? A few hundred uptight separatists? Hardly a public outcry, surely? But shame on the organisers too, because they backed down in the face of the cry-babies’ caterwauling…or did they??

…but a second effigy was later blown up!   http://www.scotsman.com/news/uk/alex-salmond-effigy-not-a-crime-says-cps-1-3603616

The police sensibly noted that “The event organisers have made it clear that there was no intention to cause insult to anyone or any particular country by the choice of effigy – simply that the person chosen has been a popular media figure in the preceding 12 months.”

Hell, since when is it a crime to insult persons?

Countries? Have they never been to an International, or even a Home International? They might have heard THOUSANDS of fans insulting countries. Since when would that uproarious fun be a crime?

•  Ooops!
• Since the ‘politically correct’ mafia took over the UK. Those swine have wrought havoc against civil liberties.

It was SO sad to see that Brit senior citizen arrested at Stansted Airport security, not for carrying explosives but because, when asked to take off his shoes, he joked that he wasn’t a Muslim!  

The 74-year-old was charged with causing racially aggravated harassment . no doubt because the security guard at the airport was some sectarian tantrum-prone toe-rag – HE’S the one who should have been charged -wih wasting police time!

OAP passenger arrested by armed cops after joking: ‘I’m not …http://www.mirror.co.uk/ (the charges were dropped -after a GENUINE public outcry!).

Causing hurt feelings a criminal offence? In a land where free speech was once a hallowed principle? May God forgive the gutless, gormless fools who let this come to pass. 

Salmond himself, to his credit, remained relaxed, possibly quite chuffed. Infuriating one’s opponents is a mark of one’s success, it may be argued.

We have no Guy Fawkes celebrations here in Jakarta, of course, but if there were, it’s perfectly possible some of the left-lib expat hangers-on would place my effigy on their pyre. I was quite exhilirated when one pinko numb-skull urged me to die some months ago ( unwilling to put his name to the death-exhortation, of course!)

Anyway, previous Sussex bonfire stars have apparently included David Cameron, Nick Clegg,  Angela Merkel and Osama Bin Laden. I’ve no time for Salmond or his secessionist party, but he’s less deserving of roasting than most of them!
