Police in south Wales have warned people who have mocked the hairstyle of a wanted drug dealer that they could find themselves facing prosecution. A mugshot of Jermaine Taylor, 21, from Newport, was published by police on Facebook after he breached his licence conditions. It prompted hundreds of jokes, puns and memes among the nearly 90,000 comments left on the Gwent Police Facebook post. Police later said offensive comments could leave people facing action. People can be prosecuted for posting offensive messages online. One contributor joked that police should look in Edinburgh, which hosts the fringe festival, while another said officers were "combing the area". www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-49318050

That's insanity to even potentially prosecute someone for comments like that as it's obvious censoring basic speech here.
so unless it's some serious threat, people should be able to say just about anything they want without worry of being prosecuted.

Just when you think the UK can't get any more pathetic they lower the bar further into wimp city. Sharia law will be enforced in the UK soon anyway and drug dealers will be decapitated and Facebook will be banned. The problems with meanies hurting criminals feelings will be solved.

Thank you for adding more humour to this thread.
