(a) anything that we post on the internet, be it a tweet, a blogpost, or a comment to a blogpost, opens us to criminal prosecution if there is someone out there who feels threatened by it, even if you didn't mean them to be feel threatened - or even to read it. Take care, people.
(b) I told you something like this would happen. Now you all officially have something to fear, even if you have nothing to hide.
I shall leave the causal analysis to Al-Jahom, who sums it up perfectly:
So, if you support Paul Chambers and share my horror and disgust at his plight, but you voted Labour last week, you really need to stand back and re-evaluate what it was you voted for.
- Bad law, drafted and passed into law by the Labour government.
- Target driven pursuit of prosecutions, under whatever laws may apply, bad or not.
