woolley Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I see this chap has been brought low by making a silly joke online about taking out the Brexit Remain dame. Peer of the Realm too, no less. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/aristocrat-jailed-for-offering-money-on-facebook-for-someone-to-kill-brexit-campaigner-gina-miller/ar-BBEnCLY It's all becoming a bit stupid isn't it? I mean, he wasn't really inciting anyone to commit murder in full view of the media. If he was serious he would be putting out a contract behind closed doors not doing it to millions. There but for the grace of God go many. It's a good thing for our Stu that he was either too skint or too tight to offer a cash inducement!

woody2 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 he should of got legal advice, rather than defend himself, facebook refused to handover the data, so why did he admit anything? screen prints can be faked also when they reported this on the bbc, one of the terms used by this guy, was used on the very next story (navy in the med.) so is it racist or not.........

It's not about how stupid he is. It's all about the effect it has on the victim. And quite rightly IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llap Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It's uncanny how similar the middle of his face looks to Nigel Farage. It's as if someone has taken Farage's head on photoshop and pushed up the chin, lengthened the nose and added a girly haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesultanofsheight Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 All he needed to do was to put a smiley at the end of it. He's obviously spent too much time being educated at Eton or wherever rather than learning text speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llap Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Pretty amazing to only get the length of sentence he got really. I guess being an "aristocrat" does pay. I am sure if some everyday peasant had said it, he'd have been banged up for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Should have been years, not weeks. Another "aristocrat" who thinks the law doesn't apply to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(can't remember the name of the place but its more of a members club house than a prison) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 If you're going to do it, you're going to do it. If you're not, you're not. Some tit on the internet saying "go kill her" is not going to make the decision for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Yes, but I don't agree that this reaches the threshold of prosecution for incitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the murder of Jo Cox, the acid attacker, the rise of post Brexit xenophobia and racism, I would say that the potential for someone being incited to carryout his "bounty" is reasonably high.
