Criminal charges over words.
Meanwhile, Britain deliberately hid knowledge of a muslim sex ring targeting girls, and didn’t seem to care much when a black muzzy sliced a human’s neck.

No freedom of speech in most other countries. Prayers that our freedom of speech doesn’t completely evaporate with this Admin.

seems a bit much. I assume the offended party thinks a cash settlement may be possible from the retired athlete, but with Gascoigne’s alcoholism and drug addiction and generally horrible life choices, it’s hard to imagine he’s got much money left.

Politically correct nut cases need to be dipped in honey and tied down over ant hills.

The UK needs to do much more than to exit the EU!

This happened in Britain? Good grief. And they wonder why Brexit succeeded.

Good bye, UK.

You are too far gone now.

Insanely PC, cowering from the muzzies, completely broken human beings.

Definitely hope the US is never called to bail your asses out ever again.

You are not worth saving.

You are a disgrace to yourselves and your own heritage and history.

Shameful.

Stuff like this has got to be hurting tourism from America to Britain. I wouldn’t go there on a bet.
