This article is from November 17th, so a couple days old, but I found it worthwhile.
While I don’t feel like he should have been criminally charged, I don’t feel bad for him it’s a dickhead thing to do and I don’t even know how you could make a funny joke from that
“alcohol contributed to the offence, which was “out of character”.”
What a fucking moron.
Basically torn his own world apart for literally no reason at all.
For anyone who can’t click on the link, in doing this utterly fucking stupid thing, he has:
-
Been given a 5-year stadium ban.
-
Had to pay a £154 victim surcharge.
-
Had to pay £85 in prosecution costs.
-
12-week suspended prison sentence (suspended for up to 18 months).
-
Ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work.
What a fucking moron.
It even says in the article that he’s had to move out of his parents’ home because of the backlash his actions caused, and apparently his relationship with his partner has been affected too.
Can’t believe someone would willingly do something like that anyway, such a stupid and unkind thing to do, and that’s even before you get to how fucking stupid it is to do these days anyway, especially when we live in a world where everything is recorded.
That’s not even the start of the repercussions. Finding work before the conviction is spent, price and availability of things like car insurance. Security clearances. Travel.

This just has the potential to create a horrendous slippery slope
While obviously these men are vile cunts, these harsh crack downs on free speech are becoming an alarming trend the last few years
