It's a matter of perspective. I've had a crowd of strangers shouting abuse at me on the street, and been very intimidated and afraid. I know of others who have been assaulted by thugs using the same terms. If someone then uses some of those words in a tweet or whatever you better believe I find it offensive.

Yes, it is a matter of perspective. Theres a world of difference between someone tweeting rubbish and being verbally assaulted on the street.

Nah! One (or more) of The Bee Gees had the ball attracting property on the left of the 17th of The West Course - just past the road. Several of their songs were written/composed in it and Thomas Bjorn had a bit of an adventure in the trees adjacent to it during a PGA that he was near the top of the leaderboard at the time!

And you definitely don't want to be in the only bunker on that hole!! :whistle:

Noticed the other day that the house had sadly been flattened to make way for another Russian monstrosity......

Yes. I'd heard that was happening. Shame, as I think that was one of the really elegant ones! Being developed by the same guy that has been working his way up the 15th! Pays for the petrol in his hugely pretentious huge Bentley!
 
The lady is blooming loco and shouldn't be on TV! She does say some really funny things in amongst the ludicrous though. Had a read of her most controversial tweets and I chuckled at a few.

Referring to people by a National nick name is hardly racist. Tommy, Taff, Paddy, Jock, Yank, Kiwi etc is not racist. If someone said All Taffies are thefts or Paddies are thick then this would be racist as it infers the race is somehow inferior.

As I said earlier, people tend to feel insulted far to easily these days which restricts freedom of speech.

So all Jocks are sweaty then and that's OK:o

I have never heard of the woman but I do know that she must be a dimwit.
I blame the education process in the country that she resides in.

H'mm!
This case was much more than someone using the word 'Jock' wasn't it?

The word 'Jock' was certainly the (only) reason it was deemed 'Racially Aggravated Criminal Damage' rather than simply 'Criminal Damage' - with a consequent increase in the sentence/punishment.
