Well it's true and it's going ahead. UKBA are going to prosecute George because he called one of their officers 'sort of Italian'. Here is the offending post His house got raided all because of this and they had away his computers.
George is to be charged with "Racial Breach of the Peace". Yeah, l know l thought WTF too? It turns out it's a charge specifically for Scotland. (I've read the actual letters from the Scottish version of the CPS to George and the charge is genuine).
More on the story over at George's place. Pop over and say hello and give him some support

l like George's crazyness, it reminds me of me! :) Go get em George! xxx
ReplyDeleteme too Jussy, bet he gives them a fight lol
ReplyDeleteWhat I notice is that they are prosecuting for calling one of Italian descent 'some sort of Italian' but not for calling the same person-of-unknown-origins-but-very-delicate-little-flower a 'lying toad'. It seems toads are not afforded any sort of protection in law (isn't that 'speciest'?), or they accept fully that the afore-mentioned uniformed thug with fond memories of the Good Old Days under Mussollinni (however these Italian types spell it) is, shall we say, known to have certain problems with the truth?
ReplyDeleteltalian isn't a race ffs!
ReplyDeleteTell George to alter his comment settings, l can't post there.
ReplyDeleteAt least this time its a criminal case and that means that George gets all the protections of PACE and Legal Aid. Looking at the post in question I'm guessing (and it is purely a guess, I have no legal knowledge) that any halfway competent Brief will get it dropped before it even gets to trial. Its fairly obvious that the fact that he has been charged at all is due to pressure from the UKBA.
ReplyDeleteTrue BD, he does indeed have legal aid
ReplyDeleteThe curtain is drawn back on the repressive vindictive state.
DeleteIf they can't get you for infringement (A), then trumped up charge on (B) will do, if that fails then (C) is just as good. The motivation is revenge, not justice.
This country now has so many laws and regulations that this trick can be brought to bear on any one of us.
And as Paul said, Italian isn't a race.
Thank you all for your support, Settings on my blog now re-set to comment friendly mode
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note: The bold lad from the UKBA Kevin Lazzerini will be cross examined by a professional defence lawyer this time around, There will be no UKBA Solicitor jumping up screaming " Objection M'Lord, thats not relevant to condemnation proceedings" And cross examined under criminal court witness statements, Where PERJURY MEANS PERJURY.
George, l hope you get a photo of this prat so if we are using Glasgow Airport we can pick him out. It should be an interesting case because ltalian is not a race. lt doesn't matter what's on your computer because the charge is Racial Breach of the Peace so anything not racial or aimed at this goonie, your brief should be jumping up and saying "Objection M'Lord, that's not relevant to Racial Breach of the Peace". Also anything with private correspondence is not relevant either. lncidentally, why is your blog still up if it's had a charge of racialism against it? Seems damn odd to me.
ReplyDeleteThe Blog is still up because it is hosted on servers in the US probably, that UKBA cannot get access to, though they could put in a take down request if they so wished, and it could be ignored if wished by the provider too.
DeleteIf George were to put up a photograph of the "gentleman" concerned, he would open himself up for a completely different charge possibly of threatening behaviour or behaviour liable to cause a breach of the peace. There are careful lines to tread when you get to this stage of victimisation.
Firstly to all those people saying,correctly, that Italian isn't a race I have to point out that 'race' crime now covers nationality as well...to say 'all Americans are stupid fat burger munching gun totting morons' would fall under the 'racist' rubric...as people who thought it would be fun to make nazi salutes at some Germans found out. Although in George's case the supposed 'slur' is so faint as to be non existent..and I'm betting George's brief will make the CPS see sense.
ReplyDeleteIts also entirely possible that the UKBA will suddenly wake up and smell the subpoena and realise that a criminal trial cross examination of Lazz may not be in their interests.
Via SH, I've seen a bit more of the Prosecution's case. You might imagine that they've got something more to work with? They haven't!
ReplyDeleteThis is just a terror campaign. They don't scare George, but a lot of people will hear half the story and be more careful about challenging Authority.
George is a warrior!
I can't believe that the Persecutor Fisting , or whatever they call him ('Prosecutor Fecal'?), has even brought charges.
ReplyDelete[Off Topic] SH,I just noticed the new 'yellow' on Vehicle Seizures and it might be a good idea to add something to it along the lines of "Firstly, IF you follow our advice and openly RECORD[link] your encounter with BF, have an accurate SOT[link] and a copy of Bobi's FOI [link] then it is unlikely that the BF will seize your car/ or use illegal threats of seizing your vehicle to intimidate you into leaving your goods".
ReplyDeleteYeah l know BD but a little bit busy at the moment
ReplyDeleteSH, that's why the good Lord-in his eternal wisdom- gave you 'minions'...let loose the Winged Monkeys! :P
ReplyDeleteHAVE BEEN THE TOWER OF LONDON FOR THIS OLD GREAT GRANDFATHER GEORGE.
ReplyDeleteIf making a point and informing others that a Government employee has failed in their duty to keep full and accurate accounts, That their intention is to be untruthful in a court of law and they refused to comply with the laws of Disability Discrimination is declared a criminal offence. Then where would fair comment and exposure of wrong doing by David Cameron, Osborne, May or in fact any Government employee be seen? and what about discussion in Newspapers or broadcast media of such failings? Or the mention that Boris Johnston may be sort of German,or Michael Portillo sort ofSpanish or even the Milliband boys being sort of Jewish, Danny Alexander was labled a Ginger Scottish Rodent, by a senior member of the Labour party, And the comment made in Scotland, No charges to follow. My blog did not talk to Lazz, It talked about Lazz, I had no way of knowing he was reading and monitoring my information, But just why would he wish to do that? unless he was spying on my defences. My information is this sort of thought non crime is in uncharted waters as far as the laws are concerned, A GREY AREA, If two or more persons are discussing the failure of their MP and highlighting where the MP is failing in his duties to the public, Then if my case is seen as criminal, So would that be a step towards making a new criminal offence in the United Kingdome of speaking of a government employee in a non favourable tone, A bit like
Nice article, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with a lot of what you're saying here but it could do with more detail. They stayed away in droves.
ReplyDeleteNice review! Im waiting for next update.
