Thank you, another sensible person here on the Escapist! The thing is, they still got found guilty of the original offence, that being assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They were also given the same sort of sentence anyone would be for a non-major first crime, a suspended sentence and...

Other than this not really having anything to do with their religion, and more to do with mitigating circumstance, yea, this is totally Muslims being treated better than white people. I mean, why else would someone who was committing criminal damage, which is likely to also be racially...

That's fair, my missus finds it boring after a while too :P Good job we have computer gaming, technology, science, history and fiction in common, eh?! I know! I'm a terrible Brit - I don't hate the EU (it's not too bad, most of the time), I don't hate immigrants (most of them work harder and...

Other than you being entirely wrong, you're obviously entirely right! Also, you stole my avatar ;)

Exactly! At least I'm not the only one willing to try to educate people as to British law, and show them that buying into the headline of a renown bigot newspaper is a stupid thing to do.

You misquoted - I said that. And it didn't take part in the plea at all. All that has happened is, from what I've read, that they made the plea for mitigating circumstances based on intoxication, and when asked why voluntary intoxication should be accepted, they indicated that they had never...

I'm glad that a little injection of actual legal knowledge is appreciated. Thank you, yourself, for not then deciding to jump on me and start making unfounded accusations. Thank goodness there are at least some escapists who actually appreciate reasoned, informed debate.

I don't actually like sports all that much - politics and law are much more interesting to me. I know, I'm a bad Englishman... *hangs his head in shame* I do sort of support Liverpool though! And yea, they do suck sometimes, but they're doing better!

The law in the UK equates racism and insults/discrimination based on religion as one and the same. So yes, they are being the religious equivalent of racists. As I said, if the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) had thought she had suffered serious injury, they'd have charged the girls with...

THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY! Do you not know what a suspended sentence is? It means that they were found guilty, sentenced to time in prison, but that sentence is suspended for a period of time (depending on the crime, judge, etc), and will only come into effect should that person commit another...

Same here, I'm utterly disgusted with the amount of racism here at the Escapist, which is a huge disappointment for someone who generally thought this community was relatively open minded. 1) In the UK, unless you have committed a major crime, you will almost always get a suspended sentence...

Sounds to me like the OP got caught breaking the rules, got busted for it, and is butt-hurt. For a particular class/module, the tutor can pretty much do what they want, as it is their class. You pay for the right to go to the class, and to follow the rules. If I were your tutor, I'd have done...

From Chester here too, and that law got repealed a few years ago, just because they were worried someone might try doing it :P And the law was that Welshmen inside the city walls after dark could be shot with a longbow, I believe.

Notice that she was only insulted when she tried to jump the queue at the passport desk. So she tried to jump a queue. In the UK. And she wasn't lynched. She's lucky to still be alive, since queue-jumping is a capital crime over here..

No they wouldn't, because even if they did do it, it's entirely legal. Damn, I wish people would only give opinions on stuff like this if they actually know what the hell they're talking about.
