First Police Scalp after Thatchers Death

[SandyD]

but since they didn't tweet their opinion that is OK!

Yes no one can be punished for a crime they didn't commit you idiot, if any of them openly declared they are racist they will be punished, but if they only thought it then they haven't committed the crime yet.

If you thought about killing your boss you wont go to prison for it, but if you actually did kill him/her, then yes you need to be punished...

How is his view on Thatcher going to effect his day to day job? Yet there are probably hundreds of closet racists in the police who will be treating blacks/asians differently, but since they didn't tweet their opinion that is OK!

Another gem from a hypocretin

Thatcher was no Hitler despite what you misogynist lefties like to think. She did you nothing but good. I could express a much stronger opinion about you but I would get banned from this site (irrespective of what my politics behind it were) In the case of the police proclaiming strong and aggressive political views suggests that they will not behave with impartiality when doing their jobs.
They may indeed have their own political opinions but if they dont have the discipline to set them aside on facebook how on earth can they be expected to act with any impartiality on the streets?

So do you think a policeman tweeting about how Maggie should be sainted should also get the boot?

Since when was hoping someone died a painful death a crime? It's not very nice but never a crime. I'm beginning to think some of you guys are sockies, no one can be that thick and in contracting.

That is a very good question

The first logical challenge that I have received amongst all my posts.

I will think about it.

I don't see what he has done wrong, this is the typical overreaction, you can't even have an opinion now. What's next thought police? He is only saying what 99% of the population think.

Where did you get the 99% figure from

I figured agents and barrow boys are around 1%

Good point, and vital for this discussion.

Depends whether the publicly tweeted tweet violated any UK statute laws, UK criminal laws or specific Employer's policies and rulings.

WHS,

In fact, an equivalent positive tweet would be, he hoped Thatcher had a peaceful death. So any policeman who tweeted that should be fired. Can't wait to see the neo-cons arguing that one. Game Set and Match.

He has made a pertinent point in one sentence without reverting to cliche. Whereas you have merely portrayed yourself as a hypocritical bigot unable to support any sweeping cliche with argument or fact.
