Hurty words on Facebook…

First thing i thought when reading the initial post is was the originator specifically talking about a fraud case, and then doing the weird comparison, rather than the originator belittling the whole riot stuff. Reason i say that is that the only time i’ve heard about the facebook prison terms lately is when talking about Huw Edwards, and how he didn’t get any jail time, whereas posting on facebook for you 3 years, so seems a bit weird to phrase it against fraud, when it’s usually always ‘pedo/nonce’ rubbish that it’s used in context about.

Anyway, i’ll leave it at that, not going to do the rights or wrongs on the whole thing as i’ve no clue who did what or their history.

Almost forgot, only time i use ‘hurty’ is when i’m doing the dad joke regarding the time and toothache!

I’m kinda intrigued by the hatred some here have toward people who use the word holibobs, it’s almost as intense as a racist”s hatred toward people from other countries/cultures. What’s the point in calling out racists if you’re still fostering hatred albeit for people of a different group? Surely the goal is to lessen the amount of hatred in the world?

 If folk tell you that they weren’t aware of this phrase and its connotations then you could do worse than simply believe them.

I wasn’t aware of it, but it’s not exactly difficult to work out.

To be fair, a lot of folk will only know the ‘facebook poster ends up in prison’ headline, and nothing of the actual incident, there’s a hundred headlines i see every day and i probably only get more info on a couple of them, the way the online press is as well, the info you get can be slanted either way just by going to one website over another.

If I was going to guess I’d assume hurty words meant calling someone a **** or telling them to **** off.

Perfectly possible, sure. But does anyone genuinely believe that you get locked up longer for telling people to **** off online than tax fraud?

Some hurty words, earlier today.

I did smile when I saw that 🙂

Any update for us OP – has the offender been reducated yet?

The thing here, really, and it’s seemingly common with these sorts of cases, is that she’d been up before the beak beforehand and told to knock it off.  If you disobey a direct order from the courts then it’s only ever going to end one way and there’s only one person to blame for that.

Liam Muir, defending, said Connolly … was distinguished from other offenders using social media in that she had sent the tweet at the heart of the case before any violence against asylum seekers had started.

I’m not sure that calling for violence against asylum seekers before actual violence against asylem seekers started is quite the defence he thinks it is.

Passing sentence, Judge Inman told the court that Connolly’s tweet – which was read 310,000 times – was “intended to incite serious violence”.

I assume he went on to say “Unlike you…  I’m free!”

That’s a personnel matter between them and their manager. They didn’t assault me in the lift on Tuesday, which is a good thing

I see the tory councillors wife also messaged that she would carry on, “working as a child minder on the sly” even after being deregistered…

She also messaged sometime to say that if charged she would play the, “mental health card.”

Way to go lady, way to go.

Was he carrying a bag of frozen sausages though? 😉

That’s not so bad – if he was carrying a hammer and a smirk, you in a heap ‘o trouble. 😉

Didnt she get the case postponed for several weeks for a psychiatric assessment? I bet that message would have gone down well.

In fairness, she has suffered some sort of personal tragedy (the beeb is deliberately non specific) due to her child “being turned away from  healthcare” or words to that effect.

However, to declare you will be using any personal challenges to “play the mental health card” kind of undermines that position somewhat.

Personal tragedy or not, inciting arson in order to murder people is simply not justifiable to any reasonable person.

19 month old child died from dehydration & kidney failure due to ‘errors’ in treatment.

But those messages show a calm intent to play victim. She’ll have time to reflect on all of this I guess.

I remember when racist Tory councillors wore suits. Her fella has turned up to court in a kind of Primark Footie Hooligan garb with stains on the shirt. WTAF?

He must be able to afford some Stone Island, at least?

Standards, my boy, standards.
