Sense about sensibilities?

In the magazine last week I wrote about an illiterate Muslim idiot in the north of England who posted on his Facebook site nasty things about the British soldiers killed in Afghanistan, to the effect that they would ‘go to hell.’ For this, he was arrested and charged with some imaginary crime the last government made up when it wasn’t busy wrecking the economy or invading sovereign countries illegally.

Obviously, I don’t agree with the sentiments expressed by this semi-house-trained medieval bigot. But it seems to me a bit rich to arrest someone for saying that British soldiers will go to hell. Isn’t it?

Today I read that some ghastly Welsh idiot has posted something making fun of the stricken young footballer, Fabrice Muamba. Arrested, again. Spent a night in the cells. Will be charged. Isn’t this protection of peoples’ sensibilities going a bit too far?
