Oh well that’s fine then.
A transgender activist who told the crowd at a London Pride event to “punch a Terf” has been cleared of encouraging violence after telling a court it was a stunt for publicity.
Sarah Baker, 54, was filmed addressing the crowd at the Trans+ Pride rally on July 8, and shouted into the microphone: “If you see a Terf, punch them in the f***ing face.”
But she told City of London magistrates court her words was not intended to incite violence, but rather to grab a front page newspaper headline.
Well he would say that, wouldn’t he.
I wonder if the same claim would work if the word “terf” were replaced with “nigger” or “muzzie” or “Paki.”
I seriously doubt it.

‘..words was not..’? I think that the Evening Standard could do with employing writers who know how to English (sic).

Ah, but the standard to meet is only the Evening Standard.
I just hope his parole hearing doesn’t go so well for him.
As if encouraging violence and courting publicity were somehow mutually exclusive. I mean, it’s practically the first rule of fascist club.
