The Cellar - Britain ending free speech

Count Dankula reports this excellent story. Not excellent for free speech, but excellent fun to hear about.

Lecturer reported to police for hate crime after saying 'English are wankers'

Quote:

A university lecturer who quoted a speech from Trainspotting was accused of committing a hate crime.

James Mooney, a film and philosophy lecturer at Edinburgh University, was reported to police for writing on Instagram: "Spent this morning telling a group of visiting American students that we don’t really hate the English, but that they are wankers. Welcome to Scotland."

It was a reference to the famous scene where Ewan McGregor’s character, Mark Renton, rants about Scotland being "colonised" by the English.

[The movie quote is] "Some hate the English. I don't," he says. "They’re just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonised by wankers. Can’t even find a decent culture to be colonised by."

Dankula: "If I call an Englishman a wanker, I demand that he call me one back, because that means we're friends."
