Threats are now "freedom of speech"

[IAN 2411]

In the UK threats are not freedom of speech. I told my neighbour that if he knocked my fence down once more I promised to kick his ass. I ended up in court and was told by the Magistrate that I was charged under threatening behaviour, how did I plead?

I informed him and the other two dick heads that knew damn all about the law. It was not a threat it was definitely a promise. He then told me that my promise had just cost a £60 fine and £20 costs. Proving that in the UK a promise is not freedom of speech either.

Be well IAN 2411

As a point of interest: Can't you report your neighbours behaviour to the police?
