A chap was prosecuted under the race relations act for calling a welsh bouncer, a Taff. So does that now mean that we cannot call someone a Georgie or Scoucer without fear of prosecution by the PC police. What about TaffMog ? Should they now change their name to WelshMog.
The whole world has gone mad.
Neil - a cockney, but you cant call me that.
Just had a quick look at this. He was charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress, not under the Race Relations Act. The offence was alleged to have been racially aggravated.
Cheltenham Magistrates' Court heard how Davis was very drunk and abusive after being thrown out of Harry's Bar in Gloucester in January.
At a previous hearing Graham Dono, prosecuting, told magistrates Davis turned to his brother and said: "Don't talk to them, they're f*****s".
He then turned to a female, English, police officer and added: "Are you f**king taffs as well? You can f**k off'."
The lorry driver admitted being offensive but denied in court that what he said was racist.
He was acquitted.
