Out of interest why can nobody discuss the M*****s?
I had a look in the rules because I thought discussion on it was banned but I couldn't find anything about it.
Is there some sort of legal thing?
- Immigrants
- Homosexuality
- Benefits
- Cyclists
i've seen those things being discussed before
Under English libel law the burden of proof lies with the person making the accusations, and as such almost all previous threads on THAT topic have contained comments that are libelous under English law.
English libel law is tougher than many other countries, note the South Park episode 'Trapped in the Closet' that ends with people shouting "We'll sue you in England!"

The McCanns which I can understand due to the sensitivity of such a subject. But I've noticed a few libelous commentts myself.

I would not like to be in charge of such
Only if untrue!
Immigration
Gypsies
Disability
Benefits
Daily Mail
Homosexuals
I have learnt the hard way....
It's also why I don't post as much. Debate is often stifled.
Au contraire... you can say what you like about gypsies it seems... as long as you have any sort of anecdotal story to hang your comments on it's open season.
Plastic Bags
Arabs in Tesco
The war (I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it)
Truth is in the heart, if you lie it will show in some form Henry
I truly believe that
