Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

I can't think of anybody that would do the things being suggested; it's more likely down to those who indulge in this type of behaviour feeling agrieved that they are being disempowered.

This won't affect the vast majority of people who treat minority groups with respect, dignity, understanding, compassion and empathy.

Those who seek to harass, upset and belittle others are the only ones who need to be worried. Hopefully they will see the sense in the cessation of their attitude & behaviour as it simply isn't worth gaining a criminal record, imprisonment, loss of reputation, dismissal from work etc (many employers have diversity policies in place).

Re: Disability discrimination.

The most bizarre thing about the sort of people that indulge in this practice is that they fail to realise that statistics show that most people will become disabled at some point in their lives, be it through attack, disease, accident or old age. It is, therefore, extremely likely that if these people don't become disabled themselves, someone close to them will do.

When it finally dawns on them that they and their loved ones aren't invincible, watch their attitude change in a flash.
