I think the reporting depends on the agenda of the publication.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

The BBC, Guardian and Telegraph are all quite similar. I suspect it's based of the same report and syndicated across the sites with minor changes. We might see more in-depth reporting tonight/tomorrow.

It appears Nick Griffin has tweeted part of the address of the gay couple in question and said they're going up there to stage a 'demo'.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

Oh it's nice to see he's spreading the hate a bit. Not nice to think he was reserving it for non-whites only.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

One could argue that the B&B owners religious beliefs are being Discriminated against aswell.

Personally live and let live.

The rest of Nick Griffin's tweet.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

I have to admit, Nick Griffin's command of his native tongue is...

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

Had his account suspended apparently

Makes me wonder why twitter let people like Alan Fry carry on using the service.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

Surely that's a hate crime by Griffin?

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

I am not sure. I think it must come under something to do with threatening/menacing communications....

The last few gasps of a dying party.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

One could argue that it's a straw-man argument to argue that it is discriminatory not to be allowed to be discriminatory...;)

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

I'd say so. Definate potential for a charge under the communications act. It would be a pish charge but I've seen charges for less.

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

If the party died along with all it's members, the world would be a much better place. ;)

You've become rather attached to the straw man haven't you Hugh?

As we don't live in America, but in the UK, the correct terminology is "Aunt Sally" ;)

Re: Christian B&B owners lose appeal....
 

a) I am not attached to them, I was pointing out that others may be using them - big difference; but then again, logic, reason, thinking things through and you are usually non-contiguous
b) "Aunt Sally"? Bless... I'll just go get my smoking jacket, and ask the staff to prepare the kedgeree.

fwiw, if one should search on 'aunt+sally' on CF, you get 13 results* - should one search on 'straw+man', it shows 200 results (there are probably more, but the search is limited to 200) - perhaps the usage is more prevalent than you realise...

*of which, only 1 (besides our two posts) uses it in the context you have put forward...;)
