Does anyone know what happened? Saw about 7 stewards in the middle of the concourse with 2 trying to calm a Swans fan down. |  | | |  |

Is making a racist remark illegal or not in the UK then ? |
Depends on the extent of the 'remark'.
Remark seems a little bit of an understatement based on what's been written on page 1. |  |

So are you implying that some racist remarks are not illegal and some are ? |  |

That chap in picture 20 is an absolute nutter at away games, giving the home fans stick all game, flicking the v sign to them continually. Not racist though.
Anybody know him? |
He’s watched the Swans away for years, surprised more on here don’t know him - not posting his name BTW. Where do the club stand with posting peoples mugs online without permission?
Didn’t see any trouble of any sort up there myself. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 22:13]

I have come across him lots. Bit of a nuisance if he's near you. But as I said, nothing racist etc out of his mouth. |
pic 20, he travels on coaches every away game, bit of a pest, don't wanna be stuck on same coach as him or in his vicinity, but never heard racism. |  |

No. The authorities will determine if a crime has taken place usually under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 or the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. | |

Exactly, and this would investigated and deemed one way or the other depending on the evidence presented. | |

Ask some of the lads down the pub is murder illegal and they will say yes, ask them is making verbal racist remarks illegal and some will say yes, some will say no and some will not know. | |

It’s not difficult. Making obviously offensive racist remarks in public within the hearing of someone who is likely to be offended (doesn’t have to be anyone identified as being so) is likely to see that person being arrested for, probably a racially aggravated public order offence.
Saying it in the confines of one’s own home, to people inside the home (as opposed to shouting it into the street) is not illegal |  | | |

Their respecitive knowledge of our country's laws has nothing to with whether a football fan shouting racial abuse at a football match will be prosecuted.

Are you saying racially abusing someone directly to their face in the house is ok but doing the same using the same words in the street is not ? | |

Tramline. May I ask, where did I say it was OK ? It is, of course abhorrent. I am merely telling you it’s not illegal. | | | |

It doesn't make for 'good law' does it when the population in general don't know what is and what is not illegal and seems to me to leave plenty of scope for unfairness with the potential for people not to be treated equally by the courts. | |

Not going around racially abusing people tends to work for me.
That's why I don't worry about being arrested for it. |  | | |

I meant ok as in not illegal...…….. so you are pointing out that it is not illegal to call somebody all sorts of racist names to their face if you are in your own house but it is illegal to do exactly the same to the same person using the same language in the street ? | |

On a personnel level quite but as regards sound laws of the land, its about as clear as mud. | |

Yes. Click on this link, and see have a look at the table in relation the Public Order Act.
It’s ‘public order’, I.e., not in private.

Exactly Sirjohnalot and that is my point, that is what I wanted you to point out to the forum, the public don't know if making racist remarks is illegal or not and as regards the law you can make remarks in the home but not in the street, its a nonsense. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 22:57]

The potential for some to be prosecuted and others not for similar things is huge and that is not good. | |

It’s perfectly simple. Don’t be a flipping racist and make racist remarks. If ‘the public’ are not racist and don’t make racist remarks anywhere, they won’t be arrested for being a big ol’ racist, will they ?
People know you should not say racist things, as it is racist. I fail to understand the issue. Reasons why blokes in the pub are confused is they’re racist.
On that note, I’m out. | | | |
