I knew you were referring to that... except he was not jailed and even ran to be an MEP which you can't do if you have jail time. It's not hard to research these things. Just so you know as well, there is no universal British law. He was arrested under Scottish law.

And Scottish law is stupid so it's no surprise he got arrested over nothing. If you're going to try and prove a point then at least research it.

There are three legal systems in the UK with different laws. English/Welsh law, Northern Irish law and Scottish law (which is nothing like the other two). American law is similar to English/Welsh/NI in that it's common law.

Scottish law is civil law and their politicians are known for being stupid so you get stupid shit like people being arrested over jokes (although note he was obviously not jailed). They also have plans to give every kid some sort of social worker until they grow up its fucked up.

alright well then don't reply when someone knows better

I’m talking to multiple people jackass. I’ll amend that he was arrested rather than jailed, but that doesn’t change the impact of issue at hand. Also if they’re a part of the UK you’re just arguing semantics. That doesn’t change my statement

No it isn't semantics. They're fully separate legal systems with different laws and and separate judges which aren't compatible as two are common law and one is civil law.
