@diodesign How do stories like this not simply result in the paper being shut down?

@dsilverstone That'll be the power of free speech. Some just use it to write about complete piffle

@diodesign It's mysogenistic hate speech characterised as passive backhanded compliments. Surely that's ban-able?

@dsilverstone It is misogynistic drivel, absolutely. It's depressing. However, I don't think banning speech is workable

@diodesign OOI, where can I find the laws on hate speech in newspapers? Public Order Act doesn't mention media.

@dsilverstone Public Order Act has a section on publishing hate speech, although it's about race hate specifically

@diodesign Yeah, hence I didn't consider it complete by any sense. Presumably there's something more complete/modern?
