Freedom of speech and the UK

The justice system is doing as DEA chief's describe the drug war, you get rid of one profit system, and Squeeze one end of the justice system and sentencing balloons in another. First it's trolls, then it's unpopular speech.

Under the current law, people who subject their victims to sexually offensive, verbally abusive or threatening material on the internet can only be prosecuted in magistrates' courts under the Malicious Communications Act- Depending on ones ideology or belief system that could literally mean anything. You know trolling goes both ways. The legal system is often used to troll unsuspecting victims as well.

In regards to this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11172231/Internet-trolls-to-face-two-years-in-jail.html

Just to let you know similar laws have been enacted in some US states.
