Nazi ban-culture gone mad.

[Hetzer]

So you'd think you have a right, as a free man, to swim in the sea. The public sea, not off some private beach or MOD area. And if there was a dolphin around, well gee, dolphins can look after themselves. They fvck sharks up on a regular basis. And if all else fails they can just swim off, right?

So two drunk guys jump into the sea at Dover, figuring they'll play with Dave the dolphin. Dave loves people, and if he's not feeling like playing he'd just bugger off.

But some plod figured these two guys were 'harrassing' Dave and ordered them out of the water. The two guys ignored him, they were having fun with Dave and Dave was having fun with them.

So they get arrested, prosecuted, found guilty by Dover magistrates, fined £350 and ordered to do 120 hours community service. For going into the sea and playing with a dolphin.

A dolphin expert was interviewed and said the result was absurd. "The dolphin loves playing with people, and if it didn't it would swim away."

Somebody else made the point "What happens if you're in the water first and the dolphin appears and you accidentally touch it...will you be prosecuted?"

So here we are again, in this nazi toilet our country has become, you can now be ordered out of the sea by the police if there's a dolphin around, and arrested and prosecuted if you quite rightfully ignore the copper.

There is something very seriously wrong with the way this country is being run, and the obscenity outlined above exemplifies it perfectly.

I'm not surprised, not in the slightest. I wonder would they still have been prosecuted even if the dolphin wasn't there, endangering their own lives and what not.

You shouldn't call them nazis, it's not nice and will probably result in a fine soon enough.

Anyone want to jump in and defend the ban culture?

The sea is crown property, not public property.

If it had been the foreshore (between high and low tide marks), you would have some rights under the bill of rights and the magna carta. Below the low tide mark, not the case.

Does this decision mean that Willy isn't Free at all?

Sad, So very VERY Sad.

Their crime was disobeying a police officer. Considering that this can get you beaten up and charged with assaulting a police officer if you make any attempt at trying to defend yourself, I think they got off lightly.

In an ideal world, policemen would be wise, and sensible but to get the tricky bits of the job done, policemen need to be bossy thugs, so they tend to be like that when it doesnt really help matters.

No system is perfect rule of law is an ideal to be aimed for, but is a bit of an illusion.

Reality dictates that you should obey those more powerful than you.

The law is not applied evenly, or fairly. The rich get better lawyers so are more likely to have judgements returned in their favour.

heres the link to the dolphin story by the way

Why is it always the Nazis that are banning things?

You never hear of the Liberals doing anything.

There seem to be a lot of things contrary to the bill of rights these days. Why are they allowed to get away with it?
