The UK tolerated child rape gangs for decades, arguably still do. Yet they want to prosecute hurt feelings. Joke of a country.

It goes on like this in dozens more instances.

This is hardly unsubstantiated as it is a widespread acknowledged problem. [1] It should also be noted that this is not the first time I criticized the UK's 'unique' take on justice. The reception then was quite different however. Is moderation at the whim of the mob? Perhaps 'joke of a country is a bit harsh' but I can't think of a better description of such lopsided priorities.

I didn't say it was unsubstantiated—rather that your comment was unsubstantive—because you swerved into a classic flamewar topic with a provocative swipe. That's clearly against the site guidelines.
