VOICE OF PRIVILEGE
oh my gosh. gerald kaufman mp has denounced ariel sharon as a "war criminal". is that legal?
i think he can get away with it cause he said it in parliament and there's, like, a law that says it's ok to say that stuff if you're an mp and in parliament or something.
so gerald kaufman could say something like "he's a murdering bastard" about someone and get away with it. but only if he said it in parliament.
i don't think i could say that on here. it's something to do with privilege or absolute privilege. it wouldn't be legal, except if it was fair. as in fair comment. y'know, "fair comment guv'nor".
it wouldn't be legal to say on here something like "he has the blood of children on his heartless hands" about someone. and, of course, it would probly not be true because if anyone did i guess he would wash them pretty quick anyway. at least before he ate his tea.
so it's funny really that we got laws and rules and judges and stuff that stop you from saying not nice things about people, even in other countries, but we don't seem to do nothing much when other countries, like, murder loads of civilians and then stamp rubble over them with tanks.
