Threatening people online was already illegal.

  Ok, lets replace this with murder. MPs are getting murdered, so they introduce a new law to prevent murder. Is the parents comment acceptable?

    Murder is already illegal, and threatening to murder someone is already illegal. Any further legislation, the burden of proof is on them not on me or the parent poster. Otherwise one day they might claim that me taking a shit will lead to their murder and have my toilets removed.

      Im not saying the burden of proof is on you. I'm not saying murder is legal. I'm saying that making sarcastic comments suggesting that MPs deserve to be murdered or threatened isn't acceptable. Its a completely separate issue from the law theyve introduced, which as I said, I'm not in favour of, and I agree they need to make the case before they remove your toilets, I've already made such a comment elsewhere in this thread.
