A Preston North End fan has apparently been banned for life after making comments on twitter about the queen and royals...
Totally normal country :-)

Why would you get arrested for taking over a pub again ?

Because you shouldn't try to get back into the Queen's Arms at this point in time.

so now there'll be an injunction on the UK press from printing anything juicy.

Has freedom of speech been suspended for 10 days?

The wall to wall coverage is obscene. Making me depressed. Can’t even watch Sky Sports news without a memorial message on the side. Sickening

Logic would indicate that since Preston are defending their decision to ban him for life, it isn't utter bollocks

First they came for the Republicans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Republican

Re: Careful tonight lads. Any disrespect towards "her maj" gets you a lifetime ban
I struggle to believe that this ban was for the tweet of asking if he would be ejected for booing?
Nonetheless, this is all ridiculous and worrying, as it is in cases when causes each of you cares for are also offended. Supporting someones right to cause offence at a funeral does also mean the right to cause offence at any funeral.
The right to boo also means the right to boo (for example) taking the knee or any other minutes silence.
The example here is of course absurd (which makes me think there is more to it) but don't pretend there are no tricky grey areas here..
More widely, standing up for free speech is really important and hopefully more people will do it and try to prevent anything taking place merely because it offends some people.

I assume it was for more than that too. However a lifetime ban for a comment on Twitter is absurd. The last time Preston banned a fan was 4 years ago. After instigating a brawl and throwing a chair at opposing fans he was given a 5 year ban.

That's a different scenario, because thought crimes are dealt with by the thought police.

Jimbo, mostly you spout a stream of one-eyed Tory-apologist bollocks but I'd never want you banned (ever).

Re: Careful tonight lads. Any disrespect towards "her maj" gets you a lifetime ban
The game has nothing to do with royalty, someones has died , lets respect that ?? If not arrest them , I can be arrested for saying something racist , or homophobic but not insulting the dead Queen are we really we defended this ??

Re: Careful tonight lads. Any disrespect towards "her maj" gets you a lifetime ban
Can I be arrested for suggesting Michael Fagan as a pall bearer? After all he tried to pick her up before..........very dodgy incident that was.

That's the thing, this fan never actually disrespected the Queen during a minutes silence. It's yet to happen.
Preston banned him for life for THINKING about doing something. That's ****ed up. :hehe:

It was for wishing members of the royal family would die, and including the clubs hashtag in it or whatever.
Obviously, it's a completely OTT reaction, as these things nearly always are, but still.
