The missus put custard creams in with my sandwiches but didn't wrap them in anything - they all gone really soft

Is that a hate crime?

I read that as your missus put custard creams in your sandwiches and immediately felt both revulsion then wondering about what if? Like a Cornish pasty with jam at the dessert end.

Knew a guy who used to make sausage roll sandwiches. 3 sausages rolls per sandwich. 2 sandwiches. Large man.

I was going to ask:
"North of the Border?"
But then I thought as we are learning to be sensitive, maybe it could be taken the wrong way, so I didn't.

The forum moderators can rest easy.

Seems that the "divide and conquer" model is going well.
While we're all arguing with each other over trivial matters such as skin colour, gender, s**uality, NHS waiting times, Brexit, existence of the so-called cost of living crisis, whether pensioners are poor or not, who is responsible for paying for people's children and whether it's the dogs fault or the owners (chicken and egg or what!), this is going on in the background.
Many people will say 'but it doesn't affect me' and they may be correct, but it's one step closer to something that will.

But it looks totally the other way up to me

Freedom to or freedom from?

The OSA is designed to promote the latter: freedom for women and girls from online abuse, freedom from illegal images, freedom from revenge porn, freedom from... Most of what the OSA prohibits is already illegal anyway but now owners of online services are not free to be willfully negligent about their services being used to enable those illegal activities. Generally speaking, you're not allowed to enable illegal activities in the non-online world (it makes you an accessory) so why should you be able to in the online world? The OSA might need some tweaks/amendments in the long run, but it's just an attempt to impose responsibilities in the online world that parallel responsibilities in the rest of life. Running an online service is no longer a loophole that facilitates profits without responsibility.

The Act is probably a belated step in the right direction. It isn't the state controlling its citizens; it's protecting them (or trying to). Retrobike has little to worry about: it's responsibly run.
