Title: Let's be careful people

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/may/20/1Some 15 year old got arrested in London for having a sign saying "Scientology is a Cult".
It would appear the police are getting more and more twitchy about this.

Liberty director, Shami Chakrabarti, said: "This barmy prosecution makes a mockery of Britain's free speech traditions.

Shami Chakrabarti is a very prominent Human Rights activist and a great ally to have.
See this as a test case, we have a very good chance of winning, once this is over nobody will be able to stop us using the word CULT.

Would writing cult warning words and signs on the ground with pavement chalk be seen as graffiti?
forclambake88 - May 20, 2008 07:24 PM (GMT)
i totally agree.We need also more 3rd party orgs to witness, help, credit and backup our censorship and attack problems.
forclambake88 - May 20, 2008 07:25 PM (GMT)
we need signs all round town. anyone up for this mission? :mask:

Without large enough numbers, we can't spread ourselves out too much.

That just means i have to get up earlier lol.

Really we don't need to be worried about this whole banning of the word cult thing. The police in Brum have never suggested we would be stopped from using the word.
This case against the Anon in London will either be dropped before it gets to court or he will win the case.
Even if he loses the case, there are over 100,000 words in the English language so we would be stopped from using 1 of them. We would just need to word things differently.
The Scilons may be able to stop us using certain words but they can't stop us telling the truth. They're afraid of the truth, and they should be, it's the truth that will bring them down.
DaftHats - May 20, 2008 11:17 PM (GMT)
Something like '$cientology is a false sect?'. Yeah, we've many other words we can use.
anonuk323 - May 20, 2008 11:20 PM (GMT)
Epic Nose Guy is not going to lose the case in London; he was quoting Mr Justice Latey (1984 ruling, High Court). the OED definition of a cult and the UK charity Cult Information Centre (http://www.cultinformation.org.uk/) stance on CoS; any lawyer/solicitor worth their salt will get this laughed out of court in less than 30 minutes.
CoS will get yet another PR black eye, and City of London police (CoLP) will be under question as to why they proceeded with this, when the Met police were happy (even after the CPS advised CoLP that is wasn't a problem ("A CPS spokesman said no specific advice was given to police regarding the boy's placard." from ARS)).
TL;DR: CoLP are interpreting the law wrong and are being jumped on by a lot of people about this. Non-issue. <_<
anonymitts - May 21, 2008 07:04 AM (GMT)
yup, 323 is right - non-issue.
The CPS will most likely take one look at the papers filed by CoLP and throw them out. CO$ solicitors won't get a look in, it's not a civil case.
ScudMuffin - May 21, 2008 07:43 PM (GMT)
Not only that, international press are picking up on it like wild fire. Co$ is going to become a joke.

Is it true that we have to avoid the use of the word "hate" when reffering to Co$ too?

DaftHats - May 22, 2008 11:55 PM (GMT)
Sod them, I'm having 'Cult!' written on my sign somewhere after all this.
And if anyone does find laws on drawing on the pavements with chalk, they will get a nice sized 'Cult this way ->' outside the building.

Another win, the OSA's pathetic atempts once again lead to negative publicity for them and positive publicity for us.
I'm going to work on a big banner with foot high letters saying:
Dangerous Cult!
DaftHats - May 23, 2008 09:22 PM (GMT)
Victoly!
The Guardian report seemed more pro-Anon than some of them.

It's only because the CO$ are trying to get into the CoLP's knickers.

Step it up to what? What exactly could we do? I see little room for improvement.
