Hugh Grant Calls for Twitter to Be Regulated
The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a Chinese Communist:
He was on air on behalf of the Hacked Off campaign who were quick to distance themselves from his absurd comments. A glimpse into a dark mind…

UPDATE: Friends of Hugh get in touch to point out that he doesn’t really believe what he said. Glad that’s all cleared up then.















Twitter is already rgulated, Look at Liam Stacey

Was just about to post that.
“The more laws are written, the more criminals are produced.” – Lao Tzu
Hugh Grant is an anagram for ‘I’m a pompous twat’
Also, “Black whore, blow me”
Shurly shome mishtake
I cannot post as I am getting a blo off a tranny.
Tweet that muthafucka
Hugh Gr’unt. FUCK OFF
On the plus side, he does have the personality of a slice of stale bread.
Twitter is regulated
Drunk Welshman, Liam Stacey who tweeted racist comments about Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba has been jailed for 56 days.
Hugh Grant should not speak to anyone without a script
Or Huge Cυnt – give or take a few letters.
HHag Grunt
Hugh who?
Hugh John Mungo Grant!
Isn’t Tabitha a name for a cat?
Oh Fuck off Hugh. Hugh.. Fuck off. Fuck off fuck off fuck off. Just fuck off.
Hugh Grant is a —- is mate is a —- —- —– All politicians are —– —–
I cant believe that David Cameron’s wife is ——- and Tony Blair —- ——

Future blogging, WHAT DO YOU THINK???
“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws”
Not as bad as chaiman Dave who said Twitter and other social networks should be switched off at times of social unrest.
Well Dave did employ noted Maoist Anita Dunn as an advisor. Perhaps she imparted some of Mao’s wisdom into Dave’s tiny mind.
“David Cameron’s call to close down Twitter during the riots could have come from any Chinese general.”
The same leftist stalinism that imprisons Englishmen for 12 months for displaying a poster in their home which could be construed as offensive to a certain religion.
The same leftist control freakery that impriosns a mother & takes her children away because she says that there are too many foreignors in the country of her birth.
Orwellian is not even close – we are in urgent need of a patriotic Conservative PM who will defend the English, our culture, our heritage, our history & our future.
The spineless Cameron will continue to kowtow to this leftist ideology that is destoying the English & will bring a backlash.
A tipping point is coming.
Oh bugger , bugger, bugger !

Actually I think the BBC quite like him
I wonder why…
Gweedo seems to have a bit of a hard on for him, presumably because he’s contributed to making Guido’s grubby sideline of selling stories to tabloids a little harder.

What a fucking sad act.
Hugh Grant has certainly made valuable contribution to the corpus of tabloid grubby stories.
We do! We do!
Twitter already falls under a number of regulations, it’s really a matter of enforcing those regulations as has been (and rightly so) with Liam Stacey.
twat.
I like the cut of your jib. Join my party!
Guessing you’re addressing me. I support locking people up for twitter comments. I am a product of new l4bour edukayshun.
Oh do feck off you pretention little tit. If Laim Stacy has been rightly sent to Jail. Tell me why a group of poppy burning mooslems only got a 50 pound fine and a slap on the wrist?
Im waiting
Neither should be sent to jail.
HOWEVER those p43do prophet followers who have signs saying “Behead those who insult iSlam” SHOULD be sent to trial as this is incitement to murder.
Only if they don’t survive the beheading.
Not sure there’s a “conspiracy to commit attempted murder”..
If you are thinking about trying to murder someone, it seems very unlikely that you are going to plan to fail by a small margin.
Cover to cover, the nutty holy book revered by these sick-heads is an incitement to murder.
All copies should be burned.
Come on!? Some of it is dedicated to abusing young boys and girls.
The people who worship the hate filled p4do, should be offered the opportunity to live in a land where such matters are normal. If they refuse the kind offer, they should be forcibly ejected. It may be harsh, but it will prevent a civil war some ye-ars down the line.
Your name will be entered on my list. The price will be called in when I am elected mayor.
Vot is your name?
Equality, innit.
Let’s hope that sword takes off your head.
Good to see someone with the spuds to put a traceable name to their comments … oh no, wait a sec.
If the law exists then it should be enforced, clearly Stacey’s case was a bit of “pour encourager les autres” and yes there’s a moral question to employing such tactics but he broke the law, complaints and charges were made and the law ran its course. That’s the way things work. If you don’t like the way things work there are legal recourses available to you.
As to some practitioners of Islam who break laws then of course they should be prosecuted too, under existing laws.
We don’t need new laws to do any of these things, Hugh Grant is wrong on that account.
Perhaps some form of these laws could be used to prosecute people whose first recourse on finding someone they disagree with is to abuse them or whinge about Islam rather than adopt constructive debate. I’d have to look into that, but I suspect to do so would be petty and vindictive.
Go with God.
Traceable name?
Not hiding behind anonymity then are we ‘Damocles’?
Twat.
I’m very traceable, anyone with a few basic skills could work out who I am and where I live with little more than an hour of work.
I know the size of my online footprint.
[Did you notice how I managed to comment without recourse to abuse?]
‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’
You, Damocles, are Chazza, and I claim my peerage.
Damocle, i take back what i said before i should of not hurled abuse. Your comment was reasonable. Apologys.
You are Rowan “Gaist”Williams and I claim my 5 Qualitative Expansion Units.
I neither “go with God” nor did I vote for him – you might as well put “Go with Tinkerbell” or “invisible 6 foot lizards”. It’s just tribalism coupled with hardwired superstition and wielded by a political elite for their own political ends. There can be no constructive debate because that presupposes there is anything constructive in the religious discourse. No evidence, no first hand irrefutable narrative, no f*cking great diamond, hovering sign over the world saying “Made by God, please see makers instructions”.
Anyone who uses religion to subdue or try to subdue another should get 5 years hard labour – same as for being in possession of an active pistol, end of rant.
Nurse is it time for my medication as I appear to have stabbed my pencil through the table again.
OK then, don’t Go with God. No worries.
I asked the question why is the law applied differently between two cases. And i do not think quoting the law represents anything with the amount of judicial militancy that has been going on for the past number of years.
There are so many cases to quote i suggest you have a look!
You know I was going to skip over your comment but then I spotted your apology above, so politeness demands. Apology accepted.
Why is the law applied differently in different cases? Because it’s applied by different people and in different ways and the law is often a quite spectacular ass.
Of course the law should be applied equally sine timore aut favore and when such transgressions of this rule occur they should be pointed out and challenged, you’ll get no arguments from me on that. Are you arguing that the Poppy Burners should have had a harsher sentence in view of Liam Stacey’s conviction or that Stacey should have had a lighter sentence in view of theirs?
You say that there are many similar cases if one looks for them, but looking for them invites reporting bias, better that someone with more time on his hands than you or I undertake a thorough review of all crimes, sentences measured against sentencing guidelines together with demographic segmentation factors of the various accused. I’m sure the results of such a study would be of interest to us all.
You offend me.
Words, whether spoken, written or made available by some or other electronic means, should not be sufficient on there own to lead to someone being imprisoned.
In Britain, we used to criticise foreign regimes for such things. It pains me immensely to see we have become that which we used to despise.
People such as you have caused us to reach this parlous state of affairs, and I despise you and all you stand for.
So if someone rang you daily at 1 am and shouted abuse at you you’d just shrug that off? Of course not. Words do not exist in a vacuum they are directed and interpreted and understandings are taken from them. Every encoding, as David Lodge wrote, has another decoding (http://wp.me/p1aRUP-3r) and as such the comments made by Liam Stacey were found, under any reasonable interpretation to be grossly offensive and an infraction of the 1988 Malicious Communications Act, section1 (http://wp.me/p1aRUP-6x). Such is the law under which we abide.
As I’ve stated above, if you are unhappy with the law then measures exist under the law by which the law can be changed should you so desire.
Wow, you’re really fucking deep. Words can be understood? No shit Sherlock.
Your blinkies would be better gone with a rusty razor @50
More like a glimpse into an empty mind.

Grant had obviously given little thought to the implications of regulating blogs.
UPDATE: Friends of Hugh get in touch to point out that he doesn’t really believe what he said.

When is this plonker going to go back to his ho?
It’s OK. We don’t really believe Hughs friends.

Spared jail:

Whereas a guy is stupid on twitter and goes to jail over that football player.
One day they will imprison people for saying they think m4ss 1mm1gr4t1on is wrong too.
Black is the new white
“Soft” racism of reduced expectations.
What’s even worse is that there wasn’t even a mention of Muamba’s race on his tweet!
There was afterwards. But SO WHAT. If he’d called him “WANKY” instead of Black this would not be a crime?
What a ridiculous law? It implies it’s insulting to have black skin.
I don’t disagree with you. Where was the saintly Shami standing up for his liberty? A total, fucking fraud !
Here’s a Youtube video of his Twitter feed.
That a weapons-grade moron like this can be a second year biology student says an awful lot about our education system.
Last time I checked however, this was not an excuse for imprisonment. We are on a very slippery slope folks.
Muslim inciting murder=OK

Yes, but think about the context – the only woman in his bedroom was holding on to a BRICK… AH, the devil is in the detail.

Its already regulated
a question why does this guy goto Jail and popy burning extremists get a 50 pound fine.
and another question what if these tweets were from a non UK citizen. Say if an American had made the tweets would the home office try to extradite them to face charges in the UK ?
Now look here, what we have with the USA is and EXTRADITION treaty, innit? When we send our citizens to the US for a show trial and banging up in Sing Sing for 40 years, that’s Extradition, right? But it wouldn’t be Extradition if we had people coming INTO the UK, would it? I mean, it stands to reason, right?
Four Weddings And Hugh’s Funeral
Murdoch’s already got Cameron. If I were Tom Watson, I would be shitting myself right about now. Then it will be your turn, Hugh. There is no escape from the Rupe.
Hopefully the legendary safe in the Sun offices will have a clearout soon…
Hey actor boy! Me so horny! Me love you long time! Ten dorra sucky sucky!
Hacked Off have told me that the man himself has since made clear he only intended to say that the existing civil law should apply to twitter as it does, not that it should be regulated as newspaper since it its a social media platform not a newspaper.
Why should comment regulation depend on the medium used?
“yeah my heart bled for him when I heard about his suffering at the hands of the public. Twenty years soplitary confinement”, I thought, “it’s nothing to the torment of thos poor soul. And all he ever wanted was to be famous and i the public eye”
Presumably “dark” is a euphemism for “simple”
Maybe its just another typo, Dork mind.
Stick a dildo up my botty! That’s what I call going down-ton!
Deviation.
No hesitation though.
Lovely name, Devine Brown.
We had a great leader who also thought he was devine. But he wasn’t, he was just a borrow, tax and spend dysfunctional misfit who was taught how to smile at the age of 57.
“I May detest what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it”
Hugh Grant’s comments were extremely reasonable. The idea that you have a free for all like the British press or Chinese controls is a false choice. There are many points along the continuum and we are at one of the extremes. Makes one wonder if Rupert has got to Guido.
Guido, if you are looking for a real story, what about Murdoch’s hacking the security systems of their competitors?
Hugh Grants epitaph should read four weddings and a funeral, or in plain speak, beneath this sod lies another.
He went up the hill a twat and came down the hill a bigger twat!
Groan… Hugh Grants epitaph should read four weddings and a funeral, or in plain sp\8ak, beneath this sod lies another.
Hugh has got into bad company. As soon as he embarked on a relationship with Chris “Y-fronts” Bryant poor old Hugh started talking utter drivel.
Grant is to lonely fat women what Ed Balls is to half trained economists
This idiot is an overindulged lovie with an inflated opinion of himself and he consorts with American suckers.
I believe that during the filming of the movie “Restoration” Robert Downey jnr. twatted Hugh Grant for being a pompous prat.
I’m getting in touch to say that dear, dear Hugh is in fact a total c u n t, as your discerning readers have already deduced!
Hugh Grant should be regulated
Hugh British-Film-Grants.
Thanks weena
For the record I was the one making slanderous comments about Hugh Grant on twitter while he was saying that.
I do hope that I am not in trouble.
Why is it that these people work at their job to become adequate actors and then think that that somehow turns them into some glorified mouthpiece for any rubbish they choose to spout.
Is he a friend of seanpenn by any chance?
SInce when did playing yourself in every film constitute acting?
Because they get chosen to go on Tele?
It goes to everyone’s head when it happens. No offense Guidos.
Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan. Both like cavorting with prostitutes. Both are very self-important. Both think people take them very seriously. Both are keen supporters of the Labour Party. Both are wrong about everything.

I had not been disposed, Mr Grant, to give an ear to the calumnies that were hurled at you by the envious and ignorant – as I thought them. Yet now, when I watch and listen with incredulity to your singular performance in the modern medium, I must perforce own that I have deceived myself. Far from being the amiable, if indecisive gentleman whom you present to your public, it seems that you are no more than a vulgar strolling player and a dunderheaded mountebank. It is, therefore, with a sense of relief and of delivery from an awful fate that I must declare our engagement to be terminated. Kindly refrain from the intimacy of any further communication.
I fink my sister means fack orf and don’t cum back, yew nonce, or I’ll fack you up so bad you’ll be pissin blood fer mumfs.
The best way to regulate Twitter would be to round-up all Twitter users and shoot them in the head, in front of their families.
who should be obliged to pay for the ordinance thus used plus an admin charge for services rendered
Hugh Grant is decidedly bitter
And wanting to regulate Twitter.
This might be fine
But thoughts of Divine

Strictly speaking “titter ” is the description of a songbird’s mating tune in early Spring .
Oh my mistake .. Hugh Grant …of course … same diffrence .

Yes – it is impossible to be elected as president in the US of A unless you believe in ME!
How fucking good is that, heathens?
All well and good that we can say that under no circumstances should Twitter be regulated, and then you have irresponsible so-called “activists” who Tweet the home address of the man accused, or to be more precise, NOT accused, in the racially-charged “standing-his-ground” killing in Florida; this, after there have been eye-for-eye calls for violence against this man by people that, shall we say, someone of the stripe of a Diane Abbott would not feel uncomfortable around.
Somehow I doubt Twitter would want in any way to be associated with the facilitation of any potential violent crime; Twitter, if informed that it is being used for such a purpose, would have a responsibility to censor lest it be charged criminally or sued for damages. This would appeer to be a no-brainer.
Grant is wooden. He can only play the oo er gosh, oo er golly, oo er golly gosh parts.
Oh Guido you twitterer !!
Can’t a chap’s thoughts turn to malevolent satire in early Spring ?
Or in Hugh’s waking moments is that not what they mean when they say
” .. the sap rises …”
It is really quite amusing watching Guido scrabbling around trying to bat all the issue away from Dave

For Goodness sake Guido if you let my last one through what on earth was wrong with the sap rising songbird context ??

No thread about New Murdoch Scandal….oh dear
Vivian White. Adding 2 + 2 and making 5. Allegations R us. No proof for anything we say. Panorama – working to launder Tom Watson’s looniest theories. Panorama – used to have a reputation for quality before they went downhill. Making programmes for Hugh Grant to watch.
The whole country has been force fed this so called ‘Murdoch Scandal’ for months, if you want even more then watch the BBC News channel as they run it 24/7.
He’s rich
He’s successful
He’s had a string of top totty
And he hates Murdoch and the Tories…..I’d have him as a dinner guest any day, and I wouldn’t expect him to pay.
He’s rich? He’s successful? He’s the very sort of person we need to eradicate.
Or at least accompany to a football match in a Rolls-Royce.
Sounds more like you would like to have him, period.
Are you Liam Fox?
This man’s brain is ruled by his testicles. Thankfully, this ‘Englishman’ has opted out of the English gene pool.
Our Hugh looks knackered on the video clip.
Hope the nice young man has not been experiencing more “Divine ” moments than are good for him .
I don’t know what the tosser who got done for had on his Twitter account, but anyone daft enough to put their real detail son Facebook or Twitter (or their face) is clearly so thick they probably vote Liebore.
The only way they can track you otherwise is via your IP address and there are ways aground that (hide IP software, use free wifi hot spots or connect via a 3G mobile bought with cash and only ever topped up with cash)
Even this shit site wants to track you now. FUCK OFF!!!
That’s odd. My Bruiser tells me that order-order.com doesn’t want to set cookies.
Hugh Grant is a loathsome luvvie twat. A carbuncle on the backside of humanity. A talentless, oleaginous, repulsive dickhead.
Also, I don’t like him very much.
What he said on Twitter was offensive, so what? Are we going to start arresting white men in inner city pubs who say the same thing across a a table?
I seem to remember a certain book telling us we’d be watched and listened to 24/7.
It is a job to know which Twit (ter) to regulate though!
Looks like Ed Balls may be suffering from an illness. Daily Mail: Mystery of horrific ‘nodding’ disease that turns children into zombies
“The condition, known by locals as the ‘nodding disease’, drastically alters children’s personalities by making them withdrawn and confused.
One of the first symptoms of the illness, affecting children in northern Uganda, Sudan and Tanzania, is that children appear to be falling asleep – their eyes close and head droops, even though they may not be tired.”
“Other symptoms include losing cognitive ability and experiencing stunted growth.”
I think you may be on to something here Johnny!
The charge (down the hill) is unfair. Grant was reluctant at the beginning of the interview to include social media for regulation and simply succumbed to Paxman’s tactics.
The scandal waiting to be investigated was in the earlier Panorama programme, with yet another set of Murdoch dirty tricks awaiting further investigation (or not) on here.
What’s wrong with poor Dear Hugh is that the boy hasn’t yet met his Queen of Hearts.
What he should do more of is “Make Some Tarts”.
It’s just frustration of a kind.
Gave an interview to The Guardian because he thinks that’s a ‘good’ paper despite being a media outlet which published and wanked over and wanked over the fact it had access to some information of which someone did a little bit of treason for. Fucking hypocritical Hunt etc. What the fuck does he think Newsnight is? Not the media?
Newsnight is the home of Paul Mason, the man who has destroyed the idea of Greece as a tourist destination.
Paul Mason, the graduate of a degree in music who is the bbc economics correspondent?
Bloody communist !
On saying that, it would explain his phone being hacked wouldn’t it ?
I suspect a fair amount of the hacking is due to Her Majesty’s most loyal of servants – ie the establishment.
He’s a talentless eunuch who had one successful film in his entire fucking life.
He’s also proof that you can have the poshest accent in the country and still talk complete bollocks on the BBC time after time.
Frankly he should count himself lucky someone even WANTED to hack his phone. I wouldn’t. He just talks utter bollocks you see. He, on the other hand, with a string of shit films and a career in the shitter, needs all the publicity he can get.
Hugh Grant? Utter Hunt!
twat!
