Famous racist Azealia Banks to be prosecuted for hate

Azealia Banks could be prosecuted if she continues to make insulting remarks about Irish people, a barrister has suggested.

Barrister Tomas McGarvey tweeted that the singer could be prosecuted under the 2003 Communications Act for her remarks.

“Hi #azeliabanks in light of your recent comments on #instagram about Irish women & Irish people generally, perhaps I can introduce you to the #CommunicationsAct2003 (s127) before you land in England. If you keep up the insults, you may end up with first-hand experience,” he said.

He included a screenshot of section 127 of the Communications Act 2003. Under the act, a person is guilty of an offence if he or she sends by means of a public electronic communications network a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing nature.

You know the difference between a Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?

One less drunk Irishman at the funeral....

Do you guys have accounts at this place. I have never even heard of them. They must not have any branches in Canada.

Mr McGarvey suggested Banks could be prosecuted for two tweets about Irish people suggesting they “continue to inbreed”

So simply stating scientific fact is illegal now?

I'm just happy the rediculas over compensation for racism is finally reaching out to make amends with the folks from the Emerald Isle.
