A Chester woman has denied having an offensive bumper sticker on her car and will face a trial in the spring.
Georgia Venables, 29 and of Prenton Place in Chester, pleaded not guilty to one charge of displaying threatening/abusive writing/sign/visible representation likely to cause harassment/alarm/distress at Chester Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
CPS prosecutor Valeriya Tonkinson told the court that on January 8 this year, the defendant was seen travelling on Deva Link with a bumper sticker that said ‘Don’t be a cunt’.

This could be such an interesting trial.
First the procecution will need to prove that the majority of readers will feel harrased or offended by the word cunt.
So this shuuld lead to a discussion of meaning.
At this ppinr we can hope the defence points out.
Procecuting someone for expressinf a non violent request to be good to humanity. Definatly counts.
“And anyone who feels harassed by this sticker is probably a bit of a cunt!” And so rests the case for the defence.
Now the fun part.
Where the prosecution aregues being a cunt is a legally protected privilege. So telling folks not to be is offensive.
At some point ideally. But how can we protect politicians from this offence. Becomes a major news event.
And witnesses for the defence: Nigel Farage and Jeremy Clarkson because no-one could argue they don’t deserve to be called “cunts” as often as possible.
The sign isn’t rude at all. It’s not calling you a cunt; it’s simply suggesting that you shouldn’t be one. A subtle, but vital distinction.
And they are suing her because they are cunts and took offense.
So… They saw her bumper sticker and thought “you can’t tell me what to do” and proceeded to be a bunch of cunts?
I think that sums up the defence she’ll use in court.
Basically
same energy
Don’t be a sea stars
This post must have the highest density of the word cunt so far in this community/instance.
