Tom Acton was just sixteen when he committed suicide. He had been upset for some time after rumours were posted online about him being a sex offender. He had also been assaulted.
The thug who assaulted him has escaped a prison sentence, and so far as I can make out nobody has been prosecuted for spreading the rumours which led to the assault and to the suicide.
Compare this with the treatment of Liam Stacey. He posted an offensive comment about someone online, then deleted it once he realised he had caused offence. His target was a grown man who was unlikely to kill himself because of just one short-lived nasty comment. Nevertheless Stacey was prosecuted and jailed.
The difference of course is that Stacey made a racially abusive comment about a black man (Fabrice Muamba). I do not condone his stupidity, but a prison sentence was surely an overreaction on the part of the authorities - but such is the way of things as Britain slides ever deeper into the morass of communism.
Far more serious however is the failure of the authorities to protect Tom Acton. Tom was not the first young person in this country to commit suicide as a result of internet bullying, and I do not expect that he will be the last.
If you value the lives of Britain's teenagers, then stop voting Labour or Tory or LibDem. Those parties are led by communists who will always put their ideology above innocent human life.
