UK Sandwich Shop Owner Arrested for Mandela Joke
December 9, 2013 by Daniel Greenfield 28 Comments

A sandwich shop owner endured eight hours of questioning by police and had his computer seized for three weeks – after making tasteless Nelson Mandela jokes on the internet.

Neil Phillips, who runs Crumbs in Rugeley, Staffordshire, says he was also finger-printed and DNA-swabbed after officers received complaints about what he insists were harmless gags.

In one online post, the 44-year-old wrote: ‘My PC takes so long to shut down I’ve decided to call it Nelson Mandela.’ (My personal remark:  )

‘When they took my computer, I thought, “what the hell are they looking for?” To be questioned would have been over the top, never mind arrested.’

You can question the taste, but they’re not hateful. I told the police they got plenty of “likes”. What happened to freedom of speech?

What did happen to freedom of speech? The left happened to it. And it did to freedom of speech what it does to everything else.

I heard a good Mandela joke.

President Obama walks into a funeral parlor & eulogizes Mandela, saying what a great leader he was and an inspiration. He goes on to say that he wishes he could walk the very same path as Mandela just did...and, like a sign from God, is struck dead as he speaks...allowing for him to be buried alongside his communist-backing hero.
