Original Note:
Referring to people of colour as "coconuts" is racism against a protected characteristic in the UK. It has previously resulted in criminal charges. Calling Mr Corbyn a "c**t" is a widely held matter of personal opinion. Being a "c**t" is not a protected characteristic. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/teacher-coconut-placard-protests-met-police-b1120415.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12745745/amp/Woman-hunted-police-placard-Rishi-Sunak-Suella-Braverman-coconuts-teacher.html https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights
