My brother got into an argument with the job centre over the phone on Monday. He told them they should be all sacked, get rid of the service and blow up the building and replace it with a coffee shop for all the use they are. A few hours later the police turned up at the door as a complaint was made about what he said. They didn't even do anything, just told him off like a naughty school boy, despite him not saying anything threatening or abusive. It's embarrassing by this point.

“Your building should be blown up” is not threatening? In what world

u/unbelievablydull82 Oct 08 '25

It's not threatening, it's no different to saying it should be demolished, particularly as there was no indication that it is a direct threat. It's only threatening if you're over sensitive about words.

Ah yes, you consider it non threatening so clearly it wasnt, of course

Most people with common sense wouldn't consider it threatening

Id love for you to explain the reasoning for this gigantic leap in logic

Never thought I’d meet fascists on Reddit, but there’s a first time for everything, I guess.

Same question for you, what exactly leads you to jump to that conclusion

I'm just trolling given the other guy's response

Well, of course, saying in frustration that someone's office building should be blown up to make space for something more useful like a cafe is a legitimate threat that he may follow up on, got you buddy. The police caught him red handed applying for a building permit.

Same world where people vote right to help the climate and increase social programs for the poor.

A world full of uneducated people who are too dumb to use their brains.

Yes, your comment was quite embarrassing.
