Definitely illegal, it's inciting racial and sexual hatred

this exactly.
It's also sounding like it's inciting violence towards those who are of those racial and sexual identities.

That's what I suspected.
But isn't, say, a sick joke site doing the same? Shirley they don't get nicked.

a sick joke would presumably be delivered as such and generally doesn't incite people to kill
this is a tad different. i personally think you should post a pic of it on here.. the internet's a powerful thing, and if someone was to get caught for it, it being internetted would probably get the hate machine rolling nicely. in fact, go post it on 4chan.

Might be to do with context I guess

I see what you mean
but a joke site just tells offensive jokes, whereas this is encouraging people to act on the hatred. Also, he actively sent these letters, whereas you would have to go on the site to read the jokes.

Although I suppose having said that, if he posted the letter on a communal wall it would be just as bad. Hmmm.

Sickipedia might revel in making off-colour jokes about certain groups of people
But it never encourages us to kill the poor buggers...

Yeah, the killing bit, refers to a couple living there.
He's white, she's black, mixed race kid. As I recall, it went something like, "black white don't mix, one way boat, throw the kid off the roof." Or something equally pleasant.

Oh dear. Probably for the best that the police do know about this.
Any idea who it might have been?

Yeah, pretty much.
It's proving it innit.

True. I presume that for all his cretinous abuses of the English language
he wasn't stupid enough to sign his name at the bottom.

The lease people are checking CCTV.
So something might happen, I don't hold my breath though.

It doesn't even make sense.
Whatever happened to well educated racists?

Sikipedia is racist,
or at least has been hyjacked by a bunch of racists. I don't think you can try to justify some of the stuff on there.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 19 Oct 2010, 10:26, Reply)

Oh. Must admit I've not looked for quite a while
Though I can't say I'm surprised. Unfortunately what begins as a lot of internet types giggling at how naughty these racist/homophobic jokes are is probably going attract a volume of genuine racists who completely miss the point before too long.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 19 Oct 2010, 10:30, Reply)

the problem with sikipedia is that it's supposed to be sick
so all the jokes are unmoderated (I assume), so they can't suddenly remove just the racist ones.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 19 Oct 2010, 10:36, Reply)

That's why I don't bother with Sikipedia any more and I know a lot of others who also have stopped going there.

Example
I've just seen a n***** in Tesco serving himself using the "Self-Service Checkout",

Or, as it's more commonly known, "The Door".

288 people think that's funny.

yeah that's the reason I don't read it
for the few good jokes that are on there, there are a thousand lame or just horrible ones.
