The trouble with name-calling being made a crime is that it won't be long before calling somebody a gammon is included in the list of proscribed terms. It easily meets the ridiculous identity-politics test used to synthesise these non-criminal crimes, since it codes for both race and gender (the thought police seem comfortable with the cognitive dissonance of simultaneously believing that both of those things are social constructs which should be consigned to the dust bin of history)
I'm seldom sufficiently stirred to need to consider insulting anybody, but occasionally being called a 4-eyed poof is a price I'm willing to pay to keep the option open.
