Is it still an offence to use abusive language over the public

Was it ever? It is/was an offence to transmit obscene language
(wireless) at one time, but I'd guess that is rarely enforced these
days. ;-)


What do you think malicious calls are and how they are treated?


You don't know the difference between malicious and abusive?

If I called you a c**t - that's abusive.
If I call you a thieving c**t - that's malicious.


Doesn't it depend on whether it's true or not?
