    Come on, you shouldn't have to Google this if you know what you are talking about.
    What did he do to breach the act?

    Where the hell are you going with this? Direct quote from the judge: "Despite that the accused made a video
    containing anti-Semitic content and he would have known it was grossly offensive to many Jewish people."

    Why is it whenever folk try and make the argument that we in the UK are gagged and that we don't have freedom of speech, the only examples they can come up with are the total phucking mongers like Meecham and that other wanker Yaxley-Robinson? I'm quite happy to have the freedom of those people to be a infantile loud mouthed racist kunts to be curtailed....and if that makes others a bit twitchy then tough titty....:)

    And that's something you would support is it?
    You have no problem with inciting racial hatred?

    Because those are the cases which have been misrepresented by the American right wing media.

    No, but I support the right to say it. The problem with people like you is that you assume that supporting the right to say something is agreeing with the content of what is being said. Very strange.

    Depends what you mean by "inciting." As in inciting violence?

    Sure, but it doesn't matter how much misrepresentation there was, at the end of the day, it was clear what happened in those cases - it's still someone getting in trouble for causing offence.

    Why do you post on this forum if you are unhappy with your rights for freedom of speech being threatened?
    By agreeing to the rules of this forum you are condoning the rights of the moderators to apply arbitrary rules of censorship on its members without any checks and balances or having prior debate as would have been expected in any any civilised society. I can only assume that by agreeing to the rules of the forum and thus the obligation on you to abide by the lack of freedoms applied herein that you either didn't understand what you were signing up to, you don't actually give a crap about freedom of speech or you are merely trolling? If you didn't understand the rules then please read them and you will see what sort of freedoms you actually don't have and if you did read them and did understand them then what the phuck are you wittering on about because you are arguing against something which you agree with!!?? If you are just trolling then I'll report you to the gestapo and they will ban you because you have no right to say what you want or incite any malarchy on this forum.....:p:):)

    I was talking about the UK, not my freedom of speech.

    "Malarchy." What are you, Joe Biden? :roflol:

    Presumably, if enough restrictions were placed on speech in the UK, at some point you would take issue with it and speak out. Am I right?

    Very few people in the UK had a problem with the prosecution of count dankula. We saw it for what it was, a ''comedian'' trying to increase the profile of his youtube channel by making grossly offensive remarks about the Holocaust. That is a ''freedom'' we are perfectly happy to be denied.
    This wasn't about opposition to the government being denied.

    Which polling are you referring to? Or are you just assuming this?

    That is a ''freedom'' which YOU are perfectly happy to be denied.

    Who said it was that? Also, you still haven't said that you mean by "inciting."

    How the hell was Meechan doing that? And I see that you have failed to provide polling data! Clearly then, it is your assumption!

    By repeating the phrase ''do you want to gas the Jews?'' over 30 times.
    As far as I know, there was no polling conducted. If you can find any please feel free to link to it.

    who knows? I accept the draconian freedoms denied me here so I would probably not miss them anywhere else I guess....after all they are designed to make all members respect the rights and sensibilities of all other members; therefore I can accept these restriction with equanimity.... as it seems can you since you are still here...unless of course you have spoken out against the freedoms you are denied here on this forum?
    Have you done that?

    No, probably not....thus the issues surrounding this noisome plank Meecham and his penchant for stuff like this....
    upload_2020-4-29_12-56-56.png
    amongst other equally and far more nasty social postings is something that you would agree should be censored.

    Thus what is your purpose here? Are you just trolling because you actually offer nothing to the debate other than lighting fires under other people posts. Are you trying to make me uncomfortable with having people like this denied the right to insult and demean other people for their own self satisfaction....well....as I said earlier...tough titty mate....

    This cannot be attributed to Meecham.

    You asked, "so you defend his right to allow people to purvey stuff like this?" I would've understood if you'd asked, so you defend his right to purvey stuff like this? However, you added, "to allow people."
