Title: 3 years in prison for "hate speech" Post by: Walk on October 07, 2006, 11:32:50 AM http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,1889311,00.html
Yet at the same time, Londonistan is full of Christ-haters who burn effigies of the pope. The UK is a police state compared to the US, and that is really saying something. The British need to take their Britian back. Free speech sure is great here; you guys really ought to consider an amendment for it. ;) Title: Re: 3 years in prison for "hate speech" Post by: Skeletor on October 07, 2006, 11:45:17 AM Quote When he was arrested in September, officers also found 33 images of child pornography on his computer. Well, that does merit jail time, but as for getting two years and eight months over posts on a message board... Couldn't they just give him some negative karma points? :hihi: Title: Re: 3 years in prison for "hate speech" Post by: Walk on October 07, 2006, 11:49:41 AM Well, ironically, the kiddy porn should have sent him to a labor camp for life (or ol' sparky, perhaps ;)), but it isn't fair that they searched his computer over his comments.

I think there's a slight difference. And I live in London,and pretty much say what I want.

I think there's a slight difference. And I live in London,and pretty much say what I want. Free speech is free speech. Someone burning an effigy of the pope is far more offensive to more people than racist comments. Not condoning either act, but there's no accounting for taste.

Being jailed by the "love all rainbow police" for saying something crude (and this was a disgusting ranting) however seems like something stright out of the Castro "you will embrace liberalism or die" playbook Title: Re: 3 years in prison for "hate speech" Post by: AtariLegend on October 09, 2006, 02:30:34 PM People don't get it there a major difference between Britain, and the rest of mainland Europe.
