And here was me thinking that this would be a thread about Michael Savage being banned from the UK.

Instead, I get an article citing two cases, each which happened 7 and 3 years ago respectively, and each where the people were released and later cleared.

The fact that these people were freed shows that they didn't break the laws set fourth by the Government, rather that other people misinterpreted them (particularly the school incident).

If it really was a Government initiative, don't you think they would have gone after some larger fish? Like the BNP, for example. Or some of the more right-winged news papers.

 

 No, those were just examples, which regardless was ridiculous in the first place for them to be arrested.

Now, the point of the article was to show how the British people are loosing their freedom of speech and the ridiculous of how a politically incorrect joke,ect can land you up to 7 years in jail.

But a politically incorrect joke won't land you in jail for 7 years. Hell, if we actually had these policies the BNP (British National Party) will NOT exist. Simple as that, and yet it does.

The head of the BNP is a man called Nick Griffin. An anti-semite, a holocaust denier, and a general, all round, arsehole. And, yet, he's allowed not only to say what he wants, but he often gives speeches rallying up other people, he heads a fucking political party that actually have nationalist bullshit in their manifesto. He did get arrested a few years ago because he was suspected of rallying people up to go out and basically kick the shit out of any immigrant they found, but he walked out of court a free man (despite tonnes of video evidence that went on to be broadcast on the BBC).
