Do British people have Freedom of Speech? Nope.

I had an argument with a few morons concerning this case, seems liberals don't think this is a Freedom of Speech issue. Idiots one and all.

Not really sure how this is "racist", being jewish is a choice, not a race. More fucking idiots.

If I were in the British military I'd be done right about now. Britain is lost, but we already knew that.

Enjoy being "ruled" by the socialist wealthy elite. And don't call on us again for your freedom, we're done helping idiots.







Man who filmed dog giving Nazi salutes fined £800
Mark Meechan posted footage on ******* of pug responding to ‘sieg heil’ by raising its paw

A man who filmed a pet dog giving Nazi salutes before posting the footage online has been fined £800.
Mark Meechan, 30, recorded his partner’s pug responding to statements such as “gas the Jews” and “sieg heil” by raising its paw before posting the footage on ******* in April 2016.
He was found guilty of posting material that was “grossly offensive” and “antisemitic and racist in nature” in breach of the Communications Act, in an offence aggravated by religious prejudice, following a trial at Airdrie sheriff court.
Meechan had claimed he made the video as a joke to annoy his partner and raised issues about freedom of speech. Speaking outside the court, he said that the decision set a dangerous precedent.

Dozens of supporters of Meechan, including former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson, were at the court for the hearing on Monday.
Sheriff Derek O’Carroll, sentencing Meechan, said the video was grossly offensive and that his girlfriend did not even subscribe to the channel he posted it on.
He said: “The centrepiece of your video consists of you repeating the phrase ‘gas the Jews’ over and over again as a command to a dog, which then reacts.
“You use the command ‘sieg heil’, having trained the dog to raise its paw in response and the video shows a clip of a Nuremberg rally and a flashing image of Hitler with strident music.
“You say the video was only intended as a joke to upset your girlfriend, whose dog you used, and nothing more.
“On the whole evidence, including your own, applying the law as made by parliament and interpreted by the most senior courts in this land, I found it proved that the video you posted, using a public communications network, was grossly offensive and contained menacing, antisemitic and racist material.”

Uh, no.

"Jewish" can refer both to a religion (which I'm presuming you are referring to as a "choice") and an ethnicity.

A person cannot chose their ethnicity.

A whole bunch of people were killed in the holocaust because of their jewish ethnicity, who were not practicing adherents of Judaism the religion.

But you are correct, most Europeans have less robust "freedom of speech" protections than we do as Americans. Is their system better? Worse? I can't say, but it works for them.

"an ethnic group; a social group that shares a common and distinctive culture, religion, language"



The same thing can be said about any tribe, group, association, gathering, religious cult/myth/believers. And would make any/all of the two thousand religious myths of the world “ethnic” groups.

“jewish ethnicity” is right up there with “hate speech” it’s just a label to embolden their followers (and haters) and alert the world of their perceived status and world standing.

I’ll not partake............

Believing in a myth does not make an ethnic group. Don’t really care how one labels it. Calling the jewish cult/religion an ethnic group only enhances their professed world status.

This makes the NRA, Army, Navy, Marines, a Square dance club, Sex Cult, Furries, NASCAR etc ethnic groups.

I’d just call them what they are, a “social group” and not “water down” the facts.

One is not born a jew, muslim, christian, satanist, Furry, NRA member, democrat, etc. (And I’m sure all will tell you different....) One chooses to partake of that social group.

That said one born in a geographic location is in fact a “citizen” of that country.

Let me know when the “jew” gene is found, or the muslim, christian, satanic, or Furry gene…..

One is born into a race, not a belief.

First of all, there is not a "Jew gene". FWIW, there is not a specific gene that identifies people from the African continent, either (either those still living there, or those brought here as slaves 200 years ago)

However, if you want to talk genetics, I WILL tell you that Ashkenazi Jews have several genes in different frequencies than Eastern Europeans who lived around them for thousands of years - for example, there are several genetic diseases that are almost unknown except amongst the Ashkenazi.

Even if they don't go to Temple.

Even if they don't CHOOSE to have those genes.

I'm sorry, boss, I have to say, not only are you wrong, but science says you're wrong. Jewish ethnicity is not a "choice" any more than Armenian ethnicity is....

Again, with that “ethnicity” word. And again, it can apply to just about any “social group” of individuals on the planet. The labels are just semantics, one can categorize a group of individuals with any identifier/tag they wish.

eth·nic·i·ty

the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

Race is associated with biology, whereas ethnicity is associated with culture.

What’s missing is the biological link such as race. And yes I’m sure that the Ashkenazi Jews share genes as do many in the jewish faith. That what happens when individuals share the same social construct for centuries.

Jew·ish
relating to, associated with, or denoting Jews or Judaism.

Ethnicity is the term for the culture of people in a given geographic region, including their language, heritage, religion and customs. To be a member of an ethnic group is to conform to some or all of those practices.

Jewish is not a race, it’s a culture, belief, a social group.

Spend enough time together even the Furries will begin to share genes.

And in keeping with this thread, calling someone a racist for hating someone else’s “culture” is unintelligent and dead wrong. But it’s the left-wing/socialist way to do business.
