I’ve never liked Ricky Gervais but I agree with him on this. "If you don't believe in a person's right to say things that you might find 'grossly offensive', then you don't believe in Freedom of Speech."

Too much is being made of someone "offended".
Just about everything in the world is offensive to someone so there needs to be some way or level of offence before plod even get near. One person is ludicrous as purported by AH.
No, this *** should not go to jail and leave the video up to show the World what a spanner he is.

My point was not about one person being offended, it was about one person being offended, and taking action, which is what has happened here.
Offending people is a risk people take every day. Offending people who can then take legal action against you is something else entirely.

Indeed it shouldn't, which is why, in this instance, it wasn't.
The law was not 'forced' into anything.
The law was applied because it was broken, and appropriate action was taken.
The notion of offence may have triggered the action, but it does not affect or influence the law in any way.

No, he shouldn't.
What confuses me is that they seem to have reached the sentence despite saying that the video is not hate speech. They said that the reason they gave the verdict was that he (allegedly) left it there to draw people to other content which was hateful. But if he's on trial for the dog video and not the other stuff, surely the sentence doesn't seem valid?
