Scotland has gone mad.

So the last thread was closed due to a "necro"

The guy with the nazi dog has been found guilty.....

What the actual fuck? The whole thing was a fucking joke. He states in the youtube video that went viral he is going to turn his girlfriends dog into the least cute thing he could think of, a nazi.

HE IS MAKING FUN OF NAZIS.

So now, you can go to jail for offending absolutely no one.


I just want to know when Prince Harry's trial is?

One it's difficult to have sympathy with somebody that describes himself as 'Professional Shitposter. Going to jail for a joke. Anti-PC. Anti-SNP. Pro Free Speech. Edgi Boi. Scottish Nationalist. I'm not a Nazi, but my dog is.'

Secondly couldn't you have posted a news article as opposed to a shitty Twitter account

News link.

Personally, I think it's highly worrying to criminalise being offensive and very much disagree with the ruling, particularly as the target of the joke is a dog and the concept of Nazis.

Good. Antisemitism should not be tolerated. Calling a hate crime a joke does not give you a free pass.

What's his conviction though? Community service? Fine? 6 weeks in prison?

I think he finds out some time in April.

Where is the victim of this socalled crime?

Frankie Boyle currently shitting himself. But thats just because he eats too much nowadays.

This guy has been convicted of telling a joke. This actually tops my list as the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I give that dude mad props for spitting in their face the whole way through though.

The only victim is the guy getting charged for a joke, poor taste or not. Even if it wasn't a joke, as much as I disagree and dislike the statement, I still don't think that deserves jail time.

But hey, I'm just grateful we have the 1st Amendment in the states so we can avoid the whole "1984" thing going on over there.

Actually, it is heading down a dark path if it continues to accept hate speech as "it was only a joke" (wink, wink) whenever it gets discovered.

The joke is that Nazis are a bunch of yipping little dogs. It was a joke AGAINST Nazism. It isn't a very funny joke, but it wasn't offensive at all.

This is some Next level click bait

Just curious what you define as hate speech then? And a joke?

Seems like comedians should steer clear of the UK if that's the thinking there.

[Destump]

There are many UK comedians/tv shows that make fun of nazi's by dressing up like them etc. One that comes to mind is the show ,allo allo'. Should the actors in that show(some who said heil hitler VERY often) be arrested? I don't think so.

This verdict proves that the UK does not have free speech, not even close.

And there's me currently looking at properties in the Highlands... I should probably reconsider given the fact I'm a fan of Sickipedia :P

This was my first thought as well. I love Frankie Boyle. This verdict is a farce. Does this mean they will go after Monty Python as well?

Here, nobody cares when my dog does the Nazi salute.

Shit happened 50-60 years ago it's time to let go.
