Man jailed for posting racist video clips on YouTube

[Mr Gribbs]

A man has been jailed for 15 months for uploading racist video clips on to YouTube.
Gareth Hemingway, 29, of Bognor Regis, earlier pleaded guilty to five offences under the Public Order Act at Leeds Crown Court.
The clips called for a "racial holy war" and were designed to provoke violence against ethnic minorities, particularly in Dewsbury.
When he was arrested, police found Nazi and racist memorabilia at his home.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the material came to the attention of police when a journalist researching Dewsbury on the internet came across videos Hemingway, of Longford Road, had posted and reported them.
Racist imagery
The CPS said they included titles such as 'red, white and blue through and through' and 'Dewsbury needs help'.
They also featured racist references and imagery including an assault on a black man by a white man.
Stuart Laidlaw, reviewing lawyer for the CPS, said: "Gareth Hemingway decided to use the very public forum of YouTube to distribute videos of racist and inflammatory nature which he had edited, and which were designed to provoke violence against ethnic minorities, particularly those living in Dewsbury.
"They called for a 'racial holy war', described acts of violence and made supportive references to far right groups such as Combat 18 and Patriots of White European Resistance."
Mr Laidlaw added: "Freedom of speech carries with it responsibilities.
"Publishing something that is abusive and insulting and that is likely to stir racial hatred is against the law and the CPS will work with the police to prosecute robustly anyone who does so."

Isn't it Orwellian to have the police raid your house and throw you in prison for saying mean stuff on the Internets?

^no such thing as freedom of speech in the UK.

[Mr Brown]

Inciting racial hatred is abusing your right to freedom of speech. Seems a bit strange though to say that after seeing the hatred spilt by the muslins on rememberence Sunday

[Mr Gribbs]

^no such thing as freedom of speech in the UK.

Then they should shut their mouths about the death penalty and shit going on in other countries, because "freedom of speech" is considered a human right under article 19 of the Universal Decleration of Human Rights!

[dirtydog]

^I doubt the death penalty is considered a human right.

[Mr Brown]

I'm glad you put the warning sign on the topic. I nearly posted my latest video on you tube of my white is right sermon

Surely he has the right to say whatever he likes.
What say you Moog?

[DrAndy]

Surely he has the right to say whatever he likes.

he does, and has the right to suffer the consequences

"Freedom" is a "right" granted only within the boundaries decided by who is in power within the society where you live and breathe.

Everyone is free to die or be killed by a ruling or "moral" class in the name of a chosen "god" or prophet/profit.

[Rural Surin]

Eric Arthur Blair was insightful beyond his days.....we didn't take the heed.

"Thought Crime"

Orwell's book comes to pass. Closeting racism won't make it go away, just helps it fester.

In Australia you only have the right to total freedom of speech if your aboriginal, moslem or of a minor ethnic group ( Americans are excluded even though a minor ethnic group in Australia).
If your white and of Anglo Saxon background any criticism by you of any of the above will result in charges of racism.

Why should there even be consequences for speaking ones mind?

[Ripley]

^ But there is reaction (consequences) for every action, as this forum demonstrates perfectly in matters of discussion.

Because of political correctness, often under the guise of fear.

PC is inherently mad, since it is designed to appeal to people with serious mental deficiencies. PC makes it perfectly acceptable to go beyond reason, outrage common sense and decency, and create slaves whose primary function is to preserve a defunct ideology which causes the madness of one to drive others mad.

We ban toy pigs and piggy banks, posters of bikini clad women and mixed gender swimming, we prohibit our children from singing nursery rhymes that may be deemed offensive, then we build mosques inside prisons, rename pubs, recall manufactured goods by the million, and now put people in prison - all this and more to avoid offending Muslims. It is madness, and yet at the very heart of political correctness and "multiculturalism", is the myth that Muslims are perpetual victims, the West is always the aggressor, that anyone who doesn't fawn on Muslims is a bigoted Islamophobe, and that stooping to appease Muslims is rational and worthwhile.

Before the invention of political correctness, great civilisations never allowed themselves to be threatened by petulant pipsqueaks. The natural state of political correctness is loopy, with weak minded individuals thriving on other weak minds. It is a form of madness, turns truth upside down, dismisses reality, and rewrites history to suit the narrative.

It is long overdue for free people to wake up and reject PC in all of its forms, and the Leftist/Apologist/Islamic supremacist mantra, the fraudulent charges of racism, fascism, bigotry and Islamophobia against decent people, and the demonisation of truth and common sense. These people, which include our own leaders, are frightened individuals that endorse the evils of Islam because Muslims make more noise and are prone to violence at a moment's notice.

Honest and decent people are too often put on the defensive by Muslims weaned on lies and depravity, with support from the ideologically driven useful idiots that believe the enemy of their enemy must be their friend. They feed the croc in the hope it eats them last. Don't let that happen to you.

Engage them in debate and show them up. They are closed to civil debate on any number of topics, and their favoured tactic for those that disagree with them is to bring out the labels of racist, xenophobe, or the TD inbred's favourite, bigot. This is because they know they cannot debate rationally, so they set up strawmen and false comparisons, throw the Islamaphobia and bigot labels around, and run off sniggering to their equally retarded buddies.

I did not watch the video in question, but in a sane world it could not be compared with the 'hate crime' of Islam.

Stay on the side of truth and progress, and against the madness of Islam and its mentally ill practitioners.

And the people who hurled abuse at a judge in an English court of Law, are not Charged, what a Fking joke. The police in the UK are racist towards non muslims one law for us another for the Rag heads.

It's a strange way to gain patriotism, but in reading this forum and those like it, I've learned and appreciated that bad as it may be, America is not nearly as screwed up as Britain and much of Europe.

Unthinkable that you do not have freedom of speech in Britain.

Agreed, though the US is also moving towards unashamed liberalism and to hell with common sense, they are still way behind the suicidal Eurotards.

Wait until you try Australia! - "when in doubt , race card out!"

Free speech, as a principle, has always and will always have boundaries.

You can't slander an individual without consequences, and rightly so.

Spreading malicious falsehoods about a group of people, who are likely then to suffer as a consequence, is also rightly illegal. What constitutes a falsehood, and whether or not the group are likely to suffer, is a matter for society to judge and is therefore subjective depending on the society in question.

[Smug Farang Bore]

YEH why don't the poppy burnin muzzies shouting their race hate and waving their plaques get a bit of jail....?

[Stinky]

The right to freedom of speach isn't enforced even handedly in the UK, like so many other things in PC-UK it's enforced with a heavy slant on the positive discriminatory interpretation of the law.
That's not to say that this person didn't need punishing for his crime but as you've rightly pointed out about the poppy burning incident, the dice are loaded in the ethnic minority favour.
