If this is the whole story -- that is, if this guy was really arrested for a "h**e crime" for this video and nothing else, then Police Scotland has their collective head up their collective ass and the loonies have won.

Some european countries do not have the same constitutional protection of freedom of speech as we do. british law is notoriously slanted towards those claiming libel and slander, in that they require a much smaller burden of proof for claiming defamation than in the US.

The de-N**ification of Europe after World War II resulted in many laws that would be considered unconstitutional in the US.
You can even be jailed in Germany, France, and a few other European countries for simply questioning any part of the Official Government Sanctioned Historical Narrative of a certain unmentionable historical event.


“Goebbels was in favour of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favour of free speech, then you’re in favour of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favour of free speech.” Noam Chomsky

Yeah, Salon is a rag, but on this article they actually posted the video which other's didn't.

The article is not political, so Salon had no reason to lie and exaggerate.
