Apparently he could get 6 months in jail.

UK or USSR? Hard to tell the difference these days.

They sure are about the same.

BTW, saw photos of Ms. Hillary and B. Obama giving the Nazi salute. But I doubt UK would hold it against them.

I won’t take a position on whether the particular statements constitute one of the very limited types of speech that are not constitutionally protected. What I will say is, go find and watch the offending video. The guy repeats the command “gas the Jews” over and over again while cajoling his girlfriends dog. And I will say, there was nothing funny about it at all, so please don’t use expressions such as “oh, they outlawed humor”. The guy is laughing and he thinks its funny, but it just isn’t.

Worse than a terrible failed attempt at humor is that he posts this video on the internet, where millions of people can and did watch and listen to the phrase “gas the Jews” over and over again as something intended for laughter. As the son of a Holocaust survivor who evaded the gas chambers at Majdanek by the skin of his teeth, I find it sick and disgusting. As it lowers the bar for repeated exterminationist language, I believe it serves to bring actual violence against Jews closer and I would have no problem making specific language like that illegal.

Stupid brits have no sense of humor. Pathetic excuse of western civilization.
