How about you spend 6 months in prison for some belief of yours the government doesn’t like...

Ok....I guess I need to clarify my point for you. To call 6 months in 'prison' is not "prison-time (in the big house)" by any conventional definition. In the US (not sure about the UK) no one is ever even sent to a legit prison unless its a minimum sentence of 1-year and most jail birds can spend up to 3 years in county. This guy is NOT facing "prison". That said, ANY jail time for what this guy stands accused of (according to the story) is a violation of freedom of speech for sure and is totally unjust.

Does that work for you? If not, I apologize for offending your fragile sensibilities.

Well said. Unfortunately, the UK does not have a First Amendment. Then again when a presidential candidate is fined for something on his campaign website and may face jail if he defies an unconstitutional gag order, not sure we really have a First Amendment anymore either.
