Comedian's Conviction Controversy
00:05:12
|
|
| Count Danglars just been convicted. | |
| He's been found guilty of causing under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. | |
| That's right. | |
| It's a crime to be grossly offensive. | |
| He'll be sentenced at two o'clock. | |
| I'd rather just spear on what I think in the fact that what he's been convicted of is telling a joke. | |
| It's a joke. | |
| He's been convicted. | |
| The judge did not accept, the judge did not believe that it was simply to annoy his girlfriend. | |
| The judge believed he purposely intended to cause mass offence. | |
| That's his purpose. | |
| Where in reality, if he did want to cause mass offence, who cares? | |
| We're not allowed to offend people? | |
| You can joke about the Irish. | |
| You can joke about the English. | |
| He said, let me go back to what he said. | |
| He said that it was grossly offensive. | |
| He's been convicted of it being grossly offensive. | |
| Three million people watched that video. | |
| Not one person made a complaint. | |
| Three million people watched the video. | |
| Not one person made a complaint. | |
| It couldn't have been that grossly offensive. | |
| And in context, it was a joke. | |
| But right now, right now, he's facing prison. | |
| So the leaders of the Jewish communities as well said that they were really upset about it. | |
| They had a lot of- Not one person made a complaint. | |
| Not one person made a complaint. | |
| He didn't make a complaint. | |
| The one person that they got a statement of is the Scottish Police hate crime representatives. | |
| They went to him. | |
| Not one person made a complaint. | |
| The judge said you have to keep in mind reasonable enlightenment of a multi-racial society. | |
| Yeah, the judge said you have to keep in mind the reasonable enlightenment of a multi-racial society. | |
| So as we become more diverse and more multicultural, you can't speak. | |
| Okay? | |
| You cannot joke. | |
| You certainly cannot offend. | |
| The description of it being a joke is not the magic one. | |
| Yeah, the description. | |
| But comedians joke about this stuff. | |
| Comedians joke every day. | |
| Comedians joke on TV shows. | |
| Comedians joke at theatres. | |
| It's a joke. | |
| It's a joke. | |
| It doesn't matter that it's a joke, no. | |
| It doesn't matter that it's a joke. | |
| I can't believe this is that judge. | |
| How anyone can't watch it and see that it's a joke? | |
| When you go through the man's history, you can see he's got no Nazi past. | |
| He's not a racist. | |
| He's a self-admitted communist. | |
| He's told you that himself! | |
| Part 3 of the defensive was the fact that he uploaded a video and edited it and it took him three days to put the video in. | |
| That's why he's a defensive. | |
| He said he should have taken the video down. | |
| And once he realised the video was offensive, he should have taken it down. | |
| It's part of our right not to offend people. | |
| So he said he didn't believe that he was offended. | |
| It's part of our right not to offend people. | |
| Yeah, the video is threatening, because apparently seeing a little dog lift its paw up under the command gas of Jews would scare people. | |
| So once again for people just joining, what's the verdict? | |
| People just joining the verdict is that Count Dangler has been convicted and found guilty under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. | |
| He will be sentenced at two o'clock. | |
| He will go back in the sentence at two o'clock where he could be sent to prison. | |
| And if you care about free speech, if you care about your rights, if you care about people who are free to joke. | |
| If you told a joke about the Irish, you wouldn't go down. | |
| You certainly wouldn't be convicted under the communications act. | |
| Anyway. | |
| I hope there's lots of Jewish people that watch this afterwards and are as offended at the fact that a man's been convicted for a joke video. | |
| David Badiel, it came out in court that David Badiel, who's one of the most famous Jews in Britain, he's the Jewish comedian. | |
| He has come out in support of Count Dankla as how ridiculous this court trial is. | |
| What this court trial is, I don't even believe, is about the fact that Jews are offended. | |
| What this is about is implementing laws that silence people and stop people talking, joking, criticising and having speech. | |
| That's what this is about, in my opinion. | |
| And think about this. | |
| We've had a man who made a joke video. | |
| He made a joke video. | |
| He's come to court, he's been convicted. | |
| We have a Kutz march every single year through our capital city. | |
| We have Hezbollah flags, which are terrorist organisations flag. | |
| We have hate preacher after hate preacher after hate preacher across this country I'm in right now who are anti-Semitic on a daily basis in their sermons in their mosques. | |
| They're not being convicted, they're not being dragged to court on hate speech. | |
| This is very selective in who they prosecute. | |
| It's selective and this is done to send a message to people to say shut up speaking, shut up criticising and shut up joking when it comes to our multiracial diverse community that we now have. | |

Freedom of Speech Verdict
00:01:04
|
|
| And the sentence is at two o'clock. | |
| So at two o'clock we'll be going back in there. | |
| He's there. | |
| Do you know what? | |
| It was quite emotional to watch because even before he was getting, even before the conviction was read out, his partner's holding her hand and I know what that's like. | |
| I know what it's like for his, I know it's like for his mum. | |
| His mum's now getting a phone call saying he's been convicted. | |
| They're all panicking and worrying that the man's going to go to jail because he made a joke video. | |
| He made a video that was a joke. | |
| Our laws are a joke. | |
| Someone's game, what was the verdict? | |
| The verdict was he's been found guilty under the Communications Act of being grossly offensive. | |
| I mentioned that they do mention freedom of speech. | |
| Yeah, they mentioned freedom of speech but said that there's no argument to it because he was offensive. | |
| Yeah, to a specific minority. | |
| How many of you people are offended? | |
| How many of you people are grossly offended when you see sermons by hate preachers or you'll see what they're saying? | |
| That doesn't matter though. | |
