Sounds a perfect UKIP candidate: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-po...
So he’s not just a free speech advocate afterall he’s also a bit of a racist by the sounds of it. UKIP sure know how to pick him.However I still think that prosecuting this guy like they did was wrong and a complete waste of resources.
By the same logic if you use reddit (or even PH) you are somewhere between a paedo, racist and white supremacist because other people typed stupid things.
He has made a big mistake here stepping into the political world for the same reason as he was convicted in the first place - the wider world doesn't consider context and intent, and he comes from a place with a more nuanced argument.
That piece is journalism on the level of the Sunday Sport....

He also posted memes about black people, including one implying they were thieves.
It shows a picture of film character Indiana Jones about to steal a golden relic in a cave and is captioned: "Black people. Anything that doesn't belong to them."

So far as my opinion goes, he shouldn't have been prosecuted for that joke and I can completely understand him going towards politics to campaign for free speech.
However I don't think he's the sort of person I'd give a vote to.
EU elections I definitely would, when it comes to actual political power they are meaningless anyway. But will give him a position in the main stream political culture. It's filled with far to many PC elitist idiots and could desperately do with a dose of the likes of count dankula in my opinion. However I don't think he's the sort of person I'd give a vote to.
