Court overturns ban on French comic Dieudonne

Dunno anything about his other convictions, but in some cases you're better off letting the d1ckheads just talk instead of going after them. You're only walking into their trap.

He has a right to free speech as does Nick Griffin or David Cameron. Though if he breaks the law he should suffer the consequences.

In France (and it Germany I think?), it's against the law to deny that the holocaust happened. A lot of right wing extremists (inc. Dieudonne) have been trialled because of this law.

The article has been updated to say the ban has been reinstated.

Quite rightly too, in my opinion.

You can say what you like as long as I agree with it.

Yes, the same here. Nothing that glorifies the National Socialists is allowed in the media, no memorabilia (Mein Kampf - my struggle/fight - is also banned).

Any hate speech is illegal and neo-national socialist parties are illegal.
