Are you talking about the Leeds man who's been jailed for 20 months for encouraging people on social media to attack a hotel in Leeds housing migrants ?

"A video of a judge sentencing a man in Britain over comments he made on social media has been clipped to suggest the conviction centred on a remark about not wanting to give money to migrants.

Jordan Parlour, 28, from Seacroft in Leeds, pleaded guilty on Aug. 6 to using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour intending to stir up racial hatred."

Got it.

 

So if I say in London:

 

"These Muslim migrants seek to impose their anti freedom, hateful, barbaric and misogynist laws and culture on us and they should be shipped out of our country"

 

Thats OK?

Finally!  A thread for the non Americans to voice their concerns.

 

But the usual suspects are no where to be found.

 

Appears they prefer the USA with Trump.

I don't have any expertise on the topic, but my take from across the Atlantic is that it would depend on the circumstances.  The U.K. law on hate speech specifies the words must be intended to provoke violence, not merely that there's a possibility they could.  To use a classic example, shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater could result in criminal charges, but writing "Fire!" in an X or Facebook post wouldn't.  It's not the words themselves that violate the law, but their intended effect.

 

However, since the example you gave doesn't include any incitement to action, it would most likely be OK as an expression of opinion on the Internet.  If you spoke the words in London, it could depend on the circumstances and to whom you were speaking.  If someone reported your speech, the police, prosecutor or judge/jury would have to decide on your intent.
