Alison Chabloz, a regular attendee of Nick Kollerstrom's London
Keep Talking group, has been sentenced to eighteen weeks in prison. She had
been convicted in 2018 of "malicious communications" and received a
twenty week sentence that was suspended on condition that she did not use
social media for a year. The supposed malicious communications were some YouTube
videos of her singing satirical songs. She is a musician and used to perform on
cruises. The case began as a private lawsuit by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism,
an organization that has also been persecuting David Icke, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/08/david-icke-portal.html.
Alison has been accused of being a "Holocaust denier", believing that
the history of the death camps in Nazi Germany have been either exaggerated or
even fabricated. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-56616838.
"Horrible!" you might think? "Disgusting!",
"Evil!" You might be happy that Alison is now is jail. Then I would
ask you to think twice. Why do your feelings of disgust and offence, no matter
how severe, justify prosecuting them under the law in the most severe way
possible? This case is similar to that of Mark Meechan, known online as
"Count Dankula". Mr Meechan trained his girlfriend's dog to behave
like a Nazi, imitating Roman salutes and watching Hitler's speeches on TV. The
Scotsman was convicted under the Scottish Communications Act 2003. The video
was described as "grossly offensive!" The controversy is analyzed
best by Jonathan Pie with his classic acerbic wisdom, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti2bVS40cz0.
The problem with things being "grossly offensive" is that the very
phrase refers to something ultimately subjective. Things are not literally offensive;
a person is offended by things. Different things offend different people in
different ways. Generally Jewish people will, of course, feel more offended by
both Alison Chabloz and Mark Meechan's activities than I would, being a gentile
(One of Dankula's defenders was actually the Jewish comedian David Baddiel); but
other people will find other things offensive. Being white British I feel very
offended by so many people shrugging their shoulders at the South African
farming situation, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/08/land-seizures-in-south-africa.html.
People of a different ethnicity may well feel less hurt than me, even if they
do express some sympathy. This is a legal minefield and the laws connected to
offence should never have been passed. It has resulted in the absurd situation
of the police wasting their time investigating "non-criminal hate
incidents" whose definition is so vague they could cover just about
anything. This is an excellent commentary: https://www.bitchute.com/video/RtGXuYHwHOAG/.
These laws will inevitably be exploited to gag selectively those expressing
dissent of all kinds as this world descends further and further into
internationalism and authoritarianism. Free Alison Chabloz!
