He did, however I would caution you to make it clear you are nailing your sympathy to the principle rather than the person. I suspect his background may undo the case you are trying to make.

That’s bullshit
@stephenfry. The point about “context and intent”, basis for common law standards of culpability like “mens rea” is valid, BUT NOT IN THIS CASE where the context is explicit from the words used. Regardless of context crimes against humanity are NOT A FUCKING JOKE -
PLEASE take the time to read this “style guide” for the Daily Stormer - the key strategy of White Supremacists is to appear as though they are self-deprecating, and to use satire when all they really want is “to kill Jews”https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/daily-stormer-nazi-style-guide_us_5a2ece19e4b0ce3b344492f2 …

Are you seriously implying that he is a white supremacist?
-
No, but this piece serves the whole point of white supremacist propaganda, which is ‘to humanize inhumanity. “to the point where people are ready to laugh at their deaths.”’ In the words of the Daily Stormer’s Andrew Anglin

Anglin on the use of humour and satirising negative stereotypes of racists, “This is obviously a ploy and I obviously do want to gas kikes. But that’s neither here nor there”
-
Obviously the Pie routine is intended to be Python-esque etc satire, and the point about context and intent is *generally* valid, but unfortunately (and I presume unintentionally) it aligns perfectly with propaganda objectives of White Supremacists.

He has indeed nailed it; and ALL he says AND what it really means should be understood and endorsed, in plain language, by anyone who prizes free expression and individual liberty.
-
Actually it's shit and he sucks
-
And I shall always defend your right to say so, no matter how crass or offensive some may think your pronouncements are. Me included, tbh.... well, re the 'crass' bit, anyway. Winnie the Pooh could likely best you in a 'be offensive' competition.
-
It's shite and he's a bad and unfunny comic, you don't need to defend my right to call the bad comic bad
-
Which one? Dankula or Pie? As far as either's talent as comedians goes, I'd agree. They're virtually 'alternative', which let's face it appeals only to retarded, starey eyed left-Borg fuckwits braying like Labour conference attendees at every dogma-compliant pc twattery on offer

Lmao you okay mate?

Yes uphold the right to make antisemitic threats under the thin veil of "satire"

-
You are part of the problem! Believe it or not there are kids today who do not even know about the gas chambers -the war -the relevance of free speech. They may now know in part thanks to that joke .There was no threat in that pug video.

He's palling around with the former head of the EDL, what are you talking about
-
Who are the edl? Who is TR now ? What was his message have you even looked? Or just brandishing racist at anyone you think may have crossed your moral line?
-
lmfao Tommy Robinson's real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a posh boy masquerading as working class. His entire existence revolves around racism you absolute ignorant sack of sht Mel
-
I think you are the ignoramus Bobby.If you are so confident he is racist please point me to a tweet or interview or statement and prove it.
-
Just read the history of the EDL, or look at his timeline, you pathetic fascist cnt
-
There might be nothing convincing you otherwise, But... Do that research youself. Listen to his speach at Oxford (youtube). I still do not like his approach sometimes, but I at least understand his frustration. Please try to at least listen to his own words.
