UK jails another for saying offensive things on the internet

He pleaded guility and I don't see any freedom of speech justification for this.

A jail sentence was possibly an over-reaction though.

You don't seem to value freedom of speech much.

Freedom of speech does not equal offensive jokes about a possibly murdered young girl.

So what does "freedom of speech" include? Do you not see the contradiction here? Speech is not actually free the way you envision it.

Here's another one I feel a bit uneasy about.  Stupid and offensive, yes, but 8 months in jail?

4 months of that was for breaching of a suspended sentence for cannabis possession.

Ah much better, only 4 months for the "offensive behavior" then.
