Far less. This is what she posted…

"Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care, while you’re at it take the treacherous government and politicians with them. I feel physically sick knowing what these families will now have to endure. If that makes me racist so be it."

So she did called for violence against a group of people for what individuals did. The "for all I care" makes it a bit less instructive. 2 years in jail is indeed a bit crazy if that's really all there is to it. :/

Well, she's wafu of a conservative councillor. Hence the penalty is not so harsh. But really the _benevolent_ British state should reeducate her as she is crazy.

I'm not a lawyer. I'm just speaking from the gut feeling which is certainly influenced by my German upbringing where we have less free speech than in the US.

I guess, the more you restrict "hate speech", the more you sensitize the population to the issue and then even moderate speech will sound like "hate speech".

Apparently there is no clear link between hate speech laws and actual physical violence. Is "hate speech" maybe a release valve that can also prevent actual acts of violence?

There’s no such thing as hate speech
