They too will be policed using the relevant legislations.

I think anyone with even an ounce of common sense will agree more people have died due to racism/xenophobia than other types of discrimination.

I think you'll find people resident in the UK who post illegal material anywhere, irrespective of where sites are hosted, can be, have been and will continue to be subject to UK law.

IMHO if it's not incitement to violence it shouldn't be banned at all.
