Given that most sites are overseas any UK legislation is rendered useless.

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.

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.

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

At this rate making dirty jokes will be illegal soon.

All minority groups should be equally protected, regardless of this.

They are, but if one type of discrimination occurs more than another then it will be dealt with more often.

True - you can't move around some areas with tripping over all the Irish and Scots......

That's right, but bears no relevance to my point that anti racist legislation has traditionally taken precedence over legislation to protect other minority groups in both timing and strength.

Which of course is no more than just your perception.

To be fair, he has point.

I think many would perceive it that way

Re: Ban racists from social media, anti-Semitism report says.

The trouble is where does banning certain groups stop? I really don't believe in censoring groups or individuals because it's a very short step to banning everyone that is deemed to have the wrong ideas and opinions.Free speech has to be extended to all in a democracy.

This sounds like a very bad, very dangerous idea.
