Is there free speech in Belfast?

Well, that misses the mark by a thousand miles. Most of the German people were indifferent and much too concerned with their own survival and safety to care one way or the other. They weren't murderous but cowards, but I don't want to sound judgmental, since I don't know what I would do under the same circumstances.

The European laws actually differ very much when it comes to hate speech. Some more liberal, some more oppressive, as is shown with the case on hand.
