Toben Martyred

Frederick Toben has now been jailed following an unsuccessful appeal against his conviction for contempt of court perpetrated by Toben not taking down anti-semitic statements from his website in accordance with a court order.

Some may say that his jailing is for contempt rather than for exercising his right to say what he pleases. This shallow analysis ignores the fact that it was precisely his continued publication of the offensive speech which constituted the contempt. This is merely a difference in legal terminology, not a difference in impugned conduct.

Sadly we live among the dying embers of the enlightenment, when hard-won freedoms are being rolled back by priggish PC censors. Now society is being made to conform to a new religion, a new set of irrational beliefs inflicted on us to protect the sensitivities of the liberal elite.

This is much more sickening than anything Toben said.
