This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does england have laws forbidding "hate speech" on websites and if so who would one contact regarding such?

Not specifically as far as I'm aware.  There are laws against inciting racial violence and the like which could probably be applied online, but it would likely be a high publicity trial and I'm not aware of anyone doing so so far.

Lawbag

is this request in relation to anything specific?

The Great White Records site and BNP are both British sites hosted in England.  But neither of them are anywhere near as racist as some of the stuff in the states.

Aaaah.  Pleading the fifth there I think.  If you remember a while back, Dominus made a couple of comments about how the Klan are actually fine upstanding members of the community.

You wouldn't be looking for a new place to host a site would you Dom?

Since when thr fuck did I ever say that ther KKK were "Fine upstanding members of the community"?

I said I respected them more than the PC crowd who decries "racism" and "prejudice" and "discrimination" and "hate" out of one side of their mouths while practicing all of the above against people they deemto be acceptable targets of such abuse, like overweight people, rednecks, nerds, geeks, etc.

I said that the KKK was less hypocritical and more honest than the hollywood types, which they are. I said that they had the courage to hate who they choose for the reason they choose instead of hating those who were deemed 'safe targets' by the PC zeitsmode like the PC hollywood types.

I never said the KKK was "fine upstanding members of the community", I said they were less odious than the PC hypocrites which is not saying that the kkk are fine upstanding members of the community, it's just saying they're morally superior to the hollywood hypocrites.

When making remarks about me, try to get your facts straight or keep your mouth shut.

So hating a race, practicing murder, violence, intimidation against them for the colour of there skin is morally superior to being a bit hypocritical.... right. Is that one of Vampire 2nd Ed's Roads I'm not familair with your using as your scale of goodness?

Oh and as for laws in the UK...

whe do have laws against incitement to both racial and religious hatred now.

Sikhs and Jews were already covered by the racial hatred laws, but Christians, Muslims, etc. are now covered by the religious hatred ones.

The law got significantly watered down going through the Commons and Lords, to qualify under the law it has to contain "threating" words or behaviour, it's not enough just to be critical, abusive or insulting, and it has to be clear that your intent was to stir up hatred, you were just merely "reckless".
