RE: [Freedom of Speech] It's a joke you f!&king c%nts | Count Dankula and the Nazi Pug

I find it outrageous and terrifying that the country I live in is prosecuting someone for making a joke. If the video is considered offensive there are more rational ways of dealing with it – for example, having a conversation with the producer to ask if he intended harm towards Jews.
I've read some of the other interesting comments on this thread, and I'd like to point out that it wasn't just Prince Harry who wore a Nazi uniform to a party as a joke – Labour politician Ed Balls once did too, but that doesn't seem to get mentioned as much for some reason.
And it's great to see Jonathan Pie back on form. His response is brilliant and hilarious. Another comedian who has joined this debate is the Jewish comedian David Baddiel, who tweeted: "OK, one more point. Why is it funny, and not prison-causing, for Borat to think Jews shape-shift into cockroaches? It's not cos Sacha is jewish. It's cos the joke is not on Jews, but anti-Semitism, made to look idiotic and absurd. As when a pug does a Nazi salute."
The comedian Ricky Gervais also tweeted that he thought freedom of speech was at risk in this case.
