Moiraine, what a WONDERFUL post! Thank you!

I have been wracking my brains trying to think of a way to explain it to non-Europeans, and you have done a top class job.

I would just like to add something - every time the far-right in Britain makes gains and touts their filth about the holocaust (or lack of it, as they would say), it leads to an almost immediate increase in the desecration of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries.

If the loss of a small part of freedom of speech in any way prevents this from happening, then IMO it is a small price to pay. It doesn't infringe my freedoms in the slightest, because it is not something I would ever dream of saying.
