My opinion does mean something actually, I am a citizen of this country.Good job your opinion means nothing at all then and he's safely locked away where he can do no harm
Some/all of the people he was convicted of, he never actually met. I think stalking is a rather extreme term for this.He stalked people. Was found guilty in a court of law. Got a sentence. End of.
You are conflating free speech with harassment. Continously threatening people with unsolicited
The Facebook messages and YouTube videos are different things. One of those is a direct contact, the other one is not.
A woman he took to Vegas and wouldn't sleep with him? Isn't he gay?
Still not free speech.
I disagree.
You being a citizen of this country has no bearing on the jury who concluded that what he sent were threats. You not considering something to be a threat when the law determines that it was makes your opinion irrelevant. If you want to change the decision then perhaps train as a lawyer and convince Belfield to utilise your skills instead of defending himself again if he appeals the decision.
The "they're taking away our freedom of speech!" brigade always seem to have trouble understanding what free speech actually means. It's odd... you'd think if you were desperate to keep something you'd actually know what that thing is.
So why does this man need us to like and subscribe to his channel to be able to say what he says is "the truth"? Why couldn't he just spit it out in that video. It seems very clickbaity to me.
You keep on changing your argument which would suggest that you have no substance to support your position.
Incorrect. This is a different matter, nothing to do with Alex's sentence or free speech.
If you don't enjoy clickbaity then I'd stay away from Alex's channel:
I wonder how he lost the weight and kept it off. He would refer to Alison Hammond as a big boned girl.
If only life was that easy, if you block someone they can simply make another account, another email address and of course send their āfree speechā mob against anyone they please. I think if any of us were subjected to the abuse that his victims were we would be worried for our families safety at some point.
I am not a fan of Belfield but he definitely didn't deserve a 5 year sentence. He did not contact anyone directly or indirectly, Vine let him get into his head.
Just block, block, block or stay off social media if you don't like what you are hearing.
DId Vine not get an injunction or do a global block? Ask YT to take stuff down? Not really been following this and I have to admit that I think Jeremy Vine is a Grade A hole but frankly I'm surprised it actually got to Court when you see the stalking cases that don't... or is it because he is on the telly?
Free speech us tempered if you use your speech to incite violence, harrass or alarm. Fundamental Himan Rights are tempered by the laws of the land. You don't have unlimited freedoms. If you think the law contravenes your human rights, you can make a complaint to the Supreme Court under the Human Rights Act. So he is welcome to do that.
