For some balance: the UK hate speech laws despite what the daily mail push have been applied relatively evenly with the intent of preventing violence which has been a problem in the UK in several cases where innocents were unfairly targeted then attacked.

I’m not really one way or the other regarding the BBC decision, I can see it both ways and the footage will be out there regardless of their choice. I personally support the message being free speech and for the public to make their judgement.

Re the police reviewing it. This can often happen with high profile stuff even if it’s to officially class it as free speech, so no one can say it was ignored and the were discriminated against. However if the police find it to be anything other than free speech based on current events, I would find that highly concerning. He didn’t say death to Jews, or Israel, it was specific to the IDF.

Was this the first fully fuelled boom? It looked fucking enormous.

I remember seeing someone doing the calculations for this happening some time ago and it coming to a shockingly large amount on the usual TNT comparison. Though this is more like a mix between a traditional explosive and a fuel air bomb.
