UK doesn't have such a thing
Who mentioned the UK?
I still find it bizarre that it can be a crime to deny it happened.

kinda pointless following laws that don't apply to the UK lol
agree that it is interfering with free speech but they are specifically designed to stop people preaching it publically rather than people just having an opinion. more anti hate speech crime rather than just voicing an opinion similar to what we have in the UK.
Stupidest law in the UK? First past the post, time for PR
That was kicked out, remember? We're not very good at referendums.
For me, the BBC tax, aka TV License. Disregarding the fact it's a law to have one to watch live tv, "just because it is", I genuinely don't agree with the power this puts in the hands of the law to demand one for watching other channels. It's just plain bizarre. I won't financially support the BBC for many reasons and believe it's existence has gone on for far too long.
Usual mistake about the TV licence, just like the 'Road Tax'; you have to have a licence to own a TV receiver, that income is used to fund the BBC. And just what is it you despise about public broadcasting, rather than commercial, where the interests of the advertisers can influence programme content? What a peculiar attitude.
FWIW i despise the bbc's tory bias and would happily veto them altogether if it wasnt for 6 music.
Funny that, it more often than not appears that the Beeb has a noticeable left-wing bias, so either one of us is wrong or they are largely neutral; which is it?
The 'In', or 'out' obvz
Anything that takes away my option to hurt myself. Seat belts and motorcycle helmets come to mind.
Also those that restrict most of us reinforcement and punishment means that other break laws. Carrying knives springs to mind. Just because a few jerks use them in an antisocial manner doesn't mean that rest of us do.
Laws that restrict my freedom of thought, speech and action so that others can have one. For example punishing me if I should comment on race, politics, gender etc. Either we all have freedom of the above or none of us.

The Beeb has always been accused of bias, but generally by the party in power. At the moment it seems to be the left wing calling foul.

Lol. You can actually think what you like, I'm doing it right now.
I'm assuming the rest of your point is something to do with hate crime?
