Hamza convicted, Griffin cleared

A pre-emptive strike before the usual suspects start ranting about this proving the legal system is corrupt and racist

First up, they were charged with different offences — inciting murder as opposed to inciting hatred, so comparing the two at all is a bit daft. But as I'm sure you all will anyway, let's remember that they were two different cases with two different sets of evidence heard by two different judges in two different courts at two different ends of the country and ruled on by two different juries.

Then there's the fact the Griffin was not cleared on all charges and faces a retrial, just as Hamza was not convicted on all charges.

I'm sure none of this will stop the usual suspects preaching happily to the converted and accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a racist troll who works for MI6, but I thought it was worth a try anyway.

And before I go, reflect on this: if you think it's acceptable to preach violence in the streets, then you cannot be picky about who is allowed to and who isn't.
