Thoughts on the Toben Case

Comrades:

Just a few comments about Gerald Toben.:

The UK representative for the Mannheim court, Tina Wybraw, said two interesting things at the prelimary extradition hearing.

Firstly Toben was not entitled to bail because his views were so 'evil'.

This comment has upset the Liberals and a lot of the British media, e.g. The Times and Sunday Telegraph, because they are hypocrites who pretend we have free speech. The Germans blew the cover - it's our views they don't like - it's nothing to do with stirring up anybody to racial hated whether likely, or otherwise. The race laws are just as much a form of mind control as 'holocaust denial' (defamation) laws, but 'dressed up' so the British establishment can con the many really silly people into thinking we have free speech.

Secondly 'commonality of criminal law' was not of relevance to the proceedings.

All this means is that the home office is now claiming that it doesn't matter whether we have the same laws, or not - we should still be extradited regardless if wanted by another European country. When the European wide fast track extradition law came into force in 2004 Lord Filkin of the Home Office, quoted in The Times October 2, 2008 gave an assurance that no one would be extradited for conduct that was legal in Britain. Ernst Zundel was deported from Canada because he had dual nationality with Germany.

In Toben's case I believe that he had dual nationality at one stage, but it is not clear if he still had in 2000-2004 - the dates of the so-called offences when revisionist material on Australian servers could be accessed from Germany. It is curious that neither the prosecution, or anyone else referred to dual nationality question so it looks like the Germans and Home Office are trying to retrospectively apply the holocaust denial law to everyone in the UK, or passing through the UK in this case...
