| Comment | Meechan (the Nazi pug guy) has not covered himself in glory following his conviction. He began to associate with far-right figures like Paul Watson and Carl Benjamin, who are both pretty inflammatory individuals, Benjamin in particular is pretty racist. So while he may not have been a racist to begin with, he has ended up associating with some pretty racist guys.
​
Additionally, Meechan did not really try to use the defence of freedom of expression in his trial - it was only referred to in a limited fashion.
