I have been reading the 8chan.co boards recently because it is such a strange and interesting place. Granted it has quite a few problems.

Anyway the point I was thinking about it is whether the statements on this board would be illegal in the UK and the ramifications if so. Would it be illegal to host the board in the UK? Will it be blocked in the UK at some point in time?

Here is a thread that is actually fairly restrained and that doesn't "ironically" praise Hitler etc.

It is about public funding of religious schools in the UK leading to self segregation, particularly of Muslims.

I ask about this thread, because it is not as extreme as other ones.
 
Indeed, gamergate and the happening and Moot's reaction to it were part of what caused an exodus to 8chan.co which is about a year old.
