i dunno
Neither is directly insulting an individual but one did play its part in horrific violence against a particular group. I just think there just needs to be some common sense when examining the aims and exposure of anything that could fall under a hatred law.
Comparing Jews to vermin is obviously abusive, as it is directly targeted at one group and designed to denigrate them. Wearing a t-shirt saying that David is a Dickhead, for instance, would not be.
If the t-shirt had said "kill all Christians" then I would have had a lot of sympathy with the prosecution. But it didn't, so I don't.
