BBC Scotland drops shows featuring maker of dog Nazi salute video | Media | The Guardian

A YouTube video maker who was fined for training a dog to perform a Nazi salute on camera has been dropped from a BBC Scotland programme following public backlash.

The channel, which launched last Sunday, came under fire on Saturday when it was revealed that Mark Meechan, known as Count Dankula on his YouTube channel, had recorded appearances in two editions of late-night discussion show The Collective.

A statement released by BBC Scotland on Sunday confirmed that it would not air the two programmes. “We have been reviewing our new late-night discussion programme The Collective during the edit process,” it said. “In this case, we have concluded that its not appropriate to include Mark Meechan as a contributor.”

Why?

I would find it interesting to hear his point of view.

TL;Dr
It was a dark/bad joke, made by someone who prefaced the video with "this is a joke"
The judge didn't agree

Well if anyone saying the things he said think they have comedic value, they need a good slapping:

It showed his girlfriend’s pug Buddha raising its paw in response to repeated calls of “Sieg Heil” and “Gas the Jews”.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge, saying the clip, which has been viewed more than 3.8m times, was only made to annoy his girlfriend and has comedic value. Meechan said the verdict was an infringement of his freedom of speech and he is yet to pay the fine.
In 2018, he joined Ukip and he has ties to former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson

Well, since humour is subjective, all topics are available, or none are.

Sexist jokes,
racist jokes,
dead baby jokes,
cancer jokes,
etc.


BTW - Have you actually watched the original clip of him and the pug?

Lots of things are subjective,
but discernment is still possible by the use of judgment and the application of principles such as reasonableness.
