A YouTuber who trained his girlfriend's dog to give Nazi salutes and was convicted of hate crime has had his appeal rejected by the Supreme Court.

Markus Meechan, 32, who uses the nickname Count Dankula, was prosecuted after teaching the dog, a pug named Buddha, to perform the offensive gesture.

He was convicted of a hate crime in communicating a video which was "grossly offensive" after denying the charge at a trial at Airdrie Sheriff Court.

In April 2018 Meechan was given a fine of £800 and was told to pay it within six months, but he publicly stated he would refuse to do so.

Meechan, of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, taught the pug to react to the words "gas the Jews" and filmed it for his YouTube channel in 2017, supposedly to annoy his girlfriend.

The dog was also seen raising a paw to fascist chant "Sieg Heil" during the footage called "M8 Yur Dug's a Nazi" which was viewed more than three million times.

The case created a debate around freedom of speech, with comedians such as Ricky Gervais speaking out on Meechan's behalf.

Far-right leader Tommy Robinson attended the trial in support.

About £195,657 was raised on a GoFundMe page to take the appeal to the Supreme Court, which rejected it saying it had "no merit", according to Meehan.

The man, who has since married his girlfriend, is now considering taking the case to the European Court of Human Rights.

He wrote: "As some of you may be aware, we petitioned to the UK Supreme Court to hear our case, a process that took very many months to hear back from and sadly we have received news back that they have refused to hear the case.

"The reason they cited is that my appeal "had no merit" but as of yet, they have provided no information as to specifically why this is.

"After this step we have one final option, the European Court Of Human Rights.

"One hundred per cent of the remaining funds that are left over after legal fees have been paid WILL be donated to charity, I refuse to shift on that stance.

"Ideally I would like to see the funds go to a children's hospital."

You give up your guns, you are a slave. Not even saying you are free by simply owning a gun... but you have a least a chance with the gun, without one... you are just Britain. No one wants to live in a nation where you are stabbed by muslims that are replacing you - and you have no means of self-defense. On the contrary, if you cattle defend yourselves from the invaders, your globalist government will arrest YOU. Never give up your guns or your speech - because those are Always the first to go in the globalist's Game of Control.

People from Coatbridge don't have human rights because they are honestly fucking subhuman. The jakey schemies have interbred with only each other for so long that there is a measurable lowering of the attainment rate in the local schools as their subnormal intelligence becomes a distinct feature of the population. If you dropped a bomb on the place it would create millions of pounds of improvements due to widespread slum clearance. It is one of the top five most deprived areas in all of Europe. No one cares about fixing that though because everyone there is either a junkie or a cunt and none of them fucking wash. The actual smell of public places in Coatbridge has to be experienced to be believed. It is common there for kids of five to have total dental clearances. Half the children there are known to social work for neglect, and four in five households there have been reported to the police for domestic violence.

Gas everyone in fucking Coatbridge and then we can talk about the Jews who have the sense not to live in fucking Coatbridge but in nice places like Giffnock and don't batter their children or get steaming by 11 o'clock in the morning.

Buddha is still alive and it had a cameo on Count Dankula's latest video.

i think i'm starting to get hearing problems.

Get fucked Eurocucks.

United Kingdoms government is spending too much time trying to play parent and telling their children about what is and isn't nice and then chastising them for not playing well with another parents children. UK may as well be falling into itself at this point.

This island of inbreeding and smugness surely needs something warm, like a hydrogen bomb.

Dankula winning the case in an EU court of all places would be the funniest thing.

not a chance, the EU court recently upheld a conviction under a blasphemy law

Cunt Dankula hates the EU and wants the UK to leave.
But he is willing to use the ECHR if it suits him.
Ridiculous.

The ECHR is organised by the council of Europe not the EU. Don't know if that's better or worse for him.
I know nothing about law but from what I'm seeing the ECHR is meant to uphold the European Convention on Human Rights and Dankula will probably argue based on article 10.

1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

The first bit is in favour of Dankula and the phrase in bold is where I'd imagine the UK government will base it's case.

What's the tipping point for push back to finally start happening on a large scale?

People actually being starving and destitute. As we've seen throughout Europe, you can have grenades going off in your neighborhood and your children repeatedly gang raped by peaceful 35 year old child refugees and what's the response? "Oh that's bad and all but if I speak out thats mean and racist and I might not be allowed to consume product and get excited for next products!"

As if the same idiocy wasn't rampant in the US as well.

Well, you won't go to the prison, just yet. Censorship and enforcement in the USA is outsourced by the govt to private businesses and NGOs.

You use what you got, if you don't use it others will use it against you.

Oi, you got a loisence for that joke, mate?

- During the second world war, a Finnish dog named Jackie was taught to do the same thing. It infuriated Hitler and made the dog a celebrity.

And Germany decided there wasn't sufficient evidence to convict the owner of a crime.

Congrats UK. Your government is literally more willing to prosecute people for speech than than Nazi Germany.

The ECHR, which as you pointed out is entirely separate to the EU (though they've tried to subsume it in the past), has a track record of siding against governments on issues like this. We'll still be a signatory to the convention even when we leave the EU, which is at least one path to reversing some of the dafter ideas that our local and the superanational EU government have imposed in the last 20 years.
