    This isn't Putin's Russia. People are allowed to talk about illegal topics, otherwise there would be no way to build policies that try to amend them.
    Unless it is incitement of (for example) racial hatred. Advertising it might be problematic too.

    These were not women! They are harlots! Getting out their mammories. Disgraceful. I had to look several times to see how disgusted I was.

    Is Jeremy Corbyn friends with these wife beaters, or are they too moderate for him to be 'friends' ?

    They can debate all they like but the law should be obeyed and more importantly drafted into whatever religious practices these groups follow.
