Pat Condell video reinstated on YouTube

Posted: Fri, 10th Oct 2008

The latest video from comedian Pat Condell, Welcome to Saudi Britain, has been re-instated on the YouTube video sharing site following massive protests from defenders of free speech.

The NSS complained to the site last week when it became clear that Pat’s latest opus, on the injustices that sharia law brings to women, had been removed following complaints from Muslim activists. In response, other YouTube members started to post the video on their own account on YouTube and soon it was available on hundreds of different accounts on the site.

YouTube eventually relented and the video is now up again and receiving a massive response. If you haven’t seen it yet, catch it here.
