Yes the quoted text is not helpful at best.
Be careful who you offend

Is it a criminal offence these days to be offensive, if this bloke and his dog went out of his way to be offensive to Jewish people and no Jewish people felt offended enough to complain ,what is all the fuss about

Why is it irrelevant are you saying that Jewish people have no right to decide what they consider anti semitic.

It was David Baddiel actually, he said that Sasha Baron Cohen makes jokes about Jewish people shape shifting into cockroaches ,he also said people have the right not to be taken seriously.
Your comparison of this bloke and his dog to Harold Shipman a mass murderer is silly
has an opinion on the "gas the jews" video
There is no reason to suppose that his opinion is held by all.
the fact that one or more people are unaffected does not help people who are.
But of course you knew that.
Harold Shipman didn't murder my mum. That doesn't mean he was innocent of murdering other people.
By the same token you can't pretend that one unoffended people proves that nobody was offended, or that publishing the clip online did not constitute a crime under the Communications Act.
"Sheriff Derek O'Carroll found him guilty of a charge under the Communications Act that he posted a video on social media and YouTube which was grossly offensive because it was "anti-semitic and racist in nature" and was aggravated by religious prejudice.
Sheriff O'Carroll told the court he did not believe Meechan had made the video only to annoy his girlfriend and ruled it was anti-Semitic."
No.
I'm saying David Baddiel is not a spokesman for every Jew or gentile that was exposed to the video. Nor does he have an influence upon British law.
Not once it is written into UK law, no. By the way, many Jews consider the words "gas the Jew(s)" anti-Semitic, despite what Baddiels' publicity stunt says to the contrary.
If a scrote pi$$ed up a war memorial in the middle of the night, when no one was around, would you expect the rozzers to act upon CCTV footage if they new who the perp' was? Do people (the public) need to witness the deed when considering charges for urinating in a public place?
The answer is no.

You can't compare like with like, ****ing on war memorials is illegal 100% defining what is offensive is more tricky, you can be offensive without breaking the law or you can be offensive and break the law, you can't **** on a war memorial legally you can only **** on a war memorial illegally, the police and the DPP don't have to decide wether or not ****ing on a war memorial is an illegal act.
So is posting anti semitic material online. 100%. So yes you can compare. Do keep up Vinty.

I think we have been mislead by woody's "quotes" in the OP which I at least thought were from the Met Police article - but they don't appear to be, and
nowhere does it say you can be prosectuted for something which is not an actual offence.

It all depends what you define as anti semitic,the powers that be have decided that this bloke and his dog had committed an offence but others would disagree.
