That comment could also have been written as:

A member of a far-right nationalist party was condemned to a 800£ fine for teaching his pet to do the Nazi salute when he hears "Sieg Heil" and also react to the phrase "gas the Jews", and post it on YouTube.

The trial seems to have been over less than a month after it was opened, but "hellish" is subjective enough that it might still apply.

UKIP is "far-right?" That's a very strange way to describe them, but whatever.

The trial itself was fast, but he had two years of waiting with the charges (and potential jail time) hanging over his head.

In any case, would you support similar legal action against the creators of Father Ted?

It tends to be how they're most commonly described, so - independent of whether you think that's accurate - it is certainly not "strange"

I was simply going by Wikipedia's definition[0].

I don't know anything about your YouTube link.
