Freedom of expression in UK? A myth

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/aug/16/anjem-choudary-convicted-of-supporting-islamic-state

Anjem Choudary was convicted for 10 years for "supporting" Islamic state. Now to be clear this man has made some stupid statements in the past. Its also clear though that his conviction is only based on his opinions and not on any illegal action. Anjem Choudary is just another case of a muslim imprisoned in UK just because of his opinions (the most famous case is perhaps that of Abu Qatada). So what happened to freedom of expression in UK? Or is it one more of these glorious double standards western governments use?

Firstly,why are you hiding behind greek flags ?

Secondly,he should have been jailed for life instead.

-Want shariah in the UK.
-Preaching hate. A charlatan that will brainwash young and psychologically weak muslims and will transform them into whatever God only knows.
-Linked to one of the Rigby's killer.
-Allegiance to ISIS and supporting this group,that is considered as terrorist by many countries around the world,including the UK.

Anjem Choudary is jailed only for some stupid comments he made. This is why his trial was secret. If you consider Anjem Choudary a "hate" preacher then what about with people like Pat Condell who talk on youtube and accuse all muslims as rapists or pedophiles. Isnt that hate speech?

Hippocratic euros.... When it's terrorism that kills other nation's people, they very well support it.

This guy is crazy. He should be put in a mental hospital.

nobody should be jailed for expressing a belief, no matter how dumb it might be... if you listen to him and do something sh*tty, its your responsibility.... and you should face consequences.
nobody is forcing muslims to listen to him...

-Allegiance to ISIS

If it is true than this alone should be enough to put him in jail.
