Has nothing to do with freedom of expression but more with curbing this type of nonsense. As website that asks "We also urge all true Irish patriots to keep up the fight to keep Ireland Irish. " is vile and won't be missed IMHO.
Well, while I don't agree with their mission statement or point of view (as I draw it from the above post) I still don't see what they were doing wrong or indeed illegal (assuming they weren't publishing names or in breach of the Incitement of hatred act etc), assuming that is the case it does very much seem an assault of free speech.
