All the headlines say "40 months", but that's for each of his three convictions for government-unapproved music, to be served concurrently, so it's actually 10 years. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was only sentenced to 8 years in the gulag for his various criticisms of Stalin. 10 years for music that the British government finds distasteful is more punitive than criticizing the Soviet government's leader during his purges.
You Brits gave up your arms in the 1980s. Within a human lifetime you lost your freedom of speech. You will likely lose even more of your freedoms in fairly short order. Don't expect to get any of them back without a fight. That's how government works- all of them, to include our government here in America. It's always worked that way. Anyone who thought otherwise thought wrong.

I dunno what "right wing music" is. Sounds rather contrived to me. Typical of what happens as extremists of one type or another take over your government or your political parties.
But I do know what both far-right and far-left extremism does: install dictatorships. Britain almost was destroyed by the far-right dictatorship of Nazi Germany. We helped them survive and together defeat Hitler. Everybody knows what Stalin did in his far-left dictatorship. All dictatorships are the same. Does not matter what they say or how they got there, it only matters what they do.
And I have noticed that some Brits and some Canadians (and some French and some Germans) have very most definitely noticed the dictatorship currently still being installed in the US. They've seen this crap in action before, we haven't (although the trend toward it was interrupted by the Pear Harbor attack). Its installation is not complete yet here in the US, but there is very little time left to oppose it. Unless you want to do armed revolution in the streets. I'd rather not: incredible amounts of mess to clean up afterward. But I will if I have to.
