A Holocaust denier has failed in her bid  to have her conviction for broadcasting “grossly offensive” songs about Jews overturned.

Alison Chabloz, of Charlesworth, Derbyshire, applied for a judicial review of her landmark conviction on the basis of technicalities of what constitutes the act of sending offensive material online.

Her barrister, Adrian Davies, argued that uploading footage to YouTube did not qualify, since the site is an “inanimate object”.

Two of the counts she was convicted of related to her embedding a link on her personal blog to a YouTube video of one of her songs, which was uploaded to the video website by someone else.
