A Scottish YouTube star has been fined £800 ($US1,100) for posting clips of his girlfriend's pug giving Nazi salutes.

Mark Meechan, who posts under the username "Count Dankula," taught Buddha the dog how to respond to Nazi statements and posted a video of it in April 2016.

Various clips in the video show Buddha coming to attention and raising its paw when Meechan says statements like "Sieg Heil" and "gas the Jews."

The original video was viewed more than three million times before it was taken down. Count Dankula's YouTube channel remains active, with more than 184,000 subscribers.

The 30-year-old was convicted of committing a hate crime last month, and ordered to pay the £800 fine on Monday.


Meechan previously denied any wrongdoing and claimed that he had only made the video to annoy his girlfriend.

Regardless, Airdrie Sheriff Court found him guilty of a charge under Britain's Communications Act because the video was "anti-semitic and racist in nature," the BBC reported.

Meechan's trial has opened up a debate over the principle of freedom of speech, with many of his supporters criticising the court's decision on his behalf.

Irish comedy writer of BBC's Father Ted and The IT Crowd goes mental over people defending freedom of speech and using Nazis or Hitler in a humorous fashion. But it's OK when Lineham does it ...

I have the complete IT Crowd and Father Ted DVD collections. And you know what, I'm happy to brag that I didn't give that Lineham twat a penny. I pirated the bloody things after borrowing them from the PUBLIC LIBRARY.
