Where antisemitic comment is not free

Damian Thompson, Blogs Editor of the Daily Telegraph, has come up with a revolutionary plan to combat antisemitic trolls on his site, which - as far as I can tell - is perfectly serious:

One answer would be to approve all posts before they appear – but
why should the rest of you have to put up with a delay just because a
couple of nutters are so obsessed with Jews that they can’t join a
supermarket checkout queue without scanning it for Zionist secret
agents?

So here’s my plan.

For every anti-Semitic comment that appears on this blog, I will make a small donation to a Jewish charity.

Hope he's paid well...

But seriously, nice to see that at least one of our dailies actually cares enough to have a plan.
