There is no such law in the UK (beyond the normal libel laws).
However, it does break Godwin's Law:

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a
comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the
Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress."

Hello Alistair,

Please moderate your language on this forum. I'm surprised that the
moderator tolerates your input.


this is not a forum but a newsgroup. This is usenet. It's free and not
moderated. For good.

Ah yes, what a great show... Obviously though, that episode was a mix
of both reality and selective focus. Alot of what you saw in there was
indeed real, but that doesn't mean that it's entirely representative
of an entire nation.

Hmm, I was so disappointed when I got to the UK after watching Monty
Python's Flying Circus.

I thought it would be just like the TV show...
