Fareast Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 This is just a rough & ready report & comment as I haven 't time to check everything accurately [ But I 'm sure someone will correct it, if necessary ! ]. Just been reading in the Telegraph [ online ] that a street preacher has been arrested, in Workington, Cumbria, and banged up for seven hours because he was overheard by a Police Gay Liaison Somebody or other, saying that homosexuality was a sin. A spokesperson [ got to be p.c ! ] for the man 's solicitors said that in fact, the man had NOT committed an offence and that the police had misinterpreted the law on ' incitement to hatred or violence '. Well, I suppose it might be interesting to see how it all falls out......but, surely, there must be very little crime of any sort in Workington, if the local Bill have the time, money and energy to pursue ' borderline ' cases like this.......for 7 hours ! How long for ' borderline ' G.B.H ? Seven years ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Maybe we should send some murderers and rapists to Cumbria seeing as they're obviously running low on real criminals. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaks Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It is quite right he was arrested, the hate filled fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 No ...he didn't mention it in the 'sermon' he was giving but was later overheard by a PCSO telling a passer-by that homosexuality along with drunkenness, blasphemy, adultery etc. were sinful according to 1 Corinthians. The PCSO just happened to be the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender liaison officer for Cumbria police. If you can be banged up for repeating what is written in them, perhaps it's about time these wicked books, the Bible and Koran etc. were banned. I'm afraid it's the Torygraph again http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7668448/Christian-preacher-arrested-for-saying-homosexuality-is-a-sin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikmouse Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 We cant have it both ways. If he was arrested for preaching his filth then its obviously offensive and therefore has NO place in modern society. This PCSO has struck the first blow for common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
