It wasn't as if he was inciting anyone to riot or anything. What happened to 'Freedom of Speech" etc? Someone been relocating goalposts recently?

Eccentric , I prefer unique, he may be but to me he has made a stand , his own unique stand, a democratic statement that will be thrown out of the courts and substantiate still further the accusation that this country is slowly but surely turning from a land of freedom of expression into a 'soft' police state. How can it be a breach of the peace to make such a statement - this is a totally malevolent charge from a stupid policeman egged on by a stupid superintendent supported by at least one quasi-murderous assistant chief constable and certainly one mass murderous prime-minister.
