I am however becoming increasingly concerned at reading stories about people being arrested for expressing their beliefs. Today's papers have the story of a street preacher arrested for saying that the bible considers homosexuality to be sinful. A couple had the same treatment for writing to the local council to protest about a gay pride march. <br />I am not an especially religious person but do have a certain respect for the church(I get annoyed when I hear stories such as the one about the air hostess sacked for wearing a crucifix)nor am I against homosexuality (as long as I'm not required to participate!). I am however a bit concerned about the erosion of the freedom of expression in this country under Labour. Incitement to violence is one thing but it is now illegal to "cause offence" to certain defined groups. <br />I was a bit annoyed at the sacking of a prospective Conservative candidate for expressing his views the other day.<br />Surely everyone should be treated equally under the law. No group should be protected against having their feelings hurt !Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-22401565528593335202010-04-05T09:33:16.814+01:002010-04-05T09:33:16.814+01:00Anon 1 - I have also posted on this.
