New Labour police crackdown on preacher!

Freedom of speech is under attack in the wonderful world of New Labour. A street preacher in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire got two "well-meaning" coppers coming up to him to give him grief. Whilst I don't necessarily agree with this type of proslytising, I certainly defend his right to free speech. It is certainly no business of a couple of policemen going round determining what can or can't be said in a lawful manner. It is precisely this overt oppression of the traditionally minded person that is so offensive. The secular state is rising under New Labour. The Presbyterian Conscience appears unable to bring himself to defend liberty against the drift of sinister sources that would proscribe views and beliefs that they find offensive.

This is the video that the preacher took of the event. Very interesting, very disturbing.



Archbishop Cranmer's blog has a good post on this.
