Britain is always a few years ahead of the US. I pray that the backlash against this immorality is coming here in 2012, but it seems too late for the UK. I hope they can prove tortuous interference, but their business will likely improve.

I’ll bet the raiders do not pay the fines if any.How ironic that in situations like this a person can end up being a loser by having to pay part of their own legal award.

In SF, there are gay bookstores with books on display showing fellatio on the COVER —they don’t get hassled for it.

How is this different?

I have one Bible with the patent, one (much newer) with the 'Imprimature No. 2208 Asministratura Apostilica Oemipoine, die 11, Junli, 1937 Urbanux Draxxl, Provicartius"

And just one old plain Bible that is worn with use. It's right next to the sweet 22-250 that shoots 1/8 MOA at 100 yards. Left hand bolt, so it's awkward for some folks.

I figure I'll read any of my Bibles when and where I please. Everyone else can pound sand if they don't like it.

You may have your churches now, UK, but the track you’re rolling down won’t allow any “negative” speech soon enough.
Unless you get your sh!t together, the Orwellian “thought police” you welcome will further decimate what’s left of yoru once proud nation.
I love the Brits but the UK state is a complete travesty. Sadly the USA is not far behind.

—He says the officers told him that displaying offensive or insulting words is a breach of Section 5 of the Public Order Act—

I was going to say that is ridiculous and totally unconstitutional. Then I noticed it was in the UK.

Never mind. Now I know why the Pilgrims risked their lives to brave the ocean voyage to the new world. Now they can just go to Hethrow. there should be a flood. Why isn’t there?

—displaying offensive or insulting words —

That’s pretty funny. ALL words offend or insult SOME people. It allows a complete shut down of any semblance of free speech. But it is not really protected in the UK, so I guess this is sort of a “dog bites man” story.

Because they can't afford it. The government tries to keep the 'rabble' poor.

What ever happend to the poor sods that were wearing the Cross of St George for a uniform? I was all behind the red cross on white.

great Britain is slowing sliding into that black hole known as third world country status. The government and its people are too stupid and lazy to do anything to stop it.

Those passage are in the Holy Queeran, too.

Just switch over to the Queeran and dare the cops to say a word.

I just hope that Great Britain doesn’t start becoming a new source of illegal immigrants to the U.S. again... So 19th century...

Of course, bellowing “Behead those who insult Islam” on London streets is perfectly civilized behavior.

Liberty is certainly being constrained in the U.K. these days, based upon this story, and others of a similar vein. In addition, if we eliminate the Bible from public display, if we try to scrub the conviction that violation of God's principles will result in His wrath, from the minds of the public because some find it offensive, we get to a point where there is no longer any valid basis for determining whether something is good or bad. Everything depends on emotions; there are no absolutes.

Such is the world of liberalism, where good is bad, and up is down. Where they believe there is no basis for determining right or wrong, and yet they condemn others for proclaiming something as true. On what basis do they make this value judgment? This is cognitive dissonance.
