British police forced a Newport shopkeeper to remove his “Obey Our Laws” T-shirts. The shirts might “incite racial hatred.”
ARREST THREAT: Matthew Taylor and the T-shirt police have forced him to remove from display (SW Argus)
Police threatened to arrest Matthew Taylor if he did not remove the T-shirts. South Wales Argus reported, via Tundra Tabloids:
A NEWPORT shopkeeper has been forced by police to remove a T-shirt from his shop window because they felt it “could be seen to be inciting racial hatred.”
Matthew Taylor, 35, the owner of Taylor’s clothes store on Emlyn Walk in the city, printed up and displayed the T-shirt with the slogan: “Obey our laws, respect our beliefs or get out of our country” after Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was killed in near Woolwich barracks in London last week.
But following a complaint from a member of the public, police came to his store and threatened to arrest him unless he removed the Tshirt from sight…
…A spokeswoman for Gwent police confirmed: “ We did have a call from a member of the public. We visited the shop and asked him to remove it (the T-shirt) as it could be seen to be inciting racial hatred.”

I don’t think see anything racial there, unless CRIMINAL is a racial classification now.
The Land of Eng, a farcical kingdom
The words are incendiary and explosive. Explosive. Damn, the word explosive’ just came out of thin air. Explosives are used by a certain cult of the child molester pedophile prophet, right?
Coming to a Country near you.

Now they are appeasers of goathumpers and queers and have become undone,

Take down the Tee-Shirt, but start to make your Red and White flag of England, maybe purchase or make a sword and shield. And VOTE UKIP—do what ever you can to drive out the whimp/leaders you have paid off by people who want cheap labor and a constant underclass to vote Labor. The tide will turn! England will be free again to be England!~ st. George fought a dragon—you may well be forced to fight the Bag heads of fanatic Islam.
you know , it’s going to come to a fight....
A real big ass fight . And that will not occur as
long as people are such pussies and allow these scum to keep
getting away with this islamo-apologism . A greater majority needs to rise up and make them fearful , in their homes , for the betrayal that they purvey and promote .
DoJ places a chill on criticism of Islam
f them , bring it on
Love the shirt! He should display it proudly in the front window of the shop...
Did the Moslems come to England to become English or did they come to England make the English Moslem!
Same question for the USA!
It’s a sideways admission by the authorities that a certain kind of racial hatred exists and lies in wait for an excuse, however minor, to be incited.
Looks like a job for an offshore online store.
England is done. If it comes to it. Let’s not save them again.
