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.”

If people have the chance to attack you in some way by using authority, then many will for the satisfaction that gives them. This is why PC gets crazy.

I was at a pool where there was no diving allowed. I was sitting at the edge with my legs in the water and fell forward into the pool. Clearly not a dive, but four guys saw me - they went together to report me for diving and I got kicked out of the pool.

Communists use this kind of mentality to
1 control people.
2 keep people in fear.
3 keep people busy snitching on each other.

A polite “f***off, Bobbie” seems appropriate in this situation.

[[The shirts might “incite racial hatred.”]]

Should all white westerners simplu jjst have oruselves arrested and htrown into prison with no parole possible just incase we ‘might cause racial hatred’ by our very presence in society?

England: it’s the Queen’s mint but ‘the public debt’ ...
We should offer to exchange our Muslims for their Matthew Taylors.
And we’ll throw in the Westboro Baptist church.

They should take down all of their anti-muzzlem traffic signs, too. Imagine trying to tell them not to drive too fast or not to park in certain places! How hateful!

“Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent... Issac Asimov

All we have to do is keep exposing liberals for the liars and sneaks they are... And it's working. There are changes all over the world - and those changes are AGAINST liberal PC. Yes, it's rough to lose a battle here and there - but I can assure you, we're winning the war. Within two years this shopkeeper will be able to sell that shirt.

Newport is in Wales. Something the story makes clear.

Britain is not done, I am sure I can find similar stories about the US every day, yet god forbid should I suggest America is done.

Oh, and if you save us it’ll be the first time.
