“ A win for Christian religious freedom in the UK.”
How is this a win? The arresting officers aren’t out a single nickel, the taxpayers are on the hook for the damages, no one will spend so much as an hour in jail for violating this man’s rights, and the “law” is still on the books just waiting to be used again.

You’re correct in that the arresting officers only got a private talking-to, if that. But it’s still a win. The preacher got compensated. And perhaps the police will be a bit less fascist next time.
So as I see it, it’s not a huge win. But it’s a win. And it’s particularly noteworthy because a Christian was involved. Too often Christians get slammed for nothing while Muslims who commit real crimes get excused.
