A market stall holder has been banned from having a stand in a town centre because she was selling 'offensive' Knights Templar coffee mugs. Tina Gayle has been prohibited from having a stall in Loughborough Market after someone complained about the mugs. She said the complainant had told the council the £6 Knights Templar mugs were offensive to Muslims and so she was asked to remove them from her stall. When she refused to do so she was sent a letter and informed she had been given an outright ban.

How long before they demand the destruction of Temple Church in London, and the Knights Templar Statue that stands outside of it?

She may decide that is a better location for her cup sales.

The question is what happens if someone complains about some mooselimb thing being “offensive”? Does the market demand removal of said mooselimb article? If not, why not?

My theory is Chuckles mama knows full well what would happen if/when he takes the throne and that’s why she’s not stepping down. England’s only hope is William and Liz knows it. But with all the imports, it won’t stay afloat long. The sun is quickly setting on the British Empire.

Coffee mugs? They don’t drink coffee in England.

The left has its own set of sacrosanct, self-evident (supposedly) set of human rights. These are not God-given, endowed-by-our-Creator, rights. They are government manufactured.

These include the right to do evil in private, aka right to privacy (for abortions and sexual deviancy), the right to openly promote the evil things they supposedly have the right to do in private, the right to force tax payers to pay for these made-up rights, the right to expect government to provide the solution to all problems, and the right to not be offended.

I should probably also include the right to selectively enforce the law. This allows them, for example, to withhold approval of applications for Tea Party and patriot groups’ non-profit tax emption status, while fast-tracking liberal organization applications simultaneously.

And, speaking of simultaneous things, let’s not forget their Alice in Wonderland inspired right to hold many contradictory positions simultaneously. For example, it is wrong (in their view) for Trump to question the licensing of a news organization, but they had no problem with Obama’s relentless and vicious attacks on Fox news. Never mind the fact that Fox was practically the sole semi-conservative voice in a sea of TV news channels that otherwise tilt heavily liberal. And never mind that the news organization Trump referred to is part of an illegal monopoly of political control of the state-sanctioned airwaves.

To understand the liberal mind is easy. Just take everything that is reasonable, good, just, wholesome, and right, and think the opposite. You’ll find that you have identified the view of liberals before they ever speak on the subject under consideration.
