In the US you are...given the previous posts about getting arrested over a church sermon I'm not so sure about in the UK

That post was hypothetical. But if you see my post 55, the Philly 5 may have something to say on the matter of freedom of speech in the US.

I understood it was a hypothetical. My understanding was that if the same sermon was given in the UK it would lead to arrest. (and I was being somewhat tounge in cheek with the poster)

The Philly 5 were ultimately released. We have bad apples here in the US...the prosecutor that authorized those charges should be disbarred - you just don't arrest people under those circumstances.

While the UK is clearly not free...MHO is that the US is just a shade behind you.

G'day.
