I truly don’t understand why gays want to married so much...they had it made! Now, wealthy gays all over the world will have to go through what rich straight men do...BEING FLEECED OUT OF THEIR MONEY BY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GOLDDIGGERS...it’s actually kind of funny.

[CORedneck]

An open letter to the City of London, “Church of Scientology is a Cult” ! Try to extradite me from Colorado.

[massgopguy]

Isn’t Britain part of the European Union? And doesn’t EU partner Germany consider it to be a Cult as well?

Freedom of Speech in this country suffered a cancerous attack with the introduction of "Hate Speech." Increasingly grave consequences will result.

As far as the Dark Ages, there is nothing happening in this world that does not align itself with the End Times.

Nice to see the brits following Orwell’s prognostications.

I've noted that too many british leftists don't seem to understand that 1984 was a warning, not a suggestion.

[muawiyah]

Yet, in UK you can say the most horrid things about gays and be totally immune from arrest, or even criticism, as long as you say them in Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, ..........

Only English speakers are subject to penalty.

[WayneS]

The German government actually legally classifies Scientology as a cult, doesan’t it?

Whatever happened to “European Union”?

[Dustbunny]

The laws in Britain are becoming more retarded every day.

[WayneS]

Ahhhhh Orwell.

The Nostrodamus of the 20th Century.

[Dustbunny]

Exactly !!!!

[TommyDale]

Exactly. I have had arguments with friends who think that “cult” means “occult”. Ignorance is what it is...

[G.Mason]

Sad ... but true. That & the entire P/C mandate ... GW deciples ... the continual dumbing down of our children by public schools (who have become little more than propaganda machines)... moral decay & the destruction of our religious institutions, from within & without ... the traitorous Congress ... etc. etc.

Other than that everything is hunky-dory. ;)

How long before it happens here? On some level it already is happening. As that Criswell guy said, “God help us in the future!” I wonder how many Americans in prison for hate speech it will take before people would wake up.

[Dustbunny]

Yes, it is happening here and we have the Socialist/Liberal/Progressive/Marxists to thank for it and of course the MSM who obviously lean toward being Socialist/Liberal/Progressive/Marxists.

Keep looking up! (The meek will inherit the Earth. It's pure truth.) :)

[Dustbunny]

????? I think I agreed with you and stated it was happening here.

Sorry about the duplicate. When I first tried to post it was extremely slow so I guess I hit “post” again and it posted twice.

To add to the comments though, I wonder how soon it will be after President Obama comes in that the left will try to censor the web too. People scoff when I say we face a scary future but if we are not careful, these restrictions will happen. Sad to say even the Republican nominee seems to have no problem with curbs on free expression.

[Captain Rhino]

In Britain, it seems you have freedom of speech until some person or group the politicians and/or police are scared of gets offended. Then you don’t.

Not sure which is more breathtaking: the arrogant abuse of power or the moral cowardice of those wielding it.

[stinkerpot65]

Yep, as soon as we get Obama and a Democrat congress, the oppression will be swift. Not to mention socialism and tens of millions of new Democrats from south of the border.
