What? Of course it is a cult. I guess the British do not offer freedom of speech?

Actually, he flattered it by using the word “cult”.

“Some crazy-@ss moonbat in-joke” would be more fitting.

No , they don't

You can go to prison for "hate speach" just for telling factual information about the health dangers of the gay lifestyle or even criticizing it.

Freedom of speech?

It must be me, but I'm seeing the beginning of the second coming of the dark ages.

It's certain that we, the meek, will not inherit the earth, but the chains of slavery.

I agree with you. Cult, sect, denomination, etc. are precise words for religious organizations of various sizes and degrees of formal organization. Some religious organizations in any category are unsavory, but some are not. Christianity itself began as a cult. The word cult is value-neutral. Even in England there are probably judges who are familiar-enough with the English language to see that the police have erred badly in this instance. The case will be dismissed.

No, they do not.

A British friend once told me that: "Americans are citizens. Brits are subjects".

That pretty much sums it up.

Unfortunately the UK is bass ackwards on defamation law. The defendant is considered guilty until proven innocent.
