Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin
Telegraph ^ | May 2, 2010 | Heidi Blake

Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.

Police officers are alleging that he made the remark in a voice loud enough to be overheard by others and have charged him with using abusive or insulting language, contrary to the Public Order Act.

Christian campaigners have expressed alarm that the Public Order Act, introduced in 1986 to tackle violent rioters and football hooligans, is being used to curb religious free speech.

Britain might as well go ahead and ban the Bible because the man was speaking the truth!

What? Looks like the Obama dictatorship is already starting. I cannot believe this. This is absolutely insane. All he was doing was speaking the truth and using his right of free speech. This is unbelievable.

This is The Village. You are Number Six.........

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

What the Hell is a police community support officer? Secret police? What happened to free speech? The British sure wasted a lot of blood fighting the Nazis, if now they’ve got their own Gestapo.

Makes you wonder why the Brits gave up their empire fighting off the nazis just so they could become a totalitarian society 60 years later.

No, it doesn't.

People seem to think Britain is over run with Muslims. They are a large part of London's population but, as I understand some missionaries I've talked to, outside of London is more labor/conservative.

I don't understand how this Gestapo cop ever came to be ... but it IS a holy shame to the nation that sent brave and Godly men into the world to evangelize ... and equally brave and Godly men to battle for liberty and freedom

Ubanga and the rats, no doubt, think this is a splendid idea.

A nation deserves the government it elects, and those British morons love their welfare-state socialism. So they also deserve everything that comes with it. Same goes for America. Let’s see if Americans correct their colossal mistake in November.

Not astonishing at all. To paraphrase Stephen A. Douglas, it is the logical, inevitable outcome of the race to socialism. And people in the USA will eventually take this view too. Lenin would have been surprised at the pace of his ideas catching hold on gullible people.
