British law protects freedom of speech, but the Crown Prosecution Service says a person can be charged with inciting racial hatred if they say or do something which is "threatening, abusive or insulting and, by doing so, either intends to stir up racial hatred, or makes it likely that racial hatred will be stirred up."

Gotta love how the AP unquestioningly reports that British law protects freedom of speech before in an article where it is evident, despite the AP propaganda, that British law does no such thing.

That’s like their saying that the US Constitution protects freedom of speech while trying to excuse the undermining of same by our domestic liberal elites.

that British law does no such thing.

And what the guy said was so innocuous it could in no way pass for hateful or inciting speech. The "anti-hate" speech laws are just ways for leftists to clamp down on conservatives.
