Brilliantly argued. A grim & compelling warning to us all.

Great piece Mike. I was so pleased when the Judge chucked this out. I thought our judiciary hadn't entirely lost its common sense We will be well and truly scuppered if Mr Cocksun doesn't win his appeal. I sincerely hope the common sense of Mr Justice Bennathan prevails with the three appeal judges.

This is again appalling behaviour this is a Christian country and as such Christian values we are not a Muslim country and therefore do as we do don’t demand we change for them. Keep up the good work, you are missed. Roll on next week.

This sounds very much like victim blaming… if you do anything that might make someone lacking in self control attack you – well, that's your fault!

They will not give in will they? They are going to Islamify us and take away our freedom of speech at all costs, they are willing to fight to the death to destroy this sovereign land of ours. … well wee can fight just as hard as we have more to lose.

This is what happened in Birmingham at Villa Park with the Tel Aviv match. They banned whoever they did (I wasn't following it closely I am not a football fan) and the reason given was that it would incite violence from the "local community" IOW Muslim.

The CPS should have left this well alone. They're stirring this up deliberately because they want to remove our freedom of speech. Absolute disgrace

Could open whole can of worms..

judge: and why Mrs Jennis did you punch the person who called you right wing in the face?

Me: well judge I would never have done it if I hadn’t been offended…

Starmer at PMQs has just renamed the Blasphemy Law to Anti Muslim Hatred and thought he could get away with it and he needs to be removed from office and investigated for his actions against the people of this country especially investigated for his love of China 🤬🤬

Great read. Let’s hope the CPS lose. I wonder if they will use The Public Order Act 1986, which includes inciting hatred on the grounds of religion. Will be interesting to keep an eye on.

Well said, victim blaming of course, a look what you made me do judgement that flies in the face of free speech. This appeal needs to be won, if not we’re back to the Crusades…….put me down for the Knights Templar!!

As an American (Beaumont, Texas), reading this story makes me sad and worried for everyone in the UK. Just remember, Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. Keep speaking the truth Mike!
