'Offensive words aren’t a crime!' Man arrested for saying ‘we love bacon’ outside mosque

Beat the system with TallyMoney. Gold you can spend. Discover more here: A man was arrested for chanting “We love bacon” outside the site of a planned mosque in the Lake District. Writer and broadcaster Andrew Doyle joins Josh Howie to discuss what this case says about the state of free speech in Britain. Doyle argues that “offensive” is not the same as illegal, and slams the Public Order Act and UK hate speech laws for allowing the state to police feelings rather than actions. He calls for a full rethink — from police training to the role of activist bodies like the College of Policing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
