Reform UK’s Shadow Chancellor has been reported to the police and Prevent over his comments on Islam.
There can be no doubt that a de facto Islamic blasphemy law is operating in Britain today, 18 years after Parliament voted to abolish such laws.
A week ago, it was reported that comedian John Cleese had been referred to Prevent over his social media posts about Islam.
Elected representatives must be free to raise concerns about religious practices, political Islam and the influence of religion on British public life without automatically becoming the subject of police complaints or counter-extremism referrals.
Prevent, the Government’s counter-terrorism programme, must not become a means for activists to punish political opponents or silence criticism of religion. Its purpose is to protect people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism, not to police the boundaries of acceptable political or theological debate.
Blur that distinction and public confidence in one of the country’s most important counter-terrorism programmes is at risk.
The Free Speech Union stands with @RobertJenrick, @RupertLowe10 Lowe, @NJ_Timothy and @JohnCleese in defending their right to question, challenge, debate and mock Islam, its history and its practices. In a free society, no religion should be beyond criticism, and no one should face punishment merely for causing religious offence.

Interesting stats in light of the “£35B black hole” announced today. One to add, after WW2 less than 3% of people were deemed too sick to work (including those injured in war and with an inferior health service) …
People need to understand clearly what is happening here.
Andy Burnham has never been a fan of Britain’s democratic decision to leave the European Union in 2016. The referendum was one of the biggest democratic processes in modern Britain, with strong views on both sides.
The Prime Minister now claims officials told him that Russia interfered in the referendum.
Burnham used his first speech at the UN to announce the creation of the National Centre for Information Defence. He said it would tackle Russian misinformation that sows division, interferes in our democracy, spreads false narratives about Britain and pushes people towards the “far right”.
But today, a Foreign Office minister slapped down that claim, saying Russia was not successful in influencing the Brexit referendum.
It is clear that this new centre will almost certainly be used to clamp down on those who do not subscribe to Burnham’s vision of Britain or the progressive orthodoxies he promotes.
It looks as if Andy Burnham is now spreading misinformation about misinformation — the very thing he claims threatens democracy.

🚨🚨 Parliamentary scrutiny of the draft Conversion Practices Bill begins tomorrow.
This Bill is a blatant assault on free speech and religious freedom.
Unlike previous versions of similar legislation, it contains no carve-out for important conversations between parents and gender-confused children.
This sinister legislation could criminalise well-intentioned conversations between parents and children, as well as therapists’ work and religious leaders sharing their faith’s teachings with their congregations.
Parents could face up to five years in prison for trying to dissuade their children from embarking on life-changing, irreversible and potentially dangerous medical pathways.
We must defeat this Bill. The state has no business policing conversations around the family dinner table. If passed, this legislation could tear families apart and harm the very people the Government claims it wants to protect.

Hang on a minute. You need ID to access social media, but not to vote in a general election? Do explain the logic behind that one. Or could it have something to do with *COUGHS* electoral fraud and organised block voting for Labour in ethnic minority communities, particularly Muslim ones?
Well, well, well.
Burnham has to explain himself!
he has just insinuated Russian interference in the Brexit result. Even though a Parliamentary report says there was NONE and even the “approved single source of truth” press reported there was none.
So Burnham is effectively calling them all liars…. Or only HIS truth is the truth…. Which bodes even more badly that Starmer’s “truth”
