Police drag away a man for saying he likes bacon near a sprawling mosque construction site | Blaze Media

A stated affinity for pork — like silent Christian prayer — is now an arrestable offense in the land of St. George.

The State Department admonished the U.K. this week against continuing its clampdown on free speech and persecution of Christians, once again blasting the penalties handed out to those Britons who dare to engage in silent prayer near abortion facilities.

It turns out that British pork lovers may similarly be in need of such advocacy.

A Englishman in the northwest of the country was arrested on Aug. 16 for expressing an affinity for bacon — a food forbidden by the Quran but essential to a full English breakfast. Apparently, such an utterance now qualifies as "racial abuse."

Census data indicates that the number of people in England and Wales identifying as Christian dropped from 59.3% in 2011 to 46.2% in 2021. During the same 10-year stretch, the number of respondents identifying as Muslim rose from 4.9% to 6.5% — an increase of well over 1 million people.

To accommodate England and Wales' fast-growing Muslim population, there has in recent years been an explosion in the number of mosques across the isle. This expansion has made its way to the town of Dalton-in-Furness in the English county of Cumbria, which is set to get its first mosque.

If loving Bacon is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

Sounds like they need to do what we did 250 years ago and throw out the rif raf.

LOL....Mah empire.

You're not educated on the matter. Saying you love bacon is not the issue, and anyone can do so. So if you're stopped in the street and a survey is being conducted about breakfasts, you are more than welcome to say you love bacon or you love sausages etc..

What happened was in the context and intent, "We/I love bacon", was used in. So his motive was to cause disorder knowing in the circumstances if would antagonise others, which could incite violence or disorder. So he's getting pulled for that.

I guess you're a Yank because the thickness shines through with a good few of them.

Being arrested for this is ridiculous anyway you put it.

So much for free speech in the U.K.

So much for free speech in the U.K.

Omg. So much for American braincells.

Have you missed the 6 billion conversations on the topic?

Freedom of speech is a component of the broader human right of freedom of expression. Freedom of expression covers all ways of seeking, receiving, and imparting information and ideas, including spoken words, writing, artistic works, and actions, whereas freedom of speech specifically refers to the right to articulate opinions and ideas through spoken or written words without fear of retaliation or censorship. Both rights are fundamental to democracy, but they are not absolute and can be subject to limitations to prevent harm, hatred, or violence, according to Amnesty International.

Both Freedom of Speech in the US and Freedom of Expression in the UK and EU are subject to limitations. The thread op is an example of a limitation and no more. Do you guys feel the moment when your brains vacate your head when the gob opens??

And your country's standard of limitation is ******* absurd. How fragile are you people?

And you have nerve to insult our brain cells...

How in the hell did you people ever practically rule the world?

FAKE NEWS

The guy was carrying a knife and that was the principal reason for detaining him .

The Bacon bit is simply the Media desperate to make a mountain out of nothing.
Completely secondary to a yob, who had probably been drinking , who was armed with a vicious weapon .

 

[whitehall]

Another reminder that the guaranteed freedoms listed in the Bill of Rights amendments to the U.S. Constitution do not exist anywhere else in the world.

 

[Rawley]

So much for free speech in the U.K.

How does "We love bacon" incite violence?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Meanwhile, Pakistani rape gangs...



But, but, so much for American brain cells... DERP...

 

[YoursTruly]

London council has ordered the removal of their own flags that were put up by London citizens. And now they can't even say "We like bacon" in public.



Proof The UK Has Turned On It’s Own

Every conversation flies through many heads on here because when a story breaks, the usual garbage spews out. The site is repetitive. I'll bookmark this thread so when the next story hits the headlines, I can all refresh your memories. But even then, it won't sink in.
