The Christian Institute spearheaded the Reform Section 5 campaign to get the word ‘insulting’ removed from Section 5 of the Public Order Act, as part of the Crime and Courts Bill.
After a lengthy campaign, which included support from celebrities including Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry, the then Home Secretary Theresa May eventually agreed. The change is now incorporated in Section 57 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 which came into force on 1 February 2014.

politicians are elected by their constituents. they are only as "smart" as the people who elect them. my friends in/from places like Oklahoma, Texas and Florida are all terrified of their elected officials.

Problem is that many politicians are also obstructed by the limitation of what the public allows them to say. Say one word that the public doesn't like and all the empty cans start to rattle and his or her effort to conduct a certain policy is over without any real debate.

Current establishment follows some kind of "guidelines" which means they are a part of some kind of ongoing plot (conspiracy). What needs to be done is: all the politicians who follow such "guidelines" need to be arrested as suspects for commiting "treason" then you go all the way up from people who gives such "guidelines" to people who organised all this mess.

Methinks the only way Mr. Atkinson would end up in a political position was if the UK reintroduced National Service targeting competent and capable individuals to be placed into a position of leadership within the government for a few years at a time. Clearly, few level-headed, intelligent, successful, capable and trustworthy individuals ever enter politics thus this may be the only method to actually create a viable long-term system of governance for this country!

That's because Atkinson is simply portraying pure truth. He's not trying to hide anything and tying himself up in knots. The exact same way the priests were when covering up the sex abuse charges. But of course he's a highly refined, educated, gentleman and that helps but mainly the first reason.

And how would you feel if someone controlled your speech and movements every day? Let's say I was the one calling the shots - I could make blasphemy laws, make LGBTQ illegal, and any propagation of such subjects would result in an arrest and fine. Anybody mocking anything Christian related would leave them jobless and potentially jailed. Harsh? Unfair? That's how it feels to be censor by woke giants whom you are choosing to side with. You see you don't think about how it would make you feel if your beliefs were seen as taboo. Why? Coz you are on the politically correct side which grants you acceptance and freedom to speech. So I encourage you to take a step back and put yourself in other people's shoes, and realise what you are really supporting. When freedom of speech is gone tyranny flourishes.

@@skydivenext When Atkinson says that he puts freedom of speech above shelter, you know he's a person of privilege by wealth. Homeless people want shelter more than freedom of speech to preserve whatever dignity and self respect they have left. Atkinson has never been in their shoes and can't understand them. I am therefore not surprised that he would despise Mr Bean as the moronic character he portrays from his position of privilege. Perhaps that why he is so good in making others laugh at him too. In the same measure, he is unable to see the perspective of victims of offensive speech. He advocates freedom of speech to give more of the offensiveness to get victims to become more tolerant of it! In another word, fight abuse by giving more abuse, a dangerous suggestion. He is talking from the white privilege of the majority not on the receiving end of offensive language. I wonder why he's called wise.

A Nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I never miss an opportunity to listen to Mr. Bean's speech. The art in his delivery of speeches is titilating.

Watching him in a lot of his tv and movie appearances you can forget how intelligent and eloquent he really is. Just shows how good he is at acting and he is also one of the funniest people alive. His grasp of comedy is unreal and he understands it in a way most of us cannot.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. When politics becomes a comedy, and comedy becomes politics, all that we are left with, is truly a tragedy.

Christianity is the reason for most of this being allowed to happen. It is a fabricated religion, that at its core is about doing what they want you to do. If someone does evil against you, let them. Turn the other cheek. Do not seek justice or change. Slaves obey your masters Please stop throwing your religion in front of people, especially since it is such dogshit.
