A Muslim Police Chief Inspector for Greater Manchester has indicated that, according to his understanding, “Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of offending culture, religion or tradition”.When asked if Mr. Khan and the police force generally support the right to offend religious beliefs, the Greater Manchester Police press office told Breitbart London: “I don’t think we support anyone who would want to say anything offence[sic]”.
“It’s a storm in a tea cup… It’s about promoting tolerance, freedom of speech, that’s all he meant with it. He didn’t mean for it to be taken in an offensive way at all… it’s ironic, freedom of speech is what he’s now getting in trouble for”, the press office added.
A Greater Manchester Police Spokesperson added in an official statement: “A GMP Chief

It’s London, so they don’t have quite the same Free Speech protection that the US (allegedly) enjoys, so in this case the Chief might be correct, at least from a de facto perspective.
“culture, religion or tradition”
...that pretty much covers it there sissy pants. You can relate any one of these 3 into any form of speech.
He is correct, they do prosecute over there for such things.
What a sad state that became of the once mighty empire. Not only did they give up to muslims and PC culture, they actively laid their necks on the chopping blocks so as not to offend their murderous invaders. English white pride created an empire that spanned centuries. English white guilt destroyed their nation in 60 years.
I think we should accept his statement, because they are “offending our traditions” and that means they are to be arrested.
Btw Islam also offends my religion.

When free speech goes, so goes the country.
Muslim First ,Screw The Rest
Here’s the real game that no one wants to acknowledge.
Muslims, Mexicans, blacks are all racist groups that block vote, demand special rights and have animus for whites and Christians.
You are NOT the “victim” when you all vote in 90% lock step. You are the problem.
You are NOT the victim when your group abuses women, gays, murders, rapes, beheads and launches wars worldwide. You are the problem.
And guess what...the Metropolitan Police in Greater London now report to the muslim Mayor, Sakiq Khan.
Of course he doesn’t support this when things are said of Christians because as a muslim he considers Christianity offensive.
And in Canada as well.
There is no true freedom of speech for friends up north, or in Oz for that matter.

Aug 29, 2011 ... To be honest, I didn’t really think much about “freedom of speech” until I found myself the subject of three “hate speech” complaints in Canada in 2007. ... No member of the public actually complained, but, as Constable Adams
RE: “He is correct, they do prosecute over there for such things.”
What about Western culture, Christian religion, and a traditional way of life??
They don’t count!
