British street preacher Andy Robertson says all he wants from his community in eastern England is the freedom to disagree.

Police have threatened to arrest the U.K. preacher for allegedly making homophobic statements.

Once a month Andy Robertson makes his way to this street corner in Gainsborough, England. He says he's been doing it for ten years as part of the Open Air Mission, a Christian organization that first began street preaching in England 146 years ago.

Queer power is as hateful and damaging as anything else.

I’d really like to see these British policemen try to pull the same stunt on Islamic street preacher.

Now the outcome of that stunt would be very interesting. They’d never dare...

“They just didn’t want me there,” Robertson said. “They said I would be causing an offense, breaking laws, but they couldn’t tell me exactly what laws I had been breaking.”

Anybody know a limey on the ground near there? ‘Cause the above make is sound a lot like he was just really really annoying and that people who couldn’t stand him anymore pulled the gay thing out of a hat to try to make him shut up and go away.

I’m somewhat sympathetic. I had to eat lunch near the bullhorn lady outside city hall in Philly for most of a summer. I used to agree with some of what she said. Then it stopped being cute. Then I found her annoying. Then I wish gang-bangers would steal her bullhorn.

Lefties only say that when they're out of power. In power, disagreeing with them is a crime.

It may already be here.

My advice: learn Hebrew and recite the verses in the original. If the libs still object call them bigots.
