Churchill would be arrested if he said them today. Islam is terrorism, and they are TERRORISING the UK.

Liberty GB? Sounds like a Libertarian party...for GB.

“A member of the public took offence”

Ohhh. Did it hurt your feelings? Deal with it, pansy.

Let me guess, the persom making the complaint was a Baptist. :)

15 to 20 years? You are so generous. Maybe within two years quoting the Founding Fathers gets one in prison. Now it gets one on a “workplace violence” watch list.

ping!

If you’re catching flak, you’re over the target.

So if Churchill was alive today and publicly quoted his own book, then he would have been hauled off to the pokey too? Britain is finished.

Winston Churchill was banned by the BBC for saying "alarmist" and "hateful" things about Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Very true, Churchill’s own party tried to kick him out for dare saying that Hitler was a bad guy.

Today, Winston Churchill himself would be arrested for making this speech.

Did they arrest the guy who butchered a British soldier in broad daylight?

Yes, of course. Arrested, tried and convicted. Whereas Weston, the subject of this 6-month old story, was released without charge almost immediately - something the re-poster of the article didn't, apparently, see fit to mention.

What this world needs is a few more Churchills.
