Before we even had time to take in the madness of what happened in Birmingham, we got news from Leeds about the arrest of a man for insulting Muhammad. Video footage shows a bloke taunting a ‘pro-Palestine’ march with barbs about the Islamic religion. He’s grabbed and cuffed by cops. He asks why he’s being arrested and the reply of the arresting officer is one of the most unnerving things I’ve ever heard a police officer say: ‘Because you called Muhammad a rapist and a killer.’
There it is, on film, for the world to see: the arrest of a man in Britain in 2026 for taking the piss out of a supposed prophet. This is an abomination. We binned our blasphemy laws in 2008, so why the hell is someone being hauled off for spicy remarks about Islam? Everyone who values liberty, especially the liberty to utter, should be horrified that our police are behaving like Islamic Republic goons and manhandling someone for ‘speaking ill’ of Islam.
