Flashback: A London police officer threatens a Jewish man with arrest because his 'openly Jewish' appearance is offensive to the local Muslim population. What is your response to this police officer?

Christians, Jews, Sikhs and Hindus have all prayed in Trafalgar Square. Nick Timothy singled out Muslims, then had the brass neck today to sit on the front bench. He should be sacked. The Tories are following Reform into the gutter. Neither are fit to govern.

This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union. I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith. But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

Listen to the bullshit the BBC is spewing this morning about the Islamic Regime chief Ali Larijani, calling him a “moderate” and Jeremy Bowen saying he was “a man you could maybe do business with” Disgusting. Larijani was part of a barbaric dictatorship hell-bent on massacring his own people, destroying the Jews, America and the West. There’s a reason you hear the Iranian people call them “Ayatollah BBC”
