UK } Mr. Bean To Jail for Insulting The New Law Not to Insult
To prison for 'insulting' terrorists and asking a cop if his horse was gay
*The British humor actor, Rowan Atkinson, known for his role as Mr. Bean, has been thrown into political activism seeking the repeal of a law that, in the UK, both verbally insulting prohibited by acts. The strict application of the special rules in recent times has led to the arrest of a Christian priest, gay activists, a critic of Scientology and a student.
A group of gay activists were arrested when they protested against the fundamentalist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which had called earlier to kill homosexuals, Jews and women "indecent". In 2005, a student was taken to the police station after asking a policeman if his horse was gay. The officer said the girl had made homophobic remarks that had offended pedestrians passing at that time on the street. In addition, a 16-year-old was arrested for holding a placard that read 'Scientology is a dangerous cult', as it was felt that it was insulting to the faithful of that movement.
Flanked by Conservative MP David Davis and Geoffrey Dear Lord, one of the most decorated police chiefs in the country, Mr. Bean has personally asked David Cameron to end the "culture of censorship and intolerance" driven by Public Order Act: "The problem that is punishable insult is that there are too many things that can be interpreted as an insult. Criticism, sarcasm ... can be relied upon," said the comedian. Also some voices in the country have risen against the rules because, in his opinion, are implementing a law overzealous not entirely clear what he means by "insult".
There are too many things that can be interpreted as an insult "There is a nasty censorious culture", denounced the interpreter in a statement that includes Daily Mail, "is a new intolerance".
The campaign urges Atkinson restore "freedom of speech" has always been "crucial part" in life in Britain. By the way, this is a Public Order Act of 1986 has not been revised and is in full force. So if you travel to England, be careful what you say in public because you can end up in jail
