URGENT ACTION ALERT: Consultation on Freedom of Speech
The Home Office is currently consulting on whether to remove the word ‘insulting’ from section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

This consultation is extremely important because a number of Christians, including street preachers, have been arrested under section 5. It represents a continuing threat to freedom of speech and we would like to see the word removed.

The Christian Concern response can be read here > http://www.christianconcern.com/sites/default/files/Section%205%20Consultation%20response.pdf
for helpful information.
Please respond to questions 1 to 9 in part 1. Later parts of the consultation deal with others issues which you can ignore.

You can also e-mail the Home Office with your comments at: PolicePowers@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

The consultation closes on 13 January 2012.
