  15. A Daily Mail article about both Labour and Islam. I bet it’s very fair and balanced.

  19. Maybe, instead of defining islamophobia, we should be defining hate speech in general. Singling out one niche is going to only make it worse, in my opinion.

  22. Labour well on the way to a 17 tier society. Feel like I’m right down at the bottom.

  23. Who voted for this? When labour campaigned for the last election, I don’t recall them ever telling me if I voted for them that they’d introduce blasphemy laws to protect Islam.

    Every religion should be able to be mocked and I simply don’t care if people from any particular religion are offended by this. Your god is not special. We are not a theocracy.

  24. For a country as godless as the uk, starting a domestic holy war is just crazy.

  25. Will we protect flat earthers next?

    If you can’t criticize thoughts ands beliefs what can you criticize? I get protecting things out of people’s control like race and disabilities.

  26. It’s a very dangerous road we are on, the Church and State are separate for a good reason. By allowing one group special privileges, it creates a Us vs Them mentality

    It makes you wonder why this is being pushed and by whom

  27. Believing any headline the daily fail put out is hilarious.

  28. Everyday I’m astonished we’re so quick to do things about this but equality activists have had an uphill battle for centuries. Lmao.

  29. “Hi Nigel. Yeah I know it’s early, but was wondering if you wanted that portrait of Thatcher hung back up for when you move in?”

  30. In other news, Labour are increasing their efforts to get Farage elected as the next PM.

  31. And then, without a hint of irony, Labour will ask “Why are people supporting Reform?”

  32. Since there is an antisemitism definition, why not an islamophobia definition?

  33. They want to make a law so a religion that wants to kill all atheists and gays cannot be criticised by the very people who they themselves are threatening.

  34. Ah [removed] everywhere. On a free speech concern topic. Oh irony…
