Another week, another free-speech defying ban in Britain

We read:
"This particular ban involved a set of British Humanist Association (BHA) adverts featuring the slogan, ‘If you’re not religious, for God’s sake say so’. The reason for this rather oblique command is that the BHA wants people in the UK to respond to the 2011 UK census question ‘What is your religion?’ by ticking the box marked ‘no religion’.

Unfortunately for the BHA, the owners of advertising space in UK rail stations, aided and abetted by advice from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Committee of Advertising Practice, have not only correctly discerned a ‘religious nature’ to the BHA’s campaign, they have also decided that such ads are likely to cause ‘widespread’ and ‘serious offence’. And where there’s offence to be caused, censorship is sure to follow.

Nobody is allowed to offend anybody in Britain, apparently. Doing all sorts of violent crimes is OK however. Read how much this Muslim guy got away with before they finally locked him up. I'll bet his victims felt pretty offended.

With government priorities like that I pity people who have to live in Britain. No wonder so many emigrate.

Yet you hear no outcry from the British people. Are they in fact, a nation of PC'ized pansys?

4:07 PM :- You're obviously not very well tuned into the UK media as there is a constant barrage of anti-PC complaints!
