Rod Liddle weighs in on the recent flap in where a "community support officer" (the worst idea in the history of law enforcement) threatened to arrest two Christian evangelicals for trying to preach the gospel in Birmingham:
You may argue that the policeman was merely trying to keep the peace — in which case, we might as well say that Alum Rock Road is, in a serious sense, no longer a part of Britain, no longer under central jurisdiction. Like it or not — and believe me, West Midlands police do not like it one bit — Alum Rock Road is now a no-go area for proselytising Christians; perhaps it has been for some time. But now it is a no-go area officially, according to the local police force — unless they do something about it, quickly.
If this state of affairs is not reversed quickly and decisively, then the government will now have to explain how immigration has become colonisation and why they are colluding in it.
