Ok I can see the offensive side to this but the penalty is a bit over the top - guess I better save my t-shirt for 'special occasions' :twisted:

Could someone be offended by people in the street trying to preach their religion onto non-believers??

The sooner I get out of the UK the better, what is it with all these draconian laws!

I couldn't find a link but in todays The Sun (tabloid newspaper) there's a story about a 10 year old lad being quizzed by police over racist comments when he was walking past a french neighbours house humming the Crazy Frog ringtone!!!

Edit: Here's the story ~ Link

My point exactly - and I bet that young kid has been on the receiving end of more racial harassment than many of the frogs (uh I mean our amphibious neighbours) living in the UK.
