God and Britain
22 September 2004 by RonThis document from the British House of Lords (Religious Offences in England and Wales) is kind of interesting. It outlines some of the legal detail of the crime of blasphemy in the UK — which, for all the bullshit neo-theocracy in the US, isn’t actually illegal here, what with the roadblock of the 1st amendment and all. The document opens with this chilling line: “1. Blasphemy (and blasphemous libel) is a common law offence with an unlimited penalty.”
