Interesting study.

I've posted a photo of it as the website has a paywall.

I saw that on the BBC papers section last night, with some vegan ass hat complaining it was blasphemous and disrespectful to people of faith.

I have only just discovered that the blasphemy law wasn't repealed until 2008! That's bizarre! I thought we.would have dumped that by the 70s at the latest.

@Geoffrey51 It was attempted several times to repeal the blasphemy laws, but was always halted in the Lords by my lord bishops.
it was never repealed but a sneaky clause in the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, superseded it but unfortunately left a back door open which has been the basis of many so called "hate crime" offences, but by the time anyone noticed it was gone, blasphemy itself was no longer an offence or the even more ludicrous Libelous Blasphemy laws that actually allowed for prosecution for and on behalf of God if God was libeled in print.
The last time this law was used to attempt a prosecution it was by the late unlamented self appointed guardian of the national morals Mrs. Mary Whitehouse who tried to bring a prosecution against "The Romans in Britain" by Howard Brenton in 1980, after an attempted prosecution under the sexual offenses act was dismissed.

here is a picture of Mrs Whitehouse campaigning against media filth with her friend and fellow moralist Sir Jimmy Saville

@Eclipsechaser I know, odd that isn't it, and how many of them, like himself, got titles and honours galore

Posted by HawkeyeNew to this group, thanks for having me :) Thought I would share something that has had my poor wee atheist brain turning for a few days (the article is a few days old).

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
