Campaign Story
Do you believe in the right to criticise?
This campaign aims to assist with the funding of an upcoming case to defend a prosecution of Sections 18 and 19 of the Public Order Act, which relates to race and religious hatred. The crime? It’s not race or religious hatred as you might expect. The crime is actually for criticising Islamic terrorists and Islamic cultural extremism.
In the UK we have a right to freedom of expression and that allows us to criticize, mock, ridicule, insult etc**. That is it seems unless the subject of the criticism is Islamic extremism, then there is a risk that the criticism might incite racial hatred towards the whole of the Islamic community – according to the British Transport Police that is.
The crime itself was posting around 25 humorous stickers at around 10 locations in London and the Home Counties. A crime which resulted in a 5 hour long raid, imprisonment and interview before being bailed conditionally until late January 2017 under the threat of prosecution and likely jail time.
Do you believe in the right to criticise? Do you agree that we have a right to point a finger at things that are bad and say so? If you believe this then please support this cause as if this fails there is a serious chance that a dangerous precedent will be set where UK citizens can no longer have freedom of expression.

A total BS charge against someone raising awareness of a real and pressing issue. Will contribute again if they press charges. Stay strong.

I wish I could afford to donate more. I hope every little helps. The attack on free speech, whether we agree with a certain comment it or not, will bring this country to its knees. We are bringing up a generation of weak wills, who will find offence and cry at anything. I dislike hate speech, but having a little fun and a joke about things makes us educated and tolerant. We are being forced to be tolerant to the intolerable with Islam. Why are so many heads in the sand? Because you can't debate Islam without causing offence. That in itself is a massive problem within. Nothing can change or evolve without discussion. Good Luck

The tide has turned & has become a titlewave and as we know once that titlewave has started no man, no women, no Govt, no vested interests can stop it. Yes they can fight against it, they can go to higher ground but unless they turn into a dictatorship regardles we the people will continue to fight back
