Teenager faces prosecution for calling Scientology 'cult'

So next week I guess we can expect to see the banners amended to read "Scientology: it's a total c**t"

My guess is that the CPS will drop this like a hot brick and the bench is unlikely to look kindly on the case if they don't. If not, it'll go all the way to Strasbourg if it has to and will be thrown out there. I pity the poor kid though.

Anyway, cult isn't an insulting term - one after all has fertility cults, the cults of various saints, the cult of Isis, the cult of Apollo etc etc. Besides which, Scientology is a cult, by the dictionary definition, as well as the theological, anthropological, historical, comparative religious and of course popular ones. Also the Interior Ministries of both France and Germany define the Hubbard Fans as a dangerous cult.
