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"

When did this come into law, because the last Pride March I went on (2005 or 2006), there was a bunch of Christian Right wingers saying that homosexuality was a sin / crime against God and they were being allowed by the police to stand within sight of the march and wave their placards about.

It was funny in a way because the Christian were all grouped together in a small enclosure made out of those portable crash barriers.

The Act is 1986, but I haven't searched for a record of amendments to see if it's always been there. (Nor am I going to!)

I suspect it comes down to perceived insult/etc plus the offended party's attitude to it and whether they choose to involve the police would be a factor.

Glad they kept the Christians in a corral. It might be catching... ;)
