THE BRITISH INQUISITION

The latest victim to feel the pressure of the British Inquisition is childcare expert, Lynette Burrows, who is the author of Fight For The Family.

Miss Burrows was contacted by the police relating to comments she had made on Radio Five Live, when she stated that she did not believe that gay men should be allowed to adopt boys. She believed that the risk of such adoption was as obvious as allowing two heterosexual men to adopt a girl.

It would seem that the comments provoked a complaint to the police, who contacted Miss Burrows the next day. Miss Burrows said:

‘This very serious voice read me a lecture about homophobia, telling me there had been a homophobic incident recorded.

I asked why she was wasting my time and hers when crime is out of control, and what crime I had committed. She said: “Oh, it’s not a crime” but said it was their policy to investigate remarks that the homosexual community regarded as homophobic.

She was definitely leaning on me and I regard it as sinister in the extreme. It’s a free country and I am entitled to express my opinion on matters of public importance.’

A Metropolitan police spokesman said that racist, homophobic and domestic incidents were ‘priority crimes’ and that:

‘It is standard practice for all parties to be spoken to, even if the incident is not strictly seen as a crime. It is about reassuring the community.’

Of course, it is in fact about pandering to the politically correct. The general public are not reassured by such overt police implementation of politically correct ideology.

Needless to say, the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation condemned Miss Burrows’s views as being ‘challenging and unpleasant’. One can always rely upon the BBC.
