A Christian gospel singer was approached by the police while busking in central London. In a video of the conversation, one of the officers tells the singer she is not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds, and later sticks her tongue out. For many of those furiously sharing this video online, it is further evidence of how the secular authorities in this country are trying to unfairly push Christianity out of the public square. But is there really a problem with freedom of speech in the UK, or is this just one isolated incident of a confused copper not understanding the law? Is Britain actually becoming increasingly intolerant of orthodox belief, and if so, what – if anything – should the church be doing about this? • Read more about the gospel busker and the police video here https://premierchristian.news/en/news/article/met-police-apologises-after-officer-told-christian-busker-she-couldn-t-sing-outside-church-grounds • Read Heather Tomlinson’s magazine feature on free speech here https://www.premierchristianity.com/features/is-free-speech-under-threat/17106.article
