A Christian couple awarded £10,000 after being questioned by police about their views on homosexuality have spoken of their victory.
"This is a great victory for Christianity, for civil liberties and for anyone who wants to express an opinion which may go against what the political correctness brigade think.

"It is ludicrous, but at least common sense has prevailed and the council and police have eaten a bit of humble pie.

“This was never about money. It was about principles.”
Mr and Mrs Roberts are to donate the £10,000 settlement to the Christian Institute, which supported them during their fight.
 
We had a thread on a somewhat different subject, where a person from a neighboring country told us that in his country, they “accept reasonable restrictions” on freedom.

This illustrates the flaw in that concept – there is always someone else willing to decide what’s reasonable for you.
