PC police waste time and money

Politically correct police questioned a christian couple about their moral beliefs - after they were reported by their local council.

Quite reasonably the couple sued the police and Wyre Borough Council, claiming the incident had breached their rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religion.

The police and council say they have come to an agreement regarding the claim and that they have apologised to the couple for "the way the incident was handled".

But there should never have been an incident at all. I don't agree with the couple's views. But why shouldn't christian literature be displayed alongside gay rights literature? Why did a council employee take exception? And why did the police take any notice?

Are we to be told who wasted the time and money that we pay for? Let's not hold our breath.
