Here's another meaty one. Looks like the British are going to start turning a blind eye to hate crimes. ----------------------------- Horse may not be gay, but it's still a nag January 13, 2006 London - A former English literature student at one of Britain's most prestigious universities will not be prosecuted after calling a police horse "gay". Magistrates in the city were told yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service - which oversees all criminal cases in England and Wales - did not wish to proceed. Two police cars had descended on the High Street in Oxford on May 30 last year to arrest student Sam Brown after he collared a mounted officer and said: "Excuse me, do you realise your horse is gay?" The 21-year-old, who was out celebrating the end of his final exams at the University of Oxford, was arrested and hauled before court for making "homophobic comments" and refusing to pay a £80 (about R850) fine. - Sapa-AFP thestar.co.za

"You can’t defend freedom while abandoning it at home," the source said, speaking of Gore's planned remarks. "The founders thought about this. They didn’t want a king, that’s why they didn’t set up a system to anoint a king. We have checks and balances in this country and we cannot abandon them." rawstory.com]
