Arguing that the UK is a nanny state because of gun ownership issues is not my thing, especially when there are freedom of conscience issues which imho are much more glaring.
Er, run this by me again. You have the right to call someone a [ahem] "fcukin n**gger" and nothing gets done about it and you regard this as a [if I've read this right?] a "freedom of conscience issue". Nice.
