🇬🇧 This is proper British (oh hush you progressives) A 76 year old man is before the courts with a test of equality before the law! … pay attention. Timothy Miller was arrested for wearing a burka at an anti-migration protest. So he’s turned up to court wearing it AGAIN! Because Section 157 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 provides a defence for face coverings worn for religious observance… It doesn’t say ONLY women. It doesn’t say ONLY Muslims. And the Equality Act protects religion or belief, while Article 9 protects the freedom to CHANGE religion. And clever Mr Miller says he’s “exploring Islam” So now the court is screwed (not a legal technical term) and must decide whether his actions qualify as ‘religious observance’ Because the law must be applied EQUALLY, regardless of sex, religion or political opinions. He’s challenging whether equality before the law really means equality for EVERYONE. (I think I love him) And I think that’s bloody brilliant!.. now we have to see if the law is going to show its cards! … Will it discriminate against this white man? exploring his religion? … of course it will. And then you will know … that this brave man took one for the team. Come on Team Britain 💣
