In Manchester, a man was arrested for burning a Koran, stirring a heated debate over free speech. Greater Manchester Police faced backlash for naming the man publicly, which some argue endangered his safety. Dr. Ben Jones of the Free Speech Union criticized the arrest, asserting that burning the Koran isn’t a crime and labeling the police's actions as setting a dangerous precedent.
Nigel Farage highlighted perceived double standards, contrasting this with the unpunished burning of the Bible, spotlighting concerns of a two-tier justice system in the UK.
