scott asked: Is anyone really having their right to criticize religion infringed?
It seems that criticism of religion is (at the very least) considered to be in 'bad taste'. That doesn't mean that there's not a lot of it about. But religion does tend to get a much more slack than any other comparable belief system - politics for instance. We also still have blasphemy laws over here as well as the new 'Incitement to Religious Hatred' legislation which many people are worried about - particularly comedians (funnily enough)
scott asked: What the bullocks is going on over the UK?
Many things I suspect. As far as I'm aware though this particular poster was produced by Americans with other Americans in mind. Maybe I should ask what the bullocks is going on in the US? [grin]
Oh, and welcome back to the Bloggo-verse. Many of us miss your input. I for one certainly enjoy debating with you.

Unless it's criticism of other people's religion, in which case it's called patriotism.
