You mean you haven't heard about those cases? It's not spraying centuries old statues - it's the catholics complaining about being offended again:

Not to mention that a whole bunch of things just got criminalized online if they offend the church, like........mentioning that it's the leading source of pedophiles in this country:

The number of police interventions for people being offended online due to religion has been going up steadily every year:

>>"Insulting religion" in UK is serious offense punishable by death!

I am aware of that case, like I said, it shouldn't happen and two wrongs don't make a right. But I definitely feel like you are far more likely to get into trouble for this in Poland than in the UK, and it has nothing to do with the level of surveilance in society.

So one pending case and some opinion pieces. Do you have actual person who did time in jail? I can provide some for UK....

> mentioning that it's the leading source of pedophiles in this country

Ehm, Rotherham...?

> two wrongs don't make a right

You claim Poland is much worse. I want similar case from Poland...

> I definitely feel like you are far more likely to get into trouble for this in Poland than in the UK

Poland is a post communist country, there is a big aversion to totalitarian govs. Comparing LGBT activism in rural Poland and ultra liberal parts of London, is not valid. Go to Luton or Yorkshire and see what happens...

Oh, you mean like Pride in Luton (https://prideinluton.org/) or Yorkshire Pride? (https://www.yorkshire.com/inspiration/features/yorkshire-pri...)
