In December 2005, Helen and Joe Roberts were reported to the Lancashire Constabulary after they asked the Wyre Borough Council to display literature promoting Christianity in addition to their literature promoting homosexuality. When the Council refused to do this, Mrs Roberts complained by telephone, saying in the course of her call that homosexual practices were morally wrong. As a result, two police officers visited the Roberts at their home and interviewed them for an hour and twenty minutes about their beliefs.Supported by the Christian Institute, the couple sued the Council and the Police and were due a hearing in the High Court next month. The Council and the Police have both settled out of court (£10,000 plus costs) and issued public apologies.
Mr and Mrs Roberts have already announced that they will donate the £10,000 to the Christian Institute. It is well worth looking at the website of this group. There are some very good and balanced articles outlining the threats posed by our Government. See particularly the page Primary school children could be forced to read gay rights books and the pdfs of their briefings.

Fantastic news!
Just proves that when ordinary folk stand up and challenge the idiotic politically correct agendas of the day these agendas crumble. Why? Because they are based on lies and evil.
It is only when good people do nothing that evil prevails.
Let the new year herald in a host of 'Mr and Mrs Robert's' across the UK and elsewhere to fight policies that are blatantly anti-life and anti-family, that try to blur our vision of what the family unit stands for, that threaten our Catholic schools and education and that mock our Catholic Faith.
A Happy and Holy New Year 2007 to all.
Thanks for posting this Father. For me it's important to make Christians realise the level of persecution we are facing in this country. And although it's excellent the couple eventually won, this case should never have come about in the first place!
