He is not a pillock!! Just because he is standing up for his beliefs, doesn’t mean he is a horrid person! The police have to be nice to the public, why can’t they be nice their own officer! If people do have belifs they should treated the same, and not judged. Yes he amy have scripture on his comuter, what the is the problem in that? some of the things he has done, was a bit silly but that doesnt make him a pillock! EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME, WHAT EVER THEIR RELIGON! SO GE OVER IT AND GET A LIFE!!!!

What utter tosh Bob Hutton spouts! Gay practices “sinful”? “Sin” is an invention of the religious, and the concept is utterly rejected by non-believers.

Yes, of course, we recognise right from wrong - and probably have a stronger commitment to morality than most god-botherers. That said, there is nothing whatsoever wrong in gay people expressing their sexuality, as indeed there there is nothing wrong with left-handers using a hand which fundamentalists regard as “demonic”.

When I was at school, people with a perfectly natural left-handed inclination were beaten for engaging in this “sinful” practice, which just goes to show what utter morons the religious can be.

Mr Rees, in his comments, makes a comparison between discrimination against blacks and against gays. The two are different - people are born black but people choose to engage in gay practices which are, of course, sinful. Will you refuse to publish this because it goes against your anti Christian beliefs?

It’s sad to see that the police force still is home to narrow minded people like this.

Hopefully he will take early retirement and disappear off onto the celebrity Christian after-dinner speaker circuit. At least then the rest of us won’t have to deal with him.

I read about this in The Daily Mail, which rather predictably span out the story as if it were outrageous that the policeman would have to go to such lengths to protect his bigoted beliefs. My favourite quote has to be ‘the blatant support for homosexual rights’. As if they should be ashamed of supporting equal rights! He seems to be geniuenly upset that the police no longer go around kicking the shit out of camp-looking men. And blacks of course. Remember: WWJD

‘The blatant support for homosexual rights in Norfolk Police makes being a Christian officer extremely difficult.’

Now, let’s take that viewpoint back in time a little…

‘The blatant support for Jew rights in Norfolk Police makes being a Christian officer extremely difficult.’

What a nasty, narrow-minded bastard. I hope he loses big time and ends up skint.

Sooner or later the government will have to bite the bullet and make it legal to sack religious bigots who refuse to do their jobs properly.

Judging by his age, this copper would be close to retirement. It’s not unusual for officers in that situation to suddenly have ‘accidents’, develop stress-related illnesses or otherwise discover problems which keep them off work and/or generate pay-offs instead of expensive court cases.
My guess is that he’ll quietly leave the force after the court case, with or without a nice bonus for ‘hurt feelings’, and then go on the celebrity Christian after-dinner speaker circuit.
I kid you not - there is such a circuit. One protegee of the infamous James Anderton I know of makes a tidy supplement to his pension from it as well as using it to flog his awful autobiographical books!
