Metropolitan Police officers have been filmed threatening to arrest a Christian preacher over allegations of hate crime.

    Video posted on social media showed a group of at least five officers demanding the names of the evangelist worshippers after a member of the public alleged that they had been racist and homophobic.

    The row was filmed outside the Pavilions shopping centre on Uxbridge High Street in west London and posted to YouTube last week, where it has amassed 71,000 views. There were no arrests.

    1. What’s happening in our beloved country. A section of it can chant in thousands and even tens of thousands for many weeks and they are not harassed. Whilst Christians are not allowed to share the gospel of love & peace.

    2. i bet 100% they have not got any details of the person who made the alegation in the first place,pathetic woke police who would run 100 meters faster than linford christie could ever do if they had to tackle a real dangerous criminal,and they would not be chasing that criminal they would be going in the opposite direction

    3. All that happened was that he was asked for his details because somebody reported a crime. Of course we should be annoyed free speech but we should also be happy to give our details because it is also the law. By all means campaign to change the law but the officers aren't the issue, they were polite and disciplined. I'm a Christian, I want the gospel preached but the law is the law so just be nice to the Police.

    4. Just to add I've found the huge increase in antisemitism in our country against minority jews alarming and distressing and frightening. But the police just allow it to go on because there's more of the antisemites than police. But one lone ranger christian preacher is an easy target for them. How cowardly of them.Thats what i call bullying with a uniform on.
