  • Have Blasphemy Laws Been Reintroduced in Britain?
    Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time we ask if blasphemy laws have been reintroduced in Britain since the prosecution of protestor Hamit Coskun for burning a Koran and criticising Islam in public. Would such a thing happen to someone burning the Bible? And does the secular state have any defences against the incursion of Islamic sentiment into the public square?All that plus:- Biblical scholar and Anglican bishop NT Wright goes woke on abortion.- Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick goes toe-to-toe with would-be Tube fare dodgers.- And Labour MP seeks to make abortion legal up to birth.Enjoy!Send your children to the King Alfred School! https://www.thekingalfredschool.co.uk/#Would you like to sponsor an episode?
