I find this sort of thing so scary.

The baker refused to bake a cake that conflicted with his beliefs. He runs a private business. How can that possibly be unlawful.

In my view, refusing to serve a gay person on grounds of sexuality - wrong wrong wrong.

Refusing to bake a cake that displays a message offensive to the baker - totally fine.

I am presuming of course that he would (and has) baked lots of different cakes for gay people for birthdays etc.

What was offensive about the Bert and Ernie cake though?
Did they ask for Bert to be f**king Ernie up the bum?

It had a link to a local gay rights support group in icing on it

To be honest I thought prosecuting the Christian guest house owners for not letting the gay couple share a bed in their family home was bang out of order.

Likewise.

Ironically, the Equality Act is some of the most intolerant legislation there is.

It's not me is it?

Really and where does that leave the Hamas leadership ordering people into houses about to be bombed?

I don't much like Netanyahu or the actions of his government.

But come on there's nuance.

Who the f**k do these wankers think they are?

Both sides are as bad as each other with their tit for tat actions

But with regards to the situation in that region Hamas are in the right - the Israelis are wrong wrong wrong

Plus if Hamas used a pea shooter against the Israelis - Israel would use a rocket propelled grenade launcher in response
