Koran burning case: CPS tried to create a ‘backdoor blasphemy law’ | David Shipley

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 08:41:07 GMT

This week, Sir Joel Bennathan KC overturned the conviction of Hamit Coskun — a Turkish ex-Muslim prosecuted for burning a Quran outside the Turkish consulate.

The judge reminded the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of a fundamental principle: there is no offence of blasphemy in English law. The CPS had attempted to use public order legislation to punish Coskun for “offending religious feelings” — a move journalist David Shipley describes as an attempt to create a “backdoor blasphemy law.”

Shipley joins Josh Howie to discuss why this case is a pivotal moment for free speech in Britain, how CPS lawyers effectively invented a charge, and why this issue won’t end here unless politicians hold the CPS to account.

‘Trans Child’ Is a Dangerous Myth | US Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Gender Transitions for Children

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 12:06:19 GMT

The US Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender transition treatments for minors, ruling 6–3 that such restrictions do not constitute sex discrimination. Lawyer and author Kara Dansky says the decision marks a turning point — rejecting the idea of the “trans child” as incoherent and harmful. With 25 states having similar laws, this could set a national precedent. Dansky also argues the Biden administration is out of step with voters, and that Democrats lost ground in 2024 due to their embrace of gender ideology
