Euro candidate Paul Weston arrested over Islam remarks

A candidate in the South East European elections has been arrested after making a speech quoting from a book by Winston Churchill about Islam.

Paul Weston, chairman of Liberty GB, was making the speech on the steps of Winchester Guildhall in Hampshire on Saturday after a passer-by complained.

He was further arrested on suspicion of religious or racial harassment. [BBC] Read more
