Why not kick back and relax until then...all of us.
I doubt very much we will much more about this case, to be honest. By December there will be other news to cover and this will have been forgotten and it won't suit the right-wing press, or the "Christian" Institute, to report that the couple harassed and harangued this woman. Which is a shame, because the general public will now be left with a distorted view of the law and legal proceedings. Whenever someone finds something critical to say about a religion, we all be told that the PC brigade will go to police and have them arrested, because we can't say Jesus wore sandals, or Mohammed's beard looked a bit funny. This incident will be used to ridicule any thoughts of open and frank discussion.

So the Christian (a term I use very loosely) Institute will have won their immoral high ground and the BNP will cite this case every time they are shouted down because of their vile and abhorrent rhetoric.

I wonder if this couple will object about their image being used to promote the BNP at election time.

But it doesn't say to me that they were prepared to engage in a rational and balanced discussion with the woman. I would say that having one of the most important person in her life being referred to as a warlord would cause just as much upset. Oddly enough, we don't see many Christians complaining about Judaism seeing Jesus as nothing more than a common a criminal, do we?
