re: Video: London police forcefully arrest 71-year-old pastor for "allegedly homophobic commen

Police said they had received complaints the man had been making 'allegedly homophobic comments' and arrested him under the Public Order Act, which can be used under the vague proviso that someone is using 'abusive or insulting words' that cause 'harm' to someone else. He was later released without charge.

So they can arrest you for saying essentially anything, as long as someone is offended....which basically means anything you say.
