By By Richard Milnes May 1, 2014 in Politics Winchester - Paul Weston, Chairman of Liberty GB, was arrested after quoting a passage from Churchill's ‘The River War’ book from the steps of Winchester Guildhall with a megaphone. He now faces two years in jail if found guilty. Police lay charges Paul Weston told Michael Coren from Canada’s Sun News station, “I was initially charged with a failure to obey a dispersal notice because my words were, well Winston Churchill’s words were causing offense and distress. I was then taken to the police station. That charge was dropped and I was rearrested on a racially aggravated crime under the public order act.” Government absolutely terrified of radical Islam He goes on to say in response to a question, “Well, it’s these terrible double standards we have over here because the government is absolutely terrified of radical Islam and of fundamentalist Muslims causing trouble on the streets, so they go out of their way not to arrest anybody from the Islamic community no matter what awfully dreadful things they get up to, but they will immediately arrest anybody from the non-Muslim side of it who dares to raise his voice in protest about what’s going on. “And the reason they do this is because if they have to admit that there is a serious problem with Islam then they would have to do something about it. And they are simply too careerist or too frightened to do anything about it. And that is the awful situation that we have in England and in Britain now.” Paul Weston could face two years jail Michael Coren asks, “…surely you cannot be convicted?” “I honestly don’t know. It’s gone to the Crown Prosecution Service. They have been taken over twenty, thirty years ago by the radical left. They will do their utmost to make sure it goes to court. If it goes to court, I would be most surprised if I was to lose, but one never knows and if I did lose, because its racially aggravated this now makes it a two year imprisonment. So, you know, I want to go to court, I want to argue my point, but I certainly don’t want to lose.” The Paul Weston is standing as a candidate for Liberty GB in the southeast region in the European elections, which will be held on 22 May. Speaking in the historic city of Winchester in the county of Hampshire, which was the capital city of England during Saxon times, Mr Weston quoted from a book, The River War which Churchill wrote in 1899 while he was a British army officer in Sudan.Paul Weston told Michael Coren from Canada’s Sun News station, “I was initially charged with a failure to obey a dispersal notice because my words were, well Winston Churchill’s words were causing offense and distress.
