At Prime Minister’s Questions (“PMQs”) Keir Starmer refused to rule out introducing blasphemy laws after a Labour MP demanded the Prime Minister prohibits the “desecration of religious texts”, including the Koran, GB News reported.
The question was put to Starmer by Tahir Ali, Labour MP for Birmingham Hall Green and Mosley, who represents Britain’s second-most Muslim constituency. Although Ali made mention of all Abrahamic religions, his question was framed in the context of the UK marking Islamophobia Awareness Month.

David Davis, Member of Parliament for Goole and Pocklington, tweeted a clip from yesterday’s PMQs and said, “For centuries, one of the most important features of Britain’s freedom of speech is the absolute right to criticise religion. Freedom of speech is fundamental to everything we have and everything we stand for. I regret Keir Starmer did not make that clear to Mr Ali at PMQs.”
The Times columnist and regular writer for the Wall Street Journal Matt Ridley, re-tweeted Davis’ tweet with the comment, “A truly black moment for Britain to hear a prime minister effectively endorse the idea that we should reintroduce blasphemy laws.”
Both GB News and Ridley are misappropriating the Blasphemy laws which were in place to protect the Christian faith as the foundation of Britain’s laws and customs. The laws were not intended to protect all religions.
Blasphemy laws were repealed in England and Wales in 2008, and in Scotland in 2021. However, they remain in force in Northern Ireland.
Blasphemy laws in the UK date back to medieval times, with the common law offence of blasphemy was formally abolished in England and Wales in 2008. Scotland abolished its common law offence of blasphemy in 2021.
The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 repealed the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. The last reported attempt to prosecute someone for blasphemy in England and Wales was in 2008 when a case against BBC Director-General Mark Thompson was rejected by the High Court.
Blasphemy laws remain in force in Northern Ireland, inherited from Irish common law. While there have been no prosecutions under these laws, incitement to religious hatred is an offence in Northern Ireland, although it is rarely prosecuted.
The last reported prosecution for blasphemy in Scotland was in 1843. Due to Scottish law requiring a personal interest in a matter for private prosecution, and the state’s reluctance to initiate a prosecution, it is unlikely that any blasphemy laws would be enforced in Scotland.
From 1838, the law of blasphemy only protected the tenets and beliefs of the Church of England. Other Christian denominations were also protected where their beliefs overlapped with those of the Church of England. Blasphemy laws protecting the Christian faith are an extremely important expression of principle – that Jesus’ name is above every other name. The blasphemy law was one part of the UK constitutional framework which recognised the unique contribution and status of Christianity in Britain.
Many secularists have long campaigned for the abolition of blasphemy laws, citing their infringement on freedom of speech and expression. The UK government has also pushed back against international efforts to reinstate blasphemy laws, emphasising the importance of protecting freedom of thought, conscience and belief.
While other religions should be tolerated, Christianity, and only Christianity, needs to be recognised as the official religion of the UK. Acknowledgement that Britain is a Christian country shouldn’t require a law, it should be by consensus and a knowledge of Britain’s customs, laws and constitution.
Socialist Starmer’s eagerness to impose yet more laws to control what people say and think should not surprise anyone. But what should be surprising and deeply concerning is that Starmer refuses to acknowledge that Britain is a Christian country.
That Muslims are demanding Blasphemy laws be implemented to stop so-called “Islamophobia” in a Christian country should also be cause for concern. “Islamaphobia Awareness Month” and outlawing criticism of the Koran is just the beginning. The religion of Islam does not have an equal footing in the UK as one of the Abrahamic religions. Muslims who live in the UK need to first and foremost recognise and respect that the UK is made up of four countries whose laws, customs and values are grounded in Christianity. If Muslims are unable to respect this basic tenet and Christian values are not being followed by the vast majority, then perhaps the Blasphemy laws do need to be reinstated to protect and preserve the Bible, Christians, Christianity, Christian values and the UK constitution.

There’s a lot many God fearing people could say on this, but a word out of turn and who knows where one could end up? Any offers?

If you can’t see the direction of traffic by now you must be totally blind..
these clowns in the parliaments in Australia, can’t do a dam thing lawfully until they can prove they are our legitimate legislatures, and I can assure everyone, that is something they cannot do.
The must show in the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act where they get their Authority to have political parties, everyone of them must show the original documents where they swore the oath or affirmation contained in the Constitution act 1901, word for word.
They must also show that the Governor General and or the State Governors were appointed by our reigning monarch, and that is not the King or Queen of Australia. and they must provide which seal they operate under, the Great seal of the Commonwealth (Imperial) or the Great seal of Australia which is total treason.
They must also provide which law making seal they operate under. the Lion and the Unicorn (Imperial) and the real law making seal, or the Kangaroo and Emu which is a registered trademark of their US Registered Corporation and trading Company which is fraudulent and treason against our nation and whereas the people who are the Commonwealth of Australia.
I can assure everyone who reads this that not one of those purported lawmakers in Australia can prove their lawful right to govern the people of this great Nation we call Australia. they have been undermining our lawful Constitutional system of legislature since Federation when Western Australia came on board the Federation with 32 Clauses removed from their original Constitution. as all State Constitutions were brought forward from the penal Colonies and were set under letters patent of Queen Victoria, only our reigning monarch can alter/ set aside
a letters patent. Fact of Constitutional law.
No Monarch has ever allowed alteration or setting aside of the original Constitutions in the History of Federation right up until this very day.
In Fact on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’s last visit to Australia. she declared that she up holds all her Grandmothers letters patents.
Where does this leave the federal legislatures and the State Legislatures? (there never was any such entities as governments
In Australia)
Also as WA Came on board with 32 clauses removed from their original Constitution, we have never had a lawful Federal Legislature since federation, the Constitution Act 1901 as proclaimed and gazetted clearly demands that the candidates for the Upper and lower houses of the federal Parliament are to be picked by the people not the politicians in all six states. so, because WA negated itself at federation because of the 32 missing clauses of their Constitution, they has never been a legitimate Federal Election, why, because the Constitution clearly says the candidates must be picked from all 6 states.
As there were only 5 legitimate States at Federation all voting for a federal Parliament is null and void from Federation till today. also since then in the following years every state either altered or set aside their original Constitutions which were all under letters patents.
So until they go back under their original letters patents and several other things must go back under the Constitution Act, all Politicians, Judges Magistrates Police forces and even the armed forces are not acting lawfully under the Crown or the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution act 1901 as proclaimed and Gazetted (Imperial)
As Sir harry Gibbs pointed out , Australia does not have any lawfully constituted legislatures from federation until today.
its all treachery, treason, sabotage and fraud. Wake up Australia. .

Islam isn’t a true religion. It’s a doctrine that strives to world domination. Similar to fascism and Communism.
Considering islam a religion comparable to Christian religion is a major mistake.
The result of that mistake have become very visible all over Europe and the UK.
Let’s face it: Islam is our enemy!
This Starmer promoting the interests of our enemy defines him.
It’s time to face reality, which is:
Britain has been invaded by a brutal clever enemy and that enemy has already taken over most of the country.
From the Mayor of London to the leader of the entire UK: they’re all part of the enemy’s system.
This won’t end well!!!
Hi Petra,
You could have just taken those words out of my mouth.
You are totally correct in what you say, this will not end well.
There is a saying, When in Rome do as the Romans do.
I have already written very comprehensive letters to the late Queen on the 12th June, 2018, the 4th November, 2021, the 2nd August, 2022 and to King Charles III on the 24th January, 2023, regarding the matters you raised in this article, but got no response from either of them. With the exception of the Queen regarding my letter dated 12th June, 2018, where I asked for her help to protect me from corrupt Police. This I believe she did by placing me ABOVE THE LAW for four and a half years till she died. Still, getting NO RESPONSE from either of them means they have broken their Coronation Oath to us and therefore must be removed from their positions.
Most in britain are so caught up in pretending to be “good” that they’ll bleat about “protecting” the invaders right up until the sword is severing their own neck. What do you think would happen if someone stood up in a muslim country and said anyone who said christians are scum should be punished? Birmingham is effectively a foreign country and has been for decades. So is London.
Hi sven,
This is what we have to put up with.
