British government officials and employees have become the new witchfinders general, “obsessively” searching for the slightest deviation from the doctrines of political correctness, a legal expert has told LifeSiteNews.com.
“The obsession with hate crime and hate speech has created a new generation of publicly paid heresy-hunters,” said Neil Addison, an expert in religious discrimination law.
This week the British press is buzzing over a case that Addison called the “most extreme so far” of publicly paid employees enforcing the doctrines of political correctness and stifling civil liberties, especially of believing Christians.
Adrian Smith, a 54 year-old Christian property manager, was demoted and took a 40 percent pay cut, when he wrote on a private Facebook page that he disagreed with a proposed law to allow same-sex union ceremonies to be conducted in churches.

I hope everything works out for Mr. Smith, and that he is recompensed to the full. I can only imagine how shocking and difficult it was for him to have received such a harsh reaction to such a respectful expression of thought.
Political correcteness is 21st century totalitarianism, there is no doubt. Those who praise political correcteness are a threat to everybody freedom.
