The UK gutter press were not to blame a few years ago when Muslims (can I say that?) were blatantly holding religious prayers in Hyde Park, and when a lady approached one of the Police Officers "standing by" and asked him to tell them to stop doing it, as it was against the law, he first of all didn't believe her, and "shooed her away", but when she produced a copy of the local by-laws where it specifically stated that religious meetings/prayers were expressly forbidden ther and other Public Parks in London, he said (after consulting with his superiors at "base", that he couldn't stop them as "IT MIGHT CAUSE TROUBLE"!!!
