‘Free speech attacked’ as court upholds Christian radio ad ban
Today the Court of Appeal upheld a ban on a Christian radio station broadcasting an ad on Christian marginalisation, a decision described as an “attack on freedom of speech” by the station’s CEO.
Two of the three judges who heard the case ruled against the radio station, but one – Lord Justice Elias – said the broadcaster should have won.
He said the advert is lawful because it did not include a politically biased message.
