  • Candidate Arrested in U.K. for Quoting Winston Churchill-Truth! Candidate Arrested in U.K. for Quoting Winston Churchill- Truth! Summary of eRumor: This is a forwarded email with a story alleging that Paul Weston, a candidate in the May 22 European Parliament elections, was questioned and arrested by the police in England after he quoted a passage from a book by Winston Churchill. The Truth: This was a true incident, according to an April 28, 2014, article by the BBC . Paul Weston was making the speech in Hampshire, England, on the steps of Winchester Guildhall. In order to be heard by the public he was using a megaphone. The candidate from Dorset was reading from The River War, a book written in 1899 while Winston Churchill was serving in Sudan as a British army officer. A passer-by complained to authorities, and Weston was detained by police for failing to comply with a request to leave. The BBC also said that He was further arrested on suspicion of religious or racial harassment. Posted 04/29/14 Posted in Crime / Police , Government , Politics , Religious (en)
