Sorry for the clickbaiting headline, but I quote:

"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'"

Yes that was UK Prime Minister David Cameron (BBC link), in a prepared and long thought out statement. Yes that is the BBC, not the Onion.

It's a stupid way to put it, but he's referring to hate crime laws, an issue that Britain has been struggling with for a while.
