Even in the UK, I doubt it was the SOLE reason. My money's on that he was a nuisance in an affluent leftist area by preaching virtues and morality as they were trying to be good virtue signallers so used the police to lock him up a bit on some nonsense laws on the books to hopefully scare him away from their area.
Of course it was the "SOLE" reason he went to court. It was the only way they could get him convicted on a 'public order' offence. If he hadn't said his blasphemy, they would have to come up with something far more creative, completely beyond their capabilities. He's an experienced public preacher so he knows how to handle himself while dealing with aggression. But with 'misgendering' being added to the ridiculous list of things now qualifying as "threatening, abusive or insulting speech" he is going find it near impossible to talk back to the demons.
