UK woman arrested for silently praying across from abortion clinic

That's the thing........ the congregation in that homophobic bunch of nutcases might think the same as you. They probably quote Mat 7:21 as well.

That's the thing...... we really don't care what a bunch of nutcases might think of us.

There you go.......... so she was 'nicked' as soon as she was seen there, after all.
The first post I wrote on this thread mentioned that if she had crawled in to that area in a Mr Snowman suit she would have busted the law. Seems like I was right.


No. Try 'standing around idly' but in her case her pur;pose was unlawful, so she's in trouble by your definition or mine.


That sunk her for sure. If she had been visuiting a sick reklative she might have been left there, but what she said completed the info for tghe PC.


That's routine here.
Police often seek permission, for instance to carry out a pockets search or whatever, but if refused they can take things one step further.

I used a similar technique when stopping thieves. Absolutely proper action here.

wow, Eider. Please enjoy your totalitarian police state. I wish you well when they come for you.

That's kind of the whole point of Matt 7:21. Groups like that actually do use Jesus to claim they are the only true Christians and when they stand before him claiming to have done his work, he will tell them to go away, he doesn't know them.

But as CP says above, we don't care what they say to us. They have a right to show their ignorance and hatred as long as they don't actually do any violence. The only one they hurt with their protests are themselves. People see right through them. And pity them. They are a nuisance. Not a threat.

You can't work it out, but this woman's actions have put her in to a very difficult legal position.
If you follow the case then you'll actually learn something.

I have followed the case. Which is why I know you can't support your BS with quotes.

[Gondwanaland]

She had been reported for previous offences. No suspicion there but police will use the 'suspicion' clause for legal reasons. Usually it will be a Court that finds guilt or innocence.

Rather, she had been reported for silently standing orher times.

A "National Buffer Zone"... what a MARVELOUS idea!!!

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.

I can top that!

After listening several times to his wonderful voice in a Cunard TV advertisement, and wondering who he was, I have taken to listening and appreciating the wisdom of English “philosophical entertainer” Alan Watts.

So, am I closer to God than you are?

A "National Buffer Zone"... what a MARVELOUS idea!!!

That way if they catch you thinking unapproved thoughts anywhere, even in your own house, they can arrest you! What a wonderful day for freedom and democracy, comrade!

wow, Eider. Please enjoy your totalitarian police state. I wish you well when they come for you.

One can only hope Eider has his "are we the baddies?" moment earlier than that.

That's the thing...... we really don't care what a bunch of nutcases might think of us.

Then you cannot belong to Sparko's church.... is that correct?
Sparko's congregation prays for them.
................You don't care...... right?

wow, Eider. Please enjoy your totalitarian police state. I wish you well when they come for you.

At his age learning to goose step is going to be a drag.

[eider]

wow, Eider. Please enjoy your totalitarian police state. I wish you well when they come for you.

Oh come on Sparko........ I'm bloomin' ancient now and still waiting!

You must admit, those police Constables were 100% professional.

I've met and seen bad cops here. Yes. True. How about you where you live? Nasty cops there? Some? Yes?

We get a vote here. Our MPs write Bills. The Bills get debated and some get enacted. And the police just do their job, mostly impartial.

Not sure how many of us "Muricans caught the reference so...

With your permission, that is a thread.
Can I start a thread in, say, apologetics titled 'They are not Christians!' ???? please?

But as CP says above, we don't care what they say to us. They have a right to show their ignorance and hatred as long as they don't actually do any violence. The only one they hurt with their protests are themselves. People see right through them. And pity them. They are a nuisance. Not a threat.

Maybe you don't mind....but you do care...... you pray for them. true?
