Something is about to break. At some point it’ll be glaringly obvious that the only thing standing between them and an islamic beheading is Christianity.

They couldn’t demonstrate the absurdity much harder.

There is no hope for the UK, the country that allowed rape grooming gangs and jailed people who revealed their existence.

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested in Birmingham, UK, on Dec. 6. Video footage of her arrest was published on social media. The video shows an officer asking Vaughan-Spruce if she was praying, to which she answers: “I might be praying in my head.” Following a further exchange with police, the 45-year-old was arrested and interrogated. Vaughan-Spruce is the director of March for Life UK. She was charged Dec. 15 with four counts of breaking a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) around the abortion facility. A PSPO is intended to stop antisocial behavior. The terms of the PSPO include prayer under ‘protest,’ which is banned within the ‘buffer zone’ around the clinic. Vaughan-Spruce is accused of “protesting and engaging in an act that is intimidating to service users” for standing still and praying silently inside a buffer zone. At the time of Vaughan-Spruce’s arrest, the abortion facility outside which she was standing was closed.

In-credible. Imagine what could be included when applied to all speech or presence. Yet this is a "progressive" progression of the use of ambiguous subjectively defined terms, as "hate speech." The phenomena can be called "Censorial creep."
