Police Arrest Pastor for Teaching Biblical Definition of Marriage

[Crepitus]

A little context from ME: Street talking or speaking use to be huge in England. You could go to Hyde Park and see scores of people up on boxes or stands giving speeches on some topic of the day. Its a British thing. Speakers' Corner is located on the north-east edge of Hyde Park, nearest Marble Arch and Oxford Street. Historic figures such as Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and George Orwell were known to often use the area to demonstrate free speech. Today it is not quite as popular as it was 50 years ago but it is still a common thing. So this pastor speaking out in public may look odd to us Americans, but over there he was not doing anything unusual at all. The subject he was speaking on was traditional marriage.

But in England there is no Bill of Rights and you do not have a guaranteed right of free speech, and today in England the leftist extremists are worse than they are here. So this man was arrested simply for speaking against gay marriage. While annab is making insane ignorant threads about the "rightwing" losing touch, here is the REALITY of the leftwing using Marxist and Nazi tactics on a poor old man telling the truth. (By the way, do those cops look English to you?)

Warning to Americans: Coming soon to your city as soon as Biden's Marxist forces are done shredding the constitution.

Pastor John Sherwood was arrested in North West London last week for "hate speech" for preaching from the Bible.

Hate speech is illegal in england.

If that is true (you've provided no cite) then England is no longer a free country.

That’s an extremely wide net of subjective feelings there. I do notice hate speech against a religion is banned. So based on that hasn’t the government committed hate speech violations against this preacher? Or do they just mean certain religions? We all know they would never arrest a Muslim for preaching against gay anything. So how does the court square peg that round hole?

Well, there is free speech, the English Bill of Rights came BEFORE the US Bill of Rights.
However like with all rights, none of them are absolute.
Right to free speech vs. Libel and Treason laws.
The Right to own arms vs. not being able to own nukes, or criminals having guns in prison and the like.

Because an old man quoting the Bible is certainly a threat to the Crown. What do they quote in the Church of England, MAD Magazine?

Nothing to do with a threat to the crown.

U.K. Pastor Arrested After Anti-Same-Sex Marriage Comments Back on Stump

Pastor John Sherwood was arrested last month in West London after complaints about allegedly homophobic comments he made during a sermon on marriage.

Preacher arrested after quoting 'homophobic statements from Bible'

John Sherwood, 71, was led away in handcuffs, questioned in a police station and held overnight after being accused of making homophobic comments outside Uxbridge Station.

"Christian pastor arrested for making 'homophobic statements'"

Well, you can see that even the right wing UK press said he made "homophobic statements".

You can think what you like, but you can't go into the streets and start preaching hatred.

That's not freedom of speech.

That's a nonsense statement.

Are you saying the US isn't a free country because of Libel laws and Treason laws?

Since the video doesn't contain what the preacher was saying I'll give him the benefit of doubt and go along with saying his arrest was unjustified. My first thought though was if that took place in America and it was a black man that made that abrupt move with his hand, he'd be shot dead and many here would take the policeman's side.

The Daily Mail is a scumbucket rag hence they were quoting scumbuckets.

I am getting a feeling that the Western world is becoming like a theater of absurd. Australia forbidding tens of thousands of its citizens to get back home due to fears of spreading the virus; in England street preachers get arrested for speaking publicly; France acquitting perps of hate crimes (from the minority background, of course).

Free world. What a joke.

There appears to be room for gay rights or the Christian religion, but not both.

If your religion can't stand the heat from a few gay people, it's not very strong, is it?

It's the queers shutting down free speech, not the Christians.
