London Volunteer Police Officer Sticks Out Tongue, Harasses Christians For Singing Church Songs

On my last real vacation back in 2001, my wife and I flew to London. I had the time of my life. I've banked quite a few vacation days and like to think I'd use them to visit London again, but it doesn't sound like the same city I visited before. Knife crime is reportedly a big deal in the city, and the streets were recently taken over by hundreds of thousands of pro-Hamas protesters. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2023/10/14/london-has-fallen-massive-pro-palestinian-protest-held-in-london-today-n2388528 -- Palestinian activists launch fireworks at Metropolitan Police officers in London tonight while screaming “f**k the pigs.” Around 300,000 Palestinian activists took to the streets today to disrupt Remembrance Day memorial services. https://twitter.com/i/status/1723425865575322090

Plus, freedom of speech has taken a real hit — the police have set up "zones" around abortion clinics and will arrest you for literally praying silently across the street from an abortion clinic. No sign, no bullhorn, no obstruction … silent prayer. It's illegal. Apparently, you're not allowed to sing church songs outside of a church either. ENGLAND — 'You're not allowed to sing church songs outside the church grounds.' Christians harassed for singing, in bizarre altercation with police officer. -- The Metropolitan Police are on it: “This was filmed in Oxford Street, Westminster, over the weekend. We're working to understand the context in which these comments were made. We will update as soon as we can. We're reviewing body worn video of this interaction - it's more than 40mins long. At the heart of this is a specific by-law related to busking. The officer knows she could have handled this differently and is speaking to her manager.” -- "She's speaking to her manager."

Metropolitan Police: “We're aware of significant social media commentary. Some of the comments are personal and hurtful. This is unacceptable.” -- Oh, boo hoo. One of your officers gets out of line, the video goes viral, and there are mean tweets. Some of them are personal and hurtful, which is "unacceptable." The policing of speech in the U.K. is profoundly troubling. Ireland is considering a law to consider even having a meme on your phone as "hate speech." Let's look at some of those hurtful comments. —— “But Muslims are allowed to blast call to prayer across whole towns on speakers and pray anywhere they like outside of a Mosque?” —— “Invent the law as you go.” —— “Crazy eyes.” —— “Demon in uniform.” —— “Volunteer Nazi.” —— “Communist.” —— “Oh look! Another power hungry #LesbianNana” —— “Wow, a lesbian who doesn't like church people and church music. Shocker. She must know people don't like her that much either.” —— “Volunteer power trip.”

“Every time one of these frauds misrepresents the law, they should be fined, demoted, and retrained.” —— “The UK is a laughing stock along with other western countries. I’m officially embarrassed to be British.” —— Honestly, those were the most "hurtful" comments I could find. The Metropolitan Police are tied up policing social media so they have to send out volunteers to police the streets. Is that it? Back in October, the Metropolitan Police posted that they were aware of a video of police officers tearing down posters of kidnapped Israelis, allegedly to reduce "community tensions." "Context is always important," they tweeted. Be very careful online when saying anything about the waves of immigrants who've taken over the city; that's a red flag for hate speech. London Police Say 'Personal and Hurtful' Social Media Posts Against Officer Are 'Unacceptable.'
