"Thought-crime"? ... this is a unique English "law" so patently insane, so immensely absurd, and of such inconceivable imbecility, that no previous tyranny in history - not even the nazis and communists - so much as contemplated such madness possible ... because it is not.
No banners, no ripping down of property, no screeming at the top of her voice, no lying prostrate in the middle of the road! Any other religion, any other sexual persuation, any other colour and you would have 20 police protecting your rights from every angle! Any clearer sign that being either White, Christian or Straight gives us reason to make up any charge we like to destroy any expression of exhistance you dare to have. And you will pay me to do it!

THIS ORDER is made by Birmingham City Council (the Council) under section 59 of the Anti- Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, because the council is satisfied on reasonable grounds that there are a number of activities, carried out or are likely to be carried out in a public space namely the area within and surrounding Station Road, Birmingham, B30, shown outlined on the map attached ( the restricted area) that have had, or are likely to have, a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality.

At her first arrest on 6 Dec 2022 when questioned by the Police officer "Why are you standing here of all places?", Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, director of March for Life and leader of 40 Days for Life, admitted in the video that she was standing there because "Because this is an abortion clinic". Then she was asked "Are you praying?", she answered "I might be praying in my head". So she is clearly aware that she has breached the PSPO by standing there and praying there. The charges were dropped on 16 February 2023 on four counts in October, November and December 2022. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-64668114 but again she has got herself arrested for breaching the PSPO on Mon 6 March 2023.

"You've said you are still engaging in prayer which is the offence" Isabel replies "Silent prayer" The Police state "The Public Space Protection Order says not to be stood outside here, doesn't It?" Isabel clearly states "I am silently praying" and "I'm just here to pray", admitting the offence of the PSPO. Police state "We're going to issue you a ticket now and if you do not leave the area you will be arrested. Do you understand that?". Isabel replies "I understand the process".
She was just awarded a payout from the police who admitted fault, so everything you wrote there was a lie. A leftist lie. From someone who tried to argue in favour of thought crime.
FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS !!! However, A solution to arrest would be. 1, You are praying to any other God than a Christian God. 2, You identify as anything other than a White Straight Female.
Dealers pushing kids into drug smuggling. 👎 Nonces, rapists and murderers in the police and other establishments. 👎 Rising knife crime. 👎 Silently praying woman. 👍
Once again, most of the people making comments fail to understand what is happening and incorrectly blame the Police. If you actually listen, he is asking her to leave the Exclusion Zone, the fact that she is refusing to do so is the arrestable offence. The police are actually doing their job and enforcing the law. The real issue lies with the faceless woke idiots that placed the exclusion zone in the first place. But, once again, the ignorant masses blame the police and blindly carry on re-electing the real criminals into positions where they can continue destroying the country.
Imagine these fascists telling a Muslim to step away and stop praying .. all hell would break loose .. this corrupt police fires can be seen by everyone and that’s why the majority of people have no respect for the fascist , corrupt police fires anymore..
"Only following orders" ?? We've heard that before. These thugs in uniform are retards. They are paid to follow orders, not question them. I'm sure they'd arrest their own mothers if they were told to. It's idiots like this who loaded people on to cattle trucks for their final journey.
Police are a special type of person who have a knack of having negative perceptions and suspicions, to them everyone is a criminal until proven otherwise and everyone else is acting suspiciously when in reality it's often the police prowling around acting suspiciously
Police officer: "You said you're engaging in prayer which is the offence." -Welcome to 21st century Britain where thought-crime is a reality. This highlights the absolute fanatical and extreme nature of pro-abortion activism. Would people who are indifferent to abortion be ok if the thought-crime was applied to other, unrelated contentious issues such Brexit? Could someone be arrested for praying about Brexit? It is not such a preposterous now a precedent has been set. This is disgusting, vile and troubling in equal measure.

Why didn’t they arrest the hate preacher hook in north London he brought traffic to a stand still , the police are shut houses they pick their marks , it’s my conclusion that todays police are full of all the dick heads in every body’s school who got wedgied and water bombed so they join the plod and get revenge on the world that took the piss out of them
If you actually listen, they are asking her to leave the Exclusion Zone. The offence is that she will not leave, not the fact that she is praying. The issue here isn't the Police, they are simply doing their job and enforcing the law, the issue is with the woke idiots that placed the Exclusion Zone in the first place.
Peaceful protest, looking at the face of the other one it looks as things could get violent and he looked ready for action, I'm a 68 year old pensioner and have no respect for the police.
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY AND WE CAN PRAY ANYWHERE,, YOU LET MUSLIMS PREY ON THERE KNEES IN OUR STREETS ,SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO A CHRISTIAN FEMALE . ?
It's people's perceptions this police officer said to her, so my perception is, she's doing absolutely nothing wrong, standing on a pavement not breaking the law and therefore, these police officers should move on and go and deal with real crime. What an absolute joke our police force have become.
Western World Police are completely inert dealing with Theft, Vandalism, Robbery, Drug Dealers, Assault, Looting (BLM) Arson(Antifa) and Many other Crimes. They will arrest You for Voicing Opinion, (actual) Peaceful Protest, Misgendering someone online, "Perceived violence" and Microaggressions. .....This is Mid 1930s Germany
Why are our government seemingly out to attack us, our beliefs should be sacred ground, As has been pointed out You would not see this happening to a Muslim, Do you realise that NASA had to reorientate the orbit of the space shuttle 5 times A-day to face The Muslim holy land So that the Muslim crew member could rightfully carry out his prayers, We would never be Granted such privilege.
Crazy!!
"Thought-crime"? ... this is a unique English "law" so patently insane, so immensely absurd, and of such inconceivable imbecility, that no previous tyranny in history - not even the nazis and communists - so much as contemplated such madness possible ... because it is not.
Bet he wouldn't do that to Muslim's
Imagine it was a Muslim
I hope this lady takes further action against these corrupt police officers and the chief constable of the force its a public land
No banners, no ripping down of property, no screeming at the top of her voice, no lying prostrate in the middle of the road!

That this woman has an ‘exclusion zone’ around her is surely testament to the fact that she probably shouldn’t be there in the first place.
So why didn't they just arrest her on that basis?

Hundreds of Muslims praying on the streets of England and nothing is done
Knobhead.
Someone else’s “perception”…………….we are fuckin doomed !
Should have kept her mouth shut and not spoke to the police.
Bastard police .breaching English common law seems like a hobby to these 🤡
FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS !!! However, A solution to arrest would be. 1, You are praying to any other God than a Christian God. 2, You identify as anything other than a White Straight Female.
Thought police in action
The cops abused their power, it;s her right to do so. She needs to sue, she will win. Please, lady, sue the police.
Just leave the poor woman alone ffs.
Dealers pushing kids into drug smuggling. 👎 Nonces, rapists and murderers in the police and other establishments. 👎 Rising knife crime. 👎 Silently praying woman. 👍
Remain silent don't engage
Arrested for being a Christian and praying, wonder if a Muslim did the same thing would they be arrested, Muslim brothers and sisters, join thid lady

What is a exclusion zone ? is it a race thing, a religion thing, a female thing if none of these .. it soon could be
She is outside an abortion clinic, a law was passed to stop women being harassed by God squaders like her

It is our role to enforce the PSPO and reassure those it was designed to protect." www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/anti-abortion-campaigner-arrested-again-26410175
When he asked if she understands, her mistake was saying "yes I understand that".
Is this really what police consider a crime!?
Do namaz he won't stop y😅
Why didn’t they arrest the hate preacher hook in north London he brought traffic to a stand still , the police are shut houses they pick their marks , it’s my conclusion that todays police are full of all the dick heads in every body’s school who got wedgied and water bombed so they join the plod and get revenge on the world that took the piss out of them
Prayer Is an "offence".... I hope he takes his shame with him, into the afterlife so that people can see what a disgusting, and corrupt soul he has.
yes, prayer is an offence to those devils.
If you actually listen, they are asking her to leave the Exclusion Zone. The offence is that she will not leave, not the fact that she is praying. The issue here isn't the Police, they are simply doing their job and enforcing the law, the issue is with the woke idiots that placed the Exclusion Zone in the first place.
If it was a Muslim they wouldn't do jack shame on your Police 🇮🇪
Tell em to cough!
Leave the lady alone, she has done nothing wrong.
Peaceful protest, looking at the face of the other one it looks as things could get violent and he looked ready for action, I'm a 68 year old pensioner and have no respect for the police.
Which country is this
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY AND WE CAN PRAY ANYWHERE,, YOU LET MUSLIMS PREY ON THERE KNEES IN OUR STREETS ,SO WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO A CHRISTIAN FEMALE . ?
Gestapo scum
She shouldn't resist they will be offended and want to go to a safe space
Just "Ordinary Men"...
how good is that the police are on foot, I wonder how to get them on the streets near me, or do you have to pray and they turn up
This is the pinnacle of our great democracy!
It's people's perceptions this police officer said to her, so my perception is, she's doing absolutely nothing wrong, standing on a pavement not breaking the law and therefore, these police officers should move on and go and deal with real crime. What an absolute joke our police force have become.
LOVE that which created all things, BE KIND to all things thus created.
Some real actual training in cultural awareness needed here, and I am not referring to this lady doing such a passive activity.
the thought police are now in full control wellcome to 1984
Western World Police are completely inert dealing with Theft, Vandalism, Robbery, Drug Dealers, Assault, Looting (BLM) Arson(Antifa) and Many other Crimes. They will arrest You for Voicing Opinion, (actual) Peaceful Protest, Misgendering someone online, "Perceived violence" and Microaggressions. .....This is Mid 1930s Germany
Why are our government seemingly out to attack us, our beliefs should be sacred ground, As has been pointed out You would not see this happening to a Muslim, Do you realise that NASA had to reorientate the orbit of the space shuttle 5 times A-day to face The Muslim holy land So that the Muslim crew member could rightfully carry out his prayers, We would never be Granted such privilege.
