I don't think anyone has a problem seeing through it. The praying protests are really just an attempt to prevent the slinking off to the charnel houses in the dark to escape public shaming.
The video made it pretty clear, but you'd actually have to view it.
It's relevant because the market interference was entirely motivated by and targeted to expand censorship and thought policing.if you want to digress into foreign market interference in UK, I think that is a separate topic for a separate thread.
I just did what anyone should do when offered someone else's opinion, look at their actions in the past. The one guy seems like a pretty nasty individual and has said some things along the way of his career, that I think are pretty unpleasant. So I'm not interested in hearing more from him in particular and my guess is, he's not hanging around there with people who are much nicer. And it wasn't me who said they are 'ultra right wing', it was a remark made by some political analysts of him and two other individuals when they joined UKIP. That opinion was mirrored by numerous others, news outlets, academics, etc.So you reject the messenger and ignore the message. I see nothing "ultra right wing" in what they were saying. If anything it seems pretty centrist.
But you seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to discredit the entire thing out of hand.
Brits are in another panic. Turns out that American companies are done with foreign interference in their markets. Things are getting tough on the island, and it isn't the time for puffing out one's chest and thumping it.
Podcast excerpt:
The UK is About to Regulate Itself Off the Internet
It'll be interesting to see who pays the Danegeld and who just cuts the cord. Despite Brexit you can still smell the fishy hand of the EU in this. Unsurprisingly it's motivated by political Derangement.
I ran across this article on another site I frequent. Sadly, I believe this is really happening in the UK. Here's an excerpt from the article:
A British Army veteran was convicted of expressing “disapproval of abortion.” This man spent 20 years proudly serving his nation. Yet, the Public Spaces Protection Order has deemed him a criminal for silently praying outside an abortion facility. He has been conditionally discharged and forced to pay a $12,000 (9,000 pound) fine for daring to pray in public.
The above video shows how disillusioned the authorities have become. “What is the nature of your prayer?” the police asked, to which the man replied he was praying for his deceased son. He was then told that he was praying in a “censorship zone,” where even your THOUGHTS can be criminalized.

Silent Prayer Prohibited
Yes, I'm afraid the "thought police" are everywhere now. Don't think this, don't think that. It must be driving a lot of people crazy. I don't pray in public but don't see why anyone can't. I thought that we are free to think what we want but apparently notI ran across this article on another site I frequent. Sadly, I believe this is really happening in the UK.

Oh I didn't know medical entrances areYes people can pray in public - anywhere in public that they should be in the first place, they can pray.
They can't pray or be in public not praying, in places they should not be - like in places which have to be clear of people for whatever reason.
Such as the entrance to medical centres
Oh I didn't know medical entrances arebanned. Don't know why it hurts to pray there. I'm sure if you are praying for patients it would probably be ok.

Well then hypothetically speaking I see nothing wrong with ONLY praying, just like that was all I said, so go get a drink on meBecause it's not about praying, it's about harassment. It's about the cat-calls. It's about the insults. Some of these places have been firebombed, and people assaulted. They therefore need protection. If you think of it simply in terms of praying, then you're not really seeing the big picture.

I understood, and I was just looking for you to understand my post. I actually did not read much and only commented on what I read. I don't usually post in this forum section because it's too volatile for me. And I'm not referring to you when I say that, I'm referring to much stuff I've read long ago in this forum. So, to each his/her own. I will keep to the easy sections, I have too much hard stuff going on in my life now to deal with anything else.Yeah, I don't think you understood my post, but whatever works for you.![]()
