The ‘yankification’ of British politics continues with Turning Point drawing attention to whatever the hell these people are supposed to be

    So you are seriously telling me that you genuinely believe that an organised group calling themselves an army, showing up to a queer space as a mob to shout at them that they are going to hell, isn’t intimidation tactics?

    Then you guys wonder why people hate Christians in general.

      They are shouting “Jesus Saves” in a street. If you can show me that’s a queer space and they were also shouting at people telling them they were going to hell, please do.

      They described the area as a “sex district.” I don’t think that homosexuality was all that they cared about.

      Edit: Did a bit of digging.

      So they’re chanting it (don’t even know if this can be called protesting) outside Ann Summers (a sex toy shop) in Old Compton Street, Soho, London. There are also bars nearby, an amount of them gay.

      That’s all I can find so far. Still don’t see where the violent intimidation comes into play, even if it’s not my cup of tea.
