@doglovesbiscuit @phillipsc Why do they need to stand in that exact spot?

“Buffer zones don’t ban prayer”.
You’re literally banned from praying in them. That is the whole point.
stellacreasy@stellacreasy
Buffer zones don't ban prayer. They uphold the privacy of women having an abortion. If prayer was banned in public then no one could do it. Those getting upset about iftars in public seem to want to agree there's a 'time and place' for everything. Hyperbole and hypocrisy do not for reasoned debate make.

Victoria Freeman@v_j_freeman
I mean, she did. Whatever her reasons she did do that. Creasy can’t then argue others having an issue with public prayer are more suspect than her. But some religions are more readily attacked by MPs than others & for some inexplicable reason that includes our state religion.

'We can't justify a £52 lunch': Middle-income families cut back on days out bbc.in/4uJNOG3
English
@PaulShack56 @BBCNews Whole point of the article is that normal things are becoming too expensive. A family should be able to afford a meal out. We hardly eat out now because I just don't want to spend £50 on 2 mains and 2 drinks. Starters £10 and £9 glass of wine. It's mental.
English
@BBCNews If they have the £174 Pizza Express meal once a month and instead made the same at home for £44 and put the saving of £130 per month into an ISA after 10 years they'd be sat on £20,000.
20 grand for implementing a slight change of behaviour.
English
@AnnMile71721158 @BBCNews Oh yay a cold & rainy picnic, how lovely 😂.
English
@doglovesbiscuit @phillipsc Because they are loitering in a buffer zone and their presence is intimidating/harassment.
English
@phillipsc If buffer zones don't ban prayer, then why have lone women been arrested for silent prayer ?
English
@phillipsc @OliverKamm But it's not the praying that is banned, it's the intimidation & harassment. If you refuse to pray elsewhere it really isn't about you praying is it.
English
@OliverKamm My point was not about the effectiveness of prayer, which is valid wherever it is offered. I was observing that prayer within buffer zones is banned, and Stella knows it.
English
@AdamPollock @NarcAware They can silently pray elsewhere, or they can walk through the area and pray. Actively choosing to stand in that spot to 'pray' is choosing to be visible/intimate people accessing health services. Intimidation is the issue, not the praying.
English
@NarcAware It doesn’t “cause harm” to anyone to witness someone silently praying in the street, complete nonsense
English
Complains about me not explaining my points, and then turns her replies off.
Great work, Stella.
stellacreasy@stellacreasy
It’s not a ban on prayer. It’s a ban on protest and all the behaviours associated with wanting to invade the privacy of a woman having an abortion. I note this person still refuses to explain why being asked to pray 150m away to balance that right is somehow stopping prayer. Unless this isn’t about prayer at all.
English
@BohunkPundit @stellacreasy @AdamPollock You can go into the buffer zone as long as you don't intimidate, protest etc. walk through it praying and you will be left alone.
English
@stellacreasy @AdamPollock So I'm not banned from going into the buffer zone as long as I don't pray. Sounds like the activity being banned is the prayer Are you really such a retard or do you just play one on the interweb?
English
@TinyTon_e @stellacreasy @AdamPollock All prayer is banned in that space, not just 1 religion. It's actually the intimidation that's banned rather than the praying.
English
@stellacreasy @AdamPollock So prayer IS banned in public places then? It matters not whether you call it a “buffer zone”, it’s a public place.
English
@IVORMECTIN4 @Heccles94 What are you on about. Easter and Christmas are not being removed at all. If anything it's getting bigger because shops like making money.
English
@Heccles94 The window adverts do not say Easter though, and some eggs do not either. That is not the point pal, the point is the slow but deliberate removal of all Christian based culture and laws. This will continue until the new owners have installed their medieval laws; good luck & enjoy
English
Imagine getting annoyed that Easter eggs don’t say Easter on them, when in fact they say Easter on them.
It’s really not normal.
English
@plinkyplon88054 @BasilTheGreat To do what? Find ways to make extra money?

We need to be asking, Who told Cadbury's to do this? The message must be coming from above the company itself.
English
Cadbury's have no problem remembering 'Eid Mubarak' though
English
@_mtf_ @zeynepmyenisey Because it's more helpful to change your lifestyle than to diet and go back to normal eating again. If someone feels the need to snack it's easier to include healthy snacks than avoid forever.
English
@zeynepmyenisey 100 percent. Lost just shy of 100 pounds going OMAD, ketovore with daily walks. Dont understand why anyone who wants to lose weight would be snacking.
English
People think a whole bowl of nuts is 150 calories and then feel confused and upset when they cant lose weight
Fitness life@Fitness_G0d
Choose wisely.
English
@Heccles94 Just not at the front where you can see it on the shelf.
You bought into the marketing tactics 👌
English
@Paul_Patriot12 @Heccles94 All Cadbury eggs last year said happy Easter. I'm sure they will this year too.
English
@Heccles94 Another mindless cunt that just believes what they are told 😂 leaving this here for all you braindead gimps who like to publicly humiliate themselves!!!
English
@PollutedHalo @donmcgowan How hard you have to try to pretend Easter/Xmas is being eradicated 🤣
English
@ViolaAppleton6 @donmcgowan Wtf are you wittering on about?
English
Easter egg rage is in full bloom early this year. Probably climate change.
My question to these 'Christians' that are so performatively outraged by a mass capitalism event:
Are you not mortally embarrassed by putting this in the public domain?
Seriously, it's pathetic.
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK
Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?
English
@RebelHQ @SamanthaTaghoy So you banned Easter eggs based on faux outrage without even bothering to check if it's true. Says a lot about you 😂🤣
English
@SamanthaTaghoy We have banned Cadbury Eggs in this household and any other brand that does similar.
English
Dear Cadbury,
“From Cadbury this season.”
What season?
Go on, say it.
It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON.
How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins.
They are Easter eggs.
It is Easter.
Shame on you.
English
@AuntCunt @danbarker Probably designed to make money from engagement.
English
@ViolaAppleton6 @danbarker His whole page is him complaining aboot ‘broken Britain’ I think it’s a safe assumption
English
Ironically the post below may have been avoided if the photographer was slightly taller: the boxes there all say 'Happy Easter' on top.

@ViolaAppleton6 @Woman4W @CadburyUK would you do the same with the 'racist' chocolate outrage? it's objectively more absurd after all. that's a rhetorical question btw, another thing you won't understand
English
@PollutedHalo @donmcgowan Is it exhausting having to try so hard to be outraged? Do you have to refuse to open your eyes in shops to avoid Easter & Christmas decorations to keep up the inner rage?
English
@donmcgowan Thin end of the wedge, Don,
Cadbury’s chocolate has gone down the pan anyway.
I’ll only be buying Easter eggs labelled ‘Easter eggs’ that is for sure. You can stick your ‘seasonal gesture’ eggs up your arse, along with your ‘happy holidays’ bullshit!
