Some people will be off to church today, to stand inside, in silence and remember in a dignified way a lost friend, or relative, mother or maybe just to remember Sarah Everard, a young lady brutally murdered.
I wonder if they should be worried about arrest or handcuffing or fines or is that only applicable for people who chose to stand outside, in silence and remember in a dignified way a young lady brutally murdered?
I wonder why are those people in support of the yesterday's police actions on the grounds of public safety not calling for them to break up the many church services today? Services which are more dangerous given they are inside.
Do tell... [Post edited 14 Mar 2021 7:58]

Think you will find a number of church congregations are flouting the rules. Just walked past a church, dozen plus cars parked and steady stream of people entering , in a socially distanced way.
Guess they just happened to decide to go in for a quiet prayer at the same time.
People will always push against regulations. |
Well I hope you reported them. |  |

Why would I want to do that? |  |

Do you know people who go to church? |
Yes, unfortunately. |  |

They may profess to being Christian but I have a big question mark over their ethics and morals. And that is as far as I am prepared to discuss the matter on a public forum. | |

1. You are completely wrong on this. Churches have been closed since just after Christmas Day.
2. Churches have worked extremely hard to comply with Covid regulations, and changed practices with Millenia of tradition (eg not sharing wine at Communion, not holding public baptisms, not shaking hands insipidly with the Vicar at the door while muttering "Nice sermon"). As a result there have been no cases of transmission linked to UK church services.
3. Remember that it was the Bishop of Liverpool who stood up to Government pressure over Hillsborough and insisted that all evidence be made publicly available and that every lie was forensically examined and refuted. In these times resistance requires us to be united, so don't fall for their divide and conquer strategies. [Post edited 14 Mar 2021 9:45]

Couple of quick points.
Your first point is wrong. Some churches have closed, some have been open. This has been fully inline with the law/guidelines.
Second one - no arguments. (BTW- I have no problems at all with churches being open atm - appreciate I might have given the other impression)
Third - Your understanding of the Bishops role is significantly different to mine. One of us is quite well informed on this. It isn't you ;-)
I'll not go overboard as you come across as nice chap. (PM sent) [Post edited 14 Mar 2021 18:38]

did you challenge the arrest of piers corbyn in very similar circumstances? |
I don't consider the arrest of Piers Corbyn compares to the arrests we saw yesterday, not at all.
Piers Morgan was being an arse. The women were mourning in silence at a vigil.
The police have and use discretion, rightly so. I believe they got it right with Piers, wrong yesterday. | |

Easy - Churches are under strict limits as to how many people can go in at one time and social distancing applies; people don’t generally stand and chat, hug, touch, etc. |  |

And yet a number of the people who previously attended church on Sunday mornings still disappear on Sunday mornings - where do you think they are going? |
Dogging |  |
