Crown Prosecution Service Says it is “No Longer Appropriate” to Quote Some Passages From the Bible in Public

by Toby Young
26 November 2022 6:25 PM

A statement by the U.K.’s main prosecution service says it is “no longer appropriate” to read parts of the Bible aloud in public. Christian groups have called the statement “ill-judged” and “concerning”. The Belfast Newsletter has more.

The story all stems from a confrontation between a man called John Dunn, a soldier-turned-evangelist, and two lesbians.

It took place on the streets of Swindon two years ago.

Mr. Dunn was charged with using “threatening or abusive words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby”.

It was alleged he shouted that the women would “burn in hell” and called one of them a “devil woman”.

Mr Dunn denied this, though his lawyers at the Christian Legal Centre said he acknowledged telling them: “It says in the Bible that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

According to Mr Dunn’s lawyers, the case against him was discontinued during this week because the complainants could not be reached.

While pressing their case against him though, the CPS said the following in writing to the court:

“Whether a statement of Christian belief or not, the court is being asked to consider whether the language has the potential to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

“This document is not the forum for religious debate, but the bible contains other material recognising slavery (Exodus 21:7), the death sentence (Exodus 35:2 and Leviticus 24:16) and cannibalism (Deuteronomy 28:27).

“There are references in the bible which are simply no longer appropriate in modern society and which would be deemed offensive if stated in public.”

The group Christian Concern, which works in tandem with the Christian Legal Centre, has issued statements about this case to the press in the past week, but there has been virtually no media coverage of it, despite its potentially far-reaching implications.

Worth reading in full.

Needless to say, the criminalisation of certain passages in the Bible has yet to illicit a whisper of criticism from the Church of England.

Interesting hypothesis. Worth more investigation, I would think.

It also shows why calling ‘settled science’ and ‘misinformation’ are so dangerous in getting to the truth… The truth might just be something we really didn’t think about at all.

Nothing to do with Stabs, Nurse Confused says. Just the method of stabbination.

Afterwards, she told NM that he had been incredibly unlucky to have entered a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are like an artillery gun firing at the thin line of an enemy trench from five miles away… and hitting the target.

I will go out, way out, way way way out on the alt right, fascist, racist, white raving supremacist, I-am-another-Hitler- branch. I would guess the chemical poisons injected into the blood stream are causing blood poisoning, clotting and death. Yeah yeah yeah I know. Nothing to do with landing zones and careful skin entry. Just the ingredients from a criminal industry and all the SADS and injuries we can see around us. I know, I know. I am just another Hitler.

The Dr Nurses (?) are rather torpedoing their argument. If the chance of hitting a blood vessel is so remote during intramuscular injection, what explains the high incidence of deaths and injuries from these experimental products?

If not via accidental introduction into the vascular system, how did they get to various parts of the body: blood vessels, heart muscle, nervous tissue, ovaries for example? Evidently some other mechanism is in play – or a lot of ‘incredibly unlucky’ people administering these injections.

But RW, NM, we’ve been raising the issue of legions of stabbers not aspirating for many, many months already? Is this the first time you’ve felt it necessary to write an article about this?

As you say, this issue has been known about for 18 months or more.

Indeed. One of the many issues. The contents of those vials being rather more serious, I propose!

I thought exactly the same. That’s why I didn’t read beyond the first paragraph. This is incredibly old news. But I suppose, at risk of stating the obvious, if your objective is not to safeguard the public, but to harm and kill instead, they aren’t going to give a stuff about proper, evidence-based protocol. The more harm they can do the better. They’re administering a bioweapon. Why would they care where it went? Just so long as it goes inside of a person. Case in point: They’re now tampering with our leafy veggies so we get the mRNA via our gobs. Takes “eat your 5 a day ” to a whole new level.😶🥬

I’m just going by the Byram Bridle article I linked in the general comments. Can’t actually see it happening in reality though. The idea is fraught with problems. Plus, if vaccines ( inc the pseudo ones ) already exist in injection form then why oh why would you want to invent a lettuce that allegedly does the same thing, but obviously less efficiently and where you can’t measure or regulate the dose? Just seems like some very barmy and overly elaborate, not to mention unnecessary, notion to me. I don’t want anyone spiking my salad leaves, thank you very much.

I vaguely remember that 1 country (India?) did actually demand aspiration.
I remember very well the Covidians response as to why they wouldn’t entertain aspiration: Because it could waste some of the precious, scarce miracle juice!

This is an interesting and well-reasoned article going back several years prior to the scamdemic. It’s looking at the evidence of to aspirate or not. It would appear that a few years prior to 2020 the WHO and CDC stated IM injections should not be aspirated as it can increase pain and therefore “vaccine hesitancy”. But they give no evidence to support that assertion. A sceptic would say they’re intent on getting as many vaccines into as many arms as possible so anything to lower reluctance to get jabbed serves them well and to hell with the evidence which contradicts them.

Dr John Campbell was talking about this a very long time ago. But it’s pure obfuscation. If they had done the long term safety studies that they are supposed to do for novel therapies it would have been identified as (yet another) a safety issue. But they didn’t and it wasn’t. I told you so.

‘We suspect expedience here…’

Yes there was a lot of that going on wasn’t there; masks, lockdowns, distancing, self-isolation, positive tests = ‘cases’?

Expediency became The Science™️ and to Hell with the cost and consequences.

That exact issue was raised last year and ignored for some reason.
