Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
This is like the thing where they couldn’t ban the newspaper in Germany. It’s just too dumb, the court has no case, so they run this woman through the ringer and ruin her life, then they’re like “yeah okay, whatever, just go.”
Labour prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has launched an assault on free speech, and is planning also to go after ‘thought crime.’
So campaigners were pleased on Monday morning to see this fundamental freedom come out on top, at least in one case.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Christian charity volunteer, was arrested twice (in 2022 and 2023) for praying silently outside an abortion clinic in Birmingham—both times while the Conservative Party was in office. On the second occasion, Vaughan-Spruce was surrounded by police officers, with one telling her:
“You’ve said you’re engaging in prayer, which is the offence.”
Campaigners said she was searched, including through her hair, and later charged and prosecuted, even though she hadn’t expressed any opinion.
Both cases have since been dropped, and reports this morning, on August 19th, reveal that Vaughan-Spruce has received a £13,000 (€15,270) payout and an apology from West Midlands Police.
The New Culture Forum has hailed this as “a rare victory for common sense.”
That’s what they want you to think.
Britain is not an easy place to be a Christian in
