What do you think is the likelihood that squadrons of cops have been sent to London mosques to ensure that they are not “unlawful” gatherings?
Mount Zion says
Do they shut down also islamic services in the same way or do they let them break the so called law with impunity .
I feel like I wanna puke , I really wanna throw up .
“….this gathering is unlawful..” he says . Muslim rape gangs were unlawful too , but they were allowed to act for years with impunity and still to this day they are ongoing and victims have seen no justice at all , so don’t talk to me about the law in England . England is finished as a free society.
Jayell says
Perhaps it’s worth remembering that London has a muslim as an excuse for a ‘mayor’. This is also the specimen that wasted £11 million on setting up a special division of the Met police as a ‘hate speech’ surveillance network on got about 1% convictions for all their effort (no musilms, I believe), and all this whilst crime runs out of control in the Capital. This was also the ‘mayor’ that dodged questions about grooming gangs in London, claiming that the questioner was trying to get at him because of his religion (what a giveaway!!). By the way, talking about ‘his religion’, this was the character who told everyone that he was ‘agnostic’ before his somewhat dubious election, then suddenly didn’t deny that he was a muslim afterwards. And, talking about elections, they say he’s going to get back in again next month with a landslide –probably because London has the largest proportion of muslims in the UK now, and they just love the postal voting system for some reason. And I won’t mention all the other mess-ups this specimen has made, otherwise I’ll be here all night.
Tomás Walsh says
Firstly, there is never Mass on Good Friday – The only day in the year when Mass is not celebrated. The celebrations on Good Friday are Stations of the Cross at mid- day and the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion. At 3pm.
Thank to Jihad Watch were are kept abreast of the slow Islamization of Europe. Keep up the good work.

Mount Z.
Not quite true. A large number of rape gang accused are now in jail
DazzleMe says
I’m afraid for America as well!
born saturday says
would they cancel ramadan celebrations at all??? ofcourse not…. their lust for islam does not allow that… they do the same around here with the quarantine… its quarantine during easter and christmas, but never at the end of ramadan and the birthday of allah….
PRCS says
Good grief, as many in that assembly have–like myself–probably already been Covid positive, recovered, and been appropriately vaccinated, when will the authoritarian nonsense end?
somehistory says
mozlums and their supporters are in control. Anything not considered islam okay/necessary, anything mozlums see as against their rule, will be determined to be “unlawful.”
And yet, islam is totally “unlawful.” islam is a lawless control system. islam makes demands, but all of the results of following the demands are lawlessness.
Ecosse1314 says
Met police and all the upper echelons of UK police forces are PC scum. No other word for it. Absolutely appalled by them and their PC thinking.
Michael Copeland says
The gathering outside Batley Grammar School was unlawful, participants not being socially distanced.
Ecosse1314 says
Different police force but still PC wasrers
gravenimage says
So true, Michael.
Mary Fran says
There is NO Mass on Good Friday in the Catholic Church. People should do some homework before they post things.
Ecosse1314 says
There are Good Friday services. You are tight though no Masses
gravenimage says
This is true–bit pedantic to focus on this minor point, though.

STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
I dunno. Still a bit totalitarian though. Perhaps the duty bound coppers were Jesuit police sent by pope Francis to bust up a revolutionary Good Friday Mass Movement.
Mairead says
There certainly is Mass on Good Friday. I know because I followed the stations of cross followed by Mass and then the Veneration of the cross, known as dulia in classical theology, is the honor and reverence appropriately due to the excellence of a created person.
This Eucharist is our Alleluia; our song of thanksgiving and praise to the Risen Christ who is our life and whose triumph over death we proclaim to all the world.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. – John 3:16
gravenimage says
“Good Friday is a day of fasting within the Church. Traditionally, there is no Mass and no celebration of the Eucharist on Good Friday. A liturgy may still be performed and communion, if taken, comes from hosts consecrated on Holy Thursday.”
https://www.catholic.org/lent/friday.php
Tomás Walsh says
Mairéad, Sorry, there is no Mass celebrated on Good Friday. There is the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion at 3pm – which at the end distributes Holy Communion. But the Holy Communion is consecrated on the days before Good Friday.
The celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday begins with the Liturgy of the word; the Veneration of the Cross and finally Holy Communion distributed to those in attendance. No Masses are permitted after the Holy Thursday evening Mass until the Vigil Mass of the Lord’s Resurrection celebrated at dusk on Holy Saturday. Happy Easter!

God damn Protestant cops!

Trevor Loughlin says
Police would shut any religious gathering. People should not risk older peoples lives worshiping a non-existent entity. Whilst I have no time for jobsworths extorting massive fines through predatory policing, they were in this case reasonable. Their actions could allow a vaccine resistant virus to develop, which would be an economic disaster.
wpm says
Trevor Loughlin
So by your logic no concerts, no religious gathers, no large scale protest ,no plays ,we just shut down all large scale gathers forever because a flu which has at least 4 different vaccines to fight it on the world market .A flu which has a 99 percent recovery rate with healthy people under the age of 60 .A flu that has been already a large scale” economic disaster ” because of the forced shut down that went from 4 weeks to “flatten the curve” to 18 months!!
James Lincoln says
Yes, wpm, I agree.
And the recovery rate is even higher than 99% – for people who have received the vaccine.
Mutations will always occur over time regardless of masks, social distancing, etc.
But, so far, the approved vaccines provide good protection against the current variants…
somehistory says
J.L,
I listened to a virologist…a designer and developer of vaccines…explain how this so-called vaccine for covid has been produced and what it might possibly do.
He said that it is not truly a vaccine as other vaccines are, ..those that were developed over the course of years and many trials, using pieces of the offending organism. …and that if any benefit comes from these shots, it is only a possible lessening of the severity of symptoms.
He discussed the attempts some years ago to develop a vaccine to a similar virus, and the failures, such as a killing…by the virus itself… of the ferrets used in the animal trials, and why the scientists gave up on producing a vaccine.
He also explained that this new shot has something different…RNA…so that the body’s cells are actually taken over by what’s in the shot.
What comment do you have on this?
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I would not be telling the truth if I told you that the medical community knows everything there is to know about the Covid vaccine. What we do know is that the available Covid vaccines have received emergency approval from the FDA. To get this approval, they have to be both “safe and effective”. That being said, vaccines ordinarily take many years to make it through the pipeline but unnecessary (hopefully) administrative burdens were removed due to the obvious urgency of the pandemic.
There’s a pretty good synopsis at the Mayo Clinic website:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine
I received my first Covid vaccine (Moderna) on March 10th and am scheduled for my second dose on April 7th. I had a minimal reaction from the first dose, a sore arm that did not keep me from swimming the next day. I plan to get the second dose as scheduled.
In medicine, every medication/vaccine, etc., therapeutic intervention involves a risk/reward situation. In my humble opinion, the relatively small risk (so far) of the vaccine outweighs the relatively small – but sometimes life-threatening risk – of a severe Covid infection.
If it means anything, I have spoken to literally dozens of my fellow physicians. Not one has decided against receiving the vaccine.
Also, the following is my adaptation from a trusted medical website yalemedicine.org
https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/covid-19-vaccine-comparison
Pfizer
How it works: This is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine, which uses a relatively new technology. Unlike vaccines that put a weakened or inactivated disease germ into the body, the Pfizer mRNA vaccine delivers a tiny piece of genetic code from the SARS CoV-2 virus to host cells in the body, essentially giving those cells instructions, or blueprints, for making copies of spike proteins The spikes do the work of penetrating and infecting host cells. These proteins stimulate an immune response, producing antibodies and developing memory cells that will recognize and respond if the body is infected with the actual virus.
Moderna’s vaccine Similar to the Pfizer vaccine.
Johnson & Johnson
How it works: This is a carrier vaccine, which uses a different approach than the mRNA vaccines to instruct human cells to make the SARS CoV-2 spike protein. Scientists engineer a harmless adenovirus (a common cold virus) The shell and the code can’t make you sick, but once the code is inside the cells, the cells produce a spike protein to train the body’s immune system, which creates antibodies and memory cells to protect against an actual SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Hope this helps, and best wishes!
somehistory says
Thank you for your response, J.L.
I had already made up my mind about it. I just wanted your opinion as a physician.
One thing: they have never used this particular kind of shot on people before, so the end result…years down the road…is not yet known.
I’m one who has been advised not to take these things, so even if I believed what the government and others are claiming, I wouldn’t be getting it.
But, as I said, thank you for your response. Perhaps it will help others to decide what they should be doing. Each person should have the right to take it or not, as they see is right for them.
gravenimage says
Thank you, James.
Manuele Lui says
Trevor Loughlin, STOP THE BUSLSHIT *ANY RELIGION GATHERING? THEY WILL NEVER DO THIS TO ANY MUSLIM GATERING.
Tomás Walsh says
Trevor, But they don’t. There are many instances of Muslim gatherings on Fridays in Mosques around Dublin – and even when alerted the Gardaí (Irish Police) do not turn up. I hear of similar situations in UK.
To digress – National Lock-downs are not an answer to this Pandemic. At some stage when economies have totally collapsed – and nation states are in ruins – it will dawn on national leaders that other ways must be found to control this virus.
Have you noticed the massive erosion of civil liberties resulting from this pandemic – this cannot be acceptable.
R Russell says
The mosques are ignored.
Several years ago a friend of mine was being harassed by a man who was a self confessed atheist and decided he would shop her, a pensioner, from giving out soft drinks and Christian leaflets at the church gate prior to services. He was very intimidating.
It took a complaint to the Chief Constable in writing before anything was done about it. Yet just prior to this a man was arrested for asking those attending the mosque to leave room for him to get the car out of the driveway as he was about to go to work.
It went to court and was dismissed. Glad somebody had some sense.
Can you imagine the stress that caused?
R Russell says
Sorry stop, not shop
gravenimage says
I wish I could say I am surprised.
Crusades Were Right says
The commies of China and North Korea have good reason to persecute Christians too. And let’s not forget the Islamic world’s dedication to this noble endeavour.
The UK is merely falling into line with international norms.
Perhaps another big Leftist demonstration to celebrate this happy state of affairs is warranted?

Treereen says
“Interesting coincidence?”:
UK lockdown restrictions to be relaxed on April 12th. Seems like a random date, doesn’t it? Why not relax restrictions on April 2nd (or 30th)? Would 10 days really make a difference at all? You know, Easter starts on April 3rd, another time of the year for Christian families to gather, church prayers etc. And the government told us “why don’t you give up on Christmas and instead celebrate Christmas at Easter?” as well. But, nonetheless, restrictions will be relaxed on April 12th. Well after Easter.
The yearly Bombathon month starts this year on April 13th.
Eleanor says
In this case, no such thing as a coincidence. Thanks for pointing that out.
R Russell says
Treereen,
The 4 countries which make up the UK all have their own dates for lifting the lockdown.
After the Scottish government lost the court case because they had closed churches illegally, they decided make it look like it was what the Scottish government had intended all along by opening all places of worship in time for Easter, Passover and Ramadan.
Infidel says
They’re probably channeling Henry VIII, Edward VI and Elizabeth I – the Tudors! ?
Crusades Were Right says
[“This gathering is unlawful”]
UK cop-speak (apparently) for: “We don’t allow a gathering if we don’t like the reason for it. If we DO like it, then not only will we allow it…
…we’ll take part in it.”

An exorcism of the contagion that invaded their Church.
Top marks to this Polish Church head, a hero – telling #Canada ‘Nazi Gestapo’ police where they can go. This is how it should be done everywhere, call them what they are:

2 mins 20 secs.
When the police were called out, by just what laws were applicable, or NOT.
So the police were moved on. ?
So there is some “hope” 🙂
wpm says
Thanks for the link there should be more priests and rabbis sticking up for their congregations in the western world like this man.
Major Tom says
This occurs…..while Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the Defender of the Faith? These police need to be arrested forthwith! If a Commissioned Officer gave the order, he/she should be stripped of their Commission and drummed out!
Andrew Blackadder says
I look forward,with glee, to watching the local Police Officer, and his female Officer, enter a mosque during the evenings of ramadamadingdong,which is coming to a street near you in a week or so, and tell those lovely tolerant peace loving mudlsimes that their gathering is unlawful, just as the Police did when telling the muslims outside the school recently to move on because they were all standing too close to each other while screaming allao snackbar… Oops,wait a minute… what?.
DazzleMe says
Exactly Andrew!!

The UK has totality lost it’s way. It is a police state. Churchill just did a 360 roll.
Jack Holan says
Have you noticed that the UK under the revoked Magna Carta started the process of no Freedom of Speech unless it was Islamic fanatics on Al Quads Day screaming for another Al Kayabar? At the same time Germany under ex-Stasi Officer Angela, Freedom of Speech or making a joke by a comedian about Emir of Turkey in Germany wound the Comedian in jail and Canada’s vague M103 Law forbidding hate speech by Justin Trudeau unless you are Muslim. Now Joe Biden is working with Tech Giants to create a version in the USA The Marxist Cartel does live and is determined to wipe the Constitutional Bill of Rights USA,
somehistory says
Yes, we saw it happening with the claiming by people like pelosi that to keep saying Mr. Trump won, or even to just to ask questions about the election is a sign that the person is a “domestic terrorist.” The same for those who question the “lockdown” and the “virus.”
And biden said he would have mozlums in every level of his “administration.” Any that he puts in positions of power will be all for silencing those who speak the Truth about islam. He has even nominated some for the positions of judges.
DazzleMe says
Somehistory, biden is certainly following through on his plan of destruction!

UK: London cops shut down Catholic mass on Good Friday: ‘This gathering is unlawful’
…………………….
Using *the police* ti shut down this service is overkill to begin with (although I do think that large gatherings are still unwise at this time). But–as noted–this is *not* equally applied. I can find no instances of UK police raiding Mosques.
