  This is the business on Google Maps if anyone wants to leave them a nice 1 star review

  Google probably tracks the link reviews are coming from to detect review bombing though, not sure if we can find a way around that.

  (Note: a previous, now deleted, comment I posted contained a link to the wrong business, please don’t use that link if you still see it for some reason)

  I look forward to the day when we stop displaying signs that celebrate human execution in public. When those idiots are bleating about “tH1nk 0f tH3 cH1ldr3n” why doesn’t that apply to their silly death cult?

  The new administration has also introduced Christian prayer at the start of its meetings, with a Reform councillor, the group whip Dan Price, saying the UK was a “Christian country”.

  Cool.

    So are they going to start operating food shelters to feed the poor then? They’re Christian after all.

  “Not happy with the gay rights situation” is screaming the quiet part at the top of your lungs.

    I wonder what rights she takes offense at? Them having any rights at all?

      Frankly it’s disgusting that we’re not allowed to hunt the gays for sport.

  Judy Crook, who runs the bookshop, told the Guardian that, though as “a point of basic Christian belief, we welcome everybody”, they did not want to promote homosexuality and “we’re not happy with the gay rights situation”.

  “We have to respect other people’s views. But we didn’t want the flag flying outside our shop.”

  She even admits it’s not Christianity saying to hate LGBTQ folk. She’s just a bigot.

    We have to respect other people’s views, except we don’t want to, also we welcome everybody but don’t want them to have rights.

    Why doesn’t the journalist ask “in what way does this impact your freedom of religion” and then stand there while they tie themselves in knots trying to answer the question.

    did not want to promote homosexuality

    It’s not a recruitment drive. Looking at a rainbow flag doesn’t make you become gay.

    People like that need pushing in the sea

  I’m offended by Christians, but no one removes them.
