top4718 Â Â 838 #1 Posted June 6, 2022 It appears that Cineworld has bowed to mob rule and stopped showing the film Lady of Heaven (which was obviously deemed fit to be shown by the BBFC) because a baying mob of Muslims protested, what a world we live in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeHasRisen   3,334 #2 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Just draws more attention to the film, people who protest about stuff like this are a bit thick really.  I had never heard of it until yesterday, and now I want to watch it to see what the fuss was about.

Exactly, if they don't agree with the content don't see it, if it's not making money Cineworld will soon remove it anyway. I'd have to carefully consider whether I use Cineworld again, we can't allow a rabble to force the rules, Curzon Cinema for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I just can't fathom out why any good Muslim would want to protest 🥴. On the other hand the good Christian types out there protested over 'Life of Brian'  .  Keep safe & (All together now)  " 🎵 All Way's Look On The Bight Side Of Life 🎵 "   1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cody's Granddad   52 #6 Posted June 7, 2022 Protesting is a right and sometimes I get it but for something like this then it just makes me want to go and see it, like some others I'd never even heard of it. I went to see Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) a few years ago and they were protesters outside the City Hall telling me I must tell him not to sing Israel. There is less chance of Ian Anderson listening to me than me listening to them and to top it all I had never heard of the song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Out of interest top, did you consider anti apartheid protesters a «  baying mob » or Ulster Loyalists who carried on and rioted during  the controversy a few years ago about the flying of the Union Jack in certain buildings in N Ireland ?  I appreciate they are different issues but just in the interests of consistency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Man in Crete   97 #9 Posted June 7, 2022 All this is on a par with the chubby brown episode at the city hall . The vocal minority win once again and it’s time the rest shouted up that it’s not acceptable . Next thing we’ll have Mary Whitehouse’s lot saying you can’t watch tv in your own home in your pyjamas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I didnt mention the ethinicity of the men, or their skin colour, at any point, so settle down.
