Problematic preachers Bellenden Rd

[Lamusica]

Bit of a rant. It's bad enough having three  people insist on shouting the bible at everyone by the shops, as they stand in front of Fika cafe. But that aside, I very obviously tried to avert my head from the camera they've set up, but the camera man panned round and made sure he got me on film. I don't want to be filmed by some random person against my will. Surely I have a right not to be?

If you’re in a public place, your image is available for public consumption. 
But you would have a legitimate grievance if you found it was being misused

That's awful. Did you complain to this man?

With grokai now so prominent I’m not sure I agree with this tbh

I take it they’re not connected to Fika or any other business? Just looking for a busy area to preach?

No , I'm pretty sure they're not connected to any of the businesses there

Just walked past and they were still there. Thankfully not ranting as much and keeping the filming personal.

Are they connected to a local church? 

What do they rant about?

At least you can cross the road and get away. What I really object to is the people who do it at bus stops, and worse still on buses.

In the latter case, I did once  ask them to STFU. It was so long ago, I can't remember if they did.

I did the same on a bus.  The whole bus cheered!  The religious nut shut up.  It is not acceptable for people to try and force their beliefs on you

I'm not sure who they are with. I would have loved to tell them stfu Sue 😂

I just don't want a camera shoved in my face, in fact maybe that's what they wanted, some kind of reaction so they can create extra drama to boost their tiktok

I am so sorry to hear about this. xx

I agree. And nor should it be acceptable for someone to shove a camera in my face when I clearly tried to avoid it.
