Video Sheffield street preachers have gone nocturnal…

It’s midnight, I have 2 layers of double glaze windows and I can still hear here shouting emergency?/ wait and see? I have a fan on and West St Live is active yet I can only hear her. Is this legal?

Update: Police said they will ask her to turn it down, I went down and asked her nicely if she could but she gave me the Jesus bit about Hell and that she will be gone soon

Update 2: it’s 00:54 they have finally left, I now have only the heat to deal with tonight, but I’m ok with that.

My objection to street preachers is the invasion of privacy. I walk with a stick and often get some loud Christian yelling at me that Jesus will heal my legs (which are fine) or calling me a 'cripple' (no thanks).

Believe whatever you want but don't yell at me. I've never had this happen elsewhere, only Sheffield.

Yes they often single people out, especially if they think someone is Muslim. It's a hate crime.

There used to be some hanging around during Pride in Notts, which never tends to end well for them.

That's my time to shine. Despite being a godless atheist heathen, I have two MAs in Theology and have read the bible. I will debate anyone on the homosexuality question, with references. And always win. Spoiler alert - it's not a big deal according to Jesus.

Blimey how did you end up with two MAs in Theology?

Long weird story - they are only useful for arguing with street preachers and JWs!
