I went up to Stratford again this afternoon. As usual I encountered a group of street preachers just outside the station there. They were very loud, shouting all kinds of absurd things through a speaker, threatening people with being sent to hell unless they listened. Some of what they were saying strayed into homophobia, and at one point I was accused of being possessed by daemons. People there were trying to go about their business in peace, but the noise being made was inescapable. Surely I can’t be the only person who finds this not just intrusive and annoying, but actively offensive?
