FOR THOSE FOLLOWING ISABEL VAUGHAN-SPRUCE, WINS $ AFTER ARREST FOR PRAYING OUTSIDE ABORTION CLINIC

A British pro-life advocate arrested twice for praying silently outside a closed abortion clinic has reached a financial settlement amid concerns about a nationwide crackdown on such activity under the newly installed Labour Party government.

Isabel Vaughan-Spruce will receive $16,900 after filing a claim against the West Midlands Police in Birmingham, England, for false imprisonment, assault and battery, and breaches of her human rights, according to the U.K.’s division of Alliance Defending Freedom.

“There is no place for Orwell’s Thought Police in 21st century Britain, and thanks to legal support I received from ADF U.K., I’m delighted that the settlement that I have received today acknowledges that,” Ms. Vaughan-Spruce said in a press release after Monday’s settlement...more at Isabel Vaughan-Spruce wins nearly $17,000 after arrest for praying outside abortion clinic - Washington Times

ALAIN DELON HAS DIED

One of our favorite French actors.....FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP: Yesterday, 18 August 2024, French film star Alain Delon (1935) died at the age of 88. He was the breathtakingly good-looking James Dean of European cinema in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He proved in such films as Plein soleil/Purple Noon (René Clément, 1960) Rocco e i suoi fratelli/Rocco and his brothers (Luchino Visconti, 1960) and L'eclisse/The Eclipse (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1962) that he was also a magnificent actor. Delon later starred in a series of popular gangster films by directors like Henri Verneuil, Jacques Deray and Jean-Pierre Melville.
