'Women, walk wherever you want' posters taken down in Stamford Hill following 'unacceptable' signs separating men and women

A film-maker has protested against posters in north London that told women which side of the road they should walk on by putting up signs of his own.

The original posters, written in Yiddish and English, were put up in Stamford Hill by the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community for a Torah parade earlier this month and were removed by the council after complaints.
When Sam Aldersley saw one of the signs, he decided to make his own, reading “women – please feel free to walk wherever you want…it’s 2014," but they have also been taken down.
After putting them up around Stamford Hill when the previous posters had been removed, the 27-year-old filmed the reactions of passers-by.

Whether this is an over reaction or not, it was daft to put up and shows what is wrong with the literal belief of Abrahamic faiths, where they again clearly discriminate against women.
Surely the people of this faith know their religious views anyway, so why was it necessary to place up?
It is like an enforcement of the faith.

I think the world is going mad and that if God were to come down he'd tell everyone to grow the fuck up.

I think if these were Muslims rather than Jews the British would be in a complete uproar right now ... we'd have heard from every UK right-winger on the subject by now. Who says brand names don't matter?
