Shockingly, she was also falsely informed that she was under police investigation, though no such action existed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the friendly tone of the initial conversation, which Mrs Culf recalls as \u201ccalm and amicable,\u201d she was later confronted with claims of harassment, threats to her professional work, and an unjust ban from her own exhibition.<\/p>\n<p><b>Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you&#8230; for my sake.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #0000ff; border-top: 9px solid #0000FF; border-bottom: 9px solid #0000FF; border-right: 18px solid #0000FF; border-left: 18px solid #0000FF; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/stop_transgenderism_now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Stop Transgenderism Now!<\/b> \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Police denied wrongdoing \u2014 council pressed on<\/h2>\n<p>Though Hertfordshire Police stated clearly that what Victoria Culf said amounted to free speech and not a crime, the Watford Borough Council continued treating her like a criminal.<\/p>\n<p>The council official falsely claimed the incident had been logged by the Hate Crime Officer and reportedly fabricated a crime reference number.
