How Girls Now Need Judges to Secure Their Privacy

8 June 2026

Campaign group calls courts’ inaction absurd as single-sex provision remains unenforced

A Scottish judge has delivered what would once have been regarded as a statement of the obvious: girls should have access to girls-only toilets.

The Court of Session ruled that West Lothian Council acted unlawfully by failing to provide single-sex toilet facilities at a newly built primary school. The case was brought by the parents of a young girl who became so distressed by the mixed-sex arrangements that she reduced her fluid intake to avoid using the toilets during the school day.

According to the judgment, the “child regularly returned home in pain because she refused to use the facilities”. Other parents had also raised concerns before the family took the matter to Scotland’s highest civil court.

The council argued that “separate floor-to-ceiling lockable cubicles were sufficient”. Lady Poole disagreed, ruling that the authority had failed to comply with its legal obligations and ordering it to pay the parents’ legal costs.

It is quite a remarkable achievement of modern governance that a family had to go all the way to court to establish that primary school girls deserve privacy. Once upon a time, common sense was free. Now it apparently requires judicial review.

England and Wales

In Wales, parents at Morriston Comprehensive School in Swansea raised concerns as far back as 2021 after unisex facilities were introduced. While the toilet cubicles themselves remained separate, boys and girls shared communal washing areas. Some parents reportedly advised their children not to use the facilities, arguing that girls deserved greater privacy. The school defended the arrangements, claiming they helped reduce bullying and loitering.

Parents at Bishop of Llandaff Church in Wales High School in Cardiff voiced similar concerns after the introduction of gender-neutral toilets. School leaders insisted the changes were made for practical reasons rather than ideology, but the move nevertheless sparked considerable opposition from families.

In England, Priory School, Lewes (East Sussex), attracted national attention over “gender-neutral” policies and was cited in wider debates about facilities and accommodation for transgender pupils. There was even a petition calling for gender-neutral toilets at the school.

Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch, referred to a case involving a girl who allegedly developed health problems because she avoided using newly rebuilt gender-neutral toilets. The school was reported to be in Walsall, although it was not publicly named

It is a remarkable sign of our times that judges increasingly have to intervene to remind educational authorities of something previous generations regarded as self-evident: girls deserve privacy, and safeguarding is not an optional extra.

“Obsessed With Certain Middle-class Hobby Horses”

Following the Supreme Court’s ruling that sex in equality law refers to biological sex, the Equality and Human Rights Commission updated its code of practice. The reaction from sections of Labour was immediate and predictable.

Labour MP Sarah Owen complained that the guidance remained “trans-exclusionary”. Nadia Whittome claimed that it “effectively pushes trans people out of public life”, while Cat Eccles “warned” of a major change in how equality law might operate. How laughable.

The Government’s response was rather less dramatic. Equalities Minister Seema Malhotra simply stated: “We will continue to ensure that we provide single-sex spaces where needed, and also ensure that trans people have access to services to support their needs, in an environment of dignity and respect for all”.

Perhaps the most striking intervention came from Labour MP Jonathan Hinder, who appeared increasingly bewildered that so many of his colleagues were dedicating their energy to opposing a law that says men cannot use women’s changing rooms.

Speaking to BBC Newsnight, he asked: “Are we for working-class people or are we obsessed with certain middle-class hobby horses?”

It is not often that a politician summarises a debate so effectively. While voters worry about housing, immigration, energy bills and crime, Westminster remains capable of spending an entire afternoon arguing with biological reality.

John 8:32 Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Hampstead Heath

While Scotland’s courts have been reminding councils what the law says about sex, the City of London Corporation has been busy demonstrating that consultation exercises can apparently achieve what court judgments cannot.

The Corporation has voted to retain its existing policy at Hampstead Heath bathing ponds. As a result, “transgender women”, whose biological sex is male, may continue using the Ladies’ Pond, while “transgender men”, whose biological sex is female, may continue using the Men’s Pond.

According to the Corporation, 86 per cent of the 38,000 responses supported keeping the current arrangements. To address concerns, additional private cubicles will now be installed.

The logic is fascinating. The Supreme Court clarified the meaning of sex in law, yet a public consultation appears capable of producing a different practical outcome. One wonders what other settled legal definitions might be revisited if enough online survey responses can be gathered.

At least the Corporation has found a solution. When reality proves inconvenient, simply build more cubicles and hope nobody notices the contradiction.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Common Sense Returns to Sunderland, “Pride Flag” Yanked Off

Reform led council will no longer fly pride flag

In what can only be described as a refreshing return to common sense, the flag of England will now fly outside Sunderland City Hall every single day of the year.

Yes, England’s national flag flying permanently above an English city council building is now apparently newsworthy — such is the state of modern Britain.

The decision was announced by Reform UK councillors after residents repeatedly questioned why the flag of St George was not already being flown all year round at the heart of an English city.

Councillor Ciera Hudspith, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Tourism and Heritage, said: Cllr Ciera Hudspith, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Tourism and Heritage, said: “Any flag flown outside a governing body should represent our nation and our country as a whole, not a sectional interest.

“Time and time again on the doorstep, residents told us they were confused as to why England’s flag was not flying outside City Hall all year round.

“Today, it is an honour and a privilege to raise the flag of St George at the heart of our great city.”

The council also confirmed that “council’s flagpoles will be reserved for national and civic flags that represent our country, heritage and wider community as a whole. For that reason, the Pride flag will never be flown outside City Hall.”

Predictably, this triggered immediate outrage from political opponents and activists, who accused Reform UK of engaging in “pathetic culture war politics” and attempting to divide communities.

Psalm 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

“Love is love?”

Labour critics insisted that flying the Pride flag showed LGBT people they were “welcome, valued and respected”, while accusing Reform of making people feel unwelcome under the banner of patriotism.

The Sunderland Labour Group said: “Reform UK banning the Pride flag from City Hall is pathetic culture war politics designed to divide people and distract from the real issues affecting people across our city.
Singling out areas of the community is designed to be divisive. Sunderland is a proud, welcoming and decent city where people look out for one another and where all our communities matter.

“Flying the Pride flag at City Hall showed the world that all people are welcome, valued and respected. Reform are trying to make LGBTQ+ people feel unwelcome and calling it “patriotism.”

“Sunderland is better than this toxic attempt at division. We stand in full solidarity with our LGBTQ+ communities and friends. You deserve to feel safe and respected everywhere. Love is love.”

But many residents will struggle to see how flying England’s national flag outside an English civic building became controversial in the first place.

In some places, St George’s Cross seemed to appear only during football tournaments, briefly tolerated before being packed away again for another year.

Sunderland’s decision marks a noticeable shift away from performative politics and back towards civic identity rooted in nationhood, history, and shared heritage.

And judging by the reaction, one might conclude that flying England’s flag in England is now considered the truly rebellious act.

1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Other councils

Sunderland is not the only council beginning to rethink whether town halls should function as permanent billboards for political activism.

In recent years, councils in parts of England and Wales have either scaled back “Pride” displays, limited which flags can be flown on public buildings, or adopted “neutral flag” policies restricting council flagpoles to official national and civic symbols only. Such councils are Kent, North and West Northamptonshire and Durham County Council.

The argument is remarkably simple: council buildings are supposed to represent the entire public, not specific political movements or ideological campaigns. That, however, is now treated as deeply provocative.

For years, many local authorities appeared perfectly comfortable flying activist banners while simultaneously insisting they were politically neutral institutions. Yet the moment councils decide to prioritise national flags instead, accusations of “division” suddenly emerge.

Apparently, flying the flag of England above an English city hall is exclusionary, while flying ideological symbols for months at a time was somehow a shining example of unity.

The deeper issue is not really about flags at all. It is about who public institutions believe they exist to represent.

More councils are now beginning to realise that ordinary residents expect civic buildings to reflect shared national identity and local heritage, not the latest social campaign approved by diversity officers and activists on social media.

And judging by the increasingly furious reactions whenever Pride flags are quietly removed, some activists seem to have mistaken temporary public support for permanent ownership of civic space.

Ghana Takes a Stand Against Sodomy

While much of the Western political class remains busy debating pronouns, rewriting definitions, and assuring citizens that biological reality is remarkably complicated, Ghana has decided to take a rather different approach.

The West African nation has become the latest country to advance legislation restricting “LGBT” activism, following a sustained campaign by church groups, religious leaders, and family-values organisations.

Under the proposed law, the promotion, sponsorship, or advocacy of LGBT activities could carry prison sentences of up to ten years. Same-sex relationships would remain illegal, while individuals identifying as “LGBT” could also face criminal penalties. The legislation is expected to be signed into law by President John Dramani Mahama.

Supporters say the bill protects Ghana’s cultural values, religious convictions, and traditional understanding of family life.

Unbothered About Lectures from Western Activists

What makes the story particularly striking is not the legislation itself, but the confidence behind it. Ghana appears entirely unconcerned about lectures from Western activists, international NGOs, or the inevitable outrage from social-media campaigners thousands of miles away.

In Britain, politicians often seem terrified of saying anything that might upset a pressure group. In Ghana, lawmakers appear more interested in asking what their own citizens believe.

Whether one agrees with every aspect of the legislation or not, there is something refreshingly unfashionable about a country that still believes its laws should reflect its culture rather than the latest ideological trends imported from abroad.

The irony is difficult to miss. For years, Western governments have enthusiastically exported progressive values around the world while criticising nations that refuse to adopt them. Ghana’s response appears to be a polite but firm reminder that national sovereignty still exists and perhaps, Westminster could take note.

Growing list

Ghana is among a growing list of African countries enacting laws banning sodomy. In 2023 , Uganda voted in some of the world’s harshest anti-LGBT legislation, prescribing the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” and life imprisonment for “homosexuality”.

Earlier this year Senegal’s parliament approved a new law doubling to 10 years, the maximum prison term for sexual acts by same-sex couples and criminalising the “promotion of homosexuality”.

Religious and conservative voices in Ghana quickly welcomed parliament’s vote.

“Human rights campaigners” warned the law was not only “discriminatory, but could have far-reaching consequences beyond its intended targets”.

Henry Nowak: Are the people right to protest?

Justice, Policing & Crime

Stephen

5 June 2026

In the light of the shocking police brutality against the dying Henry Nowak, and the various reactions, could the people be more in step with the mind of God than our arrogant leaders?

It is now apparent that our elite have institutionalised the ungodly two-tier policing which Mr Nowak suffered. And they don’t want to admit it.

For example, here’s the Chief Constable of Hampshire Police, flatly denying two-tier policing, denying differential treatment, demanding politicians support him, as he makes a half-apology, in an article on LBC. Clearly, he does not like being brought to the light.

‘I can’t breathe’

As the Lord Jesus said:
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

The facts are now clear. Eighteen-year-old Henry Nowak, going about his business in Southampton on 3rd December 2025, was murdered by Vickrum Digwa, a twenty-three-old Sikh with an obsession for weapons. Digwa stabbed Henry multiple times, whereupon Digwa’s brother called the police to allege that Henry had racially-abused and attacked Digwa.

The police found Digwa’s father holding Henry up, but he fell to the ground. The police then dragged the university student across the gravel and handcuffed him behind his back, even though he posed no threat. They arrested him merely on the lies of the Digwa family.

They ignored Henry when he said over and over again, ‘I can’t breathe’. They even ridiculed him when he told them repeatedly he had been stabbed. One officer said, ‘I don’t think you have, mate.’

The knife Vickrum Digwa used to murder Henry Nowak.

They treated Henry Nowak like a criminal, reading him his ‘rights’, because they believed an entirely false allegation of racism against him. It was only when a policewoman noticed his eyes were unresponsive that she called an ambulance. But it was too late.

All this time, they treated Vickrum Digwa, the actual assailant, with dignity as a fictitious victim of racism. Digwa was already known to Hampshire Police. They investigated him over the alleged theft of weapons from a Sikh gurdwara in Southampton in August twenty-twenty-three. The Daily Express reports that no charges were brought.

Sikh Kirpan ritual knives can be as small as 3" long. — Sikh Kirpan ritual knives can be as small as 3″ long.

Sikhs are allowed to carry ritual knives, known as a Kirpan. But Digwa stabbed Henry Nowak not with a Kirpan but with an eight-inch long dagger. He claimed he carried it as part of his faith. That was another lie.

Family need justice

Mr Nowak’s godmother, Kelly Hatchard, described Henry as ‘loving, caring, intelligent and hardworking’, according to Sky News. His father, Mark Nowak, added Digwa ‘was afforded decency’ and ‘we understand, he was never handcuffed at all’. ‘Henry did not die with dignity. He did not die with the care he deserved. He lost consciousness before anyone believed him,’ his distraught father went on.

On Monday 1st June, the BBC reports Vickrum Digwa was convicted and jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years. Yes, you are right, the Bible says:

Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

If there were any justice in our land, Digwa should be facing the death penalty. Without it, the guilt of Henry Nowak’s murder falls on all of us, on the whole society. There are spiritual dimensions to crime which our secularist elite cannot grasp. It’s the elite which always oppose the reintroduction of the death penalty for murder.

‘Sons of belial’

Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur, was also convicted of assisting an offender by actively hiding the murder weapon. She awaits sentencing in July. StreamlineFeed reports his father and brother appeared in court the next day facing weapons charges. ITV say police found an arsenal of offensive weapons at their home, including machetes, swords, an air rifle, a flick knife, an extendable baton, knuckledusters, and a traditional kirpan.

It was Digwa’s deception, aided by racism presumptions which are part of policing instructions, which hastened Henry Nowak’s death. The presiding judge dismissed Digwa’s defense as a complete fabrication designed to obscure pure malice. The Bible writers would describe him as a worthless man, a ‘son of belial’ or ‘of worthlessness’:

1Kings 21:13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king.

They would categorise his family as false witnesses and accessories to murder. Sikh organisations have condemned the Digwa family.

Two-tier policing

In the House of Commons, Nigel Farage insisted the case showed ‘two-tier policing.’ He argued anti-racism guidelines issued to officers had led forces to treat ‘different ethnic groups in different ways’. The Lord forbids exactly that in scripture. It is written:

Exod 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

Secularists think principles of equality somehow just exist in nature, but they don’t. They claim principles of fairness are universal rather than revealed. Plainly they are not, if God has to spell out the foundations of equality knowing some folk will never be fair-minded left to their own devices. In our own day, to prove the point, the British Establishment itself has accepted and institutionalised inequality in flat contradiction of the divine principle.

In the wake of the racially motivated, unprovoked murder of Caribbean teenager Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, South London in 1993, the Macpherson Report was published six years later. Macpherson established a principle that every complaint about an incident of racism should be recorded and investigated as such.

But the complaint could be subjective. It only needed to be: ‘perceived by the complainant or someone else as an act of racism’. The Macpherson report called for a Ministerial Priority that all police services ‘increase trust and confidence in policing amongst minority ethnic communities.’

That anti-racism policy entrenched anti-white racism into the fabric of our institutions. It diverts the police from nicking criminals into two-tier social engineering. It defies biblical principles of equality before the law.

Starmer resorts to deception

Sir Keir Starmer appears to be testing how far he can push the people before they rebel.

Mr Farage added: ‘Henry’s family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way. But I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold rage.’

Naturally, Keir Starmer also invoked the Nowak family to accuse Mr Farage of ‘Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division’. He has accused Elon Musk of the same thing for a tweet which criticised no-one except the police. The tech billionaire was ‘trying to whip up division’.

Well, I think people can recognise a rogue family when they see one. They know Sikhs are among the most law-abiding members of society. Even Tommy Robinson has commended the Sikhs in a video.

David Spring: jailed for 8 months for shouting at policemen. — David Spring: jailed for 8 months in 2024 merely for shouting at policemen.

Sir Keir is scared because he knows the grievance with the police is already there, and that the real division is between the people and him and his kind, the establishment, the elite. That is why protestors confronted police officers in Southampton, hurling insults, accusations and street furniture at them. The trouble intensified on Tuesday 2nd June and the following day.

And just as with the aftermath of the Southport murders, people protesting, loudly, even violently on the streets against the establishment are being misrepresented and condemned by establishment politicians. On Wednesday morning, Sarah Jones MP, the policing minister, urged people not to ‘overreact’. This secularist Sarah voted to impose same-sex marriage and abortion on demand on Northern Ireland, for LGBT sex education, DIY abortion pills by post, buffer zones with no prayer and assisted suicide. But let’s not overreact.

‘Hijacking this tragedy’

Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, went further. She accused the protesters, or maybe Mr Farage, of ‘hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder.’ She tells us those criticising the police and the policy have no legitimate concerns. They’ve ‘highjacked’ what both she and Keir Starmer are calling ‘this tragedy’. And, inevitably, ‘Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.’ Watch what you tweet, folks.

Shabana told the House of Commons (Watch the Parliament video here from 13:43:16 to 13:45:20ff) or Read the script here:

‘I expect many in this House and many more across this country have now seen the police officer’s bodycam footage, released last night. It is, without question, a disturbing and tragic thing to see.’ (13:43:16 – 13:43:30)

She went on to say: ‘People are rightly asking questions about how the situation was handled and they are shocked, and disquieted, to hear Henry’s words: “I can’t breathe”.’ (13:43:30 – 13:43:40) They are more than ‘shocked and disquieted’, Home Secretary. They are outraged.

We expected to hear the Home Secretary admit that institutionalised procedure on allegations of racism led directly to the mistreatment of Henry Novak by police officers, which was revealed by the body-cam footage. But she didn’t. Instead, would you believe it:

‘Proper Process’ with IOPC

‘There is a proper process to assess whether there have been incidents of police misconduct led by the Independent Office for Police Conduct – the IOPC’ (13:43:45 – 13:43:54) She referred to ‘A proper process’ as she hid behind the IOPC.

‘There have been accusations, I know, of two-tier policing: That one community has been prioritised over another. It will be for the IOPC to determine the facts with regards to this specific case and I cannot and will not comment on them.’ (13:44:29 – 13:44:44)

But it is not ‘the facts’, it’s the two-tier anti-racism policy which is the problem, and it’s that too which she will not comment on. Shabana Mahmood even went on, like a recorded message: ‘The police in this country have a sacred duty: To police without fear or favour.’ (13:44:49 – 13:44:55) They do indeed. The Bible says:

Lev 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

It is a sacred duty, coming from the Lord God himself. And then she followed it with a complete manifest untruth. This Shabana said: ‘Everyone in this country is equal before the law.’ (13:44:55 – 13:45:00) But some, we now see, are more equal than others.

Diversion away from police actions

Why can she not admit that? It’s gaslighting. A deliberate untruth. Now watch while she tries to divert us all to focus on the original crime and to ignore the disgraceful actions of the police officers:

‘Let me also be clear about one other thing – a dangerous undercurrent that I have seen in the reaction to this awful crime.’ (13:45:16 – 13:45:20)

No, Ms Mahmood, people are not out on the streets in reaction ‘to this awful crime’. They are outraged not by the crime itself so much as by the treatment by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary of an innocent man. Why would she duck and dive like that unless the elite have something to hide? Again, she is trying to gaslight us.

If you read or watch her speech, you will be amazed that she continued it by wittering on about ‘knife crime’ and what they claim to be ‘doing’ about it, about ‘Young Futures Hubs’ and ‘positive change’, while MPs nodded in agreement. It is as if they exist in a parallel universe where normal rules of honesty, truth and justice do not apply. Or are they trying to convince themselves of their own rectitude while ignoring reality and just trying to stay in office? Tell us in the comments!

IOPC is not ‘independent’ at all!

Shabana Mahmood said: ‘Threats against police officers are utterly unacceptable’. (13:45:20 – 13:45:25) But apparently, His Majesty’s Government, for whom she speaks, will think the police callousness in their treatment of Henry Novak was entirely acceptable, until such time as her IOPC reports to the contrary.

Did I say ‘her IOPC? The Director General of the so-called Independent Office for Police Conduct is appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister, another lover of ‘proper process’.

The Non-Executive Directors who make up the IOPC’s Unitary Board are publicly appointed directly by the Home Secretary. The IOPC is her creature. It is not ‘independent’ at all.

And according to an investigation into The Macpherson Report from the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee in 2022, the IOPC itself was looking for ‘more cases where there is an indication that disproportionality impacts BAME (that’s ‘black and minority-ethnic’) communities.’

Police Chiefs Council admit ‘two-tier’ approach

The National Police Chiefs Council published an Anti-Racism Commitment in March 2025.

Under ‘Our commitment to racial equity’, it says: “Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences, with understanding that these will be racialised and with the aim of reducing harm. It does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’ (racial equality).”

It’s an ‘anti-racism’ document saying people should not be treated equally and that certain groups should be singled out for preferential treatment to advance desired ‘outcomes’. Such an approach is specifically condemned by scripture:

Lev 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

The BBC reported even minister Sarah Jones said it ‘felt wrong’ yet defended it inexplicably as a ‘values’ document. What kind of values might those be? Shabana Mahmood did not even address it. Scripture keeps on about this principle of equality before the law. Here’s the book of Numbers:

Numb 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Lack of confidence in the police

A parliamentary survey found that 67% of White adults say they believe the police will treat them fairly compared to 56% of Black adults. To put it round the other way, one third of white adults and just under half of black adults believe the police will not treat them fairly.

Kemi Badenoch wrote after her meeting with the Nowak family: ‘They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.’

No wonder people took to the streets. They feel that is their only recourse. They have no faith either in those in office or in the quangos they set up. They have been ignored by the elite, treated with contempt, regarded with disdain by those in authority, dismissed as fascists, plastic nationalists, Reform voters. Of course there are hotheads, even criminal elements, who seize any opportunity to make noise, throw stuff, even loot shops. But they are opportunists. The original grievance provides their cover.

By a strange coincidence, in an interview for a BBC Radio 4 documentary ‘England’s Identity Crisis’, carried out before the Nowak row erupted on Monday 1st June 2026, Mrs Badenoch said tensions in our land could erupt in time into civil war. On Daily Sceptic, David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King’s College London, has said something very similar. Whether the conflict will set the Christian majority against the Muslims or against the elite appears to be the only question.

And it looks like it will require a miraculous change of those in power for the intrinsically-racist anti-racism policy to be abandoned, by God’s grace, along with all the rest of the DEI agenda, unconscious bias training in public bodies, critical race theory, the whole house of cards.

Because even now the head of the National Black Police Association (NPBA) has warned police forces are at risk of making ‘not well thought-out’ changes to the anti-racism guidance. Andy George, a Police Service of Northern Ireland chief inspector, said any move to re-draft the commitment in light of the Nowak case would be ‘reactive’.

Bible supports the protesters!

Protesters in Southampton are targeting the police, not Sikhs

Do you think this is new, an elite trying it on, seeing what they can get away with before the people rebel? No, it isn’t. In fact, there is a very strong biblical parallel. It’s in the first book of Kings, chapter 12, and also in second Chronicles chapter 10.

King Solomon is dead and his son Rehoboam has succeeded him. The people come to him asking for a reduction in their taxes. He treats them with contempt, saying he will increase their taxes. The people rebelled. Firstly, the ten northern tribes of Israel broke away from the Davidic kingdom of Judah:

1Kings 12:16 … the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

Secondly, Rehoboam sent out his tax collector, with this result:

1Kings 12:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.

Like it or not, there is not one word of condemnation for the people, from the Lord, recorded in either the Kings account or that in Chronicles. All the blame lies with the elite, with Rehoboam, for refusing to be a humble, servant king who would put the interests of the people before his status and his arrogant, autocratic ideology.

And it’s the same here. Our arrogant elite must be replaced by able, humble, God-fearing, truthful, honest men who will put the prosperity and security of the people before their ungodly ideologies. Pray for that, and pray for what you can do to bring it about.

Buffer Zone Bible Case Moves to EHCR

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

3 June 2026

Stephen Green on 6th February 2023 outside Marie Stopes abortion facility in Mattock Lane, Ealing.

Our lawyers have submitted an application to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), seeking consideration of the case of Christian Voice National Director, Stephen Green, who was prosecuted for displaying a Bible verse within an abortion clinic buffer zone.

Mr. Green was convicted after holding a sign bearing the words of Psalm 139:13:

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. (KJV)

The application, lodged by the Christian Legal Centre, asks the EHRC to examine the implications of the case for freedom of religion and freedom of expression in the United Kingdom.

Mr Green pleaded not guilty, maintaining that he was exercising his right to freedom of speech and religious expression. However, Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court convicted him of breaching the buffer zone order. He was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £2,426 in costs and surcharge. Stephen Green applied to appeal his conviction but was refused by a judge in February 2026.

The preacher harassed nobody, nor did he mention abortion. Nevertheless, District Judge Kathryn Verghis ruled that by holding the sign he was guilty of protesting by ‘engaging in an act of approval/disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services’.

Mr Green has vowed to continue challenging unjust restrictions on Christian witness in public spaces.

Stop Abortion Buffer Zones →

A Direct Attack on the Bible

Stephen Green said: “As a Christian I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception.

“Buffer zones and this conviction is a direct attack on the Bible and free speech, which is being licenced by the state. I have no choice but to continue to defend myself and fight for justice. People are right to be concerned about the buffer zone legislation. To bar Christian witness and to control what people can say is deeply draconian and discriminatory against Christians.

“If it is now a criminal offence to hold a sign with a verse from Psalm 139 on it in a London street, then none of us is free. I have been ordered to pay costs, frankly I would rather go to prison than pay this to the state that has banned the Bible.”

Mr Green is continuing his legal fight against restrictions which he argues effectively criminalise the public sharing of biblical truths in certain locations across the UK.

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you.

Rose Docherty

In May 2026, another significant development strengthened the case for free speech around abortion buffer zones. The Crown Office declined to appeal the acquittal of Rose Docherty, a 75-year-old Catholic grandmother from Glasgow who had been prosecuted after offering to speak with people near an abortion facility.

Mrs Docherty was cleared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 27 April after a judge dismissed two charges alleging that she had attempted to “influence” people within a buffer zone. The decision marked the first successful defence under Scotland’s abortion buffer zone legislation.

The Crown Office had one week to challenge the ruling but allowed the deadline to pass. ADF International coordinated her legal defence. Mrs Docherty had been arrested outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital while holding a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”

She neither approached anyone nor engaged in behaviour that was threatening, obstructive or intimidating. Nevertheless, she was detained for several hours and, despite having undergone a double hip replacement, says she was denied a chair while being held in custody.

With support from ADF International, Mrs Docherty is now considering legal action over her treatment and arrest. This was the second time she had been arrested for offering peaceful, consensual conversation within a buffer zone. An earlier prosecution was dropped in August 2025.

This matters enormously—not only for Rose Docherty, but for everyone who believes that offering a consensual conversation on a public street should never be treated as a criminal offence.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season.

What Happened to Pastor Johnson?

Clive Johnston: Pastor facing court for preaching close to abortion clinic at Causeway Hospital | BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Retired pastor Clive Johnston was found guilty of carrying out an act within a safe access zone that could influence a person attending the premises. He was also convicted of failing to comply with a direction to leave the area and was fined £450.

The 78-year-old former President of the Association of Baptist Churches in Ireland conducted an open-air service near Causeway Hospital in Coleraine on 7 July 2024.

Pastor Johnston described his conviction under Northern Ireland’s abortion buffer zone laws as “a very dark day for Christian freedom”.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

High Court Overturns Conviction

In contrast to several recent prosecutions, veteran pro-life campaigner David Skinner secured a significant legal victory when the High Court overturned his conviction.

Mr Skinner had been prosecuted after sending an email containing graphic images opposing abortion and censorship zones around abortion facilities in Bournemouth. On 24 May, Mr Justice Saini ruled that although the offence may have been established under domestic law, maintaining a criminal conviction would represent a disproportionate interference with Mr Skinner’s rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religion.

The case, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, centred on an email sent in April 2023 to local officials, police representatives and councillors in Dorset. In the correspondence, Mr Skinner outlined his moral objections to abortion and criticised what he viewed as unjust enforcement of the Bournemouth buffer zone.

The ruling brought to an end nearly three years of legal proceedings and highlighted important constitutional questions surrounding free speech and religious liberty.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Another Conviction

Physiotherapist Adam Smith-Connor was convicted after praying silently outside an abortion facility in Bournemouth. The 51-year-old former serviceman stood outside the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinic in Ophir Road in November 2022 while a Public Spaces Protection Order was in force.

Poole Magistrates’ Court heard that Mr Smith-Connor stood with his head bowed and hands clasped. He later explained that he had been praying for his unborn son, who died through abortion 22 years earlier.

He maintained not breaching the order. However, District Judge Orla Austin concluded that his actions had been deliberate and convicted him.

Mr Smith-Connor received a two-year conditional discharge and was ordered to pay more than £9,000 in costs.

“Buffer Zones”

In January 2023, following an amendment to the Public Order Bill, ‘buffer zones’ around abortion clinics were brought in nationally.

Politicians and campaigners have decried the introduction of the zones as draconian measures that criminalize free speech and prevent vulnerable women from access to alternatives to abortion.

The conviction of Green comes a day after Home Secretary James Cleverly said his department is listening ‘very carefully’ to responses to a consultation on draft non-statutory guidance to support the introduction of Safe Access Zones around abortion clinics.

The Government has said the guidance is designed to ensure abortion service providers and everyone within Safe Access Zones are clear as to what is expected under the Public Order Act 2023.

The legislation, covering England and Wales, contains powers to make it an offence to interfere with, intimidate or harass women accessing, or people providing, abortion services.

READ: Gen 4:8-10, 14:16; Deut 27:25; 1Sam 30:18; Prov 6:16-17; Eccl 11:5; Isa 59:7; Matt 18:10; Luke 12:11-12; 1 Corinth 16:13; Eph 6:13-19; 2 Tim 2:9

PRAY: Pray that the Lord will strengthen Christians to stand boldly for truth, regardless of the cost.

Father, protect freedom to preach, pray, and share Your Word throughout the United Kingdom.

Pray that the Lord will grant wisdom and courage to judges, lawmakers, and public officials to uphold justice and liberty.

Watch this nanosermon here:

Nanosermon Script:

Have you ever been told to keep your Christian opinions to yourself? And if so, maybe someone supported that with these verses from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, chapter five and verse twelve:

1Cor 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Now, you might think that on the basis of this word that you were right to keep your opinions to yourself, that Christians should never pass judgment or even mild criticism on what an unbeliever is doing. We’ll shut up and just leave it to God to deal with them.

Church discipline

But does that agree with scripture and is it what Paul means in this passage? Let’s answer the second question first and look at the context which is the whole of chapter five. Here’s the first verse:

1Cor 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

What does the law of God say? Paul will have known this word in Leviticus chapter eighteen:
Leviticus 18:8 The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.

And that is repeated three times more in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. It is adultery, incest and confusion between the generations rolled into one. The Corinthian believers were tolerating this situation. Paul was shocked. And he told them what to do, which was, kick this man out. You see, there has to be a measure of discipline, or the whole church will fall to pieces, not know what it stands for, and not be able to minister the love and grace of God at all.

State is a God-given sphere of government

But if the church is one sphere of God’s government, the state is another, separate sphere. Although both derive their authority from God, kings should not lord it over the church and clerics should not rule the state.

Paul wrote in Romans chapter thirteen about the civil structures God has put in place and he makes clear that civil rulers judge or should judge according to the laws of God. It is through those God delegates in this way that he judges those who are outside. Take a look at my Nanosermon ‘Ministers of God’.

In addition, Christians have a God-given duty to be prophetic. As I show in ‘A prophetic church’ on the Nanosermon channel, the Prophets form a fifth of the Bible.
We are mandated to be what the Lord Jesus described as salt and light in a corrupt and dark world, to speak his word and tell it as God sees it. That is not in any way to sit in judgment ourselves. It’s warning of the judgment of God and a calling to repentance.

Our prophetic duty

Our prophetic duty in no way contradicts what the Apostle is saying to the Corinthians about church discipline. He is simply telling them that he, personally, holds no office to sit in judgment on those outside the church.

But he does not say that a Christian may not be a magistrate, or a member of a state government, or a prophet. The prophets Nathan and Isaiah were both in government. John the Baptist held Herod to account for his sin. These are righteous, responsible and loving things to do.

To sum up, church discipline is vital, while elders should be familiar with the laws of God and the Gospel in order to know what is right and wrong and maintain order in the church. But don’t take that to mean you must keep your head down and never speak out against evil elsewhere. The dear apostle’s letter to the church in Corinth in no way absolves you from your Christian prophetic duty.

Directions for travel to West Ham

Praying on the Greenway at West Ham with Channel Sea House in the background. — Praying on the Greenway with the site to the left and Channel Sea House in the background.

So come along to the next prayer meeting at West Ham: We gather by the grace of God on every first Saturday in the month from 11.00 am to 11.00 pm. You will find us at the site where the Greenway pedestrian path crosses Canning Road. Aim for Channel Sea House at E15 3ND (Streetmap.co.uk).

If coming by rail, take the DLR from either Stratford or West Ham to Abbey Road. Turn right out of the station, left into Canning Road, and find the prayer site at the top, opposite Channel Sea House, where Canning Road crosses the Greenway. NB: Until May 2026, the Greenway is closed, so if you alight at West Ham Station you need to turn right then right again into Manor Road, under the bridges, left up Leywick Street, then left onto Abbey Road, pass the DLR then turn left into Canning Road.

The Coming Weekend:

Check at Transport for London for ‘planned engineering works’ to the Tube. For the coming weekend all looks well for our serving lines.

If coming by ULEZ-friendly car (!), parking in the roads off Leywick Street E15 3DD is allowed this weekend. Check for yourself at Newham Council’s website or the Stadium website for the dates. To drop people off at the site aim for Channel Sea House at the end of Canning Road. SatNav for that and the site is E15 3ND. You can also approach from the A118 High Street. It is worth saying that sometimes, if there are not too many cars, it is possible to get away with parking just outside Channel Sea House, and you can see your car from where we pray. If not, or whenever there is ‘Event Day’ restriction. you may have to park up in Stratford and take the DLR back.

Come along and be challenged and blessed

DO COME and stand up for Christ and be challenged and blessed! (Phil 1:27-29). The meeting is always a wonderful, peaceful time of fellowship, worship and seeking the Lord in prayer and in his word.

PRAY: For a good turn-out at this Saturday’s meeting with powerful prayer for our nation. Do pray that God will bless our nation with repentance. Pray that his enemies, whether Secularist or Islamic, will either be scattered or converted to the cause of Christ. And pray their plans against the Lord Almighty will come to nothing. Who is on the Lord’s side? Come along and stand with us! If you really cannot come, join us in prayer at home or go on the livestream (see above).

Praying here since 2007

We have been praying here, near the site of the radical Islamic group’s proposed ‘mega-mosque,’ since January 2007. That’s now sixteen years ago! The proposed development would have become the largest place of worship in Britain and Tablighi Jamaat’s European HQ. In December 2015 the Government refused the appeal of the Anjuman-E-Islahul-Mislimeen Trust against Newham Council’s decision not to grant them planning permission for the development. The Court of Appeal then refused to give them leave to seek a ‘Statutory Review’ of that decision.

And in another development, Islamist Tablighi Jammat failed in a last-ditch legal attempt to overturn Newham’s Council’s injunction against them continuing to use their Abbey Mills site as a mosque.

The new mayor of Newham is Labour's Rohksana Fiaz — The new mayor of Newham is Labour’s Rohksana Fiaz

Legally, Newham could now send in the bulldozers. But this decision will be taken by the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz. Miss Fiaz is of Pakistani Muslim heritage, but said to be socially liberal. One of her election promises was to ‘tax the value of development land to help our housing programme.’ That could impact the trustees of the Abbey Mills site.

Mosque group split

One option open to Tablighi Jammat is to put in a new planning application for mixed use. In the meantime they could remove the temporary mosque and stop using the site as a place of worship. They are reluctant to do the latter!

However, TJ have now split in two. The Indian/Bangladeshi half control the UK HQ in Dewsbury. The Pakistani half are running the illegal Abbey Mills mosque site. So it looks like our prayers for confusion among the Lord’s enemies have been answered beyond our expectations. Can the MM faction appeal now to the European Court of Human Rights? That appears to be their last resort to keep alive their dream of a megamosque in West Ham.

For the West Ham site, firstly, we shall pray TJ or what is left of it fail at the ECHR. Secondly, that Newham Council takes real enforcement action. Thirdly that a church is built on the site. While we are on the subject of big prayers, we’ll never stop praying for our nation to return to God. That means to keep his commandments and enter into the fullness of his blessings.

Our mission on site

We have been meeting for prayer at this site in West Ham every first Saturday in the month without fail since January 2007, until the Johnson regime’s ‘lockdown’ stopped us in April, May and December 2020 and the first third of 2021. We have now completed sixteen full years plus the other nine months of 2020 and eight in 2021. We brought up our 200th meeting in March 2024. February 2025 will be our 211th and we’re still counting!

We shall not stop until our nation repents and the site returns to the worship of the King of kings. We believe when we pray fervent prayers and do the simple things only we can do, we can rely on God to do the miraculous.

And that is what has happened. The West Ham mega-mosque has been under a curse ever since God’s people started praying. Why God uses our prayers and allows us to be part of his victory we shall never know. But we do know the Almighty has heard our prayers and dwelt in our praises. He has used the little things his people have done to his glory. Coming down to pray at the site itself in all weathers is certainly among those little things. It shows the Lord our prayer is serious!

So how has our Almighty King Jesus confounded the mega-mosque? Just look at the history:

The History

When we started praying in January 2007, the mosque trustees were confident their proposed ‘mega-mosque’ would be built ready for the London Olympic Games in 2012. We kept turning up, every first Saturday in every month. The Olympics came and went, and there was no mega-mosque. We have kept on praying.

Confusion reigned among the trustees, who went through three (we may have lost count) different firms of architects. They appointed and sacked public relations people and held a disaster of an ‘open day’. On the planning side they missed their deadlines and lost the support of Newham Council.

It took almost six years for them to place a planning application before Newham local councillors. The council duly refused it in December 2012. See the report in the London Evening Standard.

Injunction granted

The High Court then granted an injunction to Newham Council on 24th May 2013. This ordered the Trust, which had been using the old industrial buildings on the Riverine Centre (or Abbey Mills) site as a mosque, to clear the land of temporary buildings and cease religious activities there. We praise the Lord for that.

Meanwhile, the sect, known as Tablighi Jamaat, appealed against Newham’s refusal to grant them planning permission for the whole ‘mega-mosque’ project, according to the Standard’s later report. The appeal was heard as a public enquiry in June 2014 and the Secretary of State then ‘called in’ the decision. He refused the appeal in December 2015.

The sect went to law to seek ‘Statutory Review’ of the Government decision. In early May 2016 Mr Justice Ouseley said they had no grounds and refused them. They appealed that decision and lost in August. They are at the legal end of the road. But will the Council now take enforcement action before May this year? That is when the local elections take place. The elected members will not wish to upset Muslim voters before then. A lot could depend on who is selected and elected.

The Background

The Mosque would have been the size of Battersea Power Station, dominating the Abbey Mills area, according to the architect submitting the proposal. It would have accommodated 12,000 devotees, becoming by a factor of four the largest place of worship in Britain. Crucially, it would also have become the headquarters of Tablighi Jamaat.

The hardline Islamic group have been described by American security officials as a “recruiting ground for Al Qaeda”. French intelligence see them as an “antechamber of fundamentalism”.

It is by the grace of God that Newham Council, initially favourable to the mosque idea, are now determined to see the back of the group We also thank God for the decision of the Secretary of State and of the Courts.

Abbey Mills

But don’t forget, going back this was indeed a pre-reformation Christian settlement. The Abbey brothers spent time in prayer but also raised and grew all kinds of food. They operated flour mills and fed the surrounding people with grain and bread, with vegetables and meat from their livestock.

The temporary mosque (previously a chemical works) stands on a marshy part of the old abbey where the monks probably grazed their pigs. (Don’t tell Tablighi Jamaat.) It would have been suitable for little else. One website records that William de Montfichet, who gave land to the Cistercians to establish an abbey in 1135, also gave the monks the right to allow their pigs to graze and forage freely on his donated lands.

Names of streets like Abbey Lane, the Abbey Road DLR station and the nearby ‘Abbey Mills’ Victorian pumping house all testify to the Christian heritage of this ancient spiritual site. Even the notice on the gate of the temporary mosque says: ‘Riverine Centre Abbey Mills.’ Also look at this informative Newham Council document for more about the history of the area.

Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD (YHWH): that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

Makerfield: Reform UK or Restore Britain?

UK Christian Constitution

Stephen

28 May 2026

(Script of video below) With the tussle between the Reform UK and Restore Britain Parties out in the open at the Makerfield by-election, which one honours better our Christian heritage?

Is this just a spat between Reform’s Nigel Farage and ex-Reform Rupert Lowe, who started Restore Britain when he fell out with Nigel? Or has Mr Lowe grasped a true spiritual nettle? Let’s see.

Watch the video on YOUTUBE HERE. (Opens automatically in a new tab.) Or watch it on Rumble below:

‘Reverse Mass Immigration’

So Restore want to ‘End Political Islam’ and ‘Abolish Mass Postal Voting’. That needs doing. Reform say the same.

Restore have a policy section: ‘Reverse Mass Immigration’. On that page, under ‘Abolish the Asylum System’, Restore say: ‘Britain is a Christian nation and having an asylum system is a noble goal’. There’s no need to offer a hostage to fortune there.

The one does not follow from the other, except in simplistic leftist dogma. Grown-up theology on asylum is complicated. In any case we are talking more about migration, we might even say ‘invasion’, than ‘asylum’.

Where is Christianity?

I was surprised to find no mention of Christianity in Restore’s other sections, not even under ‘Restore Civil Liberties’ or ‘Restore a Pro-British Education System’. The latter failed to denounce antichristian LGBT propaganda in sex and relationships education.

The former had no mention of police arrests of Christian preachers. However, under ‘Restore Britain’s Social and Cultural Foundations’ we do find five mentions of ‘Christian’, all under teaching history in schools.

It claims: ‘British Christians now have a political party that represents their views and stands ready to act on them.’ Do we? I didn’t see it anywhere else to be honest.

They go on: ‘We are an historically Christian country, guided by Christian morality.’ Then there is some back-tracking: ‘A Restore Britain government would honour those moral traditions’, but ‘not for the purposes of religious instruction so much as historical literacy’ and ‘understanding our national story’.

Islamisation

The next section says Restore Britain would ban the burqa and the niqab, but only because they ‘are fundamentally un-British’ and ‘undignified’ (‘The dignity of women and girls must not be sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism’), not because they are advertising an aggressive, competing, antisemitic, antichristian religious and political system.

‘A Restore Britain government’ we read, ‘would reverse the Islamisation of Britain’. Much could be said there, but strangely isn’t.

The policy moves straight on to ritual slaughter.

Ritual Slaughter

Restore would ban, they say, both ‘Halal and Kosher Slaughter’. They say: ‘Slitting an animal’s throat and letting it bleed to death in the most unimaginable pain is morally repugnant.’

Number 1: Scripture says: Prov 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. In the light of that, is Mr Lowe seriously saying the Jewish people have indulged in animal cruelty for millennia?

Number 2: Although the Halal Monitoring Committee maintains a no-stunning policy, the rival Halal Food Authority allows the use of electrical pre-slaughter stunning. So Restore have not done their homework.

They even claim: ‘If a British farmer treated an animal in this way, he would be prosecuted. There must be one rule for all, with no religious exemptions.’

I agree with one rule for all. That’s scriptural: Exodus 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

But I am a farmer. And I can tell you slaughtering on the farm for public consumption is not allowed at all.

Antisemitism dialed up to eleven

So Number 3: Their policy would not eliminate Halal slaughter, but it would end Schechita, Jewish ritual slaughter.

Number 4: With all the antisemitism being heaped upon Britain’s Jews by the Islamo-left, (see our recent article Nakba vs Unite the Kingdom’) do they really need it dialed up to eleven from Restore Britain?

What Mr Lowe is missing is that halal slaughter is not an animal welfare issue. It’s a spiritual issue.

Halal slaughter is antichristian because of the Shahada (or ‘Tasmiyah’) chanted at the point of slaughter. Every animal slaughtered halal is sacrificed to Allah, the Muslim deity, in Christian Britain.

The rest of ‘the right’

OK. So what of the other two main parties of the political right? Reform say they also have ‘a desire to restore Britain’s Judeo-Christian heritage as a core pillar of British identity, culture, and national policy’.

And Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch also maintains that Britain is fundamentally a Christian nation, with laws, institutions, and values ‘deeply rooted in Christian heritage’. She wants this ‘cultural and moral foundation’ to ‘be actively promoted and protected’.

So there is not much to choose between them, in my humble opinion.

Assert our Christian constitution

His Majesty King Charles III kisses the Bible at his Coronation in May 2023

What we are waiting for is the political leader prepared to assert our Christian constitution, exemplified in the coronation of King Charles in Westminster Abbey on 6th May 2023. For that matter, of every king and queen of this nation for over a thousand years.

It’s more than claiming the odd policy is ‘Christian’. It’s about authority, about returning to our nation’s Christian roots, about breaking out of the doomed secularist loop of the past sixty years.

If you see that as well, then join us in praying for God to raise up an able, humble, truthful, honest leader (Exod 18:21) who will proclaim Jesus Christ as King of kings over this United Kingdom. When one of them starts to do that, we’ll be cooking on gas.

Now we’ll have a coherent reason to ban the burqa and niqab, end sharia courts, clear halal meat out of schools and prisons, stop the Muslim invasion, and to invite any Muslim, or secularist, who dislikes our Christian heritage to relocate somewhere more amenable to them.

God longs to honour a godly leader

Will the Almighty grant Nigel, Richard, Kemi, or someone else entirely, the grace and courage to honour him in that way?

The word of God says clearly: 1Sam 2:30b … them that honour me I will honour,

When that leader stands up with that declaration, he, or she, can expect God to honour them, and grant them both spiritual authority and electoral success. And that would also be someone to unite around.

Nanosermon Script:

Don’t you like it when someone remembers your birthday? We all love to be remembered. And if there’s old folks in your circle, be sure to remember them all the time. But look, how good is it when GOD remembers you? Did you know you can pray to ask God to remember you?

Jacob Astley was a Royalist commander in the English Civil War. Just before the battle of Edghill in sixteen forty-two, Astley knelt down and prayed: “O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not thou forget me.” I like that.

Nehemiah’s prayer

In the Bible, we find one Nehemiah organising the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple. Toward the end of his work, in the book of Nehemiah chapter thirteen, he prayed this prayer:

Nehemiah 13:14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.

And a few verses on he prayed:
Neh 13:31b Remember me, O my God, for good. (KJV)

And those are the last words of the book of Nehemiah. It’s a humble, lovely prayer, and an example for us. But we can pray with more assurance. In the psalms we find a prayer to the Almighty to remember his grace and mercy and to remember the psalmist, not now for his own good deeds, but for the goodness of God himself. Watch this, it’s in psalm twenty-five.

Psalm 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

The thief on the cross

There is just one person in the New Testament who asked the Lord Jesus to remember him. I wonder if you can bring to mind who it was? I’m sure you got it. It’s the thief on the cross. Jesus was crucified between two thieves. One flung a whole lot of rubbish at him, demanding that he save all three of them.

But the other was a God-fearing man, for all his misdeeds. The Gospel of Luke says, in chapter twenty-three:

Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Now here I’ll acknowledge Lawrence Tureaud, the actor Mr T. (Yes, he’s born again.) He’s pointed out a couple of things which we might all have missed.

Firstly, that man was the only one who called Jesus ‘Lord’ during his crucifixion. Yes, lots of people called Jesus ‘Lord’ during his ministry. Many addressed him as Lord after his resurrection. But only that man called him ‘Lord’ while he was being crucified.

Secondly, he said it was not a matter of ‘if’, but of ‘when’ our Lord would come into his kingdom. Pilate had put up his notice ‘King of the Jews’ but that thief on the cross knew the man dying beside him WOULD come into his kingdom. Only the Holy Spirit gives an insight like that to someone. And just look at the response:
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

You can pray like Nehemiah, for God to remember you for the good you have done. You can pray like the psalmist, for the Lord to remember you for the sake of his goodness. You can pray like Jacob Astley, for the Lord Jesus to remember you even if you forget him. Or you can pray with the thief: ‘Lord, remember me, in your kingdom.’

If you pray that kind of a prayer, with that kind of faith, Jesus will never forget you. Even if someone else forgets your birthday, he will still remember you, all the time.
Come on, pray with me: ‘Lord, remember me.’

Why Is Speaking English in England Now a Debate?

Islam & Immigration

Makeda

27 May 2026

Birmingham Lord Mayor Coun Zakar Choudhry addresses the chamber at the council meeting on Tuesday, May 19

Apparently, asking for council meetings in England to be conducted in English is now considered dangerously controversial. Welcome to modern Britain, where stating the obvious increasingly requires an apology tour.

Fresh from the local elections, Birmingham City Council’s new Reform UK councillors managed to trigger outrage after suggesting that official council proceedings should be held in a language residents can actually understand.

The row began during Birmingham’s annual mayor-making ceremony, after an imam delivered a 30-second Qur’an reading in Arabic before providing an English translation to those present. Reform councillors later wrote to the city’s newly appointed Lord Mayor, Zaker Choudhry, stating that: “Birmingham was a ‘diverse city made up of many different faiths and backgrounds’ but ‘official council meetings should remain inclusive and accessible to all residents regardless of religion or culture’ – and all readings and proceedings should be in English.

Exodus 20:3-5 Thou shalt have no other gods before me…Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth…Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

Defending the British Language”

New Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zaker Choudhry and his wife the Lady Mayoress Zubeda Rashid- BirminghamLive.

According to Birmingham Live, Reform group leader Jex Parkin said the party was simply defending “the language, culture and values of the United Kingdom” and insisted the comments were made respectfully and in good faith.

Mr. Parkin said: “It’s clear only the English language should be used in public meetings in this country. We will always advocate for this, on behalf of the residents that elected us to promote and protect the language, culture and values of the United Kingdom.

“We look forward to supporting the Lord Mayor in his new role, and trust this feedback will be accepted with the good faith in which it is offered. Clearly, many residents share our view.”

Naturally, this was treated as though someone had proposed banning vowels. Meanwhile, Labour councillor Majid Mahmood dismissed the concerns as “nonsense” and accused Reform of politicising what he described as a positive and unifying moment. Birmingham’s diversity, he argued, “should be celebrated, not questioned.”

Quite how asking for English in council meetings undermines diversity was left unexplained. Presumably, comprehension itself is now exclusionary. Which rather raises the uncomfortable question: if English translation was necessary for public understanding, then perhaps English remains useful after all.

The imam, Mohammed Abdali, claimed the Qur’anic verse “encouraged harmony, cooperation, and standing together against extremism and terrorism.” Which sounded unlikely.

In today’s civic culture, affirming multicultural symbolism matters far more than whether the public actually understands what is being said. England, it seems, is the only country where expecting public business to be conducted in the national language is treated as an act of cultural aggression.
1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

The Tolerance Test

Churches in Nigeria have faced continuous attacks in recent time.

One awkward question hangs over the entire Birmingham row: would this level of “inclusivity” be welcomed in the other direction?

Can anyone seriously imagine a Christian pastor opening a council meeting with a Bible reading inside Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar, Kuwait, Somalia or even Northern Nigeria without triggering outrage, arrests, or far worse? The answer, of course, is obvious.

In many Islamic countries, public expressions of Christianity remain heavily restricted, tightly monitored, or openly persecuted. Churches are attacked, Christians are arrested for “blasphemy”, and converts from Islam can face intimidation, imprisonment, or violence. Yet in Britain, merely suggesting that council meetings in England should primarily operate in English is treated as intolerant.

That is the peculiar imbalance modern Britain has created. Western societies are expected to endlessly accommodate, apologise, and adapt, while very few dare ask whether the same openness would ever be returned elsewhere.

Apparently, tolerance is now a one-way street and Britain is expected to keep traffic flowing no matter how absurd the destination becomes.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.

How Much More Before Britain Wakes Up?

At what point is Britain finally allowed to ask whether “diversity” is actually strengthening the country, as politicians and even King Charles claim, or slowly dismantling the values that built it?

Across parts of Britain, politicians and activists continue insisting that every cultural practice must be accepted, accommodated, and celebrated without question. Yet the same people become deeply offended the moment anyone asks whether integration is still supposed to matter.

In United Kingdom, women fought for generations to be treated equally in public life. Yet Britain now finds itself importing attitudes from cultures where women are still routinely segregated, pressured into religious dress codes, or treated differently from men in public and religious spaces. Recently, reports have emerged over the news of Muslim women being separated at certain public events or expected to follow customs rooted in Islamic conservatism, practices that would once have been condemned as openly sexist.

Meanwhile, Scotland recently elected politicians so absorbed in gender ideology that the Scottish Parliament could not even decide whether a biological man should be classified as male or female on official records.

English traditions are questioned, Christianity is pushed quietly aside, and ordinary people are told to remain silent lest they appear “intolerant”.

Britain was once confident enough to expect newcomers to integrate into its culture, laws, and customs. Today, the political class seems far more interested in teaching Britain to adapt to everyone else instead.

Illegal migrants charged with child sex offences

Islam & Immigration

Makeda

27 May 2026

More than 700 migrants arrived in UK in 11 boats in a single day, new figures show | UK News | Sky News

Seven Afghan nationals who entered Britain by small boat and lorry have been charged with rape and child sexual abuse offences. This follows an investigation into alleged group-based child exploitation in Norwich.

According to the Crown Prosecution Service, the offences were allegedly committed between August 2023 and May last year. The seven men face a combined total of 40 charges.

Those charged are Jamil Khalil, 20, Ahmadin Ahmadzai, 21, Qais Kaker, 20, Fazal Auryakhel, 20, Mohammed Farooq Sinwary, 23, Ali Ahamad, 21, and Sayed Wahid Davdzai, 20. The CPS confirmed that all entered the UK either by small boat or lorry and currently hold refugee status.

Police carried out raids at seven addresses, six in Norwich and one in Dumbarton, Scotland. All seven appeared before Norwich Magistrates’ Court and were remanded in custody ahead of a plea hearing at Norwich Crown Court on June 19.

For years, the British public has been told that concerns surrounding illegal migration and safeguarding were exaggerated, insensitive, or somehow beyond discussion. Yet another major child exploitation investigation involving recently arrived migrants now sits before the courts while ministers continue assuring the country that border control remains “robust”.

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Police Promise “Protection” After Public Shock

Norfolk Constabulary said: “None of the suspects charged with the above offences have lived at asylum hotels in Norfolk, and none of the offending in these offences happened in asylum hotels.”

Detective Superintendent Stacey Murray said the force’s priority remained the “safety and wellbeing” of the victims. She confirmed that a dedicated team was continuing to examine “every available line of inquiry” while supporting those involved in the case.

Supt Craig Miller acknowledged the case would be “shocking to our communities” and said police would do “everything possible to protect children from abuse and exploitation”.

“This type of case is very upsetting, and I want people living and working in Norwich, as well as the wider communities of Norfolk, to know that we will do everything possible to protect children from abuse and exploitation,she added.

Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Child Migrants” Who Turn Out to Be Adults

Ten migrants initially treated as children and set to be placed into foster care were later discovered to be adults, adding further pressure to Britain’s already overwhelmed asylum system.

The cases emerged amid growing concerns over age assessment failures, particularly involving Channel migrants claiming to be under 18. Under current asylum rules, being classified as a child can significantly improve access to housing, support, and protection from removal.

The situation has left many wondering exactly how Britain reached the point where fully grown men can arrive illegally, claim to be school-age children, and potentially be placed alongside vulnerable children while authorities debate whether visible adulthood is merely a “lived experience”.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Reverse Ageing

Kent County Council took in 2,656 child migrants during 2025 alone as increasing numbers of asylum seekers claimed to be minors upon arrival in Britain.

GB News previously reported that thousands of migrants have allegedly lied about their age because asylum claims are often treated more favourably when applicants are classified as children.

In one extraordinary case, a Sudanese migrant described by Liverpool City Council officials as not presenting “as a teenager” was nevertheless ruled to be a minor by Upper Tribunal Judge Paul Lodato. Officials had assessed the man, identified only as ASB, as being between 23 and 25 years old after two separate evaluations.

Another Syrian migrant with a “deep voice”, “stubble”, “grey hair”, and a “receding hairline” was legally accepted as a 16-year-old despite Derby City Council estimating his age at between 24 and 26. The court was told that “genetics”, exposure to hardship, and “traumatic life experiences” could explain why a supposed teenager looked like he was approaching middle age.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.

“Women and Children”, Apparently

Last year, Treasury Minister Darren Jones claimed the “majority” of asylum seekers arriving illegally were “children, babies and women”, comments which later triggered widespread criticism.

Jones later clarified his remarks, stating: “Of course, the overall majority of people arriving illegally on small boats are men — but not ‘north of 90 per cent’ as Reform claimed.”

He explained that his original comments referred to a particular dinghy carrying women, children, and babies who had suffered burns during the crossing. According to Jones, his remarks had been “misrepresented”.

The difficulty for ministers is that the public can still see the photographs arriving daily from Dover. When politicians insist the crisis is largely made up of vulnerable families while the overwhelming visual reality consists of young adult males, trust begins to erode very quickly.

Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

The Numbers Tell Their Own Story

Home Office figures show that since January 2018, around 75 per cent of small boat arrivals have been adult males aged 18 and over.

Nearly 1,000 migrants crossed the English Channel during the recent Bank Holiday weekend as warm weather conditions continued across Europe.

Despite repeated controversies surrounding disputed ages and safeguarding concerns, the Home Office insists that “the safety and wellbeing of children in care is paramount” and says “robust processes” are already in place to assess age claims.

Officials also confirmed plans to expand the use of Facial Age Estimation technology in future assessments. Britain has therefore reached the rather astonishing stage where artificial intelligence may soon be required to determine what previous generations managed through eyesight alone.

Why Bridget Backed Reality on Trans Guidance Now

Makeda

22 May 2026

Bridget Phillipson has finally approved new government guidance confirming that sex is biological under the Equality Act 2010. This comes after more than a year of dithering, “consultations” and apparent confusion over what a woman is.

The Women and Equalities Minister, apparently having snapped back to reality, said the ruling had “made it clear that sex means biological sex” under the Equality Act, and that “trans people remain protected under gender reassignment provisions, but a Gender Recognition Certificate does not alter someone’s biological sex for the purposes of the Act.”

Ms. Phillipson even declined to release the guidance during the recently concluded local elections, reportedly claiming it could influence voting. Labour lost heavily anyway, so the delay appears to have achieved little beyond prolonging the confusion.

The updated Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) guidance follows the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in April 2025, which confirmed that the words “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex. The 300-page code, covering protected characteristics including age, sex, disability, race and gender reassignment, has been updated in full for the first time since 2011.

It advises organisations to apply the law to single-sex spaces. Under the guidance, hospitals are permitted to provide female-only wards based on biological sex “for women patients to protect their safety, privacy and dignity”.

If they do, it has to be on the basis of the sex that patients were assigned at birth. “trans” patients would be placed on a ward based on the sex they were born as, rather than the gender with which they identify, while public services are instructed to apply single-sex provisions accordingly.

Stop transgenderism now! →

A Long Wait for the Obvious

The truly remarkable part is not the guidance itself, but how long it took Labour to approve it. The EHRC reportedly submitted the draft guidance to ministers in September 2025. From there, it appears to have disappeared into the same hole where inconvenient biological facts often go to die.

Ms Phillipson eventually emerged to announce, with all the enthusiasm of someone reading out a parking fine, that she had “approved the draft code”. Apparently, this required extraordinary political courage. After all, this is the same Labour Party that spent years insisting men could become women through paperwork, self-identification or sufficient levels of activist intimidation. One almost sympathises with ministers. Reversing course after years of ideological theatre cannot be easy.

In 2024, she suggested that trans-identifying men with male anatomy should be able to use female toilets under Labour’s approach. Later, she defended the use of “Mx” titles for non-binary teachers before quietly rowing back.

The timing, however, is difficult to ignore. Bridget is widely regarded as a close ally of Sir Keir Starmer, who is currently attempting to steady a deeply bruised Labour Party following disastrous local election results and growing speculation about his leadership.

Support NCCSS / Christian Voice →

The Timing

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester, claims Salman Abedi is not a Muslim. — Andy Burnham, currently Mayor of Manchester, is now standing in Makerfield.

Conveniently, the guidance now lands just as political attention turns towards Andy Burnham and the Makerfield by-election. Andy Burnham’s previous comments on gender ideology are well documented. In 2022, he stated that biological men identifying as women should be allowed to use female toilets and described support for genuinely single-sex spaces as a “minority view”. In unearthed footage obtained by the Daily Mail, Mr Burnham also said the idea that single-sex spaces should be exclusive to biological women was a “minority view”. Those remarks were made before the Supreme Court ruling demolished much of the legal foundation underpinning activist gender politics.

Now Mr Burnham’s opponents have fresh ammunition. Suddenly, Labour politicians who once treated biology as an offensive social construct are being forced to defend old statements against newly published government guidance saying the exact opposite.

What extraordinary timing. Westminster remains the only place where political backstabbing can masquerade as administrative procedure.

“Keir Was Daft”

National Director, Stephen Green Urges Action Against Men Hijacking Women’s Day — Stephen Green Urges Action Against Men Hijacking Women’s Day

Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, said today: “I suspect there is more to the timing of the new guidance than Bridget Phillipson simply having been shamed into issuing it after dragging her feet for a year and a month after the Supreme Court judgment in April 2025 that sex is biological, rather than ‘chosen’ or ‘assigned’, and eight months after the EHRC presented it to her in September 2025.

“Ms Phillipson is known to be an ally of Keir Starmer. And whatever he says in public, I suggest Sir Keir does not want to be remembered as the shortest-serving Labour prime minister. If that is correct, he would rather Labour lose the Makerfield by-election than win it, with him then being ousted as Labour leader by Andy Burnham later this year.

“The newly published guidance gives Mr Burnham’s by-election opponents extra ammunition to draw attention to his previous pro-trans silliness. Keir was daft as well, three years ago, implying that 0.1% of women have male anatomy. But this by-election is not about electing Keir, it’s about electing Andy. And that is what Keir Starmer does not want. We should never underestimate the capacity of politicians to stab each other in the back.”

Keir Starmer’s ‘Evolving’ Position

The BBC reminds us that ‘In March 2022, when he was leader of the opposition, Sir Keir told The Times that “a woman is a female adult, and in addition to that transwomen are women, and that is not just my view – that is actually the law”. “But it turned out, it wasn’t.” In April 2025, after the Supreme Court judgment, “Asked if Sir Keir still believed that a transgender woman was a woman, the PM’s official spokesman said:

“No, the Supreme Court judgment has made clear that when looking at the Equality Act, a woman is a biological woman … That is set out clearly by the court judgment”.

The BBC continued: ‘In 2023, Sir Keir told The Sunday Times that for “99.9%” of women “of course they haven’t got a penis”.’ Which meant that 0.1%, or one in a thousand, had. But to have male genitalia, it is necessary to have XY chromosomes, which makes that person a man, not a woman.

Not Momentum, But Endurance

There’s a growing sense that Keir Starmer’s premiership has entered a defining phase, not of momentum, but of endurance. The shortest-serving Labour prime minister in modern history was Gordon Brown, who lasted 2 years and 318 days in office.

On 4 July 2026, Keir Starmer will reach the two-year mark in Downing Street. That leaves him needing to survive until June 2027 to avoid slipping into the history books as Labour’s shortest-serving modern prime minister.

The political significance is not just about dates — it is about stability, authority and public confidence. When a government reaches the point where its leadership is being measured against survival milestones rather than achievement, it signals deeper questions about direction and durability.

In simple terms, the benchmark is now set: match or exceed Gordon Brown’s time in office or risk being remembered as another short chapter in this government’s turbulent leadership history.

Don’t Ask Questions

A group of nurses from County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust (CDDFT) have lodged an employment tribunal case for sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.

Yet even within the new guidance, the contradictions remain. While organisations are told to apply single-sex rules based on biological sex, staff are also advised that it may not be “practical or appropriate” to challenge individuals suspected of using the wrong facilities.

Businesses are expected to maintain women-only spaces while simultaneously avoiding awkward questions about who is entering them. Public bodies are encouraged to provide gender-neutral alternatives, but not necessarily to confront obvious breaches of single-sex provisions directly.

Across Britain, hospitals have continued to allow “trans-identifying” biological males to use women-only spaces such as wards, changing rooms and lavatories. Nurses like those from Darlington have been forced to fight expensive legal battles to ensure access to single-sex changing rooms. A mother in Yorkshire had to sue her daughter’s all-girls school after it “secretly” admitted a boy who identified as female.

It is welcome that the newly published guidance will mean that “trans women” can be barred from female toilets, changing facilities and sports teams. But this must be little comfort to the women who, over the past 12 months, have suffered fear and indignity after being denied single-sex spaces.

A Culture Finally Hitting the Wall

What makes this moment politically significant is not merely the publication of guidance. It is the wider collapse of a cultural consensus that dominated British institutions for years.

The activist language surrounding “gender identity”, “chosen sex” and “assigned at birth” once moved effortlessly through government departments, schools, hospitals, universities and corporate HR offices. Anyone questioning it risked professional or social punishment. Now ministers who previously embraced those ideas are hurriedly rediscovering biology after the courts intervened.

The deeper question is why it required a Supreme Court judgment, years of legal battles and mounting public anger for the Government to acknowledge something most people understood long before Westminster did.

For all the triumphant language surrounding this guidance, many women will reasonably ask why they were forced to wait so long for protections that should never have been controversial in the first place.

Over The Pond

At the same time Britain cautiously rediscovers biological reality, parts of the West continue accelerating in the opposite direction. In Colorado, the state Supreme Court recently restored gender-transition treatments for minors despite mounting international concern over irreversible medical interventions involving children.

The Colorado Supreme Court voted 5-2 on Monday to temporarily restore “gender transitions” for minors at Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC), rebuffing the Trump administration’s threats to cut off federal funds to medical institutions that subject children to life-altering and potentially irreversible procedures.

In January 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring federal healthcare dollars to any medical institution involved in transitioning minors. But according to a Daily Caller report published that March, CHC was one of more than 30 hospitals defying the order.

This past January, CHC finally suspended all such treatments after a review by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) finding so-called “gender-affirming care” to be “neither safe nor effective”, prompting lawsuits from LGBT activists and like-minded state attorneys general.

Colorado Passes Bill on Abortion Pills on College Campuses

The Colorado legislature has sent to Democrat Gov. Jared Polis legislation that would mandate that universities in the state offer abortion pills, regardless of whether they are public or private institutions.

HB26-1335 requires any higher educational institution with a student health centre or pharmacy to distribute abortion “medication” onsite and requires any that does not to “either submit a prescription for abortion medication to a pharmacy located off campus or dispense abortion medication through the institution’s student health centre if permitted by the student health centre’s licensure.”

The bill exempts schools with conflicting “bona fide religious beliefs or practices” (potentially leaving open the danger of the state deciding for itself what it does and does not consider religious enough to qualify) but explicitly applies to private institutions as well as those operated or funded by the state, a significant expansion of presumed government authority.

Nakba vs Unite the Kingdom. Which did Starmer denounce?

UK Christian Constitution

Stephen

21 May 2026

Unite the Kingdom 1 — Unite the Kingdom Rally

I was in London last Saturday as two rival marches took to the streets. The pro-Arab ‘Nakba’ march competed for media and political attention with ‘Unite The Kingdom’ and its support for our Christian heritage. The organisers of the former actually declared it a ‘March for Palestine – United against Tommy Robinson & the far right.’ The Unite the Kingdom people were unconcerned with the Nakba march, except as a symptom of the failure of multiculturalism. Their target was the UK’s political elite.

The Nakba March

Deciding to walk from Paddington Station to Parliament Square, by the grace of God I came across the antisemitic ‘Nakba’ gathering in Exhibition Road, London SW7, before it set off via Marble Arch for Pall Mall. Placards, some of which bore the imprint of the far-left Socialist Workers Party or its subsidiary ‘Stand up to Racism’, said ‘Smash the Far Right’, ‘Oppose Tommy Robinson – Stop Fascists & the Far Right’, ‘Women Against the Far Right – Reject Racism – Refugees are not to blame,’ ‘STOP Islamophobia, STOP the Far Right’, with Tommy Robinson’s face in ‘STOP’ where the ‘O’ should be,’ and ‘Unite Against the Far Right & Reform’.

So much for the hatred of opponents found in routine leftism. The pro-Muslim ingredient had in addition: ‘Freedom for Palestine’, ‘End the Siege’, and inevitably,‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free – Back the Resistance’.

Plainly they do not mean the Holy Land should be free of Islam, Hamas or the equally-corrupt ‘Palestinian Authority’. They mean the whole land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea should be purged of Jews.

The ‘Nakba’ 78

‘Nakba’ is Arabic for ‘Catastrophe’ and this is the 78th year since it is said to have happened in 1948. In this context, the ‘Palestine Solidarity Campaign’ explains it was the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Arabs (or ‘Palestinians’). They say: ‘Between 1947-1949, Zionist militias instigated a campaign of ethnic cleansing across historic Palestine’. Well, firstly, it was across historic Israel, given to the descendants of Jacob by God himself. To take just one verse out of dozens referring to God’s promise of ‘The Promised Land’:

Deut 11:31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

So Israel are not ‘occupiers’, for the land was given them by God himself.

The 1948 war

Secondly, what the Palestine Solidarity Campaign forget to tell you is why the displacement happened. A civil war began in 1947 just before the British Mandate for the Holy Land was due to expire. Arab militias and mobs attacked Jewish areas as a reaction to a UN Partition Plan. The British withdrew, and Zionist forces launched a counter-offensive in April 1948, conquering and depopulating town and villages.

Israel Declared Independence on 14th May 1948 as the Mandate expired. The following morning, Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon launched an invasion into the Holy Land, taking control of Arab areas and attacking Israeli forces and settlements. After 10 months of fighting, the Israelis were victorious and regained the land. Soon after, Transjordan annexed East Jerusalem and what became known as the West Bank. Israel would not recapture Judea and Samaria (the ‘West Bank’) until 1967.

Expulsions happen in war, but we are never told that a similar number of Jews fled from or were expelled by the surrounding Arab states in the three years following the war. Some quarter of a million relocated in Israel.

Unite the Kingdom

It is a good walk from Knightsbridge to Parliament Square, but I was greeted by a sea of flags, of which the Union flag, St George’s Cross and the sun and lion of Persia (or Iran) were the most prominent. The Nakba crowd included apologists for the Ayatollahs currently in control of Iran. In contrast, Iranian ex-pats, genuine refugees from terror and supporters of the Shah in exile were welcomed by Tommy Robinson’s supporters.

I felt a spirit of antisemitism and antichrist at the Nakba march. There was nothing like that in Parliament Square last Saturday. They were overwhelmingly a working-class gathering, determined but good-natured, with a large contingent of men who, if two other football teams had made it, might have been found supporting them at Wembley for that afternoon’s FA Cup Final.

Instead, they brought their knack of inventing chants along to the rally, exploiting any lull in proceedings by singing ‘Keir Starmer is a w—–.’ Journalist Will Jones, writing in Daily Sceptic, reported Jonathan Sacerdoti’s comments in the Spectator. I can vouch for the accuracy of this excerpt:

‘Perhaps the strangest thing about the Unite the Kingdom rally was just how unremarkable it felt. There were no mass chants calling for the death of particular groups, no calls for the eradication of foreign countries and no flags of terrorist groups or tyrannical theocracies waved in the crowd. Nobody cited scripture to urge the slaughter of another people, nobody waved terrorist symbols and nobody I saw during the entire day covered their face.’

Christian evangelism

Pastor Rikki Doolan preaches at Unite the Kingdom

Last year, in prison, Tommy Robinson accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. There had been a Christian atmosphere at the Unite the Kingdom rally last year. It isn’t hard to find when our flags have the cross of Christ on them.

This year, the Christian message was even more explicit, with evangelism from Pastor Rikki Doolan, Tommy himself and a young black woman who gave an impassioned speech. The crowd did not object, but as with anywhere today, I sensed it will take a mighty move of the Holy Spirit before the Christian faith becomes a reality in every heart present. For what lies ahead, they will need the power of the Spirit, that’s for sure. The Bible says:

Psa 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

Bishop Anderson Jeremiah at a 'Listening Table' — Bishop Anderson Jeremiah at a ‘Listening Table’

We should pray that work of the Lord includes him raising up able, humble, honest, truthful men of God to lead us, and telling us what we need to do to bring them into power in this land.

It is very clear the established church does not understand ‘Unite the Kingdom’ at all, or possibly ascension theology, where Jesus really is King of kings, despite Ascension Day itself falling two days before the rally. I have argued before that Ascension is ‘The Feast the Church forgot’. Church Times reported both the Bishop of Edmonton, Dr Anderson Jeremiah, and ultra-liberal Baptist minister Sally Mann setting up ‘Listening Tables’ near the rally, in order to ‘listen and to hear their pain’ and preach ‘a way of love and welcome, not division and fear’. The Trojans welcomed the gift of a horse from the Greeks in mythology, as I recall.

Which march did Keir Starmer denounce?

Now, out of the two marches, the one celebrating Britain’s Christian heritage, the other bonding communists and Islamists together over murderous antisemitism, which one do you imagine Keir Starmer supported?

Which one was it that Keir Starmer specifically attacked in a social media video, calling its organizers ‘convicted thugs and racists, peddling hatred and division, plain and simple’?

It was ‘Unite the Kingdom’, of course. Sir Keir knows that Reform are breathing down the Labour neck, no less than Makerfield of by-election fame. But personally, he is more concerned about what Labour MPs think of him.

Hence his appeal to the leftist heart rather than to the betrayed working class, speaking of United the Kingdom people like this: ‘Their goal is to convince people that Britain’s problems are caused by those living alongside them but that is not the Britain that I know,’ Starmer said. Well, my impression is that the ‘Uniters’, and millions like them, don’t need much convincing to realise that Britain’s problems have been caused by the elite, by people like him.

Separate ghettos

As for his ‘those living alongside them’ jibe, he needs to spend more time venturing out in the United Kingdom rather than jetting off to mix with his WEF friends. In the Northern cities he will find Muslims, singled out by Unite the Kingdom speakers, do not actually ‘live alongside’ British people. They have formed their own ghettos, where English, if spoken at all, is very much a second language.

Residents in Crowborough object to migrants housed next door to them.

Meanwhile, in somewhere like Crowborough, or around the Bell Hotel in Epping, he will indeed discover small boat migrants living ‘alongside’ residents, who are now terrified of crime including sexual attacks on their women and girls.

In Daily Sceptic, Will Jones ventured that Keir Starmer ‘Condemned the Wrong Rally’. He did, in the courts of heaven, but if his target audience was his own MPs, he maybe thought it was worth alienating working-class Britons if he clings onto his office of Prime Minster for just a little longer.

Attention from overseas

US Vice-President J D Vance tells Europe's self-satisfied elite some home truths. — US Vice-President J D Vance tells Europe’s self-satisfied elite some home truths.

The government blocked 11 foreign nationals described by Keir Starmer as “far-right agitators” from entering the UK ahead of the march.

From the United States, J D Vance supported the Tommy Robinson rally. ITV News reported the US Vice-President saying it is “OK to defend your culture”. The Republican said it was reasonable for people ‘to want to control who comes into their country’ and urged them to ‘keep on going’.

Last year, on Fox News’ Ingraham Angle, Vice-President Vance remarked that ‘Europe is at risk of engaging in civilizational suicide.’ ‘They are unable or unwilling to control their borders…You see them starting to limit the free speech of their own citizens,’ Vance noted. Hungarians were pleased he highlighted Hungary as one of the few bright spots on the continent—refusing to follow Western European countries down a destructive path.

The number of those attending the United Kingdom rally was estimated by the police to be about 60,000. It could have been more, but according to the Guardian, ‘campaign group Hope Not Hate nevertheless said the scale of Robinson’s movement remained “deeply worrying”.’ The elite, the Islamo-left and the multiculturalists should be worried that their time is coming to an end. All the same, they would be better off repenting and following the incarnate, crucified, risen, ascended, glorified Lord Jesus, the King of kings and great Sovereign over our land, to whom even king Charles himself and all his ministers must kneel.

Isa 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Nanosermon on Psalm 119: O that my ways!

Watch this nanosermon here:

Nanosermon Script:

Come with me to Psalm one hundred and nineteen, and verse five:

Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

So far in this great psalm we have seen what Charles Spurgeon described as a ‘double blessing’ in the first two verses. Firstly a blessing from being undefiled by sin, walking day by day in his law. Secondly a blessing from when God is such a living reality to you that you keep his commands and seek him wholeheartedly.

Then we saw in verse three that those who are doing that, as well as being blessed and blessed again have their heart so changed that they just will not do iniquity and instinctively walk in his ways. Then in verse four we saw that God commands us to keep his precepts diligently, not carelessly. In case you were worried about getting ‘legalistic’, I assured you that no-one was ever excluded from heaven by keeping God’s commandments too ‘diligently’.

Look at yourself

Now watch this. The first three verses are in the third person plural – ‘they’. These statements of eternal truths are somewhat at ‘arm’s length’. The object of the fourth verse is indeterminate. It actually goes ‘Thou hast commanded to keep thy precepts diligently’. The eminent translators of the King James Version put ‘us’ in to help it make better sense. But now, in verse five, the psalmist looks straight at himself:

Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

He has written down statements of blessing and of a complete change of attitude which come to those who keep God’s instruction, his ‘Torah’ in the Hebrew. He has recorded a command to do that diligently.

And now, suddenly, the psalmist is gripped by the realisation that he has fallen short. You may be in the same place, and if you are, it’s not a bad place to be. Someone has said the closer you get to God the more you realise how far away you are.

Keep God’s Statutes!

But look, what now? Well, the psalmist isn’t throwing his hands up in surrender, saying, ‘I just can’t do it’. He’s not thinking that somehow his Messiah or ‘that Prophet’ will sort of do God’s laws on his behalf so he won’t have to observe them himself. He is not content with his sin and being defeatist, he’s humble and determined to keep God’s statutes from now on.

He knows that God has commanded obedience and will be content with nothing less. He sees the benefit of doing things God’s way. He knows the double blessing that will be his and the change of heart. And he wants all of that with every fibre of his being. So do I. And so must you.

Charles Spurgeon said about this verse: ‘Our ways are by nature opposed to the way of God, and must be turned by the Lord’s direction … or they will lead us down to destruction. It were well if all who hear and read the word would copy this example and turn all that they hear into prayer. We should have more keepers of the statutes if we had more who sighed and cried after the grace to do so.’

That double blessing from God Almighty will be your portion, you’ll be free from iniquity, you’ll have the psalmist’s diligence, so long as you are praying, crying out in anguish, as he did, for your ways to be directed to keep God’s statutes.

Holyrood Solves the Gender Debate by Removing Gender Altogether

Makeda

20 May 2026

Scottish Parliament removes MSPs' gender data after trans row

The Scottish Parliament has responded to controversy over how two “trans-identifying” Green MSPs were classified on its website with a bold solution: removing references to sex altogether. Until this week, voters could search for MSPs by party, region, and whether they were male or female. Apparently, even that proved too controversial for modern Scotland.

The dispute emerged after the election of Q Manivannan, who identifies as “non-binary”, and Iris Duane, a biological male who identifies as a “woman”. Holyrood first attempted to solve the problem by adding a “non-binary” category while listing Mr. Duane as female, despite the Supreme Court ruling that sex under the Equality Act refers to biological sex. Rather than clarify matters after the ruling, Parliament authorities simply removed the gender search feature entirely. Problem solved.

The episode perfectly captures the institutional paralysis created by gender ideology. Public bodies are now so terrified of stating biological facts that even identifying elected representatives as male or female has become administratively hazardous. Women’s visibility disappears, language becomes meaningless, and basic reality is treated as offensive — all in the name of inclusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.

“A Legacy System”

A Scottish Parliament spokesman said: “As part of the Inclusive Parliament Review, our systems and processes are currently under review. The online filter function on our website is a legacy system and we have taken steps to remove it.

“The review will also consider what personal information on Members we need to publish and in what format.”

Meanwhile, Susan Smith, co-director of For Women Scotland, which successfully challenged the Scottish Government at the Supreme Court condemned the move. She said: “It’s outrageous that the Scottish Parliament thinks there is something progressive about erasing women’s participation in public life.

“Women count, so must be counted, and if women are to be visible in politics, it’s essential that accurate data is collected.”

The decision has also sparked political backlash at Holyrood. Two female Conservative MSPs have reportedly written to Parliament’s Presiding Officer demanding clarification over why the website changes were introduced and whether the removal of sex-based data will now be reversed.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image… male and female created he them.

“Undermining the Visibility of Women’s Representation

In a letter to the Presiding Officer, Kenny Gibson, Rachael Hamilton and Meghan Gallacher said: “The removal of female as a distinct category risks undermining the visibility of women’s representation in public life and makes it more difficult to accurately assess progress relating to female participation within Scottish politics.

“At a time when there is ongoing discussion around the importance of sex-based data and representation, we believe the Scottish Parliament should lead by example in ensuring that women are not erased or obscured within official systems and reporting mechanisms.”

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.

From Student Visa to Scottish Powerbroker

How Q Manivannan became an MSP despite having a temporary visa

As Christian Voice previously reported, the election of Q Manivannan answered a question nobody in Scotland had apparently thought to ask before: how exactly does someone on a temporary student visa end up helping shape the laws of the country? In modern Holyrood, it seems temporary residency is no obstacle to permanent political ambition.

Mr. Manivannan’s rise became possible after Scotland loosened election rules in 2020 to allow more foreign nationals legally residing in the country to stand for Parliament. Supporters praised the reforms as “inclusive”. Ordinary voters may be forgiven for assuming elected lawmakers would at least have long-term constitutional ties to the nation they hope to govern. Clearly, that assumption is now terribly outdated.

The MSP has reportedly spoken about remaining in Britain through future graduate and Global Talent visa routes while continuing a political career. It is an extraordinary snapshot of modern politics: immigration status appears flexible, biological reality is negotiable, and raising perfectly reasonable public concerns is treated as the real scandal. Apparently, today’s political establishment finds questions more offensive than absurdity itself.

Why Labour’s ‘Conversion Therapy’ Ban is ‘Plain Evil’

Makeda

19 May 2026

The Labour government has revived plans for a so-called “conversion practices” ban, presenting it as a measure to protect “LGBT” individuals from “harmful treatment”. The proposal was briefly referenced in last Wednesday’s King’s Speech, where it appeared almost as an afterthought at the end of a sentence concerning the protection of residents living in “unsafe cladded buildings”.

However, the phrase “conversion therapy” is deeply misleading. Many people associate the term with abusive practices such as electric shocks or forced medical procedures, even though such acts have long been illegal under existing UK law.

The proposed legislation is increasingly focused on children experiencing gender confusion and on limiting the ability of parents, teachers and counsellors to question or challenge a child’s claimed gender identity. It means that parents objecting to chest binders, teachers refusing preferred pronouns, or therapists asking difficult questions could face accusations of engaging in “conversion practices”. Campaigners supporting the bill frequently use terms such as “bodily autonomy” and “affirmation”, portraying disagreement or caution as harmful or discriminatory.

For Christians, prayer, pastoral care, and voluntary counselling are part of religious freedom and personal choice. Criminalising those conversations would represent a serious attack on biblical teaching and freedom of belief. At the same time, pressuring therapists to affirm children on a path towards social or medical transition without proper safeguarding raises profound moral concerns.

Christian Voice national president Stephen Green described the proposals as “plain evil as well as an attack on God’s creation”. This is not safeguarding. It is ideological pressure placed on children at a stage of life when they are still developing emotionally and mentally.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image… male and female created he them.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go.

What Happened to Baroness Cass’s Warnings?

Dr. Hillary Cass, British honorary physician in paediatrics.

The findings of Baroness Hilary Cass were supposed to mark a turning point in Britain’s approach to children experiencing gender distress. The Cass Review raised serious concerns about the lack of evidence behind youth gender treatments, criticised the “affirmation-only” culture that had developed within parts of the NHS, and warned that vulnerable children were being failed by a system driven more by ideology than careful clinical assessment.

Yet despite those warnings, many public institutions continue to push gender ideology with little sign of caution. NHS trusts, schools, councils, and public bodies across Britain are still promoting policies based on “self-identification”, while concerns surrounding safeguarding, parental rights, and biological reality are increasingly dismissed as controversial.

children experiencing confusion or distress require careful support, stability, and honest guidance. Instead, the political climate increasingly encourages immediate affirmation of “gender identity” without properly exploring emotional, psychological, social, or developmental factors.

Meanwhile, questions are also growing over why the Government has still not fully approved updated guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission following the Supreme Court ruling that sex in law refers to biological sex.

Stop transgenderism now! →

“Ban Would Do Untold Harm”

As Bev Jackson noted on Spiked Online, “the case of psychiatrist Az Hakeem exposed how quickly professional concern can be reframed as wrongdoing. Dr Hakeem faced a complaint after asking a female patient why she identified as male during therapy sessions. Although the complaint was eventually dismissed, the message sent to professionals was unmistakable: questioning gender identity carries risk.”

The likely consequence is that many therapists will simply stop exploring underlying causes altogether. Fear of accusations, investigations, or legal consequences discourages honest clinical discussion and replaces it with automatic affirmation.

Parents are increasingly finding themselves in the same position. Families who hesitate over social transition or medical intervention can now be portrayed as “unsupportive” rather than cautious. Labour’s proposed ban will intensify this climate further, leaving adults too afraid to speak honestly with vulnerable children about identity, mental health, safeguarding, or biological reality.

“We at LGB Alliance take the view not only that no new legislation is necessary, but also that the proposed ban would do untold harm to ‘gender-non-conforming’ children and young people – most of whom would simply grow up to be gay, lesbian or bisexual if not sterilised in a futile attempt to change sex. Or, as we call it, ‘transing away the gay’,” Bev Jackson wrote.

Britain Ignores International Warnings

Countries including Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, and Denmark have reassessed aspects of youth gender medicine following growing concern over puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible medical interventions involving minors. Serious questions are being asked internationally about whether vulnerable children were pushed too quickly towards transition pathways.

Yet Britain continues moving deeper into ideological affirmation. Instead of slowing down and examining the evidence carefully, political pressure is increasingly directed at silencing caution and criminalising disagreement.

Children deserve protection from irreversible decisions made during periods of confusion, distress, or social influence. Laws that discourage questioning do not protect vulnerable young people; they leave them exposed to greater risk.

A nation that loses confidence in truth will eventually lose confidence in safeguarding itself. Britain does not need more confusion dressed up as progress. It needs wisdom, courage, and leadership grounded in truth.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Why Are Children Being Told Black People Cannot Be Racist?

Education & Children

Makeda

18 May 2026

Primary schoolchildren told to be mindful of their ‘white privilege’ under education ‘anti-racism’ drive

Schools in Sheffield are facing criticism after anti-racism teaching materials told children that “black people cannot be racist towards white people because racism is linked to cultural power.” The resources were produced by a teaching alliance led by Notre Dame High School and are aimed at children from primary to secondary school age.

The lesson plans introduce topics including “white privilege”, discrimination, and racial inequality. The schools involved said the materials were “designed to help teachers and pupils discuss race and social justice”.

It is concerning how quickly some schools appear willing to introduce politically charged or contested ideas to children. Traditionally, schools have aimed to bring pupils together from different backgrounds, encouraging fairness, mutual respect, and equal treatment without assigning identity or responsibility based on race.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek… for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Support NCCSS / Christian Voice →

The lesson

In lessons aimed at children aged seven to 11, pupils are encouraged to discuss “anti-racist actions”, including challenging language and behaviour considered discriminatory. The material also states that people regarded as privileged have a responsibility to help reduce racism.

For older pupils aged 14 to 16, the resources include discussions around stop-and-search statistics, prison sentencing, and racial disparities in the criminal justice system.

It says: “In Britain, white people are likely to be privileged by the colour of their skin. This privilege arises because they are much less likely to be affected by racist behaviour, including bias, discrimination and verbal and physical abuse.

“Privileged people have a responsibility to reduce racism by: being aware of it; improving their own language and behaviour; challenging their friends’ language and behaviour; reporting incidents of racism; providing support to those who have been harmed by discrimination.”

Supporters say the programme helps pupils “understand discrimination and modern social issues”. However, we argue that sensitive political and ideological topics should not be introduced to children in classrooms at such a young age.

Division in the Classroom

The teaching materials have triggered political criticism, with leading figures accusing schools of promoting divisive ideas under the banner of anti-racism education. Laura Trott, the shadow education secretary, has urged the government to intervene, arguing that children were being encouraged to see society mainly through racial identity.

She said: “It is deeply alarming that children as young as seven are being exposed to divisive identity politics in schools under the banner of ‘anti-racism education.

“These materials teach children that black prejudice against white people cannot be described as racism, present contested concepts like ‘white privilege’ as unquestionable fact and encourage pupils to see themselves primarily through the lens of race.

“It is hugely damaging and exactly the kind of Left-wing ideological nonsense that should be nowhere near our classrooms.

“Labelling children by race and teaching them to focus on what divides them will only foster resentment and deepen division.”

Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Debate Over Race and Identity

The Sheffield lesson plans reflect broader national arguments around race and identity that have appeared in politics, education, and public institutions in recent years. Debates over “white privilege”, unconscious bias training, and anti-racism policies have increasingly entered schools, universities, workplaces, and the civil service.

Concerns have grown about the increasing politicisation of education. Government ministers and campaigners have repeatedly warned against the use of third-party classroom resources that promote ideological activism rather than balanced teaching.

Public discussion intensified after comments by Diane Abbott regarding differences between racism and prejudice prompted national controversy. At the same time, campaigners on both sides continue to dispute how issues such as policing, discrimination, and social inequality should be explained and taught to young people.

Questions are also being asked about whether schools are drifting away from core educational priorities such as literacy, numeracy, science, history, discipline, and social development.The wider concern for many families is whether Britain can address racism and inequality without creating further division among children who would otherwise learn, play, and grow together naturally.

Christians believe truth, justice, and compassion matter deeply, but also that lasting unity comes from recognising shared human dignity rather than encouraging children to see one another primarily through racial categories.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Why our rulers hate ‘Unite the Kingdom’

UK Christian Constitution

Stephen

15 May 2026

With just four words of his resignation letter, Wes Streeting exposed the contempt felt in the ruling party for the voters.

He wrote: ‘It is not clear whether democracy or tyranny will define the 21st century. After the financial crisis, austerity, the disaster of Brexit, Liz Truss, the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine and now the war in Iran, the country needs to believe again that things can be better than this and that politics is part of the answer, not the source of the problem. These are big challenges that require a bold vision and bigger solutions than we are offering.’

’The Disaster of Brexit’

Did you notice the same four words I did? ‘The disaster of Brexit’. It is tempting to say to him, ‘That was ten years ago, dude. The people voted to come out of the EU. It’s called “democracy”. Get over it.’ But no, for Wes and the godless left, Brexit was and still is a ‘disaster’, a ‘big challenge’ needing ‘a bold vision and bigger solutions than we are offering’. Bigger than Keir’s own attempts to move back into the Single Market?

There was nothing in the Streeting resignation letter about energy costs and security, the welfare crisis or the injustice of inheritance tax. Crucially, there was no recognition of the small boats migrants, their crime wave, antisemitism, Muslim separatism, the grooming gangs, or the pro-Hamas hate marches in our streets.

These are things which concern ordinary people, but no-one can be found in the Labour Party to voice them. Indeed, Mr Streeting even criticised Keir Starmer for his ‘Island of Strangers’ speech, the point of which, that we are no longer a united nation because of migration, ordinary voters agreed.

’Disaster’ vs ‘Catastrophe’

Interestingly, the ability of the Wes to nurture a grudge against the voters for ten years of ‘Disaster’ is as nothing compared to the vitriol nurtured by those who will take part in the pro-‘Palestinian’ ‘Nakba’ march on Saturday 16th May. ‘Nakba’ is Arabic for ‘Catastrophe’. It refers to the displacement and dispossession of Arabs (or ‘Palestinians’) during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war during the creation of the State of Israel.

And who started the 1948 war? A coalition of five Arab nations (Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria) invaded on 15th May 1948 in response to the Jewish Declaration of Independence the day before.

Remember, God himself promised the land to Abraham:
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

The promise was repeated by Moses and then by Joshua, centuries later:
Josh 1:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

It follows that the Holy Land is not ‘Palestinian’ land, and the Jews are not ‘occupiers’. It is indeed ‘The Promised Land’, given to them by the Lord Almighty.

Unite the Kingdom March

The same day, a Unite the Kingdom march organised by Tommy Robinson will conclude with a rally in Parliament Square. Many working-class people will take part, sensing that multiculturalism is a false god and that there is no strength in ‘diversity’, only, as the Bible states, in unity, in this case, under the flag, and under the Christian faith:

Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! … 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

GB News reports that Sir Keir Starmer has banned 11 foreign speakers from entering the UK ahead of the march. Each of them would have been bringing a warning about Islam and its practitioners, some of them hyperbolic, all of them unwelcome to a ruling party fighting the Green Party for the Muslim vote.

We see no recognition from the Prime Minister that those marching under the Union flag have any sort of legitimate concern about what they see as a slow-burn Islamic invasion, the use of sectarianism in politics, the feeling of seeing their country taken from them, the welfare scandal of their taxes funding benefits for those not even born here or entering illegally, the indoctrination of their children in schools, the Establishment always putting other cultures before our own as they worship the false gods of ‘multiculturalism’ and ’strength in diversity’, imposed on us by our elites even as they promise to curtail immigration, ‘stop the boats’ or ‘smash the gangs’.

Fight for the soul

For Keir Starmer, ‘We’re in a fight for the soul of this country, and the Unite the Kingdom march this weekend is a stark reminder of exactly what we are up against. Its organisers are peddling hatred and division, plain and simple.’

That they might have a genuine grievance must not be allowed to occur to him. Right on cue, out came all the Southport rhetoric from 2024 as Sir Keir warned that ‘violent thugs who spew hatred on our streets’ will be hit with the ‘full force of the law’. Oh no, it’s locking people up for tweets all over again. Previous Unite the Kingdom marches have reportedly been entirely peaceful.

Which cannot be said of the Nakba march scheduled for the same day, which Sir Keir completely ignored. And yet, if he really wants to find hatred, that’s where it will be. Murderous antisemitism is written into the Muslim scriptures. It is behind chants like ‘globalise the intifada’, which calls for Jews world-wide to be murdered, and ‘From the River (Jordan) to the (Mediterranean) Sea, Palestine will be free’, no, not of Hamas, or Islam, but of Jews.

The Spiritual Dimension

On one thing, Keir Starmer is right. There is a spiritual dimension. We are in a battle, a spiritual war, for the soul of our country. And there can only be one winner. An atheist, secularist, or even demonic Labour Party is no match for the Lord and his people.

We read that the elites will be defeated in their inevitable war against the Lord, pictured here as the ‘lamb’:
Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

In response to Peter’s declaration of faith in him, the Lord responded with a promise to the Church:
Matt 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

For the promise to take effect, the Church has to pick up its weapons and go to war:
2Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;

Pray For those in authority, for the Lord to grant them repentance or replace them with able, humble, God-fearing honest men of truth, men who understand the spiritual dimension and are prepared to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ of our Christian constitution as our only Saviour. And pray for the Church to rise up and contend for Gospel truth.

Watch this nanosermon here:

Nanosermon Script:

Are you in trouble, feeling oppressed or bowed down? Do you want the glory, the presence of the Lord of hosts, to surround you? Well, let me show you what can happen when you praise the Lord in song. We’ll seek the Lord in the book of Second Chronicles chapter five:

2Chr 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

When the praises went up, the glory came down. I’m a musician. I love this word. Lord, give me the score for that music! Actually, I don’t need it. Because, whenever you praise the lord in song, that’s the music. OK, watch this. Same book, 15 chapters on. Jerusalem is beseiged. But they sought the Lord in prayer, in unity, with fasting, for something to do. And the Lord said ‘go out against them’ and ‘you won’t need to fight’. That’s all he said. But king Jehoshaphat called a council, and they decided they would go out singing the praises of the Lord. Verse twenty-one:

2Chr 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

The Lord fought for them

That’s the same words as when they dedicated the Temple. Give glory to God. Now look:

2Chr 20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

When the praises went up, the glory came down. And the glory of God sowed confusion in the enemies of the people of God and they were slain.

Paul and Silas in prison

Let’s turn to the New Testament, to Acts chapter sixteen. We have Paul and Silas in Philippi, in trouble and in prison.

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

I was in a police cell once – in Cardiff, in 2006 – for preaching the Gospel. And I prayed – not a lot, but I prayed. The police come round and look at you. They make a note. And that custody note said, ‘The prisoner was praying.’ I thank God for that. But I wasn’t singing praises. Maybe I missed out on something, because look what happened to Paul and Silas when they prayed and sang praises unto God:

Acts 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Hey. When the praises went up, the glory came down. What situation are you in? What trouble? What is oppressing you? You want the Lord to relieve you? I think you know what to do. Get singing those praises to the Lord God Almighty. Because: When the praises go up, the glory comes down.

How an Immigrant Became an MSP on a Temporary Visa

Makeda

13 May 2026

Scottish Green Party MSP Q Manivannan at the Scottish Parliament. Credit: PA

The appointment of an immigrant student-turned-politician who publicly rejects being identified as either a man or a woman would once have sounded like political satire. Yet this is now the reality of modern Scottish politics. What should be a serious national parliament increasingly resembles a bizarre Netflix parody of Western decline, where ideological symbolism appears to matter more than competence, credibility, or public confidence.

Q Manivannan was elected to the Scottish Parliament last week after securing a seat on the Edinburgh and Lothians East regional list for the Scottish Greens. Manivannan, who describes himself as a “queer Tamil immigrant”, identifies as “non-binary”, uses “they/them” pronouns, and is currently living in Scotland on a student visa. But he is clearly a man.he is currently living in Scotland.

Just days after the election, further questions emerged when Manivannan confirmed plans to apply for a graduate visa to remain in the UK for a longer period, alongside a Global Talent visa in order to continue a parliamentary career. The question remains how someone still navigating immigration routes and future visa approval was elevated into one of the country’s highest legislative institutions in the first place.

For many ordinary Scots, the issue is not race or nationality, but what the entire episode reveals about the state of Britain’s political class. A generation ago, candidates were expected to demonstrate competence, professionalism, and credibility before entering public office. Today, activist credentials alone often seem enough to secure a seat in parliament.

Ecclesiastes 10:16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child.

Stop Transgenderism Now! →

Call for Investigations

The Scottish Conservatives are calling on the Home Office to investigate a newly elected Green MSP accused of breaking immigration rules. Recent eligibility changes to become an MSP meant Manivannan could stand in the election. But the Scottish Conservatives have accused the new MSP of breaching the terms of their visa, saying the guidance was “clear that holders of student visas are only permitted to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week, whether voluntary or paid”.

One of the party’s 12 MSPs, Stephen Kerr, has written to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, urging her to investigate the alleged breach of rules.

“I’m calling on the Home Office to look into this case, because I can’t see how Q Manivannan can fulfil the duties of an MSP without breaching the strict terms under which a student visa is issued,” he said.

“Being an MSP is a demanding, full-time job that can’t possibly be carried out effectively by working less than 20 hours per week.”

Public Reaction

Former senior SNP figure Ian Blackford publicly questioned whether the Scottish Greens should withdraw the MSP entirely, arguing that uncertainty surrounding visa eligibility risked undermining confidence in parliament itself. Others asked how someone potentially requiring future visa approval could realistically guarantee the ability to serve a full parliamentary term.

Additional controversy emerged over past social media activity and activist positions linked to Manivannan, including criticism over comments involving Auschwitz-related social media content and support for highly controversial political activism.

Much of the public frustration stems from the perception that ordinary people are held to increasingly strict standards in daily life while public officers appear willing to relax scrutiny for candidates who align ideologically with progressive causes.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.

Failed Vetting

The Holyrood controversy has reignited broader concerns about political vetting failures across Britain. Increasingly, parties appear more focused on diversity optics, factional loyalty, and ideological alignment than on rigorous examination of candidates before elections.

In Sunderland, Labour previously faced criticism over candidate selection disputes and concerns around transparency within internal political processes. Questions were raised about how effectively parties investigate and scrutinise those standing for office before they are approved as candidates.

More recently, serious controversy emerged surrounding newly elected Sunderland Reform councillor David Barker. Reports resurfaced detailing Barker’s 2019 conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm against his former girlfriend, with prosecutors describing injuries that left the victim “black and blue.” Further allegations circulated online relating to abuse claims involving a child, leading many critics to question how such issues were not identified or addressed before his election campaign.

Across the UK, councils and political parties have repeatedly faced embarrassment after candidates were later linked to allegations involving sexual misconduct, abusive behaviour, racism, or extremist comments. In Aberdeen, councillor Alan Donnelly was suspended after being convicted of sexual assault and placed on the sex offenders register, yet initially resisted calls to resign from public office.

These repeated controversies point to a much deeper issue: Britain’s political parties increasingly appear more interested in winning elections and filling seats quickly than conducting serious vetting, safeguarding, accountability checks and finding a Godly leader.

All green party that has made anti-semitism comments green party

Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.

How Did This Happen?

The recent election of the student migrant has also exposed how Scotland’s electoral system allows candidates to enter parliament without directly winning the support of a local constituency. Manivannan entered Holyrood through the regional list system, where party leadership and internal structures play a major role in determining who ultimately secures seats.

Recent reforms in Scotland expanded eligibility rules for election candidates, allowing more foreign nationals with valid immigration status to stand for office, even without British citizenship or permanent residency. Supporters framed the changes as “inclusive and democratic”. Critics, however, argue that the reforms weakened scrutiny and opened serious questions about long-term accountability and public trust.

The issue is not whether legal migrants can contribute positively to society, many already do across Britain but whether temporary visa arrangements should intersect with full-time legislative office. Whether someone who is neither a man or woman can understand policies relating to gender.

Hosea 4:6 states My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Which Way, Britain?

Britain is shaped by Christian values such as truth, responsibility, service, humility, and moral accountability. Leadership is expected to carry a sense of duty and sound judgment, not simply activism, symbolism, or personal identity. Modern politics is increasingly moving away from those foundations and replacing them with ideology-driven culture wars that leave many voters feeling disconnected from everyday concerns.

The growing frustration is not only political but cultural. Many believe Britain is now gambling with important leadership positions by prioritising representation, identity, and headline politics over experience, wisdom, and character. Questions are increasingly being asked about whether public office is still rooted in competence, stability, and service to the nation.

For Christians, the issue ultimately points back to the need for moral and spiritual restoration. A country cannot thrive when truth becomes blurred and leadership loses its moral foundation. Scripture repeatedly stresses the importance of righteous leadership because leaders shape the direction, values, and stability of a nation.

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

Greta supports ‘Reform are Nazis’ Elitist

Stephen

12 May 2026

STOP PRESS (16/05/2026). This story has taken off. The Telegraph reports that the Good Law Project, a loony-left vanity idea run by well-off boy, Jolyon Maugham, ‘have organised an online petition titled “stand in solidarity with Misan Harriman”, which has been signed by more than 19,000 people.’ They include a bunch of celebs including musicians Paul Weller and Paloma Faith, documentary maker Louis Theroux, broadcaster Gary Lineker, artist Dame Tracey Emin, Hugh Bonneville and Greta Thunberg. See the full list of luvvies.

Story:

Now why did the wealthy chairman of the Southbank Centre in London compare Reform’s victory in Britain’s 7th May 2026 local elections to the Nazi Holocaust?

Misan Harriman, chairman of the Southbank Centre since 2021, said in a video posted on social media that the “first thing that came to mind” was a quote by one Susan Sontag on the Holocaust. Citing Miss Sontag, he said: “Ten per cent of people in any population are cruel, no matter what, and ten per cent is merciful, no matter what, and the other remaining 80 per cent could be moved in either direction.

“It’s such a profound way to look at us. And in the context of yesterday’s election results is something I think is really topical. The surge of Reform is real, no one should deny it.”

Comments ‘shocking’ – and stupid

No, it’s not profound, and the statistics quoted by Miss Sontag are pure invention, but his link of the surge in voting for Reform to the rise of the Nazis, responsible for the Holocaust, is at the same time reprehensible and plain stupid.

In the Jewish Chronicle, Karen Pollock, chief executive of Holocaust Education Trust, criticised Harriman’s take as “shocking”. She wrote: “Whatever one’s political view, how on Earth could yesterday’s election results ever be comparable to the Holocaust – the mechanised state sponsored murder of six million Jews by Nazis and their collaborators?”

Shadow Chancellor of Reform UK, Robert Jenrick, also condemned Harriman.
“Comparing the millions who voted Reform on Thursday to the Nazis is disgusting. This crass moron should be nowhere near a taxpayer funded organisation,” Jenrick said.

Harriman then engaged in ducking and diving to try to escape. ‘In this video, I actually say that Reform voters are not devils. Yet due to NOT watching the full video, [Robert Jenrick] is saying I am comparing reform voters to Nazis. Truth matters, folks, even on X”.’

So for Misan, Reform voters are ‘not devils’, which I suppose is his attempt at generosity, they’re just either nasty, or not very bright. They have been influenced, he goes on to say, by ‘certain newspapers’ and ‘certain charlatans.’ Well, they sure haven’t allowed the Guardian, the BBC and the charlatan Zack Polanski to influence them, so maybe they’re not as daft as Misan Harriman.

Public funding of Southbank Centre

Before we look at Misan Harriman’s record of antisemitism, let’s ask about the Southbank, the UK’s largest arts and cultural centre, home to the Royal Festival Hall, which has distanced itself from its chairman’s remarks.

The Southbank Centre is funded by Arts Council England. Its most recent received donation is £10 million. Sir Keir Starmer has just criticised the Arts Council for preferring to give taxpayers’ money to antisemitic arts projects. The Spectator’s Lara Brown says this has been going on for ten years. And who appoints the members of the Arts Council?

Arts Council England (ACE) says: ‘Our National Council is made up of 15 members, who are also charitable trustees. The council includes our National Chair, Sir Nicholas Serota and the five chairs of our area councils. Members are appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, usually for four years and may be reappointed for a further term of four years. Each member is appointed because of their special interest in, or experience of, the arts as practicing artists or art administrators; as senior academics; or as public or private sector executives.’

The members of ACE are appointed by the Rt Hon Lisa Nandy MP, herself appointed by none other than Sir Keir Starmer in July 2024. But let’s not be too hard on her. The Secretary of State is not trawling through lists of arty names. It’s civil servants who decide who is appointed and they put before the SoS the names of people with similar views to them, those who faces fit in the corridors of power.

Who appoints these people?

That is the basis of appointments to the whole Quangocracy, and to the boards of venues like the Southbank Centre, for that matter. Because it turns out that the governors on the Southbank Centre’s Board (Patron: Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh) are officially appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, after a quangocrat stitch-up. Here is how it works:

A Southbank Centre Press Release details how Misan Harriman was appointed in May 2021 to be its chairman:

‘The Board of Trustees of the Southbank Centre, London’s iconic multi-arts centre, are pleased to announce the appointment of their new Chair, Misan Harriman. The appointment has been approved by the Secretary of State, Oliver Dowden MP, following the recommendation of the Southbank Centre Board and after consultation with Arts Council England.’

Mr Dowden was one of Ms Nandy’s Conservative predecessors. We see how it doesn’t matter which party is in office. The Civil Service and Quangocracy Establishment grinds on regardless. The Southbank Centre continued:

‘Mr Harriman’s appointment follows a comprehensive search process for a visionary leader with a deep passion for the potential of multi-arts programming, and a proven commitment to the power of culture in bringing diverse communities together.’

They couldn’t find one, so they appointed the grindingly right-on Misan instead.

Misan Harriman antisemitic and fashionable

And Misan Harriman is antisemitic. He’s the whole package. The Jews are committing genocide in Gaza, Israel wants to take over Iran, yes, Misan is bonkers, Jews are selling ‘palestinian’ land in synagogues, they are ‘occupiers’ and it’s them who are doing ‘killing and starvation’ in Gaza, not Gaza’s ruling despotic grasping Hamas terrorists, and so on.

He is also a photographer who made his name in 2020 documenting the Black Lives Matter protests in London in classy black-and-white photos. You remember, the BLM protests where the Metropolitan Police knelt down to the rioters and whose organisers ran off with millions of dollars.

That made him fashionable among the monied left. British Vogue immediately hired him to shoot a cover for them. They were chuffed, and so was he, that Mr Harriman was the first Black man to do that in the magazine’s 104-year history. That matters to the fashion luvvies gushing over a guy who publicised the Marxists of BLM.

Misan went to photograph Extinction Rebellion protests, naturally. He has celebrated the rise of the Green Party as an “extraordinary story” which evolved, he claims, ‘without media support’.

He is in a parallel universe, this dude. The leftist media have been all over the Green Party and its chairman Zack hypnotits Polanski. The Green Party is crushingly establishment, multicultural, NetZero and antisemitic. Just up their street.

Son of billionaire businessman

Now of course Misan Harriman did not pop up from nowhere. We learn he was born on 15th December 1977 in Calabar, Nigeria, to the late Chief Hope Harriman, who was a billionaire businessman and politician from Warri in Nigeria’s Delta State.

His father, whose surname was from his English father, Misan’s paternal grandfather, was nevertheless a titleholder in Nigerian chieftaincy and a descendant of the Olu, that’s the King, of Warri who built a fortune trading in Delta State in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Chief Hope sent Misan to a fee-paying preparatory school, Stubbington House in Ascot and from there to boarding school, Bradfield College in England. From there Misan went into the City of London to make more money and build contacts, as you do.

Mother and monied wife

Misan Harriman and his wife Camilla Holmstroem

We don’t know the name of his mother, but he is very proud of her, even if, after all that education, he thinks ‘You’re’ as in ‘You are’ is spelled the same as the possessive ‘Your’.

Naturally, he is married to a posh Swedish girl with money, Camilla Holmstroem, a fellow photographer, city trader and company director. They make sure they are seen at lots of high-end events.

Oh yes, Misan’s step-mother is Roli Daibo-Harriman, an international judge now notorious for overturning the result of a football match, the final of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, which was played and decided on the pitch in January this year, stripping Senegal of their 1-0 victory two months later and naming the hosts, Morocco, as champions instead. They know what side their bread is buttered, these people.

Friend of Prince Harry

So Misan is a seriously well-off posh boy, a friend of Prince Harry even, of the type who can afford the policies of the antichrist Green Party and who have a warm glow thinking about their ‘diversity’.

That a couple of Green Party candidates have been arrested for antisemitism and many more have claimed the 7th October 2023 atrocity was staged by the Jews or that the Hamas murderers are really ‘freedom fighters’ will not trouble Misan one bit.

Well, I read: Prov 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

Rich men full of violence

So let’s do that. The rich man is here castigating working-class Reform voters as racists, or Nazis, even though it’s actually him and the Islamo-left who are out there attacking Jews, just as was done by the real Nazis in Germany in the build-up to the real Holocaust. The prophet Micah observes:

Micah 6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

This rich man will be thinking of working-class people as stupid, even though it’s them, not him, who have noticed that our nation’s economic and social direction is building up into despair and unrest.

It is written: Prov 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. (KJV)

Well, he can run on for a long time, as Johnny Cash sang, but sooner or later God will cut Misan Harriman down. As Mary the mother of our Lord declared:

Luke 1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

Prayer and Action

Pray not just for Misan Harriman, but for the whole antichrist quangocracy to be cut down. Why are these repositories of godless leftism and establishment views in receipt of public money? Let them stand on their own two feet. Thank God he has exposed this scandal, and thank God, as the Lord Jesus said:

Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Begin your letter with “Sir” or “Your Royal Highness”. It is respectful to say ‘your Royal Highness’ rather than ‘you’ in your letter. Close with “I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Royal Highness’s humble and obedient servant.” Some say it is becoming acceptable to write, “Yours sincerely,” followed by your name. Be legible, clear and succinct.

Why Are City Firms Still Defying the Supreme Court’s Gender Ruling?

Makeda

11 May 2026

Major firms across the UK are continuing to allow “trans” staff to use women’s toilets based on self-identification, despite the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex.

An investigation by Sex Matters found that companies including NatWest, The Co-operative Bank, Coventry Building Society and Admiral have yet to update policies on single-sex spaces more than a year after the judgment.

The businesses reportedly said they were waiting for further government guidance before making changes, even though the court had already clarified that the terms “man” and “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex, requiring single-sex facilities to correspond accordingly. However, Sex Matters, a gender-critical charity, found that City institutions had failed to update their policies on single-sex spaces since the ruling a year ago.

The gender-critical charity contacted 15 banks, insurers, consultancies and building societies, but none confirmed that their single-sex facilities were exclusively reserved for biological males or females.

‘Unable to Raise Concerns’

Sex Matters, which also spoke to anonymous employees at some of the companies, said in its report: “Female staff concerned about this have been left feeling angry, unvalued and cynical.

“Finance is a highly regulated sector and on any other topic, a Supreme Court judgment would result in a rush to ensure all policies were brought into line with the law as speedily as possible and to communicate all changes clearly to staff.”

The group said some staff “felt unable to raise concerns for fear of adverse consequences for their careers”.

Meanwhile, Coventry Building Society explicitly allows workers to use single-sex areas based on the gender they “identify as”. Other firms, including HSBC and NatWest, have opaque guidance on the issues. NatWest said it was “awaiting workplace guidance by the EHRC and its approach was consistent with evolving case law.”

“Should workplace guidance be issued, we will review and update our position accordingly,” a spokesman said.

HSBC, Coventry Building Society and the Co-operative Bank declined to comment. Meanwhile, the NHS continues to defy the Supreme Court by allowing transgender patients and staff to access single-sex spaces in English hospitals.

The Delay

The Secretary of State for Education and the “women’s minister”, Bridget Phillipson, delayed new guidance last month from the EHRC on the creation of women-only spaces, claiming it could impact local elections.

Baroness Falkner of Margravine, the EHRC’s former chairman, said the delay “betrayed” working women’s right to single-sex spaces and accused Ms Phillipson of putting her “personal ambition” before her duty as women and equalities minister.

In February, Ms Phillipson also stated that the anticipated EHRC guidance “doesn’t apply to workplace regulations”, which could mean that companies continue to allow biological men to use female toilets.

An Admiral spokesman said: “While we await the release of the updated EHRC code of practice, our policies and procedures will remain the same and we maintain our approach to colleagues having a respectful workplace.”

Councils Accused of Ignoring the Supreme Court

Several councils and public bodies across the UK have faced criticism for continuing policies that allow people to use single-sex spaces based on “gender identity” rather than biological see. The City of London Corporation said it was still “reviewing” the judgment regarding access to the women-only bathing pond on Hampstead Heath rather than immediately changing policy.

In Scotland, the row has also affected public institutions linked to the Scottish Parliament. Holyrood eventually changed its toilet policy to biological sex after the ruling, but only after growing pressure and legal scrutiny over previous self-identification practices. Perth and Kinross Council came under criticism after a Freedom of Information request revealed the council still allowed employees to use facilities based on self-identified gender following the ruling.

West Lothian Council is currently facing legal action from the parents of a schoolgirl who reportedly avoided using gender-neutral toilets because she felt uncomfortable sharing facilities with boys. Angus Council confirmed that gender-neutral toilets in some schools would remain in place even after the Supreme Court ruling, arguing that their overall facilities still complied with legal requirements.

In Northern Ireland, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council faced controversy after announcing plans to review toilet and changing room policies in line with the ruling, before later apologising amid backlash and protests.

A Daily Mail, investigation cited by multiple outlets claimed that more than half of councils in England were still waiting for guidance nearly a year after the Supreme Court ruling, despite ministers describing the judgment as “crystal clear”.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” — Isaiah 5:20

What Ignoring the Ruling Means for Women’s Spaces

Failing to enforce the Supreme Court ruling risks undermining the purpose of single-sex spaces altogether. Women’s toilets, changing rooms, hospital wards, and refuges were created to provide privacy, dignity, and safeguarding. Those protections become blurred when access is determined by self-identification rather than sex.

The debate has intensified concerns among some women who say they no longer feel fully comfortable or certain using public facilities if biological males are permitted access to female-only spaces. This is not about hostility towards “transgender people”, but about maintaining clear boundaries in places intended to remain single-sex under the law.

The Supreme Court ruling was intended to provide legal clarity after years of confusion surrounding self-identification policies in workplaces, schools, hospitals, and public services. Continued refusal or delay in implementing the judgment risks creating inconsistent safeguarding standards and further public distrust in institutions meant to uphold the law.

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.

Trans Athlete Wins Three Events

A California high school track meet on Saturday became the latest flashpoint in the debate over transgender athletes in women's sport, with a demonstration outside the venue giving way to commanding performances inside | GETTY — A California high school track meet on Saturday became the latest flashpoint in the debate over transgender athletes in women’s sport, with a demonstration outside the venue giving way to commanding performances inside | GETTY

A high school athletics meet in California has reignited debate over transgender participation in women’s sport after transgender athlete AB Hernandez won three girls’ jumping events at the CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries held at Yorba Linda High School.

Before the competition began, demonstrators gathered outside the venue for a “Save Girls’ Sports” rally led by former NCAA athlete Sophia Lorey, who raised concerns about fairness and the impact on female athletes competing against biological males. Protesters argued that girls are increasingly being placed at a competitive disadvantage in school and collegiate sports.

Inside the stadium, Mr. Hernandez finished first in the long jump and triple jump and tied for first place in the high jump. In the triple jump, the bloke recorded a distance nearly three feet ahead of the second-place competitor, further intensifying criticism from campaigners who argue biological differences continue to create unfair advantages in female sport despite gender identity policies adopted by sporting bodies and schools.

Several sporting bodies in the UK and internationally have tightened or banned transgender participation in female categories following growing concerns over fairness in women’s sport. Organisations including World Athletics, FINA (now World Aquatics), and the Union Cycliste Internationale introduced restrictions preventing athletes who went through male puberty from competing in elite women’s competitions. In the UK, sports such as rugby, cycling, athletics, and swimming have also adopted policies prioritising biological sex in female categories, arguing that safety, fairness, and competitive integrity must remain central to women’s sport.
