Witness at ICC 11th & 19th March 2022
Where: International Convention Centre, Broad Street, Birmingham B1 2EA.
When: Friday 11th March 2022: 8.00am to 11.00am & 4.00pm to 5.30pm
And: Saturday 12th March 2022: 8.00am to 10.00am & 2.30pm to 4.00pm
What: This is the Annual Conference of the Association of School and College Leaders . The ASCL is the second-biggest headteachers’ trades union with over 18,500 members. It’s pro-RSE and terrified the subject might be‘derailed’ because of ‘objections’.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Who: Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi MP is on at 10.50am on Friday 11th. Registration opens at 8:00am so that is when we shall gather to pray, witness and give leaflets to delegates.
Who: Ofsted Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman is scheduled for 9.50am on Saturday 12th. The conference closes at 3.00pm. We want to be there when the people leave the venue.
Background
Andrew Moffat (holding the 6-colour ‘diversity’ rainbow umbrella now with added trans colours) leading the Birmingham Gay Pride parade in 2019.
Why: Sex education, now called in the UK ‘ Relationships and Sex Education, is always too much, too graphic and too soon. Its outcomes are shockingly poor. The UK experiences the highest levels of teenage pregnancies in Europe. We now have the worst levels of STD’s ever. Teen suicide is shocking, driven in part by sexual expectations and demands. Meanwhile, child-on-child sex abuse is soaring.
RSE promotes homosexuality and deviant sexual practices. It advances ‘trans’ ideology, encouraging children into ‘gender dyspohria’ and puberty-blocking hormones. That all amounts to child abuse.
RSE provides an open door for ideological activists like Andrew Moffat. He developed the gay propaganda programme ‘No Outsiders’ while working as a teacher in Birmingham schools. In 2019 he piloted ‘No Outsiders’ at Parkfield Community School off Alum Rock Road. Parents protested at the school and called for Moffat to go. ‘No Outsiders’ is still in use in schools.
Amanda Spielman has constantly condemned parental protests and called for ‘sane, rational discussion’. If a policy was ‘not working well enough’ then ‘it’s proper conversation that will change it, not protests,’ she sniffed. It’s breathtaking establishment arrogance. Talking to these elitists changes nothing. Only strong parental opposition will make them leave our children alone.
Education is the responsibility of parents
The Bible makes clear that parents are responsible for teaching their children the right way to go:
Deut 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (KJV)
The word of God encourages modesty:
1Tim 2:9a In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel…
The Lord Jesus had harsh words for those who lead children astray:
Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. (‘offend:’ Greek ‘skandalizo’, ‘entrap’, ‘lead astray’.)
RSE Guidelines
Nick Gibb MP, Minister of State at the Department for Education in 2019
Parents have no right now to take their children out of ‘Relationships Education’ in primary schools, where all the homosexual propaganda happens or out of any part of RSE in secondaries. In Wales there is no parental opt-out at all.
Back in 2019, Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: ‘… it is of course vital that, by the time they become adults and participate in British society, pupils understand, respect and value all the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010.’ Those ‘characteristics’ include homosexuality and transsexualism. So the Government think it’s ‘vital’ that pupils ‘respect and value’ homosexuality and transsexualism?
That was a declaration of cultural – or religious – war.
What we’ll do and why
Psalm 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
We’ll pray, sing and hand out the leaflets to those attending the conference and set up our banners (feel free to bring a banner with a scripture verse) in the name of the Lord. Above all, we’ll show by our presence that Govt RSE is wrong and parents need a cast-iron opt-out from all of it.
We were present handing out leaflets in March 2019 and there was no conference in either 2020 or 2021. So this opportunity really is heaven-sent. If you are close enough, please come and bring your church members and children and everyone. If not, pray for it to be well-supported and noticed on high.
School closure give parents an opportunity to inoculate their children from the LGBT propaganda circulating in schools. Lockdown is bringing much hardship, but LGBT activists must be distraught at their lack of opportunity to promote ‘two mommies’ and ‘born in the wrong body’ Opportunities for ‘Mermaids’ and other transgender lobbyists, as well as ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ have been much reduced, thank God.
The first thing to say is that school closures were unnecessary, despite the BBC running interviews with parents who think it was very sensible. It is puzzling why the Government did not spell out loud and clear to us all that school children in general are the lowest risk group for even catching Covid-19, let alone becoming a serious case?
For example, a 16-year-old girl interviewed by the BBC about the cancellation of examinations let slip she had been self-isolating. ‘Oh really’, said the presenter, ‘Was that for corona virus?’ ‘Yes,’ replied the girl, ‘I had a bit of a cough and a temperature for a couple of days. Not very nice.’ That was it. For the under-tens in particular, there have been minuscule cases and not one death in that age-group worldwide, so far as we can ascertain.
However, explaining the lack of risk from Covid-19 might not have chimed well with Covid-19 Project Fear. In any case, it is probable teachers were more worried about themselves than about their charges. However, data from China shows the few children who have fallen sick appear to have caught the virus from adults, not from other children. Children are not transmitters. There was absolutely no need to close schools.
University College London
The media have reported on a study from University College London published in The Lancet.
The academics say ‘school closures have little impact on spread of coronavirus’. The ‘small benefits’ should be ‘weighed against profound economic and social costs’.
One of the research authors, Professor Russell Viner, said: ‘Data on the benefit of school closures in the coronavirus outbreak is limited, but what we know shows that their impact is likely to be only small.
‘Additionally, the costs of national school closures are high – children’s education is damaged and their mental health may suffer, family finances are affected.’
He said policy makers should ‘weigh up the possible harms and reopen schools at the earliest opportunity’ – and not necessarily wait until September if it can be done safely sooner.
School’s out for how long?
However, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has there will be no imminent return and head teachers have described pressure for an early return as ‘irresponsible’. School’s out for May at least. Moreover, if you choose to keep your child off for the rest of this academic year, ministers have said there will be no penalties.
If school really is out for summer, the new RSE guidelines will take effect in September this year as children do return. We are losing valuable time to hold meetings and make parents aware. ‘Gay lessons’ are right at the heart of Government plans.
Recruit-proof Your Child
7 Steps to Recruit-proof Your Child is the title of a book by Scott Lively. It was published in 1998 but is still relevant, except there is obviously no reference to the horrors of transgenderism.
The seven steps are Get Serious, Take Authority, Inform Yourself, Strengthen Your Family, Improve Your Parenting Skills, Clean House, and Be Active in Your Community.
Get Serious
Under ‘Get Serious’ Dr Lively reminds us that ‘gays recruit’. But they need a social softening-up exercise first. That is where books like ‘And Tango Makes Three’ or ‘King and king’ or ‘Two Mommies’ come in, in primary school. Mention of homosexuals as ‘minorities’ or equating opposition to homosexuality with racism also works as a pre-grooming tool.
You also need to find out what the school is teaching your child in the are of Relationships and Sex Education and demand to see materials and curriculum details. Never regard teachers as benign on this subject.
Take Authority
In this chapter, Dr Lively reminds you that you have the authority to protect you child from homosexuality. Remember Protocol 1, Article 2: Right to education states:
‘In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching is in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions.’
Don’t be intimidated by political correctness, don’t let gay activists claim any moral high ground, don’t go on the defensive, don’t use the language of the gays, never say you are ‘not homophobic’, don’t defer to ‘experts’ and don’t think activists will ever be reasonable.
Inform Yourself
The title of this chapter speaks for itself. A book like my own ‘Sexual Dead-End’ will inform you about the reality of the homosexual lifestyle. However, you must also get right into the word of God and be solid about how the Almighty has designed us and given us structures of society for our good.
No, homosexuality is not ‘normal’, no geneticist will agree that anyone is ‘born that way’ and for that matter no-one is ‘born in the wrong body’ either.
Strengthen Your Family
The Lord Jesus said: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Even if you are for whatever reason a single parent, you are still part of a God-designed system in which a man and a women join together to become one flesh and by God’‘s grace produce children.
Strengthen your family by worshipping together. That means not just praying together, although this would be a good time to build a daily rhythm of prayer, but talking together, eating together and generally doing things together. Both parents are important in a child’s life, but as children move into puberty, a father’s influence on children becomes stronger. A daughter looks to him to see what a man is supposed to be like. He affirms her femininity. When he does things with his son, story-teller Robert Bly said: ‘something almost like food passes from the father to the son.’
The lockdown will provide us even more opportunities to do things with our children. You need also to shield your children from exposure to gay propaganda and gay characters in the media, especially on TV, and teach chastity and faithfulness.
Improve Your Parenting Skills
Improving parenting skills will start with our attitude and approach to our wife or husband. Children learn by example, so Scott Lively recommends you build an atmosphere of virtue and discipline in your own life. Always build up and encourage each other and your children, never belittle, always look for something to compliment. Recognise we are all different and there has never been anyone like you or your child in the whole history of the world.
You need also to set an example with your gender roles and embrace these as God-given. Make sure your children know acting as a man or as a woman, doing man things and woman things is not a social construct but reflects the complimentary way we have been made for each other.
Clean House
Cleanliness may be next to Godliness, but it is spiritual cleanliness Dr Lively is talking about here. Build that thorn hedge of protection around your house and do not allow anything of Satan any room in your house. Be protective, know your adversary, monitor TV viewing (if any) as well as mobile phone and social media use.
Instead of using the home-schooling material from the BBC, look online for Christian teaching materials. I saw the BBC promoting David Attenborough, so never forget part of recruit-proofing your child is sharing about the wonders of God’s creation. Here at Wernlwyd we are always amazed at how God has designed our animals, plants and the whole of our environment. We long to share that with visitors, but that will have to wait for now.
Be Active in Your Community.
Lastly, Dr Lively urges us to be active in our community. He means being prophetic, and sets out a number of issues on which Christians need to be informed and vocal. This will be second-nature to members of Christian Voice but we can all benefit from Scott Lively’s wisdom and experience of the battles he himself has fought.
The Bible shows that we should never miss an opportunity to point out how much better are the ways of the Lord to those of the world. Whenever your child asks you a question, always ask ‘Why do you ask that? to find out what is at the root of the question. Whatever subject comes up, teaching righteousness about it to our children becomes part of life:
Deut 6:7 And thou shalt teach (God’s ways) diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
So make full use of this opportunity to teach your children. You might even get used to it and decide to make it full-time. In any case, keep giving them immunity against recruitment by Satan even when, or if, they return to school.
We appreciate your support – without it we can’t do our research and help inform your prayers.

Health Minister Adward Argar wants the UK lockdown to stay , oblivious of the wider economic and social oppression it is causing
Health Minister Adward Argar wants the UK lockdown to stay , oblivious of the wider economic and social oppression it is causing
The UK Government COBRA committee was meeting as we went to press. We do not expect any relaxation of their lockdown measures next week, but we shall keep praying. Deaths in the UK rose to 7,988 with known cases yesterday at 60,733. Those tested stands at 232,708. As more universal testing is rolled out, with drive-in centres, the true figure of those infected by Covid-19 in the population will be less influenced by those who were only tested because they had symptoms. At the moment 26% of those seen tested positive for Covid-19.
Meanwhile, in answer to prayer, the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, continues to recover in Intensive Care at St Thomas’s Hospital. Right at the bottom of this post we dismiss a bit of fake news circulating about an alleged aspiration of the ‘Chief Consultant’. Nevertheless, pray that Mr Johnson may find faith in Jesus while he recovers.
Lift the Lockdown!
We continue to urge the immediate lifting of the lockdown so that people can salvage the wreckage of their jobs and businesses and get back to providing for their families. Remember, the entire travel, leisure, hospitality, High Street and educational sectors have been shut down, with knock-on effects all over the United Kingdom. The millions affected do not want tax-payer-funded bail-outs. They want their jobs and businesses back.
It remains that the Government are oppressing the population by denying folk the ability to earn and the freedom to go out of doors.
Lev 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
And depriving men of their wages is a sin which cries to heaven:
James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Chastise you with scorpions
Fear of God has been replaced by an unreasoning fear of the effects of a virus. They took the wrong advice, from Dr Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, just as much as did king Rehoboam when they people asked him to reduce their tax burden:
1Kings 12:13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they gave him; 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
The Government have prioritised a hypothetical problem, that the NHS would be overwhelmed, over a real disaster, the loss of millions of jobs and businesses coupled with a HM Treasury debt which makes Jeremy Corbyn’s famous ‘Magic Money Tree’ look like the epitome of frugal spending plans.
They did it without any public consultation at all. What did the public think of the balance between possible problems for the NHS and predictable real economic hardship for the population? We weren’t asked, and we couldn’t be, because the Government neither prepared nor requistioned any economic or social assessment of the impact of ‘lockdown’ measures at all. They were completely fixated, even terrified, by what might happen in the NHS.
Scientific ‘advice’
And they still haven’t ‘got it’. The Evening Standard reports Health Minister Edward Argar setting out his stall over any relaxation of the rules next week. He told Sky on Wednesday morning: ‘Now is not the time to let up.’ Mr Argar said ministers will ‘wait for scientific advice that the time was right.’
On the one hand, one might expect a Health Minister to be concerned about the NHS. But on the other hand, surely the ‘Health’ of the nation is bigger than the NHS. What about mental health? What about the effects of poverty and an ability to eat properly? It is clear from Mr Argar’s remarks that the Government still have not assessed the economic damage they are doing. Or if they have, they are not admitting to it. That is why I put in a Freedom of Information Request almost two weeks ago now, asking for the economic modelling they have done on the economic and social effects of their lockdown measures.
And it is also becoming clear from this report that there is now no threat of the NHS being overwhelmed, or if it is, it is solely the result of lack of Government foresight. That is not just over the last ten years, or twenty years, but over the last four months.
Beds, staff, kit and oxygen
One consultant in critical care being interviewed on BBC said he needs four things. He needs beds, he needs staff, he needs kit, medical & protective equipment, and he needs supplies of oxygen. Frankly, the beds are up and running. We have pop-up hospitals awaiting the predicted deluge of patients. There are reports of A&E staff twiddling their thumbs. 250,00 volunteers, many of them retired and fully-trained, have come forward. Oxygen is a simple matter of procurement.
That leaves medical and protective equipment, and testing. The Government should have started to source these as soon as the outbreak started in Wuhan. But stories about the lack of them are drying up, so we assume they have made progress.
We are constantly trying here to put things into perspective. To date, worldwide, 82,000 people have died from or with Covid-19. However, in just one week, twice as many die in the world from malnutrition.
5 additional deaths per hospital
Almost 8,000 deaths to date in the UK sounds scary, until you realise there are 1,600 hospitals in England alone. So over the past two months there have been less than an average of 5 additional deaths per hospital, or taking a 50% mortality rate in ICU, ten extra patients in each ICU unit, if each fatality occurred in ICU (which they didn’t).
The Kings Fund reports ‘the UK has fewer acute beds relative to its population than many comparable health systems.’ Talking of critical care beds, ‘by 2019/20 this had risen to 5,900,’ of which 4129 are available to adults.
According to this informative (as opposed to propagandist) page on the BBC, men are most at risk from death associated with Covid-19. This confirms what we already knew, that women fight coronavruses better than men. Our immune systems are apparently different. men outnumber women as Covid-19 deaths in every age bracket, and by two to one in those aged 65-84.
“Towards a flat curve”
But Angela McLean, chief scientific adviser at the Ministry of Defence, said new UK cases of the virus are “not accelerating out of control.” But she still says a “longer run” of infections data will be needed to see when schools can reopen, adding “so much depends” on the trends.
She adds that the UK data is getting “towards a flat curve”. Angela McLean says there has been just a 4% increase in patients in critical care over the 24 hours from Tuesday to Wednesday.
NHS England’s medical director Stephen Powis says there are the “first signs of a plateauing” in the infections data
He maintains this is “not the time to become complacent”, noting that without social distancing measures cases would otherwise be “steeply rising” on an “exponential curve”.
But he is completely complacent about the effects on peoples livelihoods.
Financial downturn
The BBC Reports that yet another leading economic think tank believes the lockdown (not ‘the pandemic’, BBC!) will have far-reaching consequences for people’s health in the UK because of the impact on the NHS and the likely financial downturn.
A briefing note from the Institute for Fiscal Studies suggests that wide-scale job losses could deepen inequalities, while the knock-on effects of cancelling non-urgent operations may take years to reverse. The paper is called: ‘Recessions and health: The long-term health consequences of responses to coronavirus.’ In its introduction it says: ‘Existing literature on the health impacts of business-cycle fluctuations and recessions shows that the resulting economic downturn will have significant consequences on people’s health outcomes in the short and longer term.’ Did anyone tell the Government that?
“The health impacts of the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic will be felt long after the social distancing measures come to an end,” said Heidi Karjalainen, one of the authors.
‘Mortality associated with suicide…’
The rate of viral transmission will be lower in the resulting economic downturn, says the report. Moreover, the downturn ‘will hit some industries more than others, and consequently some regions more than others’. It goes on: ‘ Those areas that are hit hardest are those that are the most deprived … which are precisely the kind of areas least able to withstand negative shocks.’ A study from the US showed how industrial decline affects males particularly. ‘Changes in economic fortunes can lead to ‘deaths of despair’, the term coined by Case and Deaton (2015 and 2017) who documented strikingly large rises in mortality associated with suicide, alcohol and drug abuse amongst low-educated white American males.’ Did the Government take any of that into account? I think we know the answer.
And just let us remind ourselves that ‘Love thy neighbour’ means being concerned with the whole of life.
We read: Prov 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
We need wisdom so we do not fall for every aspect of Government and mass media propaganda.
No gay lessons
It may be clutching at straws, for although we maintain schools and universities should reopen as usual after Easter, at least during the closures children have not been indoctrinated with pro-sodomy propaganda in their schools. The pressure for both secondary and primary children to decide they are in ‘the wrong body’ has also receded. Opportunities for ‘Mermaids’ and other transgender lobbyists, as well as ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ have been much reduced, thank God.
On the downside, the new RSE guidelines take effect in September this year. We are losing valuable time to hold meetings and make parents aware. ‘Gay lessons’ are right at the heart of Government plans.
Furthermore, the wickedness of transgenderism, together with the child abuse of anti-puberty hormone blockers can be affecting every school across the kingdom.
Learning from the UK
Asked about comments from the chief medical officer Tuesday on the high level of testing in Germany lowering death rates, Mr Powis says it is “one of many factors and there are a range of things”.
He says the CMO was “also making clear it is important that all countries learn from each other”, adding: “No doubt other countries want to learn from our work on modelling and predicting what the epidemic might do.”
They will certainly want to learn from the UK how not to rely on heartless scientific false prophets like Dr Neil Ferguson and how not to trash an entire economy as the UK has done.
Reading the debate in the House of Commons on Covid-19 on 16th March, it is startling how every comment ab out the economic effects of lockdown measures focussed entirely on how much taxpayers support there could and should be for those losing their jobs. Not one MP, with the sole exception of Jeremy Hunt, wondered, let alone suggested, it might be better if the electorate did not lose their jobs in the first place.
Wales jumps the gun
Even now, speaking about the Chancellor’s offer of taxpayer support for some charities, shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds said: “While this announcement is welcome, it falls far short of filling the financial black hole many organisations are facing. Ministers should continue to look at what additional measures can be made available.” There was not a word of recognition that it is the lockdown which is causing all the problems.
In Wales, the lockdown will be extended into next week, the first minister has confirmed. Mark Drakeford said Wales must “not throw away gains” made against coronavirus “by abandoning our efforts just as they begin to bear fruit”. He expects other parts of the UK to do the same. For a nation so dependent on tourism and farming his remarks are irresponsible. But he will not be among those wondering where the next meal is coming from.
But Chancellor Rishi Sunak declined to say whether the UK government will follow the Welsh Government in extending the coronavirus lockdown. They will not now decide whether or not to extend the lockdown on Easter Monday, but have to decide before Thursday 16th April, just a week today.
Germany: economy will fall 9.8%
The Daily Express has reported: ‘GERMANY’S economy is forecast to plummet by a massive 9.8 percent in the April to June quarter in what would be its biggest fall since records began in 1970, as Angela Merkel faces up to a disastrous recession triggered by the coronavirus crisis.’ Or, rather, by the various lockdown measures in Germany. In fact the Express report is wrong in one statistic. They say, ‘ Germany has reported nearly 110,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and almost 11,000 deaths – fifth only behind the US, Spain, Italy and France.’
Worldometer puts the figures yesterday at Cases: 110,698 Deaths: 2,192. Today it is 114,257 and 2,349. Interestingly, the state with the most server lockdown, Bavaria, also has the highest number of deaths, at 564 to date. But if Germany is looking at a 9.8% fall in its economy, what is the UK going to resemble?
Who benefits?
We continue to speculate who benefits from the absurd measures government have introduced all over the world. At the moment, it seems bankers, medical equipment manufactureres and pharmaceuticals. We intend to take a look at Mr Bill Gates and Melinda’s Foundation next week.
We do not view the Covid-19 virus as the judgment of God. Nevertheless, the reaction of all the world elites might well be. The Bible says:
2Thess 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
US Martial Law threat
Cheyenne Mountain Complex
But here’s strange. In the US, ‘Northern Command’ (NORTHCOM) oversees the US, Canada, Mexico and Peurto Rico.
Off-Guardian suggests its head, Air Force General Terrence O’Shaughnessy, is ready to assume de facto presidency in martial law.
RT reports the general and several other top brass are now holed up deep underground in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. They say it is ‘a warren of tunnels buried under 2,000 feet (610m) of granite, and sealed behind blast doors designed to withstand a 30 megaton nuclear explosion.’
Off-Guardian also shows that the UK Coronavirus Act will not necessarily expire in two years. Many worrying provisions will not expire at all, including government legal indemnity for any harm done when a patient is being treated for Covid19 or ôsuspected Covid19ö. In addition, section 89(3) says: ‘A Minister of the Crown may by regulations make transitional, transitory or saving provision in connection with the expiry of any provision of this Act.’ In other words, a government minister may simply over-ride the expiry of any ‘temporary’ part of the Act.
Wuhan propaganda video
Meanwhile, the BBC is airing a video entitled “Coronavirus: ‘Please learn from Wuhan’s mistakes’.” It is worth watching as a master-class in propaganda.
In fact, there is nothing about any mistakes made in Wuhan, except perhaps that medical supplies were late in arriving.
Otherwise, well, would you expect any nice decent-looking middle-class Chinese person to go on video and say their government was wrong? “I hope people can learn from Wuhan,” says a girl wearing a mask at the end, “so that others don’t have to sacrifice as much and fewer mistakes are made”.
Some hope here, barring a miracle.
Ignoring the lockdown!
In Manchester, the BBC reportthe Police shut down 660 parties last weekend.
Meanwhile, Harrogate is ‘disregarding’ stay at home advice. Police say the spa town residents are showing a ‘blatant disregard’ for ‘stay at home’ advice. The BBC reports: ‘North Yorkshire Police said it was disappointing and meant the force would be stepping up patrols in the area.’
If the Government left it all to people’s good sense, none of this police heavy-handed approach would be needed. How much better it would be to have the consent of the people:
Neh 11:2 And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Doctor Fake News
Finally, a story about ‘Christian Doctor Overseeing Boris Johnson Asks For Prayer’ is almost certainly fake news. Unnamed doctor, no verifiable source, there actually isn’t a ‘Chief Consultant in Critical Care at St Thomas’s Hospital’ (https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-services/critical-care/team.aspx), and above all no doctor would blast all over the internet that he is trying to lead a named patient to the Lord!
Let alone the clinical director of pulmonary medicine, Dr Richard Leach, who is the real doctor overseeing Mr Johnson’s care. I should not be surprised if Dr Leach is a Christian, as many doctors are, but there is no record of him being attached to Metropolitan Tabernacle, even if he is washed in the precious blood. Please do not forward such a message if you receive it.

It is not coronavirus which is destroying the UK like Egypt's Biblical plague of locusts, but the universal social distancing mandated by the Government.
It is not coronavirus which is destroying the UK like Egypt’s Biblical plague of locusts, but the universal social distancing mandated by the Government. The Plague of Locusts, illustration from the 1890 Holman Bible
Christian Voice continues to say the Government is over-reacting to Covid-19 and should simply advocate isolating anyone frail or with a susceptible medical condition. We remember the ‘figures’ depend on the information the experts put into the model in the first place. We advocate more available testing, as per South Korea.
‘Egypt is destroyed’ said Pharaoh’s advisers. The Government simply have not assessed the impact of their measures (not ‘the virus’, but their measures) on the economy. Or if they have they aren’t telling us. But then again, Rishi Sunak’s loan guarantee gives the game away. More on all this below.
We are praying and confessing this verse:
Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that waiteth at noonday
Remind the Lord of his word and pray that over yourself and your family. However, how good it would be if our Queen and Prime Minister confessed it over the whole United Kingdom? Keep praying for fear of God, not fear of a virus, to be the position of Her Majesty’s Government.
Nadine’s mum is recovered
Both Health Minister Nadine Dorries MP and her 84-year-old mother recovered quickly from Covid-19
Let us say again, it is only people with underlying health conditions who need to keep indoors and avoid social contact.
‘Surely it is better to lock down everybody of any age with underlying health problems – as well as the very elderly – and expect the rest of us to keep the economy going,’ she said.
Two days ago we reported Health Minister Nadine Dorries MP had passed Covid-19 on to her 84-year-old mother. We are happy to report that just a few days later, her mum has made a full recovery, as did Nadine.
Michel Barnier, the head of the EU task force handling the post-Brexit relationship with the UK, has tested positive for coronavirus. He’s apparently a devotee of exercise, mountain air and healthy eating and, guess what, he’s feeling fine.
Testing
South Korea dealt with the virus better than most by widespread testing. In the UK, testing is belatedly being scaled up. Will we all be offered it on demand as in South Korea? Don’t count on it.
So actually, what we are not hearing from Gov.uk is that thousands more people have been infected than we think and they have all got better.
Life must go on
Anjana Ahuja: Life must go on
Miss Ahuja went on: ‘Even in a pandemic — perhaps especially so then — some semblance of life must continue. Food supply chains must function; hospitals and care facilities need to operate at full steam. In order to keep hospitals staffed, schools need to stay open if feasible. In any case, schools act as informal quarantines — and provide a psychologically comforting routine.’
In addition, depriving people of their income results in impaired health outcomes:
‘The instinct to shut society down, as China did with Wuhan, is not cost-free when it comes to public health. Maxwell Smith, an ethicist at Western University in Ontario, points out that compulsory quarantine, school closures and a disrupted economy inflict social damage that can affect health further down the line. “China will feel the effects [of a shutdown] for years,” he said.’
Economic Assessment
We are still waiting for a UK government assessment of the economic impact of their corona virus measures. No, not an assessment of the impact of the virus. Rather of the impact of their unwarranted shutdown of large sections of British life.
But to get some idea of what they think it is going to cost, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced on Tuesday evening £330bn of loan guarantees. The Government thinks British businesses are going to need £330bn of loans to get them through. Those are loans which must be repaid. And £330bn is 15% of our Gross National Product. The Chancellor thinks the economy is going to take a 15% hit. And who will benefit? That’s right. The bankers.
Worse than Second World War
London-based Capital Economics says the UK economy could shrink as much as 20% in the next three months alone. Metro reported the story as: ‘corona virus triggers a “big recession”‘.’ But once more, the research company said. ‘This is due to the introduction of new government measures against the virus, such as closing pubs, restaurants and theatres, which will ‘significantly reduce economic activity’,’ according to its chief economist, Paul Dales.
‘He continued: “With the peak of the virus yet to come, it is clear we are in the early days of a big recession. As such, our previous forecast that GDP would fall by 2.5% q/q in Q2 is no longer fit for purpose.” With chunks of the economy grinding to a halt, including hiring and investment decisions, the GDP could fall by between 10% and 20%, Mr Dale added.’
Metro went on: ‘Budget forecasters now believe the scale of borrowing needed to pull countries out of a corona virus-caused economic crisis could resemble the large amounts of debt taken on during the Second World War, Reuters reports. By 1945, Britain’s national debt had exceeded 200% of GDP, resulting in the government turning to the US for financial assistance.’ But this time, the disaster is largely self-inflicted.
London Transport all but shuts down
Tooting Bec Tube Station is closed. Why?
People are being urged not to use London Transport unless they really have to, apparently in order to allow essential workers to get to work. So normally, doctors and nurses cannot get to work? It’s nonsense. We heard a story just today from a Kenyan in London who reported there was only her and the driver on a bus which would normally be packed with people going about their business.
Meanwhile, London Transport closes forty stations on the Underground. They have one thing in common, the Evening Standard reports. They are not interchanges. So an essential health worker can change at Vauxhall. But he then cannot get off at Tooting Bec to walk up to St George’s. Why? No-one says. Methinks those in power are punishing those revellers who were celebrating St Patrick’s Day on Tuesday evening all over London. Some were chanting ‘To hell with corona virus’, or words to that effect.
School closures
As for school closures, the BBC is still running interviews with parents who think this is very sensible. It isn’t. Why, in the early stages, did the Government not spell out loud and clear to us all that school children in general are the lowest risk group for even catching Covid-19, let alone becoming a serious case?
For example, a 16-year-old girl interviewed by the BBC about the cancellation of examinations (can you believe that?) let slip she had been self-isolating. ‘Oh really’, said the presenter, ‘Was that for corona virus?’ ‘Yes,’ replied the girl, ‘I had a bit of a cough and a temperature for a couple of days. Not very nice.’ That was it. For the under-tens in particular, there have been minuscule cases in China and not one death in that age-group. There was no need to close schools and every need not to. (On the bright side, closed schools will not be indoctrinating children with homosexuality and transgenderism…)
Instead, the Government have given their best Chicken Licken impersonation.
Cancelled operations
Meanwhile, the Health Secretary’s right-hand man has told NHS hospitals to cancel operations in an effort to free up 30,000 beds to create space for an expected surge in corona virus patients. In a letter to NHS bosses today NHS England’s CEO, Simon Stevens, said hospitals should cancel all non-urgent surgeries for at least three months.
Mr Stevens hopes to stop the health care system becoming overwhelmed during a potential surge of COVID-19 cases. So far, today, Worldometer says there are 2,689 confirmed cases in the UK and there have been 128 tragic deaths. I am praying those 30,000 beds are not needed. But as noted above, thousands more who have had Covid-19 at home and recovered do not register in the statistics and did not need a hospital bed.
Give an account
Luke 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
It should be that the Government would give an account of themselves. But as with the Skripal affair, no-one on the Opposition benches appears willing to break ranks with the establishment line and demand answers. We may have to wait for a month or two before they realise the sky has not fallen down and that the Government over-reacted and brought the United Kingdom economically and socially to its knees for no reason at all.

Slide 14: So UK Public authorities now have a duty to promote homosexuality and transsexualism.
This is the 48-slide PowerPoint presentation Stephen was able to give to Kenya Christian Professionals, clergy, activists and dignitaries on 13th November in Nairobi.
Slide 1: Christian Voice UK: Praying for National Repentance, Working for Godly Government.
Slide 2: What we do: (1) We research and analyse events against scripture. (2) Our members pray for and witness to MP’s and those in public life. (3) We go on the streets leafleting with Evangelistic Prophetic Witness, such as when London Zoo held ‘Gay Sunday,’ a party for homosexuals, or as we did in Nairobi at the UNFPA Summit.
Slide 3: Marie Stopes abortion ‘clinic’ in south London – we kill 544 unborn children, legally, every day in GB. In America, they murder 3,700 each day. Slide 4: Marie Stopes Kenya – Clinic in Malindi. MSK stays open in Kenya by pretending they only offer contraception and post-abortion care. Marie Stopes abortion clinics operate openly all over Kenya.
Slide 5: However, a young British doctor, Linden Stocker, wrote this on the website of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2011: ‘Whilst I was in Kenya I managed to organise spending 2 days a week at the Marie Stopes clinic in Kisumu. … They perform safe, completely illegal abortions for a cost equivalent of about £30.’ The cost in Kenya of a Marie Stopes abortion has since risen to around 10,000 Kenya Shillings.
Slide 6: Marie Stopes Kenya have over 20 clinics, from Kitale to Nairobi to Mombasa. MSK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marie Stopes International, the world’s second biggest abortionist after IPPF. Moreover, KSh 10,000 is a fraction of the true cost of an MSK abortion. Marie Stopes abortions in Africa are heavily subsidised by the West. The UK Government leads the rest with a grant to MSI in 2018 of £48 million of taxpayers’ money. (NB: The Church in Kenya could close Marie Stopes by constant prayer vigils outside its facilities.)
Slide 7: Unborn baby at just 8 weeks Slide 8: Effects of suction abortion on African-American babies of (from top left) 7, 9, 10 and 11 weeks.
Slide 9: The Bible says: Num 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Jer 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Slide 10: Homosexuality was legalised in the UK in 1967. Today, 100,000 homosexuals parade through London.
Slide 11: Jesus said: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Slide 12: Legalising homosexuality soon leads to Gvt promoting it. United Kingdom’s Equality Act 2010: Section 148 Public sector equality duty (1) A public authority must, in the exercise of its functions, have due regard to the need to- (a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act; (b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; (c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it. (4) Having due regard to the need to foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it involves having due regard, in particular, to the need to- (a) tackle prejudice, and (b) promote understanding.
Slide 13: (6) The relevant protected characteristics are: age; disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation.
Slide 14: So UK Public authorities now have a duty to promote homosexuality and transsexualism.
Slide 15: Public authorities include Ministers of the Crown, Government Departments (except MI5, MI6 and GCHQ), The Armed Forces, National Health Service, County Councils, Police, Schools, Colleges and Universities.
Slide 16: Homosexual Police leading the London Gay Pride Parade. Slide 17: The police officer here in the front row of the Brighton Gay Pride Parade is the Chief Constable of Sussex. Note the homosexual desecration of the Union Jack. Slide 18: 5-year-old children are being subjected to homosexual propaganda at schools in England under the guise of ‘Relationships Education’ and transgenderism is being promoted. It’s very similar to the Comprehensive Sexuality Education demanded by UNFPA across Africa.
Slide 19: So, the UK then exports those evils. What David Cameron told homosexual activists at a party he gave for them in No 10 Downing Street on 22nd June 2011: ‘… an area where we have the ability to make progress, is the fact that gay people can be appallingly treated in other parts of the world, particularly in Africa.’
Slide 20: ‘(Foreign Aid) also has a spin-off benefit of giving us some moral authority (sic) in the world to talk to other leaders and governments about our relationship with them and what we expect from them. I’m very proud of the fact we [put] huge pressure on the leader of Malawi about an issue in that country but I‘m convinced we can do more. We have got the ability to speak to African leaders, African governments, about this issue that I know concerns everyone here tonight. And it concerns me.’ (David Cameron, UK Prime Minister)
Slide 21: Even before Mr Cameron’s speech, the Department for International Development had been promoting feminism and immorality in Africa: Social Marketing of Condoms [103545] To increase adoption of safer sexual practices among youth. Country: Kenya Budget: £15,031,330 Start Date: 01/01/2003
Slide 22: Young Voices for Change (SRH Rights and HIV/AIDS) CSCF345 [105559] Young Tanzanians (10-24) know, promote and enact their sexual and reproductive rights, including with regards to HIV/ AIDS. Budget: £499,934 Start Date: 01/04/2005
Slide 23: Western money is promoting wickedness across Africa: Not one African NGO promoting Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights (that’s abortion, LGBT and feminism) is African-funded. Every single one has its staff and expenses paid by the West. So let’s follow the money …
Slide 24: Rich US homosexual Jon Stryker set up the ‘Arcus Foundation’ to advance gay rights world-wide. He admitted the money going to Africa to promote sodomy was around $12,000,000 / year from NGO’s alone in 2010. How much is flooding in today?
Slide 25: 2015-16, top ten funders of money to Sub-Saharan Africa for LGBT (Source: ‘Global Resources Report): 1 Government of Sweden $14,454,266 2 Open Society Foundations (Soros) $4,097,626 3 Hivos (Netherlands) $3,218,406 4 American Jewish World Service $3,084,250 5 Arcus Foundation (USA) $2,716,639 6 Government of Norway $2,537,539 7 UHAI-EASHRI (Kenya) $2,323,769 8 Government of Denmark $2,166,635 9 Ford Foundation (USA) $2,144,550 10 Global Equality Fund (USA) $2,033,860 Total for just the top ten: $38,777,540
Slide 26: 2015-16, top recipients of money for LGBT (Source: ‘Global Resources Report) include: 3 Dept for Int Dev (RSA) $5,424,750 9 IPPF (London) $3,641,407 10 UHAI-EASHRI (Kenya) $3,497,086
Slide 27: Note above, Nairobi-based UHAI-EASHRI was listed as a donor of $2,323,769 in 2015/16 but a recipient of $3,497,086. A cool $1.1m went on their ‘6-25′ staff and office expenses. UHAI EASHRI, established by Ford Foundation in 2009, claims to be ‘Africa’s first indigenous activist fund for sex workers and sexual and gender minorities’. But it is entirely funded by the West, not just by Ford Foundation (US), but Sigrid Rausing Trust & Baring Fdn ( both UK), Astrea Lesbian Fdn, Tides Fdn, Arcus Fdn, Urgent Action Fund, Atlantic Philanthropies, Fdn for a Just Society (all US) and others. (‘UHAI’ is an acronym but also means ‘life’ in Swahili.)
Slide 28: In an article on Saturday 23rd November 2019, the Nation newspaper revealed ‘Kenya’s best and worst paying jobs’ It said: ‘foreign-backed NGOs employed a total of 1,345 staff and 270 of them earned more than Sh100,000 monthly, making the agencies a magnet for those seeking or wanting to change jobs.’ Nowhere is that more true than in Kenya’s immoral NGOs.
Slide 29: In January 2011, The European Union gave a 300,000 Euro grant to promote gay rights in Cameroon to a group of pro-gay CSO’s led by the ‘Association to Defend Homosexuals‘. Cameroon’s Foreign Minister Henri Eyebe Ayissi summoned the head of the EU delegation in Cameroon to protest against the funding of groups that “violate the laws of Cameroon.” But the grant still went ahead.
Slide 30: Funding for Kenyan LGBT groups includes: Given to: National Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission (NG&LHRC): (Yes, there is such a group!) By: Sigrid Rausing Trust (UK): £180,000 over three years (2016-19).
Slide 31: The accounts of NG&LHRC show its total income in 2016 was Ksh 15,976,147
Slide 32: Here’s the NG&LHRC logo, desecrating the Kenyan flag.
Slide 33: There is also a ‘Gay & Lesbian Coalition of Kenya’ (G&LCK) which received $100,000 from Arcus Foundation in 2019. It also received funding from Open Society Foundations, Astrea, Hivos, UHAI, Coalition of African Lesbians, Kenya National Commission for Human Rights, Kenya Human Rights Commission, Kelin Kenya, National Coalition of Human Rights Defenders (Kenya), and the International Commission of Jurists, Kenya Section.
Slide 33: Kenya Human Rights Commission: From Sigrid Rausing Trust (UK):£100,000 in 2019. Also, ‘The KHRC relies on donations from individuals and from organisations such as:’ the Swedish Int. Dev. Agency, Christian Aid, Trocaire, Danish Int. Dev. Agency, UN Dev. Programme, UNIFEM, Canadian Int. Dev. Agency and Ford Fdn. It started as a genuine human rights group, but in May 2011 the KHRC issued a report which called on the government to decriminalise homosexuality. That’s when the funds started rolling in.
Slide 34: Since 2012, the Kenyan Human Rights Commission has been primarily funded by the Ford Foundation of the USA at $200,000 per year. The KHRC even wanted to bring in a Hate Crimes Law in Kenya to prevent pastors preaching against homosexuality. Chairman: Prof. Makau Mutua Executive Director: George Kegoro
Slide 35: George Kigoro in full flow.
Slide 36: Prof Matua was in Kampala in 2010 in February at a conference – again funded by the Ford Foundation – to oppose David Bahati’s Bill against promotion of LGBT. The Ford Foundation is just one of around twenty NGO’s giving money to Ugandan gay groups. But let’s get back to Arcus Foundation …
Slide 37: In 2018, Arcus gave ‘more than $15 million’ ‘to organizations working to advance social justice for LGBT people around the world.’ Recent funding from Arcus Foundation alone to LGBT-advancing groups in Kenya: 2019: Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya $100,000 2019: Persons Marginalised & Aggrieved (PEMA – Mombasa) $140,000 2019: Transgender Education and Advocacy: $100,000 2014-2018: Pembizo Christian Council $391,000 (to ‘create counter-narrative to condemning religious voices’) 2011-2018: UHAI EASHRI $1,720,000: (‘funding for LGBT biannual conference in Africa. For Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.’)
Slide 38: 2016: Network of African National Human Rights Institutions (NANHRI) Nairobi $200,000 (‘Support to the African regional platform of government-appointed human-rights institutions seeking to include LGBT rights as human rights, with a pilot project in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, and Uganda.’) 2013-2016: Other Sheep Africa $140,000 (‘to increase LGBTIQ acceptance within the Muslim community in 12 provinces of Kenya.’) 2016: The East African Documentary Film Fund $20,000 2014: Chemchemi Ya Ukweli (‘Fountain of Truth’!) $50,000 (Together for Transformation project, pilot LGBT training program for Muslim & Christian religious leaders.)
Slide 39: 2010 – 2012: Fahamu (Nairobi) $458,066 (‘Strengthen and expand African LGBT movement … partnerships, … with African governments and private multi-national and other corporations in collaboration with UHAI-EASRHI.) 2010: Akiba Uhaki Foundation $200,000 (‘support of the programmatic and convening activities of UHAI-EASRHI Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.’) (‘Akiba Uhaki’ sort of means ‘supply justice’.) Plus South Africa LGBT projects in: Western Cape Provincial Council of Churches, Inclusive & Affirming Ministries, Southern African Christian Initiative.
Slide 40: Western politicians want Africa to end up with gay parades like this.
Slide 41: Immoral NGOs operate openly in Kenya: Planned Parenthood Federation of America: Chaka Place, 1st Floor, Chaka Rd, Nairobi International Planned Parenthood Federation: Senteu Plaza, 3rd floor Lenana/Galana Rd Junction, Naiobi. (Planned Parenthood Global is advertising in The Nairobi Star newspaper for a youth worker right NOW – Nov 2019.)

Slide 44: Urgent Action Fund Africa: 2nd Floor, Riara Corporate Suites, Riara Road, Kilimani, Nairobi. Fahamu Africa – Head Office: Block C, 3rd Floor, Peponi Plaza, Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya.
Slide 45: To stop evil coming from the West, we recommend: (1) African, Asian and Caribbean members unite at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the next is in Kigali, Rwanda in June 2020, and put down resolutions defending life and family. (2) Forums like the African Union and the Caribbean Union should state their rejection of immorality and foreign aid intended to corrupt public morality. (3) Make it clear at diplomatic levels that aid donors must respect traditional family values. (4) Bring in local laws to prevent promotion of evil.
46 Local laws need to be passed to prevent money intended to promote sodomy and abortion in Africa from reaching its targets. We suggest: (1) Make it illegal to corrupt public morality – in particular to promote LGBT or abortion. (2) Proscribe the foreign NGO’s involved and deny their representatives visas, (3) Require local recipient organisations to open their accounts to discover their income, (4) Seize foreign monies promoting immorality.
Slide 48: Christian Voice UK: Praying for National Repentance, Working for Godly Government.
Slide 47: Christian Voice is glad to address governments, civil servants, members of parliament across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean on this issue and provide information to resist immorality. More research needs to be done to identify all the governments, ngos, cso’s, projects and amounts involved. And, lastly, thank God Africa is starting to move, as they say in Ghana: Beyond Aid

Ambassadors of eleven nations held a press conference to condemn the ICPD25 Nairobi Summit and UNFPA
Ambassadors of eleven nations held a press conference to condemn the ICPD25 Nairobi Summit and UNFPA
A joint statement by eleven nations on the last day of the UNFPA Summit in Nairobi condemned UNFPA without mentioning the UN population agency by name.
The UN’s Fund for Population activities had hoped the jamboree would pass off without controversy. They wanted to counter ‘the push-back’ against homosexuality and abortion in the developing world. They would be disappointed.
(All our links open automatically in a new tab, on desktops & laptops, anyway.)
Press conference
Firstly, the United States, flanked by ambassadors from Brazil, Belarus, Egypt, Haiti, Hungary, Libya, Poland, Senegal, St. Lucia, and Uganda, held a press conference on 14th November 2019.
The US Special Representative for Global Women’s Health, Valerie Huber read a Statement. This reminded ‘both those gathered and those watching’ of the original aims of ICPD. The International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) was held in Cairo in 1994. Its stated objectives and actions seem dated now. They saw ‘critical challenges and interrelationships between population and sustained economic growth’. They placed it ‘in the context of sustainable development.’
Before the Statement, the Press Conference heard from Kenyan MPs Hon Chris Wamalwa, and Hon Jennifer Shamalla. Although Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy William Rutu steered clear of abortion and homosexuality when opening and closing the Summit respectively, these two MPs gave the press corps both barrels.
Parallel Conference
Secondly, Kenya Christian Professionals organised their own conference and also issued a statement. International ambassadors also addressed one session.
According to C-Fam, ‘The parallel conference included a high-level intergovernmental event with government representatives of the United States, Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Kenya and the Holy See Nuncio. They affirmed their governments commitment to policy that foster strong families and protects unborn life and criticized UNFPA for going beyond the mandate established at the ICPD 25 years ago.
The concern of the Eleven was that UNFPA and the Scandinavian nations behind the 2019 Nairobi Summit were taking the 1994 Cairo Declaration too far.
A pre-summit document from UNFPA spoke of an ‘ambition’. This was ‘how countries can move towards universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights’. That would be ‘an essential part of universal health coverage’.
‘Sexual rights’ is shorthand for liberalising laws against homosexuality, while ‘reproductive rights’ refers to abortion.
1994 Cairo Declaration
Helpfully, UNFPA itself carries the original 1994 Cairo Declaration on its website. There are three mentions of ‘reproductive health’. All are in the context of family planning. But national governments must respect ‘their own national and cultural identity, values and tradition’.
There is no mention of ‘reproductive rights’, ‘sexual health’ or ‘sexual rights’ in the Cairo Declaration at all. Consequently there is no ‘reproductive right’ to abortion’. However the Declaration was not explicitly pro-life. It called upon national Governments ‘to reduce the need for abortion by providing universal access to family planning information and services.’
Contraception increases abortion
The Declaration blithely assumes that ‘access to family planning information and services’ reduces ‘the need for abortion’. However, that is simply not true.
Eighteen years before Cairo, British abortionist Dr Judith Bury, of Brook Advisory Centres, let the cat out of the bag. In 1981 she said “…women…have come to request [abortions] when contraception fails. There is overwhelming evidence that, contrary to what you might expect, the provision of contraception leads to an increase in the abortion rate.”
Comprehensive Sexuality Education
The Nairobi Summit was also promoting what is termed ‘Comprehensive Sexuality Education’ or CSE. This assault on the innocence of children figures nowhere in the Cairo Declaration.
Indeed, education in the Declaration had one single purpose. It was set solely in the context of increasing the wellbeing of women and girls. It would do that by bettering their health-care and developing their opportunities. Yes, it spoke of the feminist mantra of ‘women’s empowerment’. But ‘sex education’ of any kind was not there.
ICPD Program of Action
The UNFPA draw heavily on the ICPD Program of Action. This document, parallel to the Cairo Declaration, runs to 296 pages. It does contain references to ‘reproductive rights’ but these are nowhere defined, let alone to include a supposed ‘right’ to abortion. Indeed, the Government of Honduras entered a reservation in the document to clarify matters. It said the terms “‘reproductive rights’ and ‘sexual rights'” … “do not include ‘abortion’ or ‘termination of pregnancy’.”
There is no reference to ‘legalisation of abortion’ or ‘legal abortion’. Indeed, the Programme states:
‘7.24 Governments should take appropriate steps to help women avoid abortion, which in no case should be promoted as a method of family planning, and in all cases provide for the humane treatment and counselling of women who have had recourse to abortion.’
Consensus
The Program of Action was passed by consensus. It was then ‘endorsed by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in its resolution 49/128 of December 19, 1994.’ ‘Consensus’ is important in interantional law. If enough nations agree on something it begins to have a certain standing.
Therefore the 2019 Statement of the Eleven nations clarifies this point. ‘UN Member States were able to join consensus because the ICPD Program of Action preamble paragraph 1.15 made clear that the conference did not create any new international human rights, and that “the implementation of the recommendations contained in the Programme of Action is the sovereign right of each country, consistent with national laws and development priorities, with full respect for the various religious and ethical values and cultural backgrounds of its people, and in conformity with universally recognized international human rights”.’
Ambiguous terms
When it came to the ‘rights’ element in the context of ‘consensus’ the Eleven did not hold back. ‘We are also concerned about the content of some of the key priorities of this Summit. We do not support references in international documents to ambiguous terms and expressions, such as sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), which do not enjoy international consensus, nor contemplates the reservations and caveats incorporated into the Cairo outcome.
‘In addition, the use of the term SRHR may be used to actively promote practices like abortion. There is no international right to abortion; in fact, international law clearly states that “[e]veryone has the right to life” (e.g. Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). ‘
No transparency
The 2019 Statement also condemned the Nairobi Summit for lack of transparency and inclusiveness. Cairo ‘was negotiated and implemented with and by the entire UN General Assembly membership’. In contrast, ‘only a small handful of governments were consulted on the planning and modalities of the 2019 Nairobi Summit’. (Mostly it was the Scandinavians.)
It follows, ‘outcomes from this summit are not intergovernmentally negotiated, nor are they the result of a consensus process. As a result, they should not be considered normative, nor should they appear in future documents as intergovernmentally-agreed language.’
Pro-family and pro-life nations will no doubt be on the alert for any sign of UNFPA language creeping in international documents. UNFPA will never bring its works to the light of the full UN. The Statement of the Eleven is clear. Without such universal acceptance, ‘no ICPD follow-on document has consensual weight or standing amongst governments.’
The value of Trump
It is worth saying that such a statement would never have been possible if Hilary Clinton had been elected President of the United States in 2016, the Statement of the Eleven would never have happened. It is only because of the staunch pro-life stand of the Trump administration that the 2019 Nairobi Summit was so roundly condemned.
So Almighty God plays a long game, and we should praise his name for all he did during the Summit. We were able to give out around 2,000 pro-life leaflets peacefully to delegates queuing for the Summit. Most were distributed on the opening day, Tuesday. And when we do the little things, we can leave it to the Lord to work miracles. The Statement of the Eleven is one of those things only God can organise.
Just remember, there is all to pray for as the US elections 2020 come ever closer.

Head teachers are gathering in a meeting today in Westminster to defend gay lessons in the wake of parental protests around pro-gay propaganda being given to primary school children.
The meeting is organised by the National Association of Head Teachers and hosted by Emma Hardy (Labour) MP for Hull West and Hessle. Homosexual activist Andrew Moffat, creater of ‘No Outsiders’ will attend.
‘Opportunities’ from New Regulations
Under a heading ‘School leaders’ parliamentary briefing on Relationships Education and equality’, the NAHT web page says:
‘Primary school leaders in some areas of the country have been the targets of campaigning, protests and abuse relating to their commitment to equality and diversity. LGBT+ inclusion has been the focus of these protests. Protesters have argued that this learning should not happen in primary schools and parents should be able to withdraw their children from it.
‘On 11 June, school leaders on the front line will provide first-hand accounts of the challenges and opportunities that the announcement of the new regulations has meant for them, within our school communities.

The notorious homosexual activist embedded as a teacher in a Birmingham primary school is to lead the city’s gay pride parade on Saturday 25th May, reports GayStarNews.
Andrew Moffat and ‘No Outsiders’
Andrew Moffat acts as assistant head at Parkfield Coimmunity School in Birmingham’s Alum Rock Road area. There he devised the ‘No Outsiders’ homosexual propaganda programme for use in primary schools. The activist has united local parents and the mainly-Muslim community against him.
In a direct challenge to parents, Gay Pride organisers have dedicated the whole event to supporting ‘No Outsiders.’ In addition they invited the activist himself to lead the parade. HSBC Bank are sponsoring the event. The theme is ‘Love out Loud’ according to an accommodation site dedicated to the ‘pink pound’.
Pages 8-9 of the ‘Pride Guide 2019’ (Click here to view) reveal that the parade will start at Victoria Square at 12 noon. From there it will aim for New Street. At the end it will take a left along the High Street. At Pandora Jewellery the parade will turn right into Carrs Lane. After a right turn into Moor Street it will head south to the ‘gay village’ around Hurst Street.
Christian Witness
The witness will be outside Pandora Jewellery in the High Street B4 7SH from 11am.
A Christian witness will assemble outside Pandora Jewellery from 11am. The aim will be to impact those parading with the truth of the Gospel. The fact that the parade is giving such prominence to both ‘No Outsiders’ and Andrew Moffat shows how important having gay propaganda in schools is to them.
And of course Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Education is all in favour of it, as we have reported.
Make a date to join the witness on Saturday from 11 am and stand up for righteousness and the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone can forgive and deliver those caught up in the homosexual lifestyle.

Protests spread

Protests against ‘No Outsiders’ have been spreading. The latest Birmingham primary school to see a mass truancy over Andrew Moffat’s monster is Anderton Park Primary in Birmingham.
On Monday 20th May 2019, six hundred children were kept away from classes. Here’s a report from the BBC. It reveals gay activists turning up at the school with rainbow flags to counter-protest. That again shows how important gay propaganda in schools is to them.
Click here for the Daily Mirror’s report. You will see the local MP Jess Philips flatly refusing to support the parents. The Honourable Member for Yardley is totally sold out to the LGBT agenda
For that matter, she is also a Remainer, supporting a second referendum. The Guardian has a video clip of her in the House of Commons saying she is ‘not scared’ of Leave voters. It is a peculiar thing to say, and she is barely articulate, but it leads us to our last point.
Similarities with Brexit
Which is the similarities between the RSE row and the Brexit debate. Those in power think they can simply ignore the people. With Brexit, the people voted to leave the European union. In 2017, the two major parties stood on manifestos which promised to deliver Brexit, Undaunted, politicians from each of them, from Theresa May down, are striving for any form of Remain.
Similarly, parents of faith or goodwill do not want their children indoctrinated with pro-sodomy attitudes. Education Secretary Damian Hinds, Amanda Spielman (head of Ofsted) and teachers unions think it is ‘vital’ they are. They are fully set on using Relationships and Sex Education for LGBT propaganda.
Moreover, in both cases the elite are finding out there is a limit to how far the people can be patronised and ignored. With Brexit, watch out for the Leave vote on Thursday 23rd May 2019. With Relationships and Sex Education, the education establishment are aghast as the protest spread.
