Does Sri Lanka have a death wish?

19 June 2024

A powerful UN committee is pushing Sri Lanka into legalising abortion under the guise of ‘Women’s Empowerment’.

The UN’s ‘Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women’ has drafted a Bill which will be debated in the Sri Lanka parliament tomorrow.

A parliamentary committee has approved the Empowerment of Women Bill which claims to facilitate the ’empowerment of women by implementing mechanisms to protect their rights’. But, of course, included in those supposed ‘rights’ will be an invented ‘right’ to abortion.

Rachel weeping for her children

Sri Lanka’s Sectoral Oversight Committee on Children, Women and Gender

The Bible says:
Jeremiah 31:15 Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

In that light, a right to kill their own children does not ’empower’ women, it diminishes them.

The Bill was approved with conditions at the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Children, Women and Gender. It will be debated in the Sri Lanka Parliament tomorrow, 20th June 2024.

We are urging Christian people both in Sri Lanka and elsewhere to pray for wisdom for Sri Lanka and its Parliament.

Women’s Empowerment Bill

The Women’s Empowerment Bill includes the following provisions:

Advancement and Empowerment of Women: Introduce mechanisms to secure women’s rights in accordance with the Constitution.

International Obligations: Implement measures to fulfill Sri Lanka’s commitments under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and applicable laws.

National Policy Implementation: Formulate and execute a national policy for the advancement and empowerment of women, ensuring timely interventions across all sectors and levels.

Protection Against Discrimination: Safeguard women from all forms of discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation.

National policy on gender equality

The Women Empowerment bill and the UNFPA National Policy on gender has one thing in common- ‘gender equality’.

The National Policy on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in Sri Lanka, was launched on International Women’s Day 2023.

It was developed by the Ministry of Women, Child Affairs, and Social Empowerment with support from UNFPA Sri Lanka and other UN agencies.

They claim the bill aims to ‘create a framework to guide and standardise laws, policies, and programs that promote gender equality and empower women across all sectors’.

UK promoting ‘Women’s Empowerment’

The UK has killed over 10 million pre-born babies since 1968. And you can be sure the UK has been exporting our current anti-life philosophy, bringing further judgment on us.

In a document from the British Embassy in Colombo, headed: ‘UK In Sri Lanka: #ChooseToChallenge for Gender Equality’, we read about ‘our policy advocacy’ and that the UK will ‘continue to work on a wide range of gender issues’. They say: ‘This includes … increasing women’s … empowerment.’

We have already reported on the UK Foreign Office financing pro-sodomy NGO’s in Sri Lanka. One can only imagine the row there would be if Sri Lanka were to be caught interfering in the internal affairs of the United Kingdom.

Gender policy or twisting the law?

Part of the National Policy on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment claims it seeks to promote gender equality. However, campaigners argue the draft policy aims to manipulate the law.

This concern is evident in a section of the document stating:; ‘Abortion is criminalised in Sri Lanka, unless to save the pregnant woman’s life.

‘While its legal status does not prevent women from seeking termination of pregnancy, it prevents women from seeking immediate medical assistance when complications occur and puts them at the risk of being charged for procuring illegal termination of pregnancy. As such, septic abortion has been one of the leading contributors to maternal deaths in Sri Lanka.

‘The basic health needs of LGBTIQ+ people and the general population are the same, yet their sexual orientation and gender identity acts as a barrier in accessing health related information and services, including reproductive health.

‘Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual Transgender Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI+) individuals are also often overlooked as victims of gender-based violence. Given the ambiguity in the law and punitive lens adopted by law enforcement against them, LGBTQI+ individuals and even commercial sex workers are cast outside of the regulated framework to access legal, medical and other support services. Female sex workers and their clients, men who have sex with men and injecting drug users are considered as vulnerable persons.

The Bible says,
Prov 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

President bows to gender pressure

Sri Lanka’s president Ranil Wickremesinghe has given in to the Western pressure of ‘woke gender ideologies’.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe in Parliament on 18th June raised a point of order, challenging the Supreme Court’s ruling against the Gender Equality Bill. He argued that the ruling infringes upon the legislative powers of the House.

Consequently, he called for the establishment of a Parliamentary Select Committee to examine the issue thoroughly.

President Wickremesinghe said:’First and foremost the bill says, what the national policy on gender equality and empowerment of women is referred to in this bill. At the least it’s hard to find out. It’s not specific as there is no reference in the bill. There has been a national policy on women’s empowerment and gender equality since 2011. These are obligations of the Government under the Sustainable Development Goals 5 and a number of women’s conventions and agreements that we have signed.

‘The Supreme Court cannot in any way go and make any ruling on this. Then they are contravening and coming into our area.

‘Secondly, there’s a large number of cases which have been given on the question of equality and equality of women. They have also ignored the special determination on the Penal Code Amendment, made by the Chief Justice. In this, we are talking of empowering women and ensuring equality for women’, he added.

President Ranil announced the bill on International Women’s Day with plans that the government will pass the bill by the end of June 2024.

The Bible says,
Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

‘Pathway to legalising abortion and prostitution’

Church leaders and a civil society group have warned that the Gender Equality Bill in Sri Lanka is a ‘pathway to legalising abortion and prostitution’ under the guidance of the United Nations in the island nation.

Cultura Vitae, an organisation dedicated to combating abortion and prostitution worldwide, said the proposed bill would erode the sanctity of marriage and family values.

‘The constitution guarantees equality before the law and equal opportunity for all persons. So, the question is: why is the UN pushing the government of Sri Lanka to enact a gender equality bill?’.

A letter to parliament

In a recent letter to a Member of Parliament, Dr. Eshan Dias of Cultura Vitae, expressed concerns over the Women’s Empowerment Bill in Sri Lanka. The bill which aligns with the United Nations’ Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), was gazetted on 7 March, 2024, and is scheduled for parliamentary discussion on 20 June, 2024.

Dr. Dias highlighted that the CEDAW Committee, comprising unelected radical feminists, responded to Sri Lanka’s eighth periodic submission by recommending significant legislative changes. These recommendations include legalising abortion not only when the pregnant woman’s life is at risk but also in cases of rape, incest, and severe fetal impairment, and decriminalising abortion in other cases. Additionally, the Committee suggested removing barriers to safe abortion services, such as the need for a judicial inquiry and a medical certificate.

Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council also instructed Sri Lanka in April 2023 to liberalise abortion laws.

Dr. Eshan criticised these directives from unelected UN committees, arguing that they undermine Sri Lanka’s sovereignty and existing constitutional guarantees of equality before the law. He contended that the bill, influenced by Western governments through UN agents, could lead to the legalisation of abortion, prostitution, birth control education for children, and the normalisation of homosexuality.

He urged for the bill to be defeated, emphasising that Sri Lanka already has common-sense laws addressing violence and discrimination, and does not need to adopt provisions from supranational conventions.

CEDAW

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), is a body of 23 members on women’s issues from around the world. A total of 151 experts have served as members of the Committee since 1982

CEDAW claims it watches over the progress for women made in those countries that are the States parties to the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

In other words, (CEDAW), is a body that promotes and pushes Western laws paraded as human right to countries they described as ‘States parties to the 1979 Convention’.

According to the 23-member body, a country becomes a State party by ratifying or acceding to the Convention and thereby accepting a legal obligation to counteract discrimination against women.

‘The Committee monitors the implementation of national measures to fulfil this obligation and also makes recommendations on any issue affecting women to which it believes the States parties should devote more attention’.

Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Pride goes before a fall

'Progress Pride' flags in London's Regent Street.

The depravity of trans ideology is becoming increasingly apparent as it takes over various aspects of society.

The Regent Street website, run astonishingly by the Crown Estate, thinks the proliferation of ‘Progress Pride’ flags on its patch is wonderful. But broadcaster James May describes them as ‘authoritarian’ and ‘oppressive’.

Social Media Platforms like TikTok are also at the forefront, promoting and glorifying sodomy and especially transgenderism to impressionable young audiences.

The influence extends beyond social media, infiltrating major corporations, the NHS, and other key institutions. This widespread promotion is not about ‘inclusivity’ but has taken a hedonistic and lustful turn, brooking, as Mr May observes, no dissent.

Tiktok in its “you belong here” article said: ‘We are inspired and uplifted by the vibrant diversity and talent of the LGBTQIA+ community on TikTok as they continue to create change, set trends, and empower over 1 billion people around the world. In honour of Pride Month, we are celebrating and recognising the collective visibility and power of our LGBTQIA+ community through You Belong Here, our 2024 Pride campaign.

‘Throughout this month, we’re thrilled to unveil a series of community celebrations and workshops, programmed hashtags, TikTok LIVE events and music playlists to celebrate our diverse LGBTQIA+ community on TikTok and beyond.

TikTok gives LGBT creators ‘new shopping social experience’

TikTok has unveiled its annual lineup of ‘Visionary Voices,’ claiming to spotlight talent and provide ‘LGBTQ’ individuals a platform to showcase ‘queer-led’ businesses on TikTok Shop.

However, this initiative, presented as support for the ‘LGBTQ+ community’, often includes the display of naked and mutilated men in public spaces, even in front of children. Why indeed do the ‘pride’ participants always prance about half-naked?

Such exhibitions raise serious concerns about the impact on young viewers and the broader message being sent.

We must not allow this resurgence of behaviour reminiscent of Sodom and Gomorrah to persist. It is crucial to protect the integrity of public spaces and ensure that support for any community is expressed in a manner that respects all individuals, especially the impressionable youth.

The Bible says,
Ezekiel 16:49,50 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy..And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

Nothing to be proud about

Dennis Kavanagh, veteran gay activist, has said Pride month, particularly this year’s, feels hollow to him because trans activists have high-jacked it at the expense of homosexuals:

‘In 2024, it’s hard to find any pride among the ‘LGBT activist’ community, as the betrayal of ‘gay youth’ in favour of gender ideology has become glaringly evident.

The Cass Review, released in April, uncovered the issues within the NHS’s treatment of ‘gender confused’ children.

It highlighted how the NHS’s Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS) pushed troubled, often youth into undergoing significant hormonal and drug treatments. When these young people, who were attracted to the same sex, needed support from the so called ‘gay rights movement’, they were let down.

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

Mr Kavanagh asked: ‘How effective can the ‘gay rights’ movement be if it permits the chemical castration of its future generation?

‘How powerful can a movement be if it tolerates the deplatforming, harassment, and dismissal of ‘lesbians’ such as Kathleen Stock or Julie Bindel for opposing gender ideology?’

As the Bible says,
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Pride is shame

Dr. Jordan Peterson, an outspoken critic of gender-affirming surgery, has said the annual ‘celebration of sexuality’ is foisted on people across the globe.

Speaking to FOX news he said, ‘You should be very careful what you name things, and “pride” is not a virtue”.

‘Pretty much all of it’s a lie, and it’s a dangerous lie, and it’s a lie with real monsters hovering on the edges. Pride is a cardinal sin, and there’s a reason for that.’

He went further to remind everyone the meaning of pride as being ‘something like stubborn refusal to change when evidence of error is accruing, and it’s not a good thing.’

Support Christian Voice →

Dr. Peterson said people object to his point by noting that LGBTQ people simply want to affirm their own identity, and they don’t mean “pride” the way it’s used when mentioned as a sin.

‘Fair enough, I suppose, to some degree, but that was the name that was chosen, and that’s the name that stuck. There’s a real tinge of narcissism, sexual narcissism, about the whole pride spectacle,’ he continued. “Do people have the right to express their sexuality the way they see fit? To some degree, if it’s consensual and among adults, but generally among human beings with any degree of civilised comportment whatsoever, it’s a pretty damn private affair.’

It’s also the case that identity based on something as narrow as sexual desire, let’s say, aren’t identities at all. They’re pronouncements of subjection to instinctual whim,” Peterson said.

The Bible says.
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Christians bear the brunt

Recently, Christians in the UK have faced increasing criticism and accusations of ‘hate speech’. Many have reported losing their jobs and positions for speaking out against sodomy.

This backlash reflects a significant shift in societal attitudes, where traditional views are often met with harsh consequences.

Parents are also grappling with the mandatory inclusion of age-inappropriate content in ‘comprehensive sex education’ programs. They feel compelled to let their children be exposed to topics they believe are unsuitable for their age. Additionally, children are now allowed to identify as any gender or even animal they choose, with schools introducing gender-neutral uniforms and teaching the concept that ‘love is love’.

These changes have sparked considerable debate and concern. The pressure on Christians for their beliefs and the push for progressive education reforms highlight the tension between upholding traditional values and ’embracing modern inclusive ideologies’.

Our Lord tells us what love is,
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Pray for Britain

As the UK prepares for its general elections, campaign promises have been made by the Conservatives to protect single sex spaces, women and girls, to eradicate the teachings of age-inappropriate content for children, checkmate ‘trans’ideologies and restore sanity.

As the Bible says,
Ecclesiastes 5:7-9 Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.

We must pray for whoever the Lord chooses to lead this country to do that with the fear and wisdom of God.

Isaiah 26:02 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Tories to rewrite their own Equality Act!

UK Christian Constitution

Makeda

6 June 2024

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak addresses the 2023 Conservative Party Conference

The Tories have promised to rewrite the Equality Act 2010 so that protections it enshrines on the basis of a person’s sex apply only to their biological sex.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the ‘safety of women and girls’ meant the ‘current confusion around definitions of sex and gender’ cannot be allowed to continue.

The Conservatives say their election pledge will make it simpler for service providers for women and girls, such as those running sessions for domestic abuse victims, to stop biological males from taking part.

However, one might well ask why they have taken 14 years and the advent of an election to propose these changes? And what responsibility do they bear for the Act itself?

Most importantly, what does the Bible say about all this?

How The Equality Act happened

The Equality Act was passed into law in the dying days of Gordon Brown’s premiership, in Spring 2010. But under its S216 (3) its provisions waited for a minister of the crown to approve them.

David Cameron became Prime Minister on 11th May 2010. It was on his watch that the Equality Act came into force on 1st October 2010. It was a minister whom he appointed who made the orders, entirely dependent on them, to inflict its provisions on Great Britain. And who was that minister? Step forward, Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equality, The Rt Hon. Theresa May MP.

The measures included mandating every public authority, from central government down to NHS Trusts, State schools, our armed forces, the police and fire brigades, to promote its ‘protected characteristics’ which include ‘gender reassignment’ and ‘sexual orientation’.

We are not making a party-political point, merely calling for honesty from politicians, and suggesting politicians might admit their responsibility for legislation they now criticise. The Bible says:

Prov 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

Prov 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Matt 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Heb 13:18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

‘Trans men’ to compete with fellow men

Minister for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch has said, ‘Transgender’ athletes may have to compete alongside their biological sex under the Conservatives’ plans to clarify equality laws.

In an interview with Sky News she said: ‘My party is “not giving instructions” to different sporting bodies, but rather “making it very clear what the law is, that there is a difference between identifying as a different gender and what your biological sex is’.

Asked what the law would mean in practice for transgender athletes, Ms Badenoch said it would not bar them from competing but in some cases they ‘may have to compete with their biological sex’.

Categories ‘there for a reason’

Mrs Badenoch went on: ‘We believe that sports is something where there are sex categories for a specific reason.

‘People compete in women’s sports because they’re biological women, not because they identify as women. It is for sporting bodies to be able to manage that’.

The Bible says in the King James Version:
Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

The Hebrew word ‘dal’ translated ‘poor’ actually means ‘weak’. Women are physically weaker than men. That is why they have their own sports categories. For additional reasons of modesty and safety, they also have their own spaces, toilets, prisons and so on.

When the Bible sys: Isa 47:3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen:

It is spoken as a judgment, and the theme persists in the writings of the prophets. Men are expected to protect and defend women, not take their sports medals and invade their private spaces:

Neh 4:14b remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

‘Equality Act change not needed’

Labour’s shadow defence secretary John Healey told BBC Radio 5 Live the change was not needed, adding that it was ‘an election distraction from the really core issues that matter to people’.

That is of course the sort of thing politicians say. They are human, they do ‘spin’.

Mr Healey said the Equality Act ‘already protects single sex spaces for biological women’ but acknowledged there was a need for “clearer guidance”, something he said Labour would produce.

The Tory proposals would also see UK government decisions on ‘gender reassignment’ applied across the UK, including Scotland.

Support Christian Voice →

‘Outright threat to devolution’

Scottish National Party leader John Swinney accused the Conservatives of being ‘on the war path against the Scottish Parliament and the devolved government in Scotland’.

The first minister said Conservative proposals to make gender reassignment a reserved issue for the UK government are “an explicit, outright threat” to devolution,

John Swinney told BBC Scotland News that the Tory election pledge to rewrite the Equality Act would ‘erode the powers’ of the Scottish Parliament in the process.

Again, this is only what we should expect him to say. It will be a welcome change when politicians of all parties are honest with the public and generous with their opponents.

The Scottish government’s gender recognition bill was blocked last year by the UK government, who said the draft law would conflict with equality protections that apply across the home nations.

A legal challenge to the veto was then rejected at the Court of Session in Edinburgh in December.

Nigel Farage: What does the Lord say?

Stephen

4 June 2024

The UK general election has sprung a surprise. Nigel Farage has announced he will stand as a candidate for the Reform UK Party in Clacton. He has also taken over the leadership of Reform UK. So let’s look at Mr Farage.

Stand and Fight!

In a press conference yesterday afternoon, he observed being elected would be difficult, but that: ‘If something is difficult, it doesn’t stop you doing it.’ He would rather ‘stand and fight’ than ‘stand aside’. I am reminded of what David’s army general Joab said to his brother Abishai:

2Sam 10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

Nigel Farage is certainly a larger-than-life character, and he is a human being, so he is flawed and subject to our human condition. Is he arrogant or merely self-confident? Brashness and directness are not sins, but any of us who want to succeed need humility before the Almighty.

Uphold Christian freedom and repeal ‘woke’ laws →

Criteria for Leadership

We are going to pray into this, but let’s first remind ourselves of the biblical criteria for leadership. Jethro told Moses:

Exod 18:21a Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people (1) able men, (2) such as fear God, (3) men of truth, (4) hating covetousness;

Well, I suggest to you that Nigel Farage may fulfil the third of Jethro’s criteria. He is straightforward. He answers questions. He seems to be a man of truth.

That’s different from so many of our current politicians. You may regard Kemi Badenoch as a breath of fresh air. But even she could not tell the truth about putting the Port Talbot steelmen out of work.

Covetousness vs ability

Mr Farage appears not to be covetous or out to enrich his pals. So that’s would be a contrast with what happened under the Tories with NHS Personal Protection contracts.

Is he an able man, the first criterion? He’s certainly very good at politics. He’s a gifted orator. He has been, as he says, ‘In this game for thirty years’.

If elected, he may find himself in his customary prophetic and activist role rather than in national leadership. That still needs ability from on high.

The Lord wants God-fearing men

But what about the second one, men ‘Such as fear God’? Well, earlier this year he said he had stopped attending church, blaming the Church of England’s ‘surrender’, as he put it, to the ‘woke agenda’. You may be in the same boat. That may even be a God-fearing position.

Some thirteen years ago, he said: ‘you can be Christian and fun or you can be Christian and be puritanical and want to control everybody.’

Of course, Christians don’t have fun, we don’t enjoy things, we are blessed by them. I’ve been really blessed by standing up in public for the Lord Jesus over the years. OK, it’s fun especially when you see the Lord move in power.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Standing against the elite

But look closely. When this Nigel talked about ‘puritanical’ and wanting ‘to control everybody’ perhaps he was talking prophetically not about Christians but about today’s World Economic Forum influenced political and media establishment.

They were controlling everyone during Covid, and now with Net Zero, and they are nudging you to think as they want you to over transgenderism, racism, geopolitics and climate change, to take just a few obvious examples.

Mr Farage says he is standing up for little people against the elite. Credit where it is due, if he is, and it is hard to discern anyone else doing that, that is a godly position. The psalmist says:
Psa 41:1 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Stand for Righteousness with the Holy Spirit

And from the Proverbs:
Prov 29:7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

Where do Reform UK stand on abortion, on sex education, on the UK promoting evil abroad? I am not sure we yet know. And where is a whole-hearted proclamation of our Christian constitution?

When you stand, even imperfectly or in part, for righteousness against the godless elite, you are fighting a spiritual battle. You cannot do that with one arm tied behind your back. You need the spiritual dimension. You need the Holy Spirit.

Prayer

So let’s pray: ‘Almighty God, you reign on high. Scripture says you put down rulers and set them up. You both remove and set up kings. You give wisdom to the wise and to the humble. We pray you do not deal with us after our sins, but instead, Lord, revive your work and in wrath remember mercy.

‘Raise up men after your own heart, my Lord, humble men who will seek your face for wisdom and proclaim Jesus as King of kings. Especially lift up and sustain God-fearing Christian candidates.

‘May your kingdom come and may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, in our land. For we pray all this from your word in Jesus’s mighty name. Amen.’

Rishi Sunak to bring back national service

Makeda

29 May 2024

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has proposed drafting 18-year-olds into some form of national service scheme.

Under the mandatory scheme, teenagers will have to enrol in the military for 12 months or spend one weekend each month volunteering in their community.

This initiative aims to instil a sense of duty and contribute to national security, reflecting the value of maintaining a peaceful and secure society.

The PM said: ‘The UK has generations of young people who have not had the opportunity they deserve’, adding that this measure will help unite society in an increasingly uncertain world’.

The Bible says,
Micah 4:4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

What is National Service?

National Service was introduced in the UK in 1949, with all physically fit males aged 17 and 21 having to serve in the Armed Forces initially for 18 months. However, in 1950 a further National Service Act lengthened the period of service to two years.

They then remained on the reserve list for another four years and during this time they could be called on to serve with their units but on no more than three occasions for a maximum of 20 days.

National Service ended in 1960, though periods of deferred service still had to be completed. The last national servicemen were discharged in 1963.

Who is exempt?

No one will be exempted from taking part in the National Service programme, not even the royals. Others will fit the scheme around their lives. There will be very limited deferments and none for university students.

Further, there will be no exemption for those who are in work. Also, being on a gap year abroad will not be a reason for exemption and those abroad will be expected to do their National Service alongside any travel. However, the Royal Commission will look at exemptions, including where people are already working in the military. But the starting point remains that all people serve.

The Royal Commission will also strive to ensure full participation. Weekend placements could involve roles within the NHS, fire or police services, or with charities dedicated to supporting older adults and combating loneliness.

National service ‘idiotic’

Jeremy Clarkson asserts that it would be better for young people to work on the land. He is quite right that British people don’t seem too enthusiastic about bending over to pick strawberries or waking up at the crack of dawn to milk cows.

‘Here’s an idea. Instead of national service, which is obviously idiotic, how about kids working on farms,’ Jeremy Clarkson said.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak has indicated, between the lines, that this modern form of national service will equip young people with valuable skills and opportunities for life. He claims it will foster a powerful culture of service, enhancing societal cohesion, and in a more uncertain and dangerous world, it will bolster our country’s security and resilience.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Four key aspects to this proposal

There are four key aspects to this proposal. Firstly, although unspoken, Mr. Sunak likely believes this initiative will attract votes, particularly from those whom Nigel Farage is steering towards Richard Tice and his Reform Party.

Secondly, working backwards, Mr. Sunak mentions that the world is more ‘uncertain and dangerous,’ though he doesn’t specify compared to when. He asserts that national service will ‘strengthen our country’s security and resilience,’ which is undoubtedly a positive outcome.

Thirdly, Rishi Sunak portrays this initiative as a means to foster a more cohesive society through a culture of service. Implicit in this statement is the recognition that society currently lacks cohesion. Perhaps he has observed instances such as pro-Hamas demonstrators freely marching through the streets, Jewish individuals living in fear, women hesitating to use changing facilities due to predatory behaviour from some male ‘transwomen’, or young girls being targeted by gangs.

It seems apparent that achieving societal cohesion will require more than just a few Saturday afternoons of 18-year-olds participating in community activities. Restoring unity around the United Kingdom’s Christian constitution, which serves as the only valid point of reference, may prove to be a more substantial undertaking.

The Bible says,
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Potential benefits for social cohesion

While the UK Prime Minister claims that the plan will foster a ‘national spirit,’ Home Secretary James Cleverly suggests it will help young people break out of their ‘bubble.’

The theory is that through military service or working with charitable organisations, young people will have the opportunity to develop civic pride and social responsibility.

They will also interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, form new social bonds, and cultivate mutual trust. This approach holds potential benefits for social cohesion in the future.

National service akin to slave labour?

There would only be 30,000 military placements available, with tests introduced to determine the selection of applicants.

The vast majority of 18-year-olds would have no involvement with the military. They would essentially be involved in the 12-month-long community-service programme.

The British Army lacks the resources, both in time and funds, to train hundreds of thousands of reluctant teenagers who have no desire to participate and will likely leave once their 12-month service is completed.

Managing unwilling conscripts would pose more challenges than benefits. Some have exaggeratedly claimed that even the voluntary aspect of the national service plan borders on fascism or resembles slave labor. Such assertions are plainly ridiculous.

Developed and democratic countries such as Russia, Sweden, France, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, Norway, Nigeria and others have national service or conscription programmes that are similar to what the Tories are proposing.

National service a priority?

While it’s commendable to use a revamped form of national service to instil a sense of national belonging and civic responsibility among young people, any potential gains could be undermined by the current economic, social, and political landscape that disadvantages them.

Young people face significant challenges in securing well-paying jobs and accessing the housing market. If the Tories are truly serious about fostering national belonging among our youth, they should be advocating for a fairer socio-economic framework—one that gives teenagers and young adults a genuine stake in society.

Why not offer more educational and vocational opportunities? Why not provide more affordable housing? These are critical issues that the next government must address before considering the reintroduction of national service.

Nicola Sturgeon admits to being ‘part of problem on trans issues’

UK Christian Constitution

Makeda

20 May 2024

Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon pontificates about the issue with Holyrood

Nicola Sturgeon: ‘a rat swimming to join a sinking ship’

Nicola Sturgeon has finally admitted that she was ‘part of the problem’ regarding transgender issues, which was one of the reasons she stepped down as First Minister.

The former Scottish leader said she had received more abuse for her views on trans rights than any other topic, as she condemned ‘despicable’ culture wars.

She suggested that the controversies surrounding her, especially the outrage over sending male rapist Adam Graham, who now calls himself Isla Bryson to a female prison, contributed to her resignation as First Minister.

Explaining her decision to resign, the 53-year-old told the Charleston literary festival in Sussex: ‘I think in politics you reach a point where you know in yourself that you don’t have as much to give anymore.

‘I also thought that politics in Scotland, like politics everywhere right now, is pretty polarised’, she said, adding that the country also has the divisive “independence issue” in the mix.

‘Everyone in Scotland has an opinion about me’

Nicola Sturgeon said:’It felt as if every issue people were coming at that issue in terms of how they thought about me – that felt true on the trans issue, it felt true on a number of issues – so I thought, well, if I take myself out of that maybe the politics, the discourse and the debate in Scotland will be a bit more healthy.

‘It hasn’t quite worked out that way, but yes that is why I decided to stand down’.

Ms Sturgeon said she had ‘got to the point where I thought I was part of that problem’ because there is no one in Scotland who ‘doesn’t have an opinion about me whether good or bad – and I’m not sure many people are indifferent’.

A rat swimming to join a sinking ship’

Nicola Sturgeon in one breathe blames herself for being ‘part of the problems on trans issues’ and in another breathe doubled down on her view that transgender women are women.

She said in the on-stage interview with ‘trans’ novelist and activist Juno Dawson that ‘people should be able to live how they want to be’.

Ms. Sturgeon warned ‘it seems like everyone in society is raining down on trans people’ and despite forming 0.5 per cent of the population, they were used as ‘a battering ram’ and that ‘gay people and other marginalised groups were becoming collateral damage’.

‘I’ve had more abuse hurled at me over the issue of trans rights than probably any other issue I’ve discussed, including Scottish independence probably, so it has been really, really difficult,” she added.

Leaders or liars?

Government officials have been on the fence about gender conversations, with some abandoning the ‘trans women are women’ phrase and others confessing to supporting the ‘trans’ ideology for political gains.

The Secretary of State for Education, Gillian Keegan said she will no longer use the phrase ‘trans women are women’, adding that she had ‘evolved’ and ‘learnt a huge amount more about this complex and challenging subject’.

Meanwhile, Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss said that she had described herself as an ‘LGBT’ ally in 2021, however, she had only done so to vocally oppose gender self-identity and keep ‘LGBT’ supporters ‘on her side.

Further, Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary in an interview with the Sun said, he was wrong to say all ‘trans’ women are women.

The question remains: how many more will come forward with their true feelings about ‘trans’ ideologies? How many more will accept the reality that humans are created male and female by God?

The Bible says,
Mark 10:06 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Government to end sex education for children under nine

Makeda

16 May 2024

The Government have announced their intention to stop schools giving sex education to children under nine.

Teachers will also have to tell pupils gender ideology is a contested belief.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the new guidance would ensure children were not ‘exposed to disturbing content’.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan told BBC Breakfast: ‘Biological sex is the basis of relationship, sex and health education – not these contested views’.

A ship adrift

However, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan has just said men who ‘transition to women’ are considered women.

Previously, Ms. Keegan stated that she would no longer say that ‘trans women are women’, adding that her stance had since evolved. However, in an interview with Radio 4’s Today program, she again said that it hinges on whether the individual identifies as the opposite sex or has obtained a gender reassignment certificate.

Ms Keegan said: ‘In the first instance, that person was not a woman, but in the second the person was, if only in a legal sense’.

Asked if she would say that people who had gone through gender reassignment were women, she said: ‘Well, this is what we should say. I personally believe if you have gone to that level of, you have got the gender recognition, you have got the reassignment, then you are legally and medically allowed to say that you are a woman’.

Gillian is like a ship adrift, with no anchor.

The Bible says,
Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast

Meanwhile, more Scottish parents are choosing homeschooling due to concerns about classroom violence, declining education quality, and what they see as excessive promotion of ‘LGBT’ issues in schools.

RSHE a threat to education

The Department for Education’s latest guidance acknowledges the risk posed by gender ideologies to children.

Teachers are advised against presenting disputed views as facts, including the idea of gender as a spectrum.

It also recognises that teaching children to question their gender could lead to unnecessary confusion.

The Cass Review highlighted the serious risks associated with ‘transitioning’ for children’s health and well-being.

These concepts should never have been part of RSHE classes.

Unable to define a woman?

John Swinney, Scotland’s new First Minister, has faced criticism for his handling of questions about whether he considers ‘trans women’ to be women.

Initially, he defined a woman as ‘an adult female born as a woman’, leading feminists to argue they are born as girls.

Mr. Swinney later stated, ‘I also accept that transgender women are defined as women’, without specifying the source of this definition. Despite his assurance that his government won’t endanger the safety of women and girls, feminist leaders found his response misleading and confusing.

Some critics accused him of playing word games reminiscent of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to avoid giving a clear answer.

This controversy arose after Swinney previously dodged the same question, drawing criticism from JK Rowling for his evasive tactics.

Stop transgenderism now! →

The question

It is not unreasonable to ask why there’s suddenly so much concern.The Conservative Party has been in power for fourteen years.

Rishi Sunak now voices worries about what children, the same age as his daughters, might be learning in schools. Has this realisation just dawned on him?

Why target children under nine, leaving primary schools to confront older students with overly explicit material?

The Bible says,
Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them 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.

Furthermore, why focus solely on sex education when propaganda and indoctrination creep in through relationship education? Why permit teachers to promote gender ideology at all? Why not simply declare it false and prohibit it? Why offer ‘guidance’ that schools can disregard, instead of enacting laws to enforce it?

Meanwhile, it wasn’t until the Cass Report that Gillian Keegan had a realisation and recognised the biological reality of male and female.

Additionally, why have they not yet repealed the Gender Recognition Act of 2004 and the Equality Act of 2010?

Uphold Christian freedom and

If the foundation be destroyed?

Lawmakers serve as gate keepers of this country. Therefore it is imperative they reflect on their arrogance and ignorance, humbly seeking the wisdom of the Lord.

Moreso, it is time to enact laws that align with God’s principles, instead of endangering children and the British people in pursuit of woke ideologies.

The Bible says,
Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Britain could reject WHO pandemic treaty

Makeda

14 May 2024

The World Health Assembly oversees the WHO

Britain is saying no to signing the World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty because it doesn’t want to give away a fifth of its vaccines, the Telegraph reports.

The WHO is halfway through talks among its 194 member states to agree on this pandemic agreement, first announced in May 2021. The UK says it is against any deal that would weaken its sovereignty. Pray the UK maintains its stand on this vital issue.

During the height of the Covid crisis, politicians including Boris Johnson panicked into proposing a binding document, a pandemic treaty, to tackle future global health emergencies.

The latest draft of this treaty requires all member states, including the UK, to share 20% of pandemic-related health products like vaccines and prohibits hoarding supplies like therapeutics and PPE.

On the matter of national sovereignty, the Bible says,
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

Watch our video:

WHO late in publishing draft treaty

World Health Organisation Logo

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has deviated from its own legal protocols by presenting draft amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) for consideration at the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA) this May without giving the required notice.

The final IHR amendments were meant to be circulated four months in advance of the vote to allow the 194 member states time to review them (Schedule 2, Article 55). However, updated versions of the IHR amendments presented in April 2024 were still in draft form, and were still being negotiated by the working group as late as last week.

The Bible says God rules over all:
Proverbs 8:15-16 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice…By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

Support Christian Voice →

The UK not ready to give up control

The WHO draft document states that the UN-run agency would get ‘real-time access’ to 10 per cent of these products for free, and 10 per cent ‘at affordable prices’.

According to the document, countries should ‘set aside a portion of its total procurement of relevant diagnostics, therapeutics or vaccines in a timely manner for use in countries facing challenges, and avoid having national stockpiles of pandemic-related health products’.

A source familiar with the negotiations said: ‘The UK could not accept these proposals in their current form , and they have not been agreed’.

The UK will only agree to a global agreement if it can control the use of its vaccines. While the UK is open to mutually beneficial collaborations, it won’t give up control over its own assets. Sharing healthcare items is considered a red flag in the talks over the pandemic treaty. Poorer countries want fair treatment, but richer ones worry about losing control to a global organisation.

A key part of the treaty, the WHO Pathogen Access and Benefits Sharing system, has been delayed to 2026 because countries can’t agree on how to share virus samples for research. Experts think the talks won’t solve all the disagreements, so they expect a basic treaty to be signed and formally adopted at the end of May.

“Misrepresented evidence”

Negotiations concerning two documents aimed at changing how pandemics and potential pandemics are managed have been ongoing at the WHO for the past 18 months.

These changes would concentrate coordination and decision-making within the WHO. As of early May, the amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR) and the proposed new Pandemic Agreement were still being discussed by the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (WGIHR) and the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) respectively.

Despite evidence showing a decrease in natural outbreaks and pandemic risks over the last one to two decades, negotiations are proceeding with unusual speed.

The Bible says,
Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

WHO breaking its own laws?

The COVID-19 outbreak, potentially linked to unnatural causes like gain-of-function research, and a WHO review of the pandemic response’s effectiveness not scheduled until 2030, are prompting concerns. Yet, national negotiating teams and the WHO are pushing forward with plans for widespread surveillance and mass vaccination using vaccines that skip normal clinical trials.

This approach is clearly problematic from a public health perspective. What’s even more puzzling is that the WHO is rushing to vote on these changes in just three weeks, disregarding its own legal requirements.

The WHO intends for its member states to vote on these matters at the 77th WHA without providing reference documents.

Planned votes violates Article 55 Amendments

The current Article 55(2) of the current IHR that provides:

1. Amendments to these Regulations may be proposed by any State Party or by the Director-General. Such proposals for amendments shall be submitted to the Health Assembly for its consideration.

2. The text of any proposed amendment shall be communicated to all States Parties by the Director-General at least four months before the Health Assembly at which it is proposed for consideration.

Therefore, this planned vote goes against Article 55(2) of the current International Health Regulations (IHR).

Nigel calls for withdrawal from WHO

Nigel Farage has criticised the WHOs Pandemic Preparedness treaty and called on the government to wake up to the risks of signing it.

Speaking on GB News Nigel Farage said: ‘I have often talked about the World Health Organisation, people I have absolutely no faith in whatsoever, with their annual budget of $7 billion every year and who did their best to hide the true causes of Covid.

‘They have scheduled for the end of May a conference at which they want us to sign up to a global pandemic treaty that would give them the right not only to tell us to lock down the next time they deem a pandemic, but also to take 20% of our stocks of any medicines or vaccines that we have, to spread around the world.

‘It is such a loss of national sovereignty that it is untrue. So far, it would appear that the British government is going to sign up to this.

‘Interestingly last night Senator Ron Johnson, Republican, managed to get all 49 Republican senators to write to Biden to say, ‘Do not sign this treaty. It would be a dreadful abrogation of sovereignty.’

Daily Sceptic reports on Australian Senators and MPs calling on their Prime Minister, Mr Albanese, to block the Treaty. Worth reading.

Single-sex toilets to be mandatory in non-residential buildings in England

Makeda

8 May 2024

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

Single-sex toilets will now be required in non-residential buildings in England, according to a new government directive.

New restaurants, offices, and hospitals will now be mandated to provide separate male and female toilets. The government claim these new requirements ‘aim to ensure that individuals of all genders have access to appropriate facilities’. But what exactly does the term ‘all genders’ mean?

This law mandates that newly constructed non-residential buildings must offer separate facilities, rather than solely providing ‘universal’ lavatories.

Access to appropriate facilities

The guideline states: ‘The new legislation follows the results of a consultation on the proposals, where responses showed 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities and 82% agreed with the intention to provide universal toilets where space allows.

‘A universal toilet is self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use’.

The government emphasises that these new requirements aim to ensure that individuals of all genders have access to appropriate facilities, whether through separate single-sex spaces or ‘universal’ toilets. While this is a commendable step by the government, we maintain that it also enables ‘trans’ ideologies. Gender identity is a lie sold to the public.

The Bible says,

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Stop Transgenderism: Petition →

‘Privacy denied’

Minister for Women and Equalities, Kemi Badenoch, stated that the move will help combat the rise of “gender-neutral” toilet spaces, which she said “deny privacy and dignity to both men and women”.

Last week, MS. Badenoch said girls at a school who did not have access to single-sex toilets developed urinary tract infections (UTIs) because they did not want to use gender-neutral toilets.

She asked people to report public bodies that fail to provide single-sex spaces or have policies not in accordance with the Equality Act. She did not name the school or further substantiate the claim.

The Equalities minister also said the move shows the government’s commitment to “ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all” after plans to overhaul the NHS constitution by limiting the use of gender-neutral wards.

Support Christian Voice →

What this means for England

These changes will mean patients in England will have the right to be treated on single-sex wards and ‘transgender people’ will be treated in single rooms.

In a statement about the legislation, Kemi Badenoch said: ‘Today’s announcement will also create better provision for women so that our particular biological, health and sanitary needs are met.

‘This is following our work last week limiting the use of mixed-sex wards in the NHS and demonstrates how this government is committed to ensuring single-sex spaces are protected for all.’

In England, government guidelines concerning young people in schools mandate the maintenance of separate toilets and changing facilities for girls and boys aged eight and above. These guidelines also permit staff and students to disregard pronouns preferred by socially transitioning children and allow for the segregation of sport and physical education activities by sex in cases of safety concerns.

While colleges are not bound by the same legal requirements, ministers stress that equivalent considerations regarding safeguarding should be upheld.

Dignity for women and girls

RT. Hon Lee Rowley MP, Minister for Housing, Planning and Building Safety

Minister for Housing, Lee Rowley, said the government is clear that single-sex spaces are essential for ensuring privacy and dignity for women and girls.

‘We know all members of society value safety, privacy and dignity, and this new legislation will help ensure the right facilities are in place for everyone.

‘It is vital that new buildings, particularly in public spaces, are serving the community with right toilet provision’,he added.

Meanwhile, Changes to building regulations will ensure that separate single-sex toilets facilities are provided for men and women. Also, self-contained, universal toilets may be provided in addition to single-sex toilets, where space allows.

Additionally, self-contained universal toilets may be provided instead of single-sex toilets only where lack of space reasonably precludes provision of single-sex toilet accommodation.

Same-sex toilet policy criticised

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which represents HR professionals, has criticised the government’s same-sex toilet policy.

The pro-trans institution said: ‘It is discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010 to prevent a trans person from using the bathroom they wish to.

‘Therefore, it cannot be routine practice to exclude trans people from same sex facilities and each case should be assessed on its own merits’.

Meanwhile, Maya Forstater, chief executive of gender critical group Sex Matters, said she plans to report CIPD to the Government over its approach.

She has specifically referred to the HR body’s official advice, which states that ‘refusing to allow a transgender or non-binary person to use the facilities they feel most comfortable in may be discrimination’.

Ms Forstater said: ‘We think the CIPD’s guidance on trans and non-binary should be scrapped and started again, it’s written in a way that sounds like it’s taking everyone into account but it’s not usable’.

Her comments come after Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch last week urged the public to give examples of state bodies failing to provide single-sex spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms and female-only gym classes.

Officials abandon ‘Trans Women are Women’ Phrase

UK Christian Constitution

Makeda

1 May 2024

Minister_Gillian_Keegan_UK_Parliament_ — Gillian Keegan, Education Minister

The Secretary of State for Education, Gillian Keegan has said she will no longer use the phrase ‘trans women are women’.

Ms. Keegan told the Telegraph, she had since ‘evolved’ and ‘learnt a huge amount more about this complex and challenging subject’.

In 2020, responsing to a question from an ‘LGBT’ forum in her Chichester constituency, the Education Secretary made the statement that ‘trans women are women’, adding that trans people should have equal access to safe spaces.

It comes after Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary in an interview with the Sun said, he was wrong to say all ‘trans’ women are women.

His u-turn follows the Cass review, which found that treatments for children questioning their gender are based on ‘remarkably weak evidence’.

Ms Keegan’s remarks followed Whitehall concern that she has not been strong enough, as Education Secretary, in standing up to the influence of trans rights activists in schools.

Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss claimed that she shouldn’t have previously described herself as an ‘LGBT’ ally.

In an interview with GB News, Ms. Truss explained that she had described herself as an ‘LGBT’ ally in 2021, however, she had only done so to vocally oppose gender self-identity and keep ‘LGBT’ supporters ‘on her side’.

Who can be trusted?

In recent years, there has been a noticeable trend in the UK where leaders have leveraged their positions to espouse woke ideologies, often with the aim of advancing political aspirations or gaining support for personal gains.

Liz Truss, Gillian Keegan, and Wes Streeting are a perfect example of this u-turn.

Often, irreversible harm may have been inflicted on individuals who embrace these woke ideologies.

The Bible says;
Proverbs 10:9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

50 per cent cap rule on faith schools to be axed

Gillian Keegan is set to axe the 50 per cent cap on faith schools, ending a policy that forces institutions to keep half their places open for children of different religions.

The Education Secretary is expected to announce the move this week, explaining that it will encourage faith schools to expand and create more “high-quality” places for pupils.

Meanwhile, Lord David Cameron introduced the cap while in the coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.

Under current rules, any new faith schools that are oversubscribed can only prioritise pupils based on faith for 50 per cent of its places.

When the cap was introduced, it was argued that it would stop the proliferation of hardline religious schools. However, ministers feel that the cap has had little impact and instead had the undesired effect of preventing Catholic schools from expanding.

Arrange a meeting at your church →

The Catholic church

The Catholic church has argued that turning away children of faith for non-Catholic children was incompatible with canon law.

The Catholic education service refused to participate in the free schools programme until the Government relented and repealed the cap.

Officials at the Department for Education believe lifting the cap will encourage Catholic schools – which are often highly sought after by parents – to set up new institutions and expand their existing provision by joining multi-academy trusts. The plans will be subject to a seven-week consultation.

The NHS to finally crack down on woke terminologies

After years of allowing Stonewall draft policies, the NHS is set to crack down on transgender ideology in hospitals, with terms like ‘chestfeeding’ to be banned.

Victoria Atkins, the Health Secretary, will this week announce a series of changes to the NHS constitution which sets out patients’ rights.

Referring to ‘people who have ovaries’ rather than ‘women’ will also be prohibited under plans to ensure hospitals use clear language based on biological sex.

The new constitution will ban transgender women from being treated on single-sex female hospital wards to ensure women and girls receive ‘privacy and protection’ in hospitals.

Patients will also be given the right to request that intimate care is carried out by someone of the same biological sex.

It follows concerns from patients about men being allowed in women’s hospital wards.

The new NHS constitution will emphasise the importance of using ‘sex-specific’ language in the health service after references to women were expunged from advice on the menopause and diseases such as cervical and ovarian cancer.

Health Secretary to back legalisation of abortion

Makeda

9 March 2024

The Health Secretary has expressed support for making abortion legal, as Members of Parliament are set to vote on changing the law for the first time in 30 years.

Victoria Atkins, in an interview with the Telegraph, indicated that she would back decriminalising abortion and creating buffer zones around abortion clinics.

MPs will vote on two changes to abortion laws this month. One would make abortion legal after 24 weeks, and the other would lower the time limit to 22 weeks.

Diana Johnson, a Labour MP, wants to change the law so women won’t be punished for having an abortion after 24 weeks. Her proposal has support from MPs of different parties.

The Bible says,
Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

“My voting record speaks for itself”

Victoria Atkins told the Telegraph: ‘I’m very conscious as Health Secretary that whatever the House decides if there is a vote, my department will be the one to either maintain the status quo or to deliver change.

‘And so at this stage, I’m not going to say anything publicly because I just want to see how the debate develops. But my voting record speaks for itself.’

Ministers have faced calls to repeal sections of a 19th-century law in England and Wales after abortion was decriminalised in Northern Ireland.

Birth rates hitting record lows across the pro-abortion West

Abortion advocates are actively pushing to secure the legal “right” to kill babies in the womb extending up to nine months. In the United States, Joe Biden is prioritising the issue of feticide in the 2024 presidential campaign, and Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a nationwide “abortion tour” to rally voters.

The U.K. is witnessing efforts to completely decriminalise abortion, while in France, the Senate recently voted to enshrine abortion in the country’s constitution.

This development is noteworthy in the context of an ongoing series of headlines highlighting a widespread concern in the declining birth rates. Recent reports include Canada experiencing its lowest fertility rate in recorded history, Spain seeing a 25 percent drop in birth rates over the past decade, and the United States witnessing a continued decline in births, with nearly half of women under 45 being childless.

The United Kingdom,is also grappling with a record-low birthrate.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Galations 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace.

A letter to MPs

Recently, Christian Voice National Director, Stephen Green, wrote to 50 MPs on the issue of abortion.

He wrote: ‘Our pro-life MPs are especially in our prayers for wisdom, and in these days, for safety.
You may not know, but earlier this month I was convicted for standing with a Bible verse (Psalm 139:13) in the Ealing Buffer Zone a year ago and am now appealing to the Crown Court. In the House of Commons, I am aware there will be amendments, both pro-life and pro-abortion, tabled to the Criminal Justice Bill at its Report Stage presently.

It appears to me that what is too often overlooked in debates on abortion is the question of what exactly is that in the womb of a woman presenting for an elective abortion. The humanity of the child in the womb, so beautifully expressed by the psalmist in my Ealing Bible verse, is, I believe, the pro-abortion weak spot.

Therefore we shall be praying that someone will stand to challenge each MP proposing decriminalisation to tell the House what precisely is it in a woman’s womb. A pregnant woman used to be described as ‘with child’. So if that is not a human being, can they kindly tell the House what it is?

Gaslighting the population

Stephen

6 March 2024

(Video Transcript:) I was going to spare you any comment on the Scarlet Blake / Fangze Wang affair, which is on our website anyway, but it’s still drawing comment, with the BBC’s Samira Ahmed agonising about it on Newswatch last Saturday morning (2nd March 2024).

Viewers have written, or emailed, in complaining about BBC reporters referring to this psychopathic bloke as a ‘woman’, not even prefixing with ‘Trans’. All the mainstream media did the same.

But an earlier piece on Saturday’s BBC news, where presenter Naga Munchetty interviewed MP Tobias Ellwood about threats to MPs without either of them once telling viewers where the threats were actually coming from, tipped the balance.

Questioning Reality

The media / political complex are manipulating us into doubting our own sanity, into questioning reality, into believing their absurdities. Well, you’ll only get the truth here, so let me show you how it works with half-a-dozen examples. Then we’ll see what to do about it.

We’ll start with Covid, where they pretended we were all equally at risk, that bacterial handwash and crude masks could stop an air-borne virus, that experimental gene-therapies were safe, fully-tested good honest vaccines. The Bible tells us there can be such people as ‘physicians of no value’. (Find all our Bible references below.) See: ‘Lockdown a failed experiment’

Media and government propaganda nudged us into standing 2 metres apart and staying indoors so effectively that even today, some of us would welcome restrictions back.

Climate, Abortion and War

They are now doing it over climate hysteria, pretending there is an emergency which calls for you to travel less, eat less meat, turn the heating down and put on a jumper, while the elite waste your money like water on ill-conceived idiocies, impoverish the people and jet around the world. Read: Population Not Being Told the True Cost of Net Zero. And read: Electric Cars Release More Toxic Emissions Than Petrol Cars.

Despite Jesus ‘upholding all things by the word of his power’ you’ll even find Christians agreeing with them. And as for Bristol Cathedral!

Reject Net Zero policies →

They do it on abortion. Not even pro-life MPs want to rock the boat by asking their pro-abortion colleagues what exactly is that in the womb? Is that a human being? Was the psalmist right to say ‘thou hast covered ME in my mother’s womb’ or not?

Stop Abortion Buffer Zones →

They are doing it over Russia / Ukraine, repeating that the Russians and ‘Putin’ are totally evil while Ukraine, Mr Zelensky, NATO, the US and the EU are as pure as the driven snow, so Mr Sunak can quietly send billions of pounds of your money to fight his proxy war and enrich his pals in the arms firms. People trot out lines they have learnt from the BBC forgetting the psalmist said: ‘I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.’

End the Russia/Ukraine War →

Islam, Islamophobia and ‘Democracy’

They are doing it, as I saw on Saturday morning (2nd March 2024), over Islam, much preferring to talk about Lee Anderson’s supposed ‘Islamophobia’ than admit the threats to MPs are coming from pro-Hamas Muslims and their leftist friends, from Islamists, in other words.

They pretend there is nothing wrong with mass Muslim migration and that they can replace our Christian constitution with multiculturalism.

You have Rishi Sunak claiming the UK is ‘the world’s most successful … multi-faith democracy’. Well did the prophet say: ‘truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

RSE and Transgenderism

They let the education establishment get away with doing it over RSE, pretending they can show what amounts to pornography to children, lying that it is ‘age-appropriate’.

Stop the Child Sexual Abuse of
Relationships and Sex Education →

They’re also gaslighting YOUR children into believing it’s just fine to be promiscuous or homosexual and perfectly normal for a girl to decide she is actually a boy and be given life-changing drugs and mutilatory surgery, despite the Lord Jesus saying ‘They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.’

Which leads us finally to Fangze Wang, a deranged man who prefers to be called Scarlet Blake and pretend he is a woman, with Police, CPS, the judge and journalists colluding in his self-deception, hoping YOU won’t notice the one THEY are calling a woman is really a man. The Lord Jesus himself said God created us male and female, not ourselves.

Stop Transgenderism Now! →

What to do about it?

It’s gaslighting built on absurdity. So what to do about it? Firstly, make sure YOU are rooted in the truth of both his word and current events. We’ll help you by looking behind the scenes and telling it as it is both here (our Youtube channel) and on our website so you can pray informed prayers.

Pray the Lord will raise up God-fearing men, change the hearts of the king’s ministers or replace them with men after his own heart. Pray for them to be what the Bible calls ‘able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.’ Let’s be fully aware a general election is coming, and of what the opinion polls say, but let us never forget God does miracles. We’ll be saying, ‘this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.’

David Cameron seen off in Washington

Stephen

16 February 2024

David Lord, Cameron, His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs and Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

The BBC is one of many to report that David Cameron, His Majesty’s Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs; Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has pleaded with American Republicans to pass a $60bn (£50bn) military aid package to fund the Ukraine side against Russia. The US Senate passed it on Tuesday 15th February 2024. Watch our video on YouTube:

Support Christian Voice →

Global Security

Lord Cameron thought he could persuade the Republicans in the US House of Representatives (Congress) in this article for The Hill newspaper by appealing to ‘global security’, whatever that means, and by citing Adolf Hitler.

‘I believe our joint history shows the folly of giving in to tyrants in Europe who believe in redrawing boundaries by force,’ said the Foreign Secretary. ‘I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s.’

But at the same time, ‘We have already destroyed almost half of Russia’s prewar military capacity,’ whoever ‘We’ are. ‘It’s Vladimir Putin who should be fearing failure. Almost a quarter of his Black Sea fleet has been sunk. He’s suffered almost 300,000 dead and wounded — more in two years of fighting than the Soviet Union suffered in Afghanistan over a decade. Russia has witnessed its first attempted coup in three decades, and its first debt default in over a century.’

So Russia is on the brink of failure but at the same time is threatening NATO and the West? It doesn’t add up. And what about this: ‘The West has helped Ukrainians liberate half the territory seized by Putin, all without the loss of any NATO service personnel.’ Ah, so the UK and US are going to stay well out of it ourselves, but we shall jolly well fight to the last Ukrainian?

Revanchism vs Imperialism

In this article, Joe Lauria explains the difference between Revanchism and Imperialism. Western critics purposely or ignorantly confuse the two to serve their interests, he writes.

‘Succinctly, the difference is this: imperialists take control of a country that does not want them there and resists. A revanchist wants to absorb former imperial lands where the population is largely the same ethnicity and welcomes the revanchist power to protect them from an outside threat.

‘Yes, Hitler was being revanchist in his defense of the German-speaking Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. But it was a first step in an imperial design to conquer countries that ultimately resisted him.’ The latter was ‘Lebensraum’, literally ‘Living Room’ a widely-stated German concept of expansionism and Völkisch nationalism, which involved initial expansion into the Soviet Union. There is nothing of that from Vladimir Putin, as even Hilary Clinton acknowledged as Secretary of State in 2010.

Mr Lauria writes: ‘Given the results of the four (Donbass) regional referendums in 2022, plus the one in Crimea in 2014, it is clear the people of those regions wanted to rejoin Russia after the (2014 Kiev Maidan Square) coup and the revival of Ukrainian extremism.’

When the elite lecture you, do the opposite

Foreign leaders turning up to lecture populations or their lawmakers rarely goes down well. We remember Barack Obama at that press conference with David Cameron in April 2016, held co-incidentally at the Foreign Office. He laid out what he said were the perils of a leave vote in the EU referendum.

He explained he had the ‘temerity to weigh in’ on the matter because Brexiteers were saying the UK would be free to negotiate a trade deal with the US. Not so, said the then-President. Brexit would put the UK at the ‘back of the queue’ for trade talks.

His intervention delighted Mr Cameron and the rest of the Guardian-reading Remainers, but backfired as soon as ordinary people realised that ‘back of the queue’ is not an expression Americans use. They never ‘queue’, they simply ‘wait in line’. The speech was a set-up. It wasn’t real. It was irritating, pompous and condescending. We worked out that anything promoted by that class of people, the world’s elite, would probably benefit them and their friends rather than us.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

’He won’t bully me’

Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted in response to Lord Cameron: ‘David Cameron should be concerned about the Nazis in Ukraine’s army, the Azov Battalion. We’re all sick of the absurd name calling,’ she went on, ‘it isn’t going to bully me into funding the war in Ukraine.’ She then told him where to get off in less than polite terms.

For that matter, ’is Lordship might address the open anti-semitism displayed weekly on the streets of London, by Muslims and leftists whom the Government is doing nothing to counter.

‘Don’t show weakness,’ he yelled at Congress. How can he even dare say ‘Don’t show Weakness’ after thirteen years of Conservative weakness culminating in the idea that a man can decide he is a woman and no-one can challenge his pronouns becoming the official policy of His Majesty’s Armed Forces?

David Cameron’s foreign policy legacy

We must remember this is the same David Cameron who voted for Tony Blair’s war in Iraq in 2003, and who even today won’t apologise for the Conservative Party’s role in backing it.

He is the same David Cameron who as Prime Minister wanted to blow Syria to pieces in 2013, was refused by the House of Commons, by just 13 votes, but proceeded to arm the Al Qaeda jihadists there instead. It’s the same David Cameron who launched air strikes against Libya in 2011.

As the Guardian reports, MPs on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee subsequently ruled his intervention in Libya was ‘carried out with no proper intelligence analysis, drifted into an unannounced goal of regime change and shirked its moral responsibility to help reconstruct the country’ following the murder of Muammar Gaddafi, leading to a failed state on the verge of all-out civil war, and today, to a staging post for migrants crossing the Mediterranean.

This is David Cameron’s foreign policy legacy. The moral high ground is for him a distant upland. At home, his legacy is Gay Marriage and his miscalculation of the Brexit vote. It was a good thing for the UK to escape the EU, but the people’s vote brought David Cameron down.

What the Lord says to David Cameron

His Capitol Hill intervention reveals a man possessed by extreme arrogance matched by scant self-awareness. His failures have never taught him humility. Rather than lecturing American lawmakers, he should be repenting in sackcloth and ashes for the destruction he wreaked both at home and abroad.

The Bible tells us (in Psalm 10) ‘The LORD is King for ever and ever’. The psalmist cries out: ‘Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. … Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: … LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: … that the man of the earth may no more oppress.’

To David Cameron he says, in the words of the prophet Haggai: ‘Consider your ways.’ The Proverb says: ‘Every one who is arrogant is an abomination to the LORD.’

And here for David Cameron and for the rest of the elite are the first recorded words of the Lord Jesus according to Mark ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’

Read and Pray

READ: 1Sam 2:3; Psa 10:12- 18; Prov 16:3-8; Jer 17:5; Ezek 3:19, 33:19; Haggai 1:7; Mark 1:15.

PRAY: Pray for repentance for David Cameron and all those who lead us. Thank God there are found men and women in the corridors of power who stand for righteousness.

Pray the Lord will exalt them and deliver us all from the men of war, the oppressors who hold the Lord and his people in contempt. Arise O Lord!

Buffer Zone trial 19th January 2024

Stephen

13 January 2024

In February 2023, buffer zones around abortion clinics were brought in nationally following an amendment to the Public Order Bill. A Government consultation on implementation ends on 22nd January 2024:

Respond to the Consultation →

On Friday 19th January 2024, a Christian preacher faced trial in Uxbridge Magistrates Court at 10am for displaying a Bible verse outside an abortion facility inside a ‘buffer zone’ in Ealing in London.

There was much discussion of the relevance, if any, of a certain Bible verse to abortion! The trial finished quite late, so Judge Burgess decided to think about it and give her judgment on Thursday 1st February at 2pm.

Support Christian Voice →

At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday 17th October 2023, solicitor Robert Smith told the court that Ealing Council’s decision to prosecute Stephen Green infringes his human rights. Mr Smith, defending, told the court: “My client does not accept the charges brought against him. He does not believe his action meets the charges brought.

“In the event that they do, he cites in his defence articles 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 9 is freedom of belief, Article 10 is freedom of expression and Article 11 is freedom of assembly.”

But more than that, the commandments of Jesus Christ himself compel Christians to preach the word.

Verse from the Psalms

The Christian Voice National Director is being prosecuted by Ealing Council for doing no more than displaying a verse from the Book of Psalms outside MSI Reproductive Choices clinic on 6th Feb 2023.

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

His sign said: “Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.”

The campaigner, who is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, is alleged to have broken a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that prohibits “protesting, namely engaging in an act of approval/disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services”

Politicians and campaigners have decried the introduction of buffer zones as deeply draconian measures that criminalise free speech and prevent vulnerable women from accessing alternatives to abortion.

Protest against Buffer Zones

Mr Green accepts he was outside Marie Stopes, but says he was perfectly within his rights to hold up the placard as a protest, not against abortion, but against the buffer zone. In any event, Marie Stopes staff called the police, who categorised the matter as an emergency, but took more than forty minutes to arrive, by which time Mr Green had left.

Almost at once, Ealing Council sent the activist a fixed penalty notice demanding £100. When he refused to pay, in September 2023, they issued the summons.

If found guilty, Mr Green, from Carmarthen in South Wales, could be fined £1,000 and would face six months in prison if he failed to pay.

Oppressive

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: “It is worrying that a man in his 70s holding a sign with a Bible verse on it is now being treated as an ‘emergency’ situation by the police.

“Buffer zones are an oppressive part of the current culture which force consent and silence dissent. The effect of the PSPO is to criminalise any act of disapproval of abortion and to create an area where no discussion or even prayer relating to abortion is permitted.

“There have now been over 10 million abortions in the UK since abortion was legalised in 1967. That is a staggering number. That is almost twice the population of Scotland and more than the entire population of London. Millions of people would be alive today if abortion had not been legalised.

“Instead of lamenting this loss of life, we are industrialising it, making it ever easier to obtain abortion effectively on demand, and now we are criminalising dissent.

“We will stand with Mr Green as he seeks justice in this case.”

PRAY: that God is glorified. Pray for wisdom for the Christian Concern legal team and favour with God and with the magistrates on 19th January.

The story so far has been reported in The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Independent, The London Evening Standard Ealing Times, Christian Today, The Jersey Evening Post and Epoch Times.

Your support in Uxbridge on 19th January 2024 will be welcome.

The Politics of Absurdity

UK Christian Constitution

Stephen

18 November 2023

‘When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.’ (Widely attributed to G.K.Chesterton.)

Let’s tie this in with a proposition from political philosopher John Gray. who says liberalism is finished and politically, ‘We’re entering an age of absurdity’.

For example, in ‘Unherd’ Prof Gray tells Freddie Sayers, ‘in Germany, the result of their closing down of nuclear and going for renewables has been an increased reliance on the dirtiest kind of coal’. Germany is not alone in such absurdity.

Not Counting the Cost

The Lord Jesus asked:

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They never counted the cost of their net zero policies. Their policy of replacing all gas and oil boilers with electric heat-pumps by some date plucked out of the air looks more unrealistic with each day that passes. They also commanded that all vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They are now pushing that back five years in the face of growing consumer reluctance to splash out on EV’s.

The Government decision alone makes Professor Gray’s point. It is policy made up on the hoof. 2040 became 2030, then 2030 becomes 2035 overnight. The policy has no rational basis. Did our leaders ever think Net Zero through as the Lord Jesus assumed any normal person would?

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Did they count the cost of the necessary infrastructure, assess generating capacity and cover for wind and solar, the environmental impact of EV batteries, the effect on UK security and jobs if it were all made overseas, or the effect of heavier vehicles on our roads? Did they ask the public if they wanted to pay thousands of pounds a year for net zero, travel less, eat less and turn the heating down while they dine well and pat each other on the back at their COP meetings before flying home in their private jets? Did a demand for personal privation in a quixotic campaign to eliminate CO2 ever appear in a manifesto? The answer to all these questions is ‘No’.

They allow solar panels on good farmland and pay speculators to plant trees on it, so a better tree is cut down in Brazil to provide the food we should have raised. It is beyond incompetent. It is a belief in absurdity.

Politics of absurdity

At his coronation just five months ago, King Charles reaffirmed our Christian constitution. His Majesty promised to ‘maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel’. But whether he honours that pledge or not is constitutionally delegated to a group of ambitious, ruthless, self-absorbed, self-serving, not necessarily very bright, often potty-mouthed and only occasionally God-fearing men and women whom we call ‘The King’s Ministers’.

Archbishop Welby reminded the king to be a servant to the people. Is impoverishing the population and enriching the elites by absurd policies part of that job description?

Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Support Christian Voice →

So apart from Net Zero, what absurdities do the politicians who have ceased to believe in God now believe? They believe that a man may declare himself a woman or that a woman can sport male genitalia. Leading civil servants admit this politics of absurdity runs all through the corridors of power. Indeed, the MOD’s JSP 889 shows trans ideology is now the policy of His Majesty’’s Government. Who allowed that to happen?

The Bible says it is God who decides the sexes, not us:

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

The Prophet Isaiah even foresaw our day and prophesied against such absurdity:

Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! … Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Why do the Government not allow parents to see Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) materials taught to their children? Who thought it would be a good idea to allow sex educators to tell children bare-faced lies or encourage them to ‘socially transition’ to the opposite sex? One paper reports this is happening in primary schools right now.

Sign our Petition against the Child Sexual Abuse of Relationships and Sex Education:

Stop the Child Sexual Abuse of RSE →

The Government promised guidance to stop that. They have failed to publish it because it may contravene the Equality Act. They have been in office for thirteen years and they have only just noticed the absurdity of the Equality Act? And they lack the wisdom and courage to do anything about it.

Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty

The Equality Act compels public authorities to promote homosexuality and gender reassignment. Great Britain legalised abortion in 1967 but earlier this year parliament sided with those shedding innocent blood by enacting buffer zones around all abortion facilities in England and Wales.

Not only are those who lead us so arrogant that they legalise things God says in his word are evil and even promote them here and abroad, not only are they so lacking in humility they distort the market by banning things God never banned, but they are so stupid they do not even cost it out and so lacking in wisdom they fail to think any of it through.

On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that they imposed Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions in opposition to the laws of God. There was no cost-benefit analysis for any of it. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption.

In addition, they imposed mRNA vaccines on care workers, NHS staff and on healthy young people who never needed them. That profited the pharmaceutical companies and those on our regulatory boards such as the MHRA with shares in them.

Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God:

Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Government doesn’t have to be like this, but the only way out is for those in office to recognise they are human not divine, seek the Lord in humility and ask for his wisdom. It is written:

Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

God longs to bless us

We serve a God who loves the whole of life, who is concerned about nations, families and individuals. God gave us righteous laws to live by and to ensure a stable society, knowing we could never find them out by experiment. Information Theory teaches that no human brain can ever understand the human brain. How much less can human beings understand human society. We need a higher intelligence for that, which means a Creator God. Men may think they know better than God, but trying to go their own way brings instability and destruction:

Proverbs 14:12 (cf 16:25) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

In the Bible we read about King Rehoboam, who, like today’s rulers, made a stupid decision which cost him dearly. But he came to his senses, and we read:

2Chron 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

We love our nation and we want things to go well, so we pray our leaders will humble themselves and seek the Lord, by the grace of God.

A bit of good news

At a personal level, Christianity teaches that your sin separates you from God, but that if you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, he will forgive your sin and give you the power of the Holy Spirit to live a new, better, forgiven life. The first public words of Jesus, recorded in Mark’s Gospel, are a command:

Mark 1:15: ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel’.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ brings forgiveness and salvation, healing and deliverance. Whatever sin or spiritual power is holding you back, you will find release and freedom in Jesus to live life to the full. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ today, make him your Saviour and Lord and he will show you his purpose for your life.

Summing up

Politicians in our constitutionally-Christian United Kingdom have ditched Christianity, wisdom and ’love thy neighbour’ and are now floundering in absurdity and what they can get away with. The Bible says:

Hosea 4:10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

Whether it’s net zero, the trans debate, sex education, buffer zones or Covid, those who lead us lurch from one disaster to the next, clueless and only out for themselves.

2Thess 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

We call on our politicians, their advisors and civil servants to turn away from godlessness and stupidity and honour the King of kings. Only then will our nation be blessed. And that is why we pray for them.

Are you for wisdom or absurdity? For people or elites? Because you can’t have it both ways. Professor Gray just happens to be an atheist, albeit a mild one, but the Lord has used him to make a very Christian point.

Witness at Conservative Party Conference

UK Christian Constitution

Stephen

29 September 2023

The objects of the National Council for Christian Standards in Society, the governing charity of Christian Voice are ‘the promotion of the principles of historical biblical Christianity and the information and education of the national public and of responsible authorities on the basis of these principles in particular.’

What better place to inform and educate ‘the responsible authorities’ than the Conservative Party Conference?

The Conference was scheduled for 1st to 4th October 2023. Our National Director went to Manchester on Monday 2nd to give out leaflets (‘tracts’ if you like!) outside:

1 The Conference itself at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, Windmill St, Manchester M2 3GX.

2 Bruges Group Fringe Meeting at the Friends’ Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS.

The leaflets set out some of our national sins and government incompetence and called for humility and wisdom in our rulers, for them to govern for the Lord and for the people, the two great commandments, instead of for themselves and the elites:

Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

When we pray and do the little things that only we can do, we can trust the Lord to do what only he can do. Yes, that’s the miraculous. Who knows what doors he is going to open as a result of this small effort.

Text of leaflet:

Are you for wisdom or absurdity? For people or elites?
Because you can’t have it both ways.

The political philosopher John Gray says we have moved into an age of absurdity. For example, he says, ‘in Germany, the result of their closing down of nuclear and going for renewables has been an increased reliance on the dirtiest kind of coal’. Germany, it appears, is not alone in such absurdity. The Lord Jesus asked:

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They never counted the cost of their net zero policies. They commanded that all vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They may now be pushing that back five years.

That decision alone makes Professor Gray’s point. It is policy made up on the hoof. 2040 became 2030, then 2030 becomes 2035 overnight. The policy has no rational basis. Did our leaders ever think net zero through as the Lord Jesus assumed any normal person would?

They allow solar panels on good farmland and pay speculators to plant trees on it, so a better tree is cut down in Brazil to provide the food we should have raised. It is beyond incompetent.

Politics of absurdity

Archbishop Welby reminded the king to be a servant to the people. Is impoverishing the population and enriching the elites by absurd policies part of that job description?

G K Chesterton said: ‘When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything’.

Politicians can now believe that a man may declare himself a woman or that a woman can sport male genitalia. Once more, it is the politics of absurdity. Leading civil servants say it runs all through the corridors of power. Indeed, the MOD’s JSP 889 shows trans ideology is now the policy of His Majesty’’s Government. Who allowed that to happen? The Bible says it is God who decides the sexes, not us:

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

Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty

The Equality Act compels public authorities to promote homosexuality and gender reassignment. We legalised abortion in 1967 but earlier this year parliament sided with those shedding innocent blood by enacting buffer zones around all abortion facilities in England and Wales.

On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that they imposed Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions in opposition to the laws of God. They imposed mRNA vaccines on healthy young people who never needed them. There was no cost-benefit analysis for any of it. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption. Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God:

Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Government doesn’t have to be like this, but the only way out is for those in office to recognise they are human not divine, seek the Lord in humility and ask for his wisdom. It is written:

Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

God longs to bless us

As we are a Christian group, you’ll expect us to take this opportunity to bring you up to speed with what we believe.

We serve a God concerned about the whole of life, about nations, families and individuals, who gave us righteous laws to live by and to ensure a stable society. Men may think they know better than God, but trying to go another way brings upon us instability and destruction. In the Bible we read about King Rehoboam, who, like today’s rulers, made a stupid decision which cost him dearly. But he came to his senses, and we read:

2Chron 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

We love our nation and we want things to go well, so we pray our leaders will humble themselves and seek the Lord, by the grace of God.

A bit of good news

Mark 1:15: ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel’.

Reverse side

Politicians in our constitutionally-Christian United Kingdom have ditched Christianity, wisdom and ’love thy neighbour’ and are now floundering in absurdity and what they can get away with.

Whether it’s net zero, the trans debate, sex education, buffer zones or Covid, those who lead us lurch from one disaster to the next, clueless and only out for themselves.

We call on our politicians, their advisors and civil servants to turn away from godlessness and stupidity and honour the King of kings. Only then will our nation be blessed.

NHS staff invited to a three-day pronouns and gender conference

Makeda

28 September 2023

Protect the NHS – but why?

Over 1,000 NHS staff have received invitations to attend what is called a three-day “diversity” conference that will feature conversations on pronouns and gender.

This event, taking place from October 3 to October 5, is being hosted by Bromley Healthcare, the primary contractor for community healthcare services in south-east London.

The conference agenda encompasses discussions on topics such as “pronouns, language, and LGBTQ+ allyship,” as well as “gender and LGBTQ+ sessions designed for colleagues working with children.”

It’s worth noting that this event is occurring despite the NHS facing significant backlogs in its healthcare services. According to the Telegraph, healthcare staff were told to complete “mandatory unconscious bias training”.

MPS reactions

Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP, said: ‘This kind of ‘training’ is not only a complete waste of taxpayers’ money, it is also deeply divisive, spreading destructive ideas that the majority of the population rejects.

‘Unconscious bias’ training has been shown to be a worthless exercise and we should be deeply concerned that the NHS is encouraging its staff to talk to children in their care about sex and sexuality.

‘The Government should introduce a ban on all public sector training that does not directly relate to the activities for which staff are employed.’

Woke Ideology

Dame Priti Patel said: ‘The alarming rate at which woke ideology is powering through the ranks of the public sector and civil service is shocking.

‘Now we hear of mandatory lectures for health professionals whose focus should be on patient care and not pronouns.

‘The professionalism and impartiality of the machinery of the state is rightly under serious public scrutiny, so it’s about time the leadership at the top of government took responsibility and stopped the spread of such activities across the public sector.’

Focus on appointments, not gender propaganda

Over 120,000 individuals have lost their lives while awaiting NHS treatment, as the backlog reaches an unprecedented peak by July 2023, according to an analysis of health service data. High waits for treatment are not new.

Prior to the pandemic in February 2020, there were already 4.43 million people on a waiting list for care. Rather than focusing on reducing cues on the wait list, the NHS is investing in gender propaganda.

Further, Bromley Healthcare was found to require improvement in five out of six key areas of competence after its latest inspection by the independent regulator of the NHS in summer 2021.

The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) report rated the contractor’s safety standards, effectiveness, responsiveness, and leadership as requiring improvement. Only its care provision received a rating of “good”.

Issues highlighted included a failure to make “basic criminal record checks” on non-executive directors, a “variation in [the] quality” of care provided by nursing and health visiting teams, and it found “patient experience feedback was limited”.

Net zero car ban pushed back

Stephen

20 September 2023

Rishi Sunak filling up someone else's car in a publicity stunt. (Rishi does not drive a Kia.)

The papers and media (See ITV news HERE) are reporting that the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars may be delayed by five years as Rishi Sunak waters down his net zero pledges.

Some Tory MPs have welcomed the proposals, which will also involve pushing back the ban on gas and oil boilers. climate fanatics are furious. The BBC is talking of ‘a blizzard of criticism’. The motivation, says the Telegraph, is to ‘mark a clear line between the party and Labour at a time when it is struggling in the polls’. But the punitive quotas on how many EV’s manufacturers must sell between now and the cut-off date remain.

Sign our Petition! →

Only ban what God has banned

To be in accordance with scripture, it isn’t enough for bans on petrol and diesel cars and gas and oil boilers to be put back. There should be no bans at all. The law of God bans things which are evil, things which should not happen. That is things like murder, adultery, theft, false witness, even blasphemy and idolatry in a civilised country. Buying the sort of car the establishment think you should not buy can never be illegal in the eyes of God. Installing a boiler which happens to be the wrong sort in the eyes of the elite can never be ‘against the law’.

That’s because all laws are or should be in accordance with the laws of God.

The Prophet called out to God:
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

To go outside the laws of God into some sort of top-down command and control mentality is human arrogance. And that is whether or not there really is a climate emergency, as the media never tire of telling us.

Building a tower

Never forget, scientists are funding-driven and that means they are agenda-driven. They, like media folk, mix with politicians. It took the Covid debacle to reveal how science can follow policy, rather than the other way round. It also showed us how the media can swiftly become propaganda channels for government. Now we have seen all that, we cannot forget it.

Those who lead us are fallible, ambitious, self-serving human beings. They get things wrong. They focus on the short-term, on polls, on headlines.

The Lord Jesus asked:
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They have not counted the cost of their net zero policies. They commanded that all new vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They may now be pushing that back five years. That decision alone makes my point. It is policy made up on the hoof. If 2030 can become 2035 overnight, the policy never had any rational basis. Did they ever think it through as the Lord Jesus assumed normal, rational human beings would do?

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Counting the Cost

Mining for cobalt in the Congo (DRC). Time Africa Magazine.

Did they count the cost of all the charging points they would need for all the EV’s they demanded we buy, how people in flats would access them, how they would generate all the electricity they would need for them in time, and for all the electric heat-pumps they are instructing the public to install, how they would expand the electric grid by their self-imposed deadline to transport all the electricity they would have to generate, or even whether that electricity would remain affordable? The answer to that is ‘No’.

Did they run tests to check the life of the batteries or consider how people would pay for a new one once the old one expired? Did they assess the environmental and social impact of mining the materials for all the batteries the cars would need? Is there any installed capacity or environmental risk assessment for scrapping the old batteries? Did they ask where in the world the batteries would be made and the impact on domestic security if they and the cars and heat-pumps were made overseas? Did they even consider the impact of much heavier vehicles on roads and car parks? The answer to all these questions is ‘No’.

Renewables

Graph shows unrealistic aims never costed out or thought through. — This graph from the Climate Change Committee shows unrealistic aims never costed out or thought through. Black is fossil fuels, Light blue is renewables. Blue is Guaranteed power plant output, Pink is Electricity for hydrogen production, Red is Nuclear, hydro and tidal power. The graph starts at 2020 and ends at 2050, The left axis is TerawattHoiurs of electricity rising from 320 in 2020 to 790 in 2050.

They have commanded and skewed the electricity market with subsidies paid for by consumers through green taxes to drive through the installation of wind turbines and solar panels. The Climate Change Committee has a graphic showing renewables generating two-thirds of our electricity by 2050.

Have they put in place equivalent capacity from nuclear power or fossil fuels to cover those days when the sun doesn’t shine, or shines too much, or when the wind doesn’t blow, or when both of those happen together? Is such back-up capacity even being planned? Are the investing in clean coal technology or buying British nuclear plants?

For that matter, have they ruled out installing solar panels on farm-land and insisted they go on roofs? Have they told us the expected life of the turbines and the solar panels and planned for their disposal or recycling? The answer once again to all that is ‘No’.

Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty

Not only are those who lead us so arrogant that they legalise things God says in his word are evil and promote them, not only are they so lacking in humility they distort the market by banning things God never banned, but they are so stupid they do not even cost it out and so lacking in wisdom they fail to think any of it through.

On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The exact same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions and the imposition of mRNA vaccines were both carried out in opposition to the laws of God and were neither costed out nor thought through.

Covid corruption

Stephen Lighfoot, the Chairman of the MHRA through 2020-2023, had shares in vaccine producer Glaxo-Smith Kline. Director Amanda Calvert had shares in vaccine producer AstraZeneca.

Did they seek the Lord before ordering lockdown? Did they ask the public whether it was acceptable to classify some economic activity as ‘non-essential’ and ban it? Did they consider the effect on the national collective immune system and mental health of confining people to their homes or forbidding old folks from seeing their children and grand-children?

Did they conduct a dispassionate assessment of the effectiveness of face-masks and anti-bacterial hand-wash against an air-borne virus? Did they conduct the standard regime of even medium-term testing before they rolled out a vaccine employing innovative mRNA technology? Did they insist no-one with shares in pharmaceutical companies could sit on a regulatory board?

The answer, once again, is ‘No’. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption.

Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God:
Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Changing people’s diets?

The Telegraph reported: ‘(Mr Sunak) is expected to say that there will be no policies to change people’s diets or to encourage carpooling, and no new taxes to discourage flying. He is also likely to rule out burdensome recycling schemes, including a proposal for seven bins, with six separate recycling bins plus one for general waste.’

Even to say that carries the implication that civil servants and government advisors might be considering such policies.

It should not even be under discussion whether people should be free or not to eat whatever they want and travel how they wish. The Government should not even be considering skewing the market in these areas with ‘sin taxes’.

As the Prophet Ezekiel told the rulers of his day:
Ezek 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.

Finally, if, as we are told, the bans and impositions are mandated by the Climate Change Act 2008 and the 2050 Target Amendment Order 2019, then those acts of folly must be repealed.

Prayer

READ: Exod 18:21; 2Sam 23:2; Psalm 23:12; Jer 29:5-7; Mark 10:44; 1Tim 2:1-4.

PRAY: Thank God for this backtrack from Mr Sunak in answer to our prayer. Tell God it does not go far enough. Pray the Government will remove the ‘net zero’ targets, policies and impositions altogether. Pray for ministers to repent and have the fear of God and seek his face in humility for wisdom, honesty and to love their neighbour. May they understand that to be a ruler is to be the servant of all.

UN exploiting children for political gain

Greta Thunberg — Anniversaire 1 an de la grève, Manifestation pour le climat

Last week, the world was told that children should have the right to take national governments to court for failing to tackle climate change. But in fact, this is the United Nations using children for its own ends.

The recent report from the Committee on the Rights of the Child commends the efforts of children for being vocal on environmental crisis. It claims that it is children rather than adults who possess the kind of wisdom necessary to tackle the problems it says are ‘facing the planet’. It calls for legal affirmation and validation of the authority of children.

Sign our Petition! →

The Bible says wisdom is with elders, not children:
Job 12:12 With the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.

The Prophet Isaiah even describes the rule of children as a curse:
Isaiah 3: 4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

But the new report praises ‘the efforts of children’ for drawing attention to ‘environmental crises’.

Support Christian Voice →

The Statement

The new report says adults are unfit to make major world-changing decisions. It puts children in a place of authority.

Part of its statement reads; ‘The efforts of children to draw attention to these environmental crises created the motivation and were the momentum behind the present general comment. The Committee benefited immeasurably from the contributions of children at its 2016 day of general discussion on children’s rights and the environment.

‘A diverse and dedicated children’s advisory team, comprising 12 advisors of between 11 and 17 years of age, supported the consultation process undertaken for the general comment, with 16,331 contributions from children, from 121 countries, through online surveys, focus groups and in-person national and regional consultations.’

The publication even quoted the children’s comments: ‘The environment is our life. Adults should stop making decisions for the future they won’t experience. We are the key means of solving climate change, as it is our lives at stake.’ ‘I would like to tell [adults] that we are the future generations and, if you destroy the planet, where will we live?.’

The Bible tells us to respect what has been put in place by previous generations:
Pro 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Children used for political gains

In 2019, Greta Thunberg became famous as the prominent figure of the school strike for Climate movement when she was only 15 years old. In the subsequent year, she received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Her acclaim has consistently been rooted in her criticism of adults, whom she accuses of shirking their responsibility for environmental issues.

The 17-year-old activist wrote on the Friends of the Earth website, ‘Adults are letting us down when it comes to climate change, which is why I am striking.’

The use of Greta Thunberg by the elites follows a familiar pattern. The UN is sold out to climate fanaticism and thinks it can use the voices of children to achieve ends which the more sober-minded might be inclined to reject.

During a speech delivered at the United Nations climate-change summit in December 2018, Ms Thunberg declared, ‘Given that our leaders are acting irresponsibly, we must now shoulder the responsibilities they ought to have assumed long ago.’ But all that means is they do not agree with her, not that they are irresponsible.

A regressive trend

Children have readily embraced the call to doubt the intentions of their elders. They are willing to attend rallies and protests which often feature posters proclaiming messages such as ‘You’ll Die of Old Age, We’ll Die of Climate Change’ or ‘I Am Skipping School Because You Are Neglecting Our Future.’

Furthermore, during an anti-Brexit protest in London, a sign boldly declaring ‘Adults Ruin Everything. Stop Brexit’ encapsulated the broader sentiment of holding adults accountable, extending beyond environmental concerns. This can only be cultural decadence where children are used to fuel ideologies.

The UK has a ‘youth parliament‘. We read: ‘Once elected, Members of Youth Parliament meet with MPs and local councillors, organise events, run campaigns, make speeches, hold debates, and ensure the views of young people are listened to by decision makers.’

In reality, the ‘youth parliaments’ are run and insulated by adults. No child is able to lobby their youth ‘member of parliament’.

Leaders count the cost

Parents and leaders are put in the place of authority for a reason. Their age and experience of life imbues them with wisdom. Their role is to lead, provide counsel in times of chaos, make meaningful decisions, and provide for the family. God has not reversed these roles.

The UN committee is engaging in a dishonest attempt to promote its political agenda through the medium of children’s rights. But encouraging children to speak against the authority of their elders is disrespectful and a sin before God.

The Bible establishes a wider principle of respect for elders when it states:
Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

In addition, it is adults, not children, who are given the job of planning for the future, making all the decisions to do with cost-benefit analysis:
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

1 Chronicles 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat.

Schools adopt gender-neutral uniforms to allow pupils to “self-identify”

Makeda

12 September 2023

Schools In the United Kingdom are using “gender-neutral” uniform policies. These policies allow students to select their clothing based on their self-identified gender rather than being categorised as the way God created them (boys or girls).

Many schools are now using terms like “Uniform A” and “Uniform B” instead of traditional gender-specific labels.

Even primary schools have eliminated uniforms that are designated by gender, enabling children as young as four to wear clothing that aligns with the gender they choose to identify as.

According to the Daily Mail private schools, including Britain’s most expensive, Brighton College, plus Christian state primaries and secondaries and sixth form colleges nationwide have adopted gender policies.

In many cases, the words boy and girl are erased from uniform policy documents, replaced by “Uniform A” and “Uniform B.”

Most schools have also introduced a “Uniform C”.

Children’s mental health under threat

Children’s mental health is under threat due to the ongoing “Relationships and Sex Education” (RSE) propaganda in schools.

Retired head Chris McGovern, chairperson of the Campaign for Real Education, told the Mail: ‘Schools are adding to the mental health problems of children who, after going into school, no longer know what gender they belong to.

‘It’s time we had a government with the backbone to intervene.’

Even Christian state schools, based on Church of England teachings, are among those removing children’s gender from uniform policies.

Ellesmere Port Church of England College, in Cheshire, does not use the words boy or girl to “ensure all pupils feel part of the College’s community.”

Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to 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.

Rishi Sunak quiet on gender propaganda

The government has repeatedly delayed the release of its “school transgender guidance” following advice from its legal counselors, who said that it would violate the Equality Act 2010.

Rather than take actions, the Mr Rishi Sunak has sorted to using the phrase “extreme caution” and “taking more time to hear from experts”.

Earlier this year, education secretary Gillian Keegan, was asked by Sky News if she thought 16 was too young for people to change gender. Keegan replied, ‘No, I don’t, actually. I was working at 16, I was paying tax at 16, I was making decisions for myself at 16.’ Sunak dithers on issuing guidance to schools while keeping in post an education secretary who thinks changing gender is like getting a Saturday job.’

‘We have to be very sensitive to children. We are actually going to publish some guidance and consult because it is a very tricky area to get right,’ she said.

‘It has to be age appropriate, but children have to be supported as well.’

Parents take charge

The RSE propaganda in schools across the UK is a sign that parents should take charge of their children’s life and education. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) propaganda is sold to children who have no business knowing about “trans” ideologies.

A few weeks ago, a parent in Hull decided that their child would not be part of this RSE propaganda, and withdrew their four-year-old from a pre-school over inappropriate images.

Meanwhile, the UK Home Office has adopted the “gender neutral” policy. Civil servants, particularly “nonbinary staff”, are given male and female security passes, allowing them to change their gender identity daily.

According to the Home Office’s “gender reassignment and gender identity” policy, “nonbinary” officials can present the gender which matches their identity on a daily basis.
