Transcript (plus a few after-thoughts!): Amid demands for answers from Kensington Palace over the royal photo scandal, Reform Party MP Lee Anderson told reporters: “Just leave her alone”.
That might work if Katherine were a struggling mum in Mr Anderson’s Ashfield constituency.
Princess photo-editing
But this is the Princess of Wales, wife of the heir to the British throne, forced into stating, we cannot say ‘admitting’ because we still don’t know the truth, that she photo-edited a picture which Prince William posted to his royal social media pages on Mothering Sunday 2024.
Stick with me as we seek out the truth of all this, and if you stay to the end, I’ll have a fascinating outro for you.
Now then, the photo was intended to be reproduced around the world, but sharp-eyed agency editors (at Getty, Reuters, Associated Press and Agence France Press) saw that, for a start, part of the sleeve of Kate’s daughter’s cardigan didn’t line up properly.
Agencies won’t publish images that have been overly edited and they killed the photograph at once. You might also notice the Princess’s left hand wears no wedding ring and that compared with her right hand, which clearly crumples Prince Louis’s woolly, there is no such indentation on Charlotte’s.
An apology for ‘confusion’?
A day later, the Princess said, in a tweet: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.
“I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.”
But why did she, or her staff, think she could get away with such a deception in the first place? Being caught out and forced into a half-hearted apology ‘for any confusion’ is not, as they say these days, a good look.
Hire a professional!
Nor was she the photographer. We heard that Prince William took the photo, or photos, on his two-and-a-half-thousand-pound camera through his fifteen-hundred pound lens.
(And given all that, we don’t expect ‘amateur’ as an excuse from a royal household. We expect things done right. If you aren’t up to it, hire a professional photographer. In fact, do that anyway. As much as you want to appear like ‘ordinary people’, giving employment goes with the job.)
It’s more than embarrassing. The word of God says: Proverbs 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. (KJV)
You might be tempted to say, ‘Oh, it’s only a little thing’, but the Bible keeps on about it. We read: Prov 20:28a Mercy and truth preserve the king:
And of God, the psalmist writes: Psa 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
No judgment, no truth
Prince William supporting ‘gay pride’
Kate, or her advisors, showed a lack of judgment and a disregard for truth. And this matters, because we need to be able to trust what our leaders say and the images they put out.
People today no longer have that trust in their rulers. They feel the elite are only in it for themselves and their pals. Stuff like Kate-Gate just confirms it.
Prince William and Princess Katherine are also sold out both to gay pride and to climate fanaticism.
They are the figureheads of the Earthshot Prize, a vainglorious World Economic Forum project (fascinating to see WEF stooge Jacinda Ardern is a trustee) which aims to ‘repair the Earth’ or ‘our Planet’ and ‘fix the world’s climate by building a carbon-neutral economy’ in 10 years.
I have to say, it’s the same lack of judgment, the same cavalier relationship with the truth, and the same hope that ordinary people won’t notice it’s all built on lies that we saw in Kate-Gate.
We support the Royal Family!
Now look, Christian Voice supports the royal family. We pray for them, for their salvation, their wisdom, their safety. They are an integral part of our nation’s Christian constitution.
When his time comes, William will be anointed with holy oil to reign over us under the Kingly authority of Jesus, just as his father was, and his mother before him, and so on, back through the generations.
We also dismiss certain internet rumours as unsubstantiated or even malicious hearsay. No, Kate is not dead. The Royal Family do not cover up their deaths, they announce them. No, there has been no secret divorce. You can’t do that in our jurisdiction.
Questions remain
But questions and inconsistencies remain. The original idea was for the Princess to surface after her un-named abdominal surgery at Easter and there would be no health updates until then.
But the Mother’s Day photo was an attempt at a health update. Should they have been more upfront about her condition, just as His Majesty the King was open about his prostate procedure?
Before that is, reverting to news black-out mode over the type of cancer the doctors found during his operation?
(And now news emerges that the photograph of her late majesty with her grandchildren and great-grand children taken in August 2022 was also “digitally enhanced at source”, as Getty Images put it. Children were moved about. Were they even there? So the editing is not ‘occasionally’. Kate, it seems, cannot stop doctoring photos. Once again, hire a photographer!)
A need for prayer!
Oh dear. Please pray for them, particularly for the Lord to raise up godly counsellors to advise them and for the Lord to put into them hearts of humility and honesty.
Prov 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
The death of King George V was duly reported first “in the morning papers rather than the less appropriate evening journals”

The death of King George V
Oh, Here’s that final Outro for you, as a reward for your patience.
On the matter of royal deaths, now and again, as in the case of King George V, in nineteen thirty-six, their doctors hasten them and I quote, ‘with fatal doses of morphine and cocaine to assure him a painless death in time, according to his physician’s notes, for the announcement to be carried “in the morning papers rather than the less appropriate evening journals”.’

Cat Killer case of ‘Scarlet Blake’ illustrates trans depravity and demands an end to trans ideology. Judges and the media must stop calling these men ‘she’.
Wake-up call
A man, claiming to be a woman, obsessed with violence and death, has been sentenced to life in prison. He will serve a minimum of 24 years after being convicted of murder, but not before being called ‘she’ and ‘her’ by a judge and the media.
The shocking affair involving Fangze Wang, who started calling himself ‘Alice’ and now goes by ‘Scarlet Blake’, illustrates the depravity of much crime committed by ‘trans-women’. It should also be the final wake-up call to stop the establishment pandering to trans ideology.
They now routinely identify men with disturbing inclinations, including perverts, paedophiles, and rapists, as women, solely based on their “self-proclaimed” gender identities.
In the coverage of Wang’s crimes, the media and judges consistently referred to him as a “woman.” We are calling for repeal of the enabling laws and we also report on the disproportionate numbers of ‘trans-women’ carrying out sexual offences:
The Bible says, Eccl 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Sign our petition to repeal the enabling pro-trans laws:
The media and judges have normalised the use of “preferred pronouns,” following the guidance that directs all judges to “respect” the gender identity of those who appear in the courts.
Oxford and the Judicial College | Faculty of Law
The guidance, which features in the Equal Treatment Bench Book produced by the Judicial College, says: ‘It will rarely be necessary to ask about the sexual orientation of a party or witness. Where it is strictly relevant to the issues in the case, some care needs to be taken to ensure that appropriate terms are used.
‘Using acceptable and up-to-date terminology avoids offending the relevant party or witness and gives confidence that they will receive a fair hearing.
‘Different people prefer different terms, and the person should always be asked how they would like to be referred to if it is unclear’.
The Bible says, 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?
The Office of Communications (Ofcom) also promotes this woke ideology of referring to people based on their “preferred pronouns”.
Ofcom’s internal policy, as published online, states: ‘Definitions and terminology regarding transgender people are evolving. Colleagues will self-identify and how they choose to describe themselves should be respected by their managers and colleagues. Rather than assume, it is best to ask someone how they wish to be addressed.
‘Using inappropriate language and terminology can cause offence and distress and undermines Ofcom’s efforts to create an inclusive workplace for all.
‘Ofcom recognises that gender identity and sexual orientation are not interchangeable terms. Transgender people can be bisexual, gay, heterosexual or lesbian and so colleagues should not assume that a transgender colleague has a particular sexual orientation’.
Fangze Wang’s conviction
Last week, the court found 26-year-old Wang guilty of killing 30-year-old Jorge Martin Carreno. In July 2021, he met Carreno while on a night out, and took him to a secluded riverbank. There, Blake hit Carreno with a vodka bottle, strangled him, and pushed him into the river.
For two years, Carreno’s death remained a mystery. Authorities thought he might have died by suicide or accidentally fallen into the water while drunk. However, Carreno’s loved ones couldn’t believe this. It wasn’t until 2023 when police got a mysterious call from a “transgender” escort in Texas that the truth about Carreno’s death emerged.
Sentencing Wang (as Scarlet Blake) on February 26 at Oxford Crown Court, Mr Justice Chamberlain said: ‘Your decision to kill Jorge was not a reaction to something he had said or done. It was not a momentary mistake. It was not a decision made in anger, or because your emotions overcame you. It was the culmination of a plan you had been considering and formulating for months.’
The judge said that there was no evidence of sexual activity at the scene of the murder, but there was ‘ample evidence [Wang/Blake] derived sexual gratification from strangulation’.
The murder came four months after Wang/Blake livestreamed the horrific killing of his neighbour’s cat. He used cat food and a carrier to lure the pet. Setting up a tripod and camera, he suspended the cat with a ribbon, before cutting it open.
After the killing, Blake dissected the animal, decapitated it, removed its fur and skin, and placed its body in a blender.
The media and deceit?
A writer for the Guardian has criticised the newspaper for failing to tell its readers that the cat killer who murdered a stranger was “transgender”.
Louise Tickle, a journalist with the Guardian for more than two decades, has accused the newspaper of “deceiving its readers” for using the word “woman” in its headline and omitting the fact Wang was “transgender” in an article covering the case.
In a letter to Katharine Viner, the newspaper’s editor, Tickle said: ‘I’ve contributed to the Guardian for nearly two and a half decades, but as a result of an utterly dismaying news piece published on Friday, I cannot do so again until I’m confident that the Guardian is able to demonstrate that its reporters, editors, and management understand what constitutes a fact, and stops deceiving its readers.’
‘The headline used the word ‘woman’ and nowhere in the piece did I pick up any reference to the killer being transgender. My understanding is that I didn’t just miss the word ‘transgender’–that word was not included in the piece.
‘So, as far as I–and as far as any of your other readers were concerned that day – a woman had committed an extraordinarily depraved and sexually motivated murder of a man, after having carried out a hideous act of animal cruelty,’ she added in the letter to Viner.
Louise Tickle said: ‘the headline was altered to remove the word ‘woman’ and the word ‘transgender’ was added in the fifth paragraph (after references to ‘woman’ and ‘she’ in the text above).’
‘When I went back to look at the piece again the following day it had been changed. Many people will not read that far, and so Guardian readers are still being led to believe that a woman has committed this crime.’
‘It is disgraceful. There is no excuse for it. Sometimes people suggest that the anger around this kind of factually inaccurate reporting is overblown, performative, unkind, or petty. It is not,’ she wrote.
The Guardian responded to the letter and has now included a note under its online article to say the following: ‘This article was updated on 23 February 2024 to add further details and biographical information, including reference to Scarlet Blake’s transgender identity, which were not included in the agency copy on which our initial version relied.’

Brutal warders abused 1,700 young prisoners - 13/3/2019
Brutal warders abused 1,700 young prisoners – 13/3/2019
Government figures have revealed that over 70 percent of “transgender” prisoners in British jails are serving sentences for sex offences and violent crimes.
At least 181 out of the 244 “transgender” inmates, which is more than 74 percent, are in prison for offences such as rape, coercion of underage individuals into sexual activities, grievous bodily harm, and robbery.
Among these inmates, 144 “transgender” women are in male prisons, while five are currently held in female jails.
Women’s rights campaigners argue that the prevalence of violent crimes among male prisoners who pose as women highlights the unsuitability of housing them in female prisons. However, campaigners and former prison chiefs claim that the high incidence of violent crimes among “trans” prisoners doesn’t imply inherent violence, noting that the vast majority live crime-free lives.
The Bible says, Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
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?
A former prisoner governor, Rhona Hotchkiss, told the Telegraph that in her experience many “trans women” prisoners only claimed a different gender when they came into contact with the law.
She also said the figures showed why men who pretend to be women should only be housed in male prisons.
‘It is always an issue to have males who identify as women in women’s prisons. It’s not necessarily always the physical threat that they experience, but the re-traumatisation because many women in prison are already traumatised at the hands of men.
‘They are also faced with constant gaslighting when forced to call these men ‘she’. The vast majority of men who identify as transgender in prison did not do so before they came into contact with the justice system.’
The Bible says, Isaiah 10:10 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed
In March 2021, a group of barristers and academics warned that “Trans prisoners” needs “cannot come at a cost to the safety” of female inmates.
This followed a judicial review of the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) policy of placing “trans women” in women’s prisons.
The policy was challenged by a prisoner, identified only as FDJ, who accused a male inmate (“trans woman”) of sexually assaulting her while incarcerated in 2017.
‘All vulnerable prisoners have the right to be safe, but the needs of one group cannot come at a cost to the safety and wellbeing of women in prison.’
‘We consider women’s prisons to be definitive examples of facilities used by women that should be single-sex,’ the group added.
The Bible says, Matt 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
The executive director of Sex Matters, Maya Forstater, a human rights organisation that campaigns for clarity on sex in law, said: ‘The presence of men in women’s prisons immediately makes every female inmate feel unsafe.
‘Even if men do not commit actual violence, they may threaten, bully and sexually harass women. Their very presence is intimidating.
‘This testimony is important and HM Prisons must take heed. It has already implemented policies that keep many trans-identifying men out of women’s prisons, but it needs to finish the job and ensure all prisons are truly single-sex.’
A Ministry of Justice spokesman told the Telegraph: ‘Well over 90 percent of transgender women in custody are held in the men’s estate. We changed the rules last year so transgender women who’ve been convicted of sexual or violent offences – or who retain male genitalia – cannot be held in a women’s prison unless in truly exceptional circumstances.’
The Bible says, Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
READ: Lev 20:13; Deut 6:6-7; Ezek 16:49; 1 Kings 14:24; Matt 4:17, 10:7; Mark 6:12, 16:15; Luke 4:18-19, 9:2, 9:60; Acts 5:28-29. PRAY: for the repeal of woke laws

The author preaching outside British Pregnancy Advisory Services (BPAS) abortion facility in Twickenham on 7th February 2023
The author preaching outside British Pregnancy Advisory Services (BPAS) abortion facility in Twickenham on 7th February 2023
Parliament has installed ‘buffer zones’ or ‘censorship zones’ around every facility, private and NHS, carrying out abortions in England and Wales.
Below are this writer’s responses to the questions in the Government consultation. Your answer must be in today, Monday 22nd January 2024. There are only two pages with the bulk on page one. The questions begin straightforwardly and then go in pairs and threes. Either follow this advice or form your own answers.
Be aware it is always possible that they will ignore responses which are identical or appear to be ‘co-ordinated’. They have done so before. Obviously we shall object if they do so. But it is still important to respond in one way or another!
Don’t not respond because you think they might ignore your answer! Firstly, you don’t know they will. Secondly, remember, your response in opposition, of whatever kind, will be noted in heaven and is changing the spiritual dynamic. Above all, make clear your opposition to the whole idea of no-go areas for scripture and the Gospel.
1 No: Guidance does not make clear that consensual discussions remain legal. Nor does it make clear that abortion places do not want to give information about abortion and that pro-life witness is only place such information will be found. Law should not protect one side of the abortion debate, ie, the abortion providers, against those who oppose abortion on humanitarian or religious grounds. Furthermore, there can be nowhere in the United Kingdom where it is an offence to read from the Bible or preach the law of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
2 No: It should not be an offence peacefully to offer an alternative to abortion to those attending, nor to witness against abortion at a place carrying out abortions to passers-by. That is an infringement on expression of religion, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. Would standing quietly with a placard displaying a Bible verse, as Stephen Green did out the Marie Stopes facility in Mattock Lane Ealing on 6th February 2023, be prohibited, and if so, why?
3 No. Not everyone knows which hospitals in England and Wales carry out abortions. It will not be clear where the boundaries are. But there can be no place in England and Wales where prayer may not be made or scripture displayed or information given out or the word of God proclaimed.
4 No. Same as 3 above.
5 No. Advice should be offered to everyone without having to find out whether they are at a hospital for an abortion, or if they are attending a private abortion centre or merely a passer-by. It must remain lawful for anyone to exercise their right of protest outside such a facility.
6 No. Same as 5 above.
7. No. The guidance states that police should not approach someone for simply wearing a religious item such as a cross. This note should also reference carrying a Bible, wearing clothes that contain Bible quotes or express religious faith or carrying signage quoting the Bible.
The guidance should expand on the right to manifest their beliefs under the European Convention on Human Rights. The guidance should also recognise and accept God-given freedoms and Biblical instructions to express the Christian faith. Restrictions of that freedom must be shown to be necessary and proportionate. Police should be advised explicitly that peaceful pro-life groups, whose actions cannot reasonably construed as harassment, should not be interfered with.
8 No. Same as 7 above.
9 No. Same as 7 above.
10. No. Same as 7 above.
11. No. The erection of signage is a waste of money which could be spent on genuine hospital treatments.
12. No. Same as 11 above.
13. It should not be an offence to carry out the instructions of the Bible and oppose evil or preach the law of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ upon which this nation was founded and which is part of our Christian constitution anywhere in the United Kingdom. The National Director and Members of Christian Voice will challenge this infringement on God-given and Christ-mandated liberty with disobedience.

Not all the pink outfits in the world will change Dominic Carter from a man into a woman. Image: Daily Echo
Not all the pink outfits in the world will change Dominic Carter from a man into a woman. But pretending to be a woman will secure him a lighter sentence in Britain today. Image: Daily Echo
A paedophile has claimed to be a woman before appearing before a Court over the possession of indecent photos of children.
Dominic Mark Carter, who now goes by the name ‘Sophie Louise’ Carter, attended Southampton Crown Court dressed in a pink shirt, pink shorts and pink nail polish, posing as a woman.
The Bible condemns Mr Carter and a society which colludes with him: Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
According to the Telegraph, Mr Carter, of Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, “wrestled” with police while under arrest to try to stop officers from taking away a phone that yielded crucial evidence.
Two Category A images, which are the most severe kind, and a further three Category B images and six Category C were discovered. He admitted three counts of making indecent images of children in relation to an incident on April 3 2021.
Judge Nicholas Rowland told Mr Carter: “The reason that children around the world are subject to abuse and it is filmed is because people seek gratification.
“People like you get gratification from looking at those images.”
Meanwhile, the lawyer defending Carter told the court there was a “history of abuse” in Carter’s life stemming from “some degree” of childhood trauma.
Mr Warren added that his client has a “long-standing issue with alcohol abuse” and had been taking Class A drugs at the time of the offending.
The unequivocal truth remains, there exists no justification whatsoever for any form of abuse, especially when it concerns the well-being and safety of children.
The Bible says, Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Previous cases
There is been a growing trend of paedophiles hiding under the guise of being “women” after committing heinous crimes. In such an atmosphere, where justice is not being done, the public are right to wonder if woman and children are safe.
Eccl 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
A man who had ‘gender surgery’ was found with inappropriate pictures of children. The former prison worker didn’t go to jail right away because the court needed to decide if he should be in a male or female prison.
‘Tanya’ Howes is still a man. Image: the Telegraph
66- year-old ‘Tanya’ Howes was identified on court documents as female and referred to in court by female pronouns.
In Scotland, Adam Graham, who now calls himself Isla Bryson, was convicted of raping two women before claiming to be a “woman”.
31-year-old Adam was found guilty of rape. His case came right after Rishi Sunak blocked Nicola Sturgeon’s plans to allow people to ‘change their gender legally and at will.
In June 2022, one Peter Selby admitted to three charges of being in the possession of indecent images of children and one charge of possessing bestiality-related images. Some of the 125,000 pictures found in his home involved children as young as three. HIs transgender status helped him avoid prison.
Another case is that of “Chleo” Thompson, a sex offender who pleaded ‘trans’, repeatedly exposed his private parts in public, including in front of children. The Metro headline actually says: ‘Ex-soldier exposed her (sic) penis and used wheelie bin as sex toy in public.’ Once again, the court was mulling over a suspended sentence for this ‘vulnerable’ man.
Meanwhile, Clive Bundy, a convicted paedophile who abused his own daughter, adopted the name ‘Claire Fox’ and started identifying as a woman shortly before being quietly released from prison.
Most recently, a male prisoner who now say he is a woman received a jail sentence for sexually assaulting two prison officers while they served him food in the cell, after being locked up for sexually assaulting a nurse.
The man who calls himself ‘Katana Paris’ assaulted the male and female staff members at HMP Forest Bank in Salford last year.
Reactions
Norfolk-based former Conservative MEP David Campbell Bannerman said: ‘It seems unduly lenient. It’s nothing to do with the person being transgender, it’s the nature of the offences.
‘It’s surprisingly lenient and ought to be reviewed. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered’.
The Bundy case had been adjourned following an application by Norfolk Probation Service for an extension to complete reports, including referring the case to the ‘Transgender Case Board’.
Prison reform trust
The ‘Transgender Case Board’ really exists. It was introduced in 2017 as the prison reform trust reports to make decisions about the appropriate location and management of “transgender” prisoners.
A ban on ‘trans women’ (that is, men) with male genitalia who are violent or sexual offenders serving sentences in female prisons came into force earlier this year.
Exemptions will only be made in the “most exceptional” cases and with the approval of ministers, the government has said. Those who cannot be safely accommodated in a men’s prison can be imprisoned in a ‘specialist unit’.
God and his creation cannot be mocked. We are seeing a society making appalling decisions and putting the innocent at risk because its leaders have forgotten the law of the Lord:
The Bible says, Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Those who lead us need to repent and learn humility. The Bible says,
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
It is not just the UK. In April, female prison officers were threatened with being raped after a confrontation with ‘transgender’ inmate ‘Barbie Kardashian’ at Limerick Prison, Ireland.
The 21-year-old, who was jailed for threatening to torture, rape and murder his mother, made the threats after being asked to clean up where he had taken a shower.
In the UK, transgenderism is not just a problem in the courts. The NHS is riddled with identity and diversity units taking their orders from pro-trans bodies like Stonewall and Mermaids supported with public money.
Biblical position on “trans-gender”
Christian Voice maintains Biblical teaching that there is no possibility of altering God’s creation. Faithful scientists and researchers admit human biology can not be changed. If you are born a man you cannot change yourself to a woman, and vice versa. No amount of gender hormones, or surgical mutilation can change a human body with XY chromosomes into one with XX, and vice versa.
It follows that the Gender Recognition Act, passed in 2004, which allowed men and women to falsify their birth certificates, is the enactment of a lie and should be repealed along with all woke laws.
The Lord Jesus said: Mark 10:6 From the beginning of creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh:
The Prophet Isaiah scorned those who claim to know better than God: 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?

A devout Christian social worker had a £25,000-a-year job offer revoked after his employer discovered his previous legal victory affirming his freedom of speech.
According to the Daily Mail, Felix Ngole faced expulsion from a social worker training course at Sheffield University after sharing a Facebook post that referenced Bible passages on the topic of same-sex marriage.
But in a major victory for free speech, he was allowed to return to his training when the Court of Appeal ruled in 2019 that Mr Ngole would ‘never discriminate against anyone’ because of his personal views.
The Mail on Sunday reported: ‘But now the father-of-three faces further hardship as a result of his religious beliefs. He successfully applied for a job at Leeds-based Touchstone Support as a mental health support worker but the offer was rescinded weeks later when the organisation discovered his involvement in the previous case. The company, which is backed by LGBT lobby group Stonewall, claimed his ‘strong views against homosexuality’ did not align with its ‘ethos and values’.
‘It argued Mr Ngole posed a ‘significant risk’ to its patients and reputation and it would only consider employing him if he gave assurances that he would ’embrace and promote LGBT rights’.
‘Mr Ngole told The Mail on Sunday how senior staff at Touchstone had ‘interrogated’ him over his Christian values in a second interview after accepting the role. ‘It was an attack on my faith,’ Mr Ngole said.’
Freedom of Speech NOT free
In recent times, we have seen Christians being attacked for exercising their basic human right to expressing personal views/opinion and maintain Biblical standards.
A Christian teacher was suspended indefinitely from teaching in any sixth-form college in England for addressing a girl as a girl.
The former teacher identified as Joshua Sutcliffe, admitted to not using the pupil’s preferred pronouns and said he was “devastated” by the ruling, but owes no apology.
Apart from the allegations of “misgendering a pupil”, Mr Sutcliffe was also found in the wrong for expressing views against gay marriage when questioned by a pupil.
He plans to appeal and is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre.
The Bible says,
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
A trend
In 2020, a Christian school assistant who was dismissed for criticising the introduction of teaching about LGBT relationships in primary schools on her Facebook post, lost her case at the tribunal.
Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, claimed the reason for Kristie Higgs’ dismissal was based on “gross misconduct”.
In the hearing at Bristol employment tribunal, her legal team argued that her dismissal breached her freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
In 2019 , a local paper reported that a Christian doctor lost his job after refusing to refer to transgender people by their preferred pronouns.
Dr David Mackereth also lost his appeal at an employment tribunal in Birmingham to challenge a legal judgment on the basis of religious discrimination and harassment.
Hypocrisy
It is hypocritical to ban men who claim to be women from spotting competitions, and in another breath fault people who hold a different opinions about these things.
We see that Almighty God has made each of us in his image with XY or XX genetics from the beginning of creation:
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 Bible declares that private property should be respected. The right to live in peace in your own home is a Biblical fundamental: Jdg 8:29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
The psalmist says to dwell in safety is God-given: Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
In the days of Solomon, people dwelling safely in their own place was a sign of national security: 1Kings 4:25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
Indeed, the same picture is used of freedom, peace and security in the millennial Kingdom: 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.
Way back in the book of Job, this is said to be the portion of the righteous: Job 11:19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
Alexa, Let Me In!
Even when the Apostle Paul was under house arrest in Rome, two thousand years ago, he still had a right to occupy and enjoy his own home: Acts 28:30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
But today, Amazon will make you afraid if you have let them run your home. Offend Alexa and you might not be receiving anyone. According to the Daily Sceptic, a paper has reported that Amazon shut down a customer’s ‘smart home’ for a week after a delivery driver claimed he heard a racial slur coming through the doorbell, even though no one was home.
Brandon Jackson, of Baltimore, Maryland, came home on 25th May 2023 to find that he had been locked out of his Amazon Echo. This is an online account, which his household devices, even his lights, were connected to.
Amazon locked him out
He later learned Amazon had locked him out of his account after the delivery driver reported the alleged ‘bell’ incident. Amazon’s normally chatty robot voice, ‘Alexa’, fell silent.
An Amazon representative directed him to an email he received from an executive that provided a phone number to call. When he called the number, he was told in a “somewhat accusatory” tone that the driver had reported “receiving racist remarks” from his doorbell.
But Mr Jackson is black, as are most of the neighborhood and its delivery drivers. After reviewing the doorbell footage, he learned the device had given an automatic reply, saying: “Excuse me, can I help you?” He also said the video showed the driver had been wearing headphones during the interaction and “must have misinterpreted the message”.
Mr Jackson was completely locked out of his account and it was “rendered unusable during their internal investigation” for six days.
The householder said the incident had “led me to question my relationship with Amazon”.
Who lets Amazon control their home?
But what kind of person lets the Amazon behemoth control their home? Enough of us, apparently, to warrant a website, ‘home-connect.com’ to promote it.
There we read how Amazon is ‘Exceptionally smart’ and how you can ‘Control your home appliances with Home Connect and Alexa’.
If you have ‘Too much on your mind’ you can ‘Let Amazon Alexa and Home Connect do some of that thinking for you, while you take care of personally important things.’ It seems ‘Home Connect lets you effortlessly control connected home appliances via Amazon devices such as Echo and Echo Show. Depending on the available skills, you can communicate with Alexa via voice and use the display for the interaction with your connected appliances. Start programs, change appliance settings, receive status updates and notifications or create individual routines.’
‘Home Connect Skills’
‘The available skills’ is jargon for capabilities. As in: ‘Home Connect Skills enable Alexa to communicate directly with your connected home appliances.’
You can ask Alexa to ask your coffee machine to brew up. Why not just turn it on yourself?
Alexa listens. ‘From very simple dialogues to very personalized interaction with Alexa and your connected appliance, Alexa will listen to your needs and will try her best to simplify your household work.’
Or: ‘Would you like to turn on the coffee machine and enjoy your favorite coffee? Just say: “ Alexa, tell my coffee machine to turn on ” and follow it up with: ” Alexa, tell my coffee machine I want a large, strong Cappuccino “.’ Sign up to Amazon and it’s possible you soon might have a yearning for something even stronger.
If you ‘Want to know what is going on in your home? Alexa will find out for you. Ask: “Alexa, ask my washer for the status ” and she’ll let you know how long the washing machine in the basement has been running for. Need to know when it will finish? “ Alexa, ask my washer when the laundry will be done.” Just a few words and you are all caught up.’
As, indeed, was Mr Jackson. Dramatically all caught up, in fact.
‘When you talk, she hears you’
How creepy is this about Alexa: ‘When you talk, she hears you.’ Well, so long as the delivery driver does not feel insulted by your door-bell, that is.
It’s all sold on peace of mind and convenience. For example, you can turn on your central heating from work so the house is nice and warm when you return. Or a ‘smart’ slow cooker. And so on.
It’s all a bit ‘The Machine Stops’ or ‘The Matrix’. Machines running everything for you. Until they don’t. And what will Amazon do to Mr Jackson when Alexa goes full AI?
Maybe then Alexa will turn down his central heating to the level the State has told Amazon is appropriate. Or perhaps it will switch off his power altogether if Alexa has heard him say something she considers to be ‘wrong-think’, like ‘trans-women are men’. After all, ‘When you talk, she hears you.’
Paying too high a price
The humble Centurion seeking healing for his servant told our Lord:
Luke 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
‘Christ in the House of Martha and Mary’ by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer c. 1654–1656
Is there a danger in future he could tell Alexa ‘Come’ and she goeth? It is a good job Amazon were not running things in Bible times. We read:
John 20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Only to find ‘Alexa’ had locked them out. So let us be careful and as wise as serpents,
Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
This could be a salutary tale. Are we paying too high a price for convenience? Can you not make a hot drink yourself? Are there not more important things in life than knowing how much time your washing machine has left? Studying that ‘good old way’ and following the Lord Jesus, for example?
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Pray that a generation will arise seeking after real peace of mind, found, not in Alexa, but in Jesus.

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. Many people have sought to draw lessons lessons from the tragedy, the barbarism, but we are going to take a sideways look. For us, this story shows Christian parents how essential it is to radicalise their children in the Christian faith before someone else radicalises them in theirs. Contact us on the pop-up form to keep in touch – especially if you are a pastor or a parent.
On 22nd May 2023, two young Islamist terrorists drove a car into Fusilier Lee Rigby, from behind, then stabbed him multiple times. They carried out their attack near the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, southeast London.
In Spiked-Online, Tom Slater writes: ‘They had set out that day to kill a soldier, and spotted Rigby’s army-issue backpack and ‘Help for Heroes’ hoodie as he walked back from Woolwich Arsenal station. They hacked at Rigby’s body. They tried to decapitate him. Then they waited for the police to arrive, hoping to go out in a blaze of glory – as martyrs.’
When armed police turned up, the terrorists ran at them with their knives and a rusty useless revolver. Instead of killing them, the marksmen shot them in the legs and incapacitated them. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale were tried and convicted.
For Tom Slater, the lesson is that the woke establishment want us to forget about atrocities such as the murder of Lee Rigby, the murder of Sir David Amess MP and the Manchester Arena bombing. If not to forget, then not to attribute these events to Islamic Terrorism or associate them with Islam at all.
‘Religion of Peace’
David Cameron and Egypt’s President Sisi in November 2015.
For David Cameron in 2015, in a joint press conference with Egypt’s President Sisi, Islam was a ‘religion of peace’. The then Prime Minster made the claim in the same breath as stating ‘the problem of extremist Islamism and violence’ had been ‘growing’. Terrorism, he said, was a perversion of Islam (even though Islam has historically spread at the point of a sword).
The authorities today want the ‘Prevent’ counter-terrorism programme they set up in 2003, and which became a ‘strategy’ in 2011, to focus equally on ‘far-right’ extremism to provide a bit of balance, just so they can claim that Islamic Terrorism is only one threat we face, not the main one.
Tom Slater writes: ‘Our elites have become increasingly uncomfortable with us talking about Islamist terrorism, even as it continues to wreak havoc on our streets. This reticence is bred of a deep fear and loathing of the public. Non-Muslim Brits are thought of as a pogrom-in-waiting, as one ‘difficult conversation’ away from going on an anti-Muslim rampage.’
Caught by Street Islam
Michael Adebolajo (left) followed Anjem Choudary (right)
For us, there is another lesson, closer to the Christian heart. We must never forget the two terrorists were British boys from Christian families. Both were named after the warrior Archangel (Dan 10:13-21, 12:1, Jude 1:9, Rev 12:7). Their parents came from southern Nigeria.
However, the boys had contact on the streets with Omar Bakri Muhammad and Anjem Choudary, the co-founders of the banned British group al-Muhajiroun. See the BBC report here. That is how the ringleader, Michael Adebolajo, could rant to a camera or phone held by a passer-by: ‘The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.’
It was a preposterous thing for him to say until we realise the extent of the indoctrination he had received while being radicalised in Islam. He now identified as Muslim.
‘You will lose your child’
A friend and neighbour of Michael Adebowale who lives in nearby Greenwich, warned parents they must take real care of their children.
Magdalene Edwards told Channel 4 News she first noticed Michael Adebowale in Muslim dress a year before and asked if he had converted to Islam. She told him to ‘be careful’.
He was ‘angry’, she said, ‘as a lot of young people are’. She added that extremists looking to radicalise the young ‘are only looking for the weak ones, the ones that have no support, so we have a duty as parents to keep an eye on those children. If you take your finger off the pulse for one second, you’ve got to believe me, you will lose your child.’
It isn’t just Muslims with their table in the town square trying to draw children away from their parents and the Christian faith. Children are under terrible pressure from teachers and other children in schools to adopt the ways of the world. They are being indoctrinated daily with Secularism, Gender ideology, Evolutionism and Eco-fanaticism. Online, they can be sucked in to pseudo-Christian cults, New Age, even suicide promotion.
How are Christian parents going to make their children bullet-proof against such pressure?
The Bible shows us how:
Deut 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: … 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.
In other words, Christian parents must radicalise their children in the Christian faith before someone else radicalises them in theirs.
Parents must explain the ways of the Lord to their children, sitting down, standing up, at mealtimes, going out, coming in. Spend time with them. Fathers especially must spend time with their sons, mothers with daughters. Contrast God’s ways with the ways of the world. Show how the Christian faith is radical, how it challenges the systems and the leaders of this world. Parents, forget ‘quality time’. This exercise needs ALL your time. Or you will lose your child.
If you are a parent, even before you teach your children, you need to know the word of God yourself. You need to know Bible doctrine on gender, sexuality, family, creation, justification, salvation, government, spiritual armour, the whole of the Christian faith.

A 16-year-old boy who had “vaginoplasty” surgery in a vain attempt to “change his gender” died from an infection, according to new just coming out.
In 2016, a local paper reported that a medical study had revealed the cause of death on one of its participants in a Dutch transgender experiment.
Surgical Equipment. Image Source: Michigan Radio
The case is that of a teenage boy who died from hormone blockers administered by Dutch researchers. That meant there was not enough penile tissue for surgeons to create a “neo-vagina.” Therefore, a more risky procedure using a section of the patient’s bowel was necessary, which resulted in fatal necrotising fasciitis.
In truth, this scandalous mutilation is neither necessary nor godly. It is a perversion of medicine:
Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
Vaginoplasty surgery is a complex and invasive procedure, as it involves creating a pretend “vagina” from existing tissue and skin.
It is also known as ”gender affirmation surgery” or ‘bottom surgery’. They typically perform the surgical procedure as part of mutilatory surgery for men pretending to be women. The procedure involves creating a pretence at a vaginal canal and repositioning the urethra, and scrotal tissue.
During the surgery, the surgeon, if the practitioner may be referred to by such a term, removes the male organ and testicles and uses the remaining skin and tissue to create a “neo-vagina.” The urethra is also repositioned to allow for urination.
Sex reassignment is not the answer
Our research online show that sex mutilation does not adequately address the psychosocial difficulties faced by people who identify as transgender. Even when the procedures are successful technically and cosmetically, and in cultures that are relatively ‘trans-friendly,’ ‘transitioners’ still face poor outcomes.
Dr. Paul McHugh, a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine said: ‘Transgendered’ men do not become women, nor do ‘transgendered’ women become men.’
Meanwhile, a report by the Guardian shows that the Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility (ARIF) of the University of Birmingham concludes that none of the studies provide conclusive evidence that gender reassignment is beneficial to patients.
The Bible says,
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
The Risks
In our previous articles, we made clear the risks of gender altercation, be it male or female. Although critics claim that gender reassignment procedures can alleviate the distress and psychological pain many young transgender people with gender dysphoria experience, vaginoplasty surgery carries risks and potential complications.
Source: Pixfuel
These risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, loss of sensation, complications related to anesthesia, or even death, as in the case of the aforementioned 16-year-old.
Recovery time can also be lengthy, and follow-up care is often required to monitor healing and address any issues that may arise. Nor does it ever deal with the emotional and spiritual state, possibly even demon-possession, which lies at the root of gender dysphoria.
A local paper reports that the Dutch research team in a statement said: ‘The patient was described as a healthy 16-year-old who could not undergo standard vaginoplasty.
‘Within 24 hours of having a vaginoplasty, the patient started showing major complications. Necrotizing fasciitis was confirmed in the days after the surgery.
The investigation into the teenager’s death revealed that the deadly strain of E-Coli most likely came from the patient’s own intestines, not from the hospital setting, meaning that the patient’s early puberty suppression surgery almost certainly caused her fatality.’
It’s important to note that no form of gender re-assignment surgery is the answer or escape for a troubled soul. The Bible says:
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest..
Read and Pray
Psalm 14:4, 53:4, 64:5, 91:8, 94:2, 140:1-3, Matt 9:12; Rom 3:13. Pray for the soul of the departed, that he might find rest. Pray for other teenagers who may be in distress. Pray for parents and families. Pray for the love of God in the hearts of our children.

Our first-ever street witness, at Canary Wharf Canary Wharf
How Christian Voice began, what we have done by the grace of God, and how you can make an impact for the Kingdom of God by supporting this ministry. (Published April 2023)
Christian Voice came about when Christian activists gathered at Hothorpe Hall in October 1994, concerned about the rise of the homosexual lobby and challenged by the following verse of scripture:
Psalm 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Five of those present decided to support Stephen Green as National Director of a new para-church organisation founded solidly on scripture.
They formed Christian Voice with the following objects:
1 To uphold Christianity as the Faith of the United Kingdom.
2 To be a voice for Biblical values in law and public policy.
3 To defend and support traditional family life.
4 At all times to rely humbly on the blessing of Almighty God.
In summary, we believe, as the king was told when he was given the Orb set under the Cross from the Crown Jewels on 6th May 2023, that ‘The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever’ (Rev 11:15). Jesus really is King of kings!
We merged with the National Council for Christian Standards in Society in 2009. Our charitable objects 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…’
In the UK we uphold our Christian constitution and bring scripture to bear on current events, informing parliamentarians and the public and giving Christians the information they need to fulfil their Christian duty to pray for those in authority and take action, often by writing to their MP.
In the past we have also stood up for our Lord countering blasphemy, most notably against Jerry Springer the Opera in 2006.
Of course, this is done out of love for our land. Scripture tells us a nation will be blessed if it follows God’s ways. We want the UK to have that blessing. We want things to ‘go well’:
2Chron 12:12 And when he (Rehoboam) humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
The same applies to any and every nation. Therefore, overseas, we empower Christians to expose evil and stand up for righteousness in their nation. Western governments and foundations are trying to export immorality, flooding activist NGOs in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia with money to agitate for legalised abortion, unnatural offences and transgenderism. Not one pro-abortion or pro-sodomy NGO in the developing world is locally funded. Every single one is effectively a foreign agent.
So we are alerting Christians in Africa to give them the tools to stand up, pray into this and speak to dignitaries, MPs, Chiefs, Pastors, Dignitaries to encourage them to resist Western cultural imperialism. Christians in the UK are used to funding and building schools, churches and orphanages in the developing world. Our added ingredient is to think of the society those children will growing up into. Will it be dissolute and rebellious like the UK? Or will it walk in the ways of the Lord and be blessed? The Lord is raising up overseas Christian Voice affiliates rapidly. Our job is to keep up with him!

The 75th World Health Assembly in Geneva, May 2022
The World Health Organisation wants to compel its 194 Member States to legalise abortion on demand up to birth.
The WHO also wants to impose ‘pandemic prevention measures’ on its Member States.
We are calling for Bible-based prayer to counter both measures. Christians world-wide can pray for and speak to the country’s delegates, who are appointed by governments.
Each member state will send three delegates to the World Health Assembly meeting from 21st to 30th May 2023. Scripture demands the abortion measure should be thrown out. Phone your national delegates and ask to meet with them if possible. Ask them to move a motion in the World health Assembly in May 2023 to remove the WHO Abortion Care Guideline.
Click the button just below to find your nation’s delegates as they were in 2023. The three, or the top three, will probably include a minister or health official as the chief delegate, your UN Geneva ambassador as the deputy and another minister or health official as the third. You will have to search online for the contact details of health ministry delegates; your country’s UN ambassador will be listed in the Ambassador button below it:
The Lord is looking for those he can send to stand up for him and preach righteousness to those in authority. Find out what is involved in starting a Christian Voice affiliate in your nation:
The World Health Organisation (WHO) published its updated abortion care guideline in March 2022. Click here to download the Executive Summary pdf. It recommends complete decrimalisation of abortion. It states that babies should be aborted up until the moment they emerge from the birth canal, without delay, whenever a pregnant woman requests it.
WHO considers its document to be a ‘guideline’ rather than a recommendation. Nevertheless, it expects all 194 Member States of the World Health Assembly to follow it. Although the WHO does not have the power to enforce guidelines, a ‘guideline’ in the WHO’s terminology is an instruction that countries are expected to adhere to.
The WHO couches its recommendations in terms of ‘human rights’, pretending there is a human right to abortion. The term appears 21 times in the Executive Summary. It also states: ‘It has been affirmed that the right to non-discrimination guaranteed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) includes sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.’ None of that is actually in the ICESCR which you can read here.
Baby or Pregnancy Tissue?
‘Pregnancy Tissue’? Unborn baby at just 8 weeks
We used the term ‘babies’ above. Nevertheless, the words ‘baby’ or ‘babies’ are nowhere in the document. You will also search in vain for ‘mother’ or ‘womb’. ‘Mother’ is replaced by the outrageous trans-friendly ‘woman, girl or other pregnant person’. ‘Womb’ becomes ‘uterus’ but is only used twice, both times of the context of ‘emptying’ it.
The term ‘baby’ is replaced by the bleak and unscientific term ‘pregnancy tissue’. For example:
‘Expectant management can be offered as an option on the condition that the woman, girl or other pregnant person is informed of the longer time for expulsion of the pregnancy tissue and the increased risk of incomplete emptying of the uterus.’ ‘Pregnancy tissue should be treated in the same way as other biological material unless the individual expresses a desire for it to be managed otherwise.’
There is no recognition from the WHO that a baby, or ‘pregnancy tissue’, is ever a human being. If it is not, what is it?
Cultural imperialism
The WHO guideline is indicative of a troubling and hazardous anti-life culture within the international health elite. This culture relies on denying reality to achieve a predetermined outcome. It misuses human rights to impose a specific worldview on the developing world. This is cultural imperialism. It goes against the community-driven and anti-colonialist principles upon which the WHO was established in 1948.
Regardless of one’s stance on abortion, the shortcomings in the WHO’s human rights arguments and their lack of consideration for the diversity of opinion, their use of language to obscure, show the organisation is more focused on enforcing woke preconceptions than working on evidence.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Logo
While the World Health Organisation may have a role in providing guidance on the safety of medical procedures, they should not assume the authority to make moral judgments. Scripture is clear that abortion is a sin before God if there is not a life-threatening situation to the mother.
Only 16% of the WHO budget comes from member states. The bulk of the funding comes from NGOs and companies. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation and GAVI-the Vaccine Alliance are the lead foundation funders. It is said that ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’. The father of Bill Gates, William Gates Sr., was a trustee of Planned Parenthood and sat on its board. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has never disowned IPPF and has even given them money.
The Biblical witness
The Bible has so much to say on human development, on the sanctity of human life, the seriousness of shedding innocent blood and on child sacrifice, of which, plainly, abortion is our modern equivalent. Firstly, these words, written 1000 years before the birth of our Lord Jesus, are incredibly perceptive about human development:
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins (insides): thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought … 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Eccl 11:5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
So the Bible teaches there is a human being growing in the womb. The Psalmist says ‘me in my mother’s womb’. That was ‘me’ from conception.
Sanctity of human life
On the sanctity of human life, the Bible says: Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
On the seriousness of taking human life: Gen 4:10 And he (God) said (to Cain), What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Exod 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Numb 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Moreover, those who shed human life for money are condemned: Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. Prov 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, …
The Bible says: Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
How dare the WHO presume to take away that heritage and that reward from the poorest in society.

The World Health Organisation wants to impose ‘pandemic prevention measures’ on its 194 member states by means of a new international treaty.
Furthermore, changes to the International Health Regulations could prevent member states like Sweden deciding on their own approach to health challenges.
The WHO also wants to compel its member states to legalise abortion on demand up to birth.
Each member state will send three delegates to the World Health Assembly meeting from 21st to 30th May 2023. Scripture demands both issues be debated. Firstly, the Treaty might not even be necessary and should not encroach on national sovereign rights in any event. Secondly, the abortion measure should be thrown out. However, there is little sign the UK Government will disagree with the WHO on either matter. So it will be up to other nations.
MPs debated the Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response: International Agreement in Westminster Hall earlier this week, on Monday 17th April 2023.
The debate was triggered because more than 156,000 people expressed their concerns by signing a petition, urging the government to refrain from signing any World Health Organisation (WHO) pandemic treaty without prior approval through a public referendum. Read the petition HERE. Read the Draft Treaty HERE
Read the Hansard record of the debate. The speeches of MPs Danny Kruger, Andrew Bridgen, Sir Christopher Chope, Esther McVey and Sally-Ann Hart, and intervention from John Redwood were encouraging. The front-bench contributions were less so.
Andrew Bridgen MP quoted George Santayana: ‘Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. I have some severe worries that the lessons of the last pandemic have not been learned by the WHO itself, and that we are in danger of giving it more powers to enable it to overreach itself and repeat those catastrophic mistakes.’
The debate was moved by Nick Fletcher, a member of the Petitions Committee. It was his job to introduce the petition but not to take sides. However, he damned the WHO with faint praise, saying it had done ‘some wonderful work.’ He explained that less than 20% of its budget comes from members states. He acknowledged the concerns over ‘philanthropists and pharmaceutical companies that make contributions’ to the WHO.
STOP PRESS 26/05/2023: Six conservative MPs, led by the aforementioned Esther McVey with colleagues Sir John Redwood, David Davis, Philip Davies, Sir Christopher Chope and Danny Kruger, have written to ministers about the dangers. The Daily Telegraph says ministers are now taking the matter seriously, but its story does not raise the prospect of the UK objecting to the proposed treaty at the World Health Assembly meeting 21st to 30th May 2023, being held as the Telegraph went to press with their story.
Following the big donors
Above all, the WHO is in thrall to its big donors, all believers in technology, restrictions and vaccines. EuroNews says: ‘The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation alone is responsible for over 88 per cent of the total amount donated by philanthropic foundations to the WHO. Other contributors include the Bloomberg Family Foundation (3.5 per cent), the Wellcome Trust (1.1 per cent) and the Rockefeller Foundation (0.8 per cent).’
Alongside member nations and the European Commission, WHO says here that its top donors are the COVID-19 Solidarity Fund, GAVI the Vaccine Alliance and various United Nations programmes.
It has been said the WHO may not receive money direct from pharmaceutical companies. However, such money is channeled through ‘patient groups’ instead. See HERE.
In March 2021, global leaders, including Boris Johnson, called for the development of a treaty to strengthen international collaboration in pandemic management. Subsequently, in October 2021, a WHO working group produced a preliminary report (known as a ‘zero draft’) for submission to the World Health Assembly (WHA), the WHO’s decision-making body.
Following this, the WHA held a second special session in December 2021, during which it established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) responsible for drafting and negotiating the treaty, intended as a fresh global agreement aimed at promoting joint efforts for preventing, preparing for, and responding to pandemics.
The treaty is expected to be adopted under Article 19 of the WHO Constitution, which empowers the WHA to endorse conventions or agreements related to any matter within the WHO’s jurisdiction.
Regulations could stop Swedish-style dissent
Furthermore, proposed changes to the International Health Regulations (IHR) are also being rushed towards a deadline of May 2024, for adoption at the 2024 World Health Assembly.
Writing in the Daily Sceptic, Professor Robert Dingwall points out that the changes remove the necessity for states to agree to measures being imposed. Sweden could no longer decide its own, limited, response to a health challenge. The amendments, proposed by the US Biden regime, remove the necessity to take the views of member states into account. Such requirements are simply deleted from the IFR. See HERE.
Robert Dingwall writes:
‘Currently, the WHO can issue recommendations to members when a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) is declared. The amendments have the effect of changing recommendations to directions or commands. The definition of a PHEIC is loosened so that the Director-General can declare one in response to a potential, rather than an actual, threat and regardless of the views of the state from which the threat is thought to arise. Once this declaration is made, the new text moves away from the present language, based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to subordinate rights to the discretion of the DG, who acquires the power to close borders, require vaccine passports, mandate vaccinations, impose quarantines and censor media critical of these interventions. The DG is to be the sole source of pandemic truth.’
Lockdowns and Vaccines
We need to remember that in 2021, governments worldwide had adopted the idea that the way to prevent respiratory infections was by restrictions on movement, economic and social activity, by facemasks and lockdowns. Christian Voice opposed all of them as contrary to scripture. All are now being gradually discredited. The then Secretary of State Matt Hancock defended those measures and criticised those who would ‘let the virus rip’. But it and its variants ‘ripped’ anyway, despite his arrogance of presuming to ‘control the spread’ by locking the population indoors.
Nevertheless, such failed measures still inform the WHO ‘Zero Draft’. It speaks in Article 4(10) of ‘public health and social measures’, in Article 14(2) about ‘restrictions’. Under the treaty, lockdowns could be mandated worldwide.
We also recall that our Government promoted ‘vaccination’ as the way out of restrictions. Gene therapy drugs were rushed out without testing. Only two days ago we reported on a widower taking AstraZeneca to court seeking compensation for the death of his wife, a BBC presenter, blamed by the coroner on the vaccine.
So it is interesting to read in Zero Draft: ‘Article 9 (5). The Parties shall establish, no later than XX, with reference to existing models, a global compensation mechanism for injuries resulting from pandemic vaccines.’
Does the UK support the treaty?
Then Prime Minister Boris Johnson was a signatory to the article initially proposing the treaty. See HERE.
On 27th May 2022, the Government responded to the Parliamentary petition, stating that it supported a new legally-binding instrument ‘as part of a cooperative and comprehensive approach to pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.’
The UK’s position on the exact substance of the treaty remains to be seen as negotiations continue. Nevertheless, the debate made clear all the opposition parties support it as it stands. Furthermore, the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Anne-Marie Trevelyan MP said, ‘we want to support the development of this new pandemic instrument.’
External ‘Fact-Checkers’ have dismissed concerns about the proposed Treaty. Ironically, given their past form, that is reason enough to oppose it.
On the other side of the fence, The Daily Sceptic has raised alarms.
Arrogance
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organisation
At the fourth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB), held from 27th February – 3rd March 2023, a preliminary version (zero draft) of the treaty was presented for review. The primary objective of the WHO CA+ they say, ‘is to achieve effective management of pandemics worldwide.’
The WHO elite believe the ‘international community’ showed a ‘catastrophic failure to demonstrate solidarity and equity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic’. The aim is clearly to go further than a continuation of the status quo and to make sure everyone toes whatever line is chosen. As the WHO shows no willingness to learn from mistakes, anything is possible.
Moreover, there is a lack of universally recognised criteria to determine the conclusion of a pandemic. Is the current one over yet? It is the WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who will make the declaration. Under the Treaty and the Amendments his decision will be binding.
According to Article 19(1c) of the draft report the UK government will be committed to allocating in its annual budgets not less than 5% of its current health expenditure to pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and health systems recovery.
The allocation of 5% amounts to approximately £7.5 billion for England and Wales. This is equivalent to about half of the General Practice budget. Is that affordable?
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? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
The Bible on Sovereignty
Christian Voice is concerned with sovereignty, God-given freedoms, definitions, the costs of this treaty and its vainglorious pretence that respiratory infections can be controlled by men in suits. In article 4 (8) it repeats the glib mantra: ‘previous pandemics have demonstrated that no one is safe until everyone is safe’.
One the matter of sovereignty, we read how God separated the nations with a mandate to carry out his rule of law: Gen 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
The Apostle Paul confirmed the division of nations, while emphasising our common humanity: 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;
The Tower of Babel was the first instance of mankind’s quest to rebel against God by bringing all the nations together under a demonic authority: Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
God destroyed the Tower and confused their language, but the supra-national ambition remains. It is spoken about in Psalm 2: Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, … 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
As to their arrogance in presuming to fight a respiratory infection, the Bible says we know nothing about how God has ordered the world:
Job 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? … 23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Prayer
Pray for our leaders to seek the Lord for humility, for his wisdom and understanding:
Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Matt 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Pray that delegate countries will object to the draft Treaty. Pray that the UK Government will seek the Lord, and seek the will of the people even in a public referendum. Let them promote transparency and accountability in the decision-making process and restore by servant leadership that sense of trust between the government and the people which over the last few years has been lost.

Marie Stopes abortion facility in Ealing. Inside Ealing PSPO Buffer Zone.
Marie Stopes abortion facility in Ealing. Inside Ealing PSPO Buffer Zone.
Parliament wants to put a ‘Buffer Zone’ around every abortion centre and NHS hospital in England and Wales. Meanwhile, five local authorities in England have placed their own buffer zones around abortion centres in their area.
Five Buffer Zones, five days in the working week? The Buffer Zone Challenge was an obvious opportunity to stand for Jesus Christ in this United Kingdom, at all five abortion facilities in five days, 6th to 10th Feb. 2023.
No Buffer Zones, no Buffer Zone Challenge. If, as Parliament wants, loads of Buffer Zones, they can have loads of Buffer Zone Challenge!
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.
The Buffer Zone Challenge so far
Christian Voice stands for Biblical values in law and public policy. We oppose limits on Christian freedom of speech and we stand for life. The Buffer Zone Challenge started as a protest against abortion. The Lord has led us rather into showcasing the stupidity of the buffer zones, praying and showing it is legal to preach inside them, and if the Lord so leads, against them.
On Monday 6th February, this writer attended Marie Stopes abortion facility inside the Ealing Buffer Zone. I spoke, not against abortion, but against buffer zones. That is perfectly legal under the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) within the buffer zone.
British Pregnancy Advisory Service (sic) building in Ophir Road, Bournemouth.
Staff came out and were unfriendly. They claimed to have called the police. The Police failed to turn up in a timely fashion, so the Ealing Buffer Zone Challenge was considered done and came to an end.
On Tuesday at Twickenham I reported in, and about, the Buffer Zone and gave a brief Gospel message. No staff came out of the BPAS facility, which was some fifty yards away, and no police or council staff arrived.
One aspect of the reporting was on the words which, according to the PSPO, one is not allowed to utter within the zone (see below). We also considered how many verses of the King James Bible that would proscribe. The KJV is the Bible which King Charles will be given at his coronation in May. All the PSPO’s have the same forbidden words. Twickenham has an extra one (qv).
Lawful to preach the Gospel!
On Wednesday, in Bournemouth, I was greeted by around four police officers. I set up on the green opposite the BPAS facility, reported on the Buffer Zone as before and gave a brief Gospel message. View the whole thing on YouTube HERE.
The police officers heard every word and found nothing contrary to the PSPO, which you will find HERE. They heard, they saw, and we all parted on amicable terms. The abortionists and their supporters were left clueless as to how to react. READ this revealing account in the Bournemouth Echo. In short, we established it is entirely lawful to preach the Gospel inside the Buffer Zones. So that is what we need to do:
Marie Stopes Abortion Facility in Wynnstay Grove, Fallowfield, Manchester
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
On Thursday, in Manchester, council employees as well as police formed the welcoming party. Adrian, the council chap, asked me to conduct my presentation, still in the buffer zone, but not in the actual cul-de-sac containing the Marie Stopes facility. Being a very reasonable man, and not wishing to be charged with interfering with ‘service users’ or staff, I agreed. It appears buffer zones divide into primary and secondary areas. Who knew? PSPO HERE.
Strange contrast
There is a strange contrast between claims from the abortionists that they are merely providing ‘medical care’ or a ‘medical procedure’ or ‘reproductive health care’ and comments from Dr Rupa Huq MP and others that women feel distressed by pro-life counsellors outside abortion centres. Pro-lifers can ‘bring on all these feelings of guilt and shame’, she has said.
What other ‘medical procedure’ does that? If you have a tooth extracted, or a hip replaced, do you feel ‘guilt and shame?’ Could it be that what MSI and BPAS are offering is rather more serious than ‘medical care’? Perhaps it is their ‘product’ itself which can leave a woman distressed for the rest of her life?
It appears the whole debate revolves around a question never asked, let alone answered: ‘Is that a human being in a mother’s womb?’
The prohibited Biblical words
Birmingham Buffer Zone notice.
With KJV equivalents in brackets):
Abortion: 0 occurrences. You may say ‘child sacrifice’ would be a KJV equivalent. If we were in a buffer zone, we could not possibly comment.
Baby (or babe): 6 occurrences.
Babies (or babes): 9 occurrences.
Mum (or mother): 297 occurrences.
Womb (unique to Twickenham): 69 occurrences.
Soul (seriously): 432 occurrences.
Kill: 119 occurrences.
(‘Slay’ would add another 113.)
Murder: 9 occurrences.
Hell: 54 occurrences (many from the Lord Jesus!).
That is over 1,000 verses from the KJV a preacher is not allowed to say in the Buffer Zone. Looking for positives, that leaves preachers 30,000 more. ‘Sin’ is not a proscribed word, for a start. Or ‘repent’.
But we say nowhere, certainly in a nation with a Christian constitution, can be allowed to become a no-go area for any portion of the word of God.
Buffer Zones are ridiculous
So the Holy Spirit has taken me in a different direction to how I was thinking before. I have shown the Buffer Zones are ridiculous and also shown that it is legal to preach within them. (So long as you don’t quote their forbidden words!)
BPAS Birmingham
On Friday, in Birmingham, praise God we had our first engagement with a hostile member of the public. This is where Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested for appearing silently to pray. No police and no council people arrived.
I stood just inside the Buffer Zone boundary on Station Road to speak about buffer zones, then moved two paces to my right to preach against abortion. That is how crazy the law is. But it is clearly designed to prevent pro-life witness, at the abortion sites themselves, to women contemplating abortion. Download the PSPO HERE.
I am very grateful to all who have come along to observe or support. Thank God for a successful Buffer Zone Challenge with no breaches and no arrest. The abortionists were left flat-footed. Things, we believe, are changing in the heavenly realm. And as St David said, let us ‘Do the Little Things’ (‘Gwnewch y pethau bychain’). Because, when we do the little things which only we can do, we show our prayer is serious and we can leave the big things, the miracles, to the Almighty.
PRAYER
READ: Gen 4:10-11; Exod 23:7; Numb 35:33; Deut 18:10, 27:25; 2Kings 3:27; Job 31:15; Psalm 106:37-38, 139; Prov 24:11, 31:8; Ezek 16:36-38; Amos 1:13; Micah 6:7; Mark 10:14; Luke 1:41-44; Gal 1:15.
PRAY: Please pray for the grace and protection of the Lord of hosts in the mighty name of Jesus. Pray for his hand to be over the Buffer Zone Challenge. Pray the Lord raises up others for the Buffer Zone Challenge. It is not necessary to do them all, or to do them all in a week. Make a record of yourself being there. Pray also for pro-life pavement counsellors that the Lord will add to their number and give them wisdom, power of the Holy Spirit as well as the love and grace which motivates them in the first place. Pray for the women going in, and those prevented from making an informed choice (in a God-fearing nation there would be no such ‘choice’ to be made) because of the buffer zones. And pray for those in authority, our MPs and Peers, the Councils and the Police. May God send his fear and his wisdom into their hearts.

A controversial gender clinic is facing mass legal action from children who allege they were pressured into taking life-altering puberty blockers.
Lawyers predict that 1,000 families will join a medical negligence case against Tavistock Clinic. According to reports from the Times, the lawsuit alleges that vulnerable children were misdiagnosed and set on a harmful medical path.
These families are accusing the gender identity development service (GIDS) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust of multiple failures in its duty of care.
Transgender clinic shut down by NHS
On 28th July 2022, the NHS ordered the closure of the Central Transgender clinic by spring 2023. This follows a damning interim report by Dr. Hilary Cass, a former president at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
According to the BBC, the closure includes Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. The announcement was made after several allegations by parents and whistleblowers. The claims were on the capacity, competence and long-term negative effects of treatment on teenagers.
Furthermore, the shut-down was also triggered by a case brought against the clinic by Keira Bell who regretted the entire transition process of being treated with puberty blockers.
Young People in Substantial Danger
Dr Hilary Cass
The formation of a special body to evaluate Tavistock Clinic activities stems on allegations that Tavistock was medicalising children without seeking parental consent.
long-term irreparable effects caused by doctor’s prescriptions on youngsters were also discovered as seen.
Consequently, Dr. Cass’s Commission stated that the Tavistock clinic is not a safe place for children. The BBC reports that the review, which will be completed in 2023, has criticised Tavistock Clinics’ treatment guidelines as putting young people at risk of poor mental health.
Dr. Hilary expressed concern that young people were ‘at substantial danger’ of poor mental health and anxiety. She added that the Tavistock clinic was ‘not a safe or viable long-term alternative for young people.’
Meanwhile, new centres based in London and in the Northwest of England should be fully open in spring 2023. Dr. Cass stated that it would run in conjunction with leading children’s hospitals, including Great Ormond Street and Alder Hey.
They would aim to support young people under the age of 18 struggling with gender identity.
Medical practitioners at the Tavistock Gender Clinic may have forgotten a part of the Hippocratic Oath which says ‘First, do no harm ’.
Doctors Warn Against Use Of Puberty Blockers
In several European countries doctors moved to ban the use of puberty lockers for children and adolescents. According to the Daily Mail, 13 adolescents who were administered puberty blockers appeared to have adverse reactions in Sweden.
In a fact sheet, the Florida Department of Health cited a lack of conclusive evidence and the potential for long-term, irreversible effects. The report warned against transitioning, puberty blockers and surgery as treatment options for children and adolescents.
Disbandment of Gender Identity Service
Keira Bell
Reports from the BBC shows that the Tavistock Clinic’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) has been administering puberty blockers to children as treatment for gender dysphoria since 2011.
In the same vein, Judges who presided over the case said ‘For treatment of those over 16 It is normally presumed that they have the ability to give consent. However, in gender reassignment cases where puberty blockers may lead to subsequent surgical operations, the court should be sought prior to commencing the clinical treatment.’ Clinicians should have required ‘the informed consent of those children and young persons to whom such drugs are prescribed.’
In Paragraph 7 and 8, Section A of the introduction and background of the Bell-v-Tavistock judgment, it was clearly stated that the issue was whether informed consent in the legal sense can be given by children and young persons.
Though Keira’s victory was nullified by the Court of Appeal, it nevertheless unveiled the dangers of puberty blockers.
Victory for common sense
Ms. Bell’s mini-win is significant for teenagers and pre-pubescent youngsters who are not yet of legal age to make sane decisions. Moreover, the High Court’s ruling stated unequivocally that minors aged 13 and younger are extremely unlikely to be competent enough to consent to the administration of puberty blockers.
Interestingly, the judges of the case expressed concern in the instance of 16 and 17-year-olds, where there is typically a statutory presumption of capability to consent. This was a remarkable judgment and a triumph for common sense. Hence, for a youngster in puberty, becoming transgender is not only a promise of relief from their problems, but it is also a source of new problems. Why? Because humans cannot change their gender. The Lord Jesus himself said:
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Our biology also determines whether we are male or female. It can not be changed.
Dangers Of Puberty Blockers
The Times reported a pro-trans campaigning group identified as Mermaids claiming that using puberty blockers is like hitting a pause button in the human body.
During a meeting hosted at Newman University Birmingham in December 2021, a trainer for the transgender campaign group asserted that ‘Puberty blocker medication has no effect. “It’s completely reversible.” What it does is put a pause button on the pituitary gland and freezes puberty where it is. Not growth, just puberty.’
The NHS on its website admits that the effects of hormone blockers include suppression of body features. In men, these characteristics include facial hair, deep voices, and Adam’s apples. It is the cessation of breast and menstruation in females.
Therefore, the subjection of children to gender identity development services is tantamount to child abuse and robbing children of their future. The Bible says:
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Our Lord established, way before the Nuremburg Code, a fundamental principle of medicine. People take a medicine because they are sick. So what sickness do puberty blockers heal? Is growing up a sickness needing medication? Is having a different body from the one you think you ought to have a sickness demanding a pill?
Puberty Blockers Halted in Sweden
Sweden’s government ended the practice of prescribing puberty blockers and crossed-sex hormones for under 18s on 5th May 2021. The order according to Society for Gender Based Evidence Medicine(SEGM ),was due to concerns over harm and uncertain results in a major policy shift.
Karolinska Institute. Source : Oneofus
Ricard Nergardh, one of Sweden’s leading paediatricians, in a lawsuit relating to a young swede identified as ‘Leo’, said puberty blockers ‘chemically castrate’ children.
In April 2022, a local paper reported the case of ‘Leo’ who among others suffered consequences of puberty blockers. The treatment was administered to her at 11. Leo’s back hurts whenever she stands or walks.
Consequently, the young Swede is one of 13 transgender children of the 440 treated by the country’s Karolinska University Hospital who were found by a Swedish television crew to have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the puberty blockers.
Their ailments include liver damage, unexplained weight gains of up to two stone and mental health problems. In Ms. Leo’s case, skeletal damage and a failure to grow as tall as she should.
Currently, Leo suffers spinal fractures and a condition called osteopenia, which weakens the bones, making them more liable to break. It is a disease that is often seen in people aged 60 or 70 and is almost impossible to reverse.
In the mean time, Sweden’s health chiefs say the case of 24-year-old Keira Bell influenced their decision to halt the use of puberty blockers as the Mail reports here.
A New Day
The closure of the Central Transgender Clinic is a great start . However, Keira Bell will not be the last child to regret the treatment.
Parents, guardians and health practitioners should help children find themselves in God rather than try to change them. Nevertheless, both the closure decision and the class action are steps in the right direction. It a small but significant answer to prayer to the Glory of God.
Read and Pray
Genesis 1:27; Exodus 18: 21; Nehemiah 4:14; Mark 5:26-29 Thank God for Keira Bell’s Victory Pray for children going through puberty Pray for the fear of God in the life of Children Pray for humility, wisdom and the fear of God for our Leaders

The first Drag Queen Story Hour for children in a UK tour of council libraries was disrupted on 24th July. According to a local paper, the event in Reading Library was interrupted with protests both inside and outside. Police had to escort the performer, one Sab Samuel, from the building.
Protests at libraries
Subsequent sessions for children in other council libraries have also faced major disruptions. According to the Daily Mail, another standoff occurred at Welling Library in southeast London on 30th July. Again, Sab Samuel was the performer as ‘Aida H Dee’.
The events have angered parents owing to what they describe as the ‘sexualised’ image of men dressed up as women.
Protesters also included individuals who believe the story time should continue, confronting those concerned it will corrupt impressionable young minds. Despite the outcry, sessions are still scheduled and a photo of the act with individuals who took part has been released online.
On 28th July, demonstrators outside Henleaze Library in Bristol disrupted a reading due to begin at 11 am. The event was delayed and then cancelled according to the BBC.
The Daily Mail reports that around 15 people staged a demonstration against the tour and maintained Sab Samuel (the performer) was ‘illegally grooming children.’ Images posted on Daily Mail shows protesters with placards written ‘stop grooming kids,’ ‘stop sexualising our children’. ‘Wake up, this is child abuse’ among other inscriptions.
Meanwhile, counter-protestors branded the group ‘fascists’ and claimed to be standing up for parents, children and, of course, drag queens.
Previous Cancellations
Drag Summer Tour
The BBC reported on 24th June 2020 that a drag queen story-telling tour for children was cancelled after comments online. Sab Samuel was set to read to children via the Leeds Libraries Facebook page. But Leeds City Council said it stopped the Drag Queen Story Hour virtual event because it received a number of concerns.
In a statement, Leeds City Council said, ‘As it was being hosted in a new online format and because these concerns were expressed shortly before it was due to take place, the decision was made to cancel this event. This is to enable the service have the opportunity to properly consider concerns which have been raised.’
Speaking to the BBC, Sab Samuel said ‘I am being labelled misogynistic and a pedophile. I am told I should be crucified and how I was sexually objectifying children.’ Mr. Samuel has continued with the tour regardless of these concerns. He maintains the tour is to give kids a good reading experience this summer.
The Drag Queen Project
Drag Queen Story Poster 2022 (2) showing locations. Click on the picture for the poster in a higher resolution.
Drag Queen Story Hour is a project run by the afore-mentioned 27-year-old Sab Samuel. He performs as Aida H Dee for three to 11-year-olds. He dresses up in multicoloured sequinned outfits with a red wig and heavy make-up.
The event is a summer tour scheduled between July to September 2022. Almost 70 events in 20 areas of Britain are being visited over the next two months by Drag Queen Story Hour UK.
The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 18; 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Do Children Really Need This?
There has been a plethora of online and physical protests against the Drag Queen Story Hour, particularly on Twitter. Louise Ashworth @Ashworth101 replied to @DragStoryHourUK saying, ‘why would men who enjoy dressing as vulgar sexualised parodies of women want to read to small children?’
The Bible condemns men wearing women’s clothing and vice versa. For example:
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
The Drag Queen tour has left some wondering if the event is truly about giving children a good reading experience or if it is the parents themselves who love the experience. A Twitter user, ComeFaldaDiNeve @SaturnIsHead, who saw the reading, gave his opinion. He wrote, ‘It’s hilarious to see the adults had a good time with this man who was checked I presume before reading to children. They (the children) look bored. Trying to do what they are told to do to please those parents.’
Parents Trying to Look Cool
Similarly, @Linear_Park wrote that parents care more about showing how cool they are with drag than wondering why that man is sitting between two little girls who are not relatives of his.
These claims are yet to be proven as the focus has been to put a complete halt to the entire tour. However, the calls and prayers to discontinue this tour are non-negotiable. The minds and future of children must be protected at all cost. The Bible says:
Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
As much as the event has been under fire, other parents do not think it is harmful to children. Ellie King @CllrEllieking tweeted, ‘Thank you for a wonderful session in Hillfields library. The children were beaming with joy and laughter. We were proud to have you there. Sorry about the protests. Hate and fear will not win. You are welcome in Bristol’. That remains to be seen.
Christian Voice Outreach
ChristianVoice Outreach
In June 2019, Christian Voice UK held an outreach against Drag Queen Story Hour in front of Wembley library. The National Director, Stephen Green, said,’It is not ok to promote deviant lifestyles to little children’.
Furthermore, an article published on the Christian Voice UK website two weeks before the commencement invited Christians in the UK to attend the outreach. It encouraged Christians to speak up for what is right in accordance with God’s command.
As it is written:
Mark 16: 15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that beliveth not shall be damned.
The psalmist writes:
Psalm 127:3 Children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Let us protect them from the evil of drag queen story hour.
Read and Pray
Matthew 18:1-5, 10; 1 John 3: 7; Ephesians 6:4.
Pray for the minds of children that attend these events Pray for every Christian who has been sharing the Gospel at each tour Cancel every plan orchestrated by the devil through such events to corrupt the minds of children Pray for sound leadership and the will of God in our nation.
If you are so moved as to go and witness against one of the events, please let us know. Our Director of Street Witness will be pleased to either join you or give you advice. Phone us or send an email.

In 1861, the church of All Saints, Monkland was at the centre of a project that changed church life in the English-speaking world.
The then vicar, Rev Sir Henry Williams Baker and his committee created Hymns Ancient and Modern which has become the leading hymnbook in the modern church.
This remarkable book includes Abide with me; Eternal Father, strong to save; The King of Love my shepherd is and many more favourites that we all love singing.
(The Sunday services are, as for any service, absolutely free apart from voluntary donations to Monkland Church.)

The UK Prime Minister has refused to rule out another lockdown if a pandemic struck the country.
Boris Johnson went back on his word in an interview with Conservative MPs Esther McVey and Philip Davies on GB News. The prime minister went on to say the government must strike a balance between public health and saving lives. But all the evidence shows lockdown did neither.
Negative effects
Despite acknowledging the negative effects of lockdowns on the country’s mental health, he could not rule out future lockdowns. “I can’t say we wouldn’t be forced to do non-pharmaceutical interventions of the kind we did again,” he said when asked to rule out a future lockdown.
Mr. Johnson promised no more lockdowns in February when laying out his recovery plans. The Independent records the prime minister declaring the steps he was taking were ‘irreversible.’

The prime minister even revealed that obesity had increased in the UK as a result of lockdown. His reaction was legislation requiring restaurants with more than 250 employees to list calorie counts on their menus.
The Great Barrington Declaration
In October 2020 over 6,000 scientists and health experts joined a global movement calling for an end to lockdown policies, citing “grave concerns.” They added that the approach had a devastating impact on both mental health and society, according to a BBC report published on 7th October 2020.
In a statement now known as the Great Barrington Declaration, the health professionals called for a focus on the protection of the vulnerable, while leaving healthy people to get on with their lives.
The statement, dated 4th October 2020 highlighted the consequences of lockdown such as lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease, and deteriorating mental health. These, said the signatories, could lead to increased mortality and grave injustice for out-of-school students in the future. Currently, there are over 929,000 signatures on the declaration opposing future lockdowns, and the group is seeking more.
Turn to prayer
Thank God that covid-19 infections, admissions and deaths are falling. Praise God for those who have now realised lockdown and restrictions were a tragic mistake. Christian Voice denounced lockdown as ungodly from the start and we were criticised for it, even by some Christians.
We said then and repeat now that no public health problem was ever been solved by putting people out of work, which the Bible describes as a gift of God. Also pray for a change of heart among the Government to rule out ‘non-pharmaceutical interventions’ for ever.
Eccl 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. Isaiah 3:15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

The producers behind the Family Sex Show have announced that their exploitative and potentially abusive production has now been scrapped from theatres. The show will no longer go ahead in Bristol or at the Norwich festival and will only be performed to a ‘selected invited audience’ at Bath.
I just phoned the box office Egg theatre in Bath to see whether or not tickets were available to purchase by members of the general public and staff confirmed that they had been taken off sale.
This is a phenomenal victory and thanks to the almost 39,000 of you who signed our petition.
The producers of the show are unrepentant, claiming that the cancellation is due to illegal threats of violence and abuse from a ‘few extremists’.
Sadly, it seems as though the producers have learned nothing. There was nothing in our campaign that constituted either abuse or violent threats and we hope that any illegality has been duly reported to the police.
39,000 people is not a handful of ‘extremists’ either. This was thousands of ordinary mums, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and godparents, standing up in defence of children.
The show was never about educating children, but prematurely sexualising them. Children were being subjected to full-frontal adult nudity without their consent and introduced to inappropriate topics like BDSM.
The Family Sex Show repeatedly claimed that they had taken advice from child safeguarding experts, however the show contravened NSPCC guidelines. After they were contacted, the NSPCC also said that not only had they never heard of it, they also had no input into devising it
A number of CitizenGO members contacted me directly to let me know that they had also outlined the contents of the Family Sex Show to their local police force to ascertain whether or not the production was in breach of any indecent exposure or child protection laws, and that the police also expressed their concern.
It is a violation of children’s rights and boundaries for an adult to strip naked in front of them and initiate conversations of a sexually explicit nature.
The campaign was never about banning freedom of expression, but protecting children. I had been been planning to step up the campaign today and had a number of offline actions planned, that will now no longer be necessary.
I will be watching developments closely over the next week however and will not hesitate to act should it emerge that children will be attending the private performance. The show has yet to confirm whether or not the performers who are so keen to strip in front of children have been subject to any DBS checks or what checks are being made on those adults who would wish to take children to this performance.
The campaign was phenomenally successful and picked up by a number of media outlets and social media influencers. I made two interventions on Talk Radio and BBC Radio Bristol and we featured in a number of excellent articles.
People are beginning to come to their senses and realise that tolerance and respect for the LGBT community must never entail the premature sexualisation of children or erosion of their natural boundaries. This victory would not have been possible without every single one of your signatures. Together we can change the world.
A day later, the Princess said, in a tweet: “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.
