An investigation has cleared a senior British Army officer who was forced to quit after being criticised for commenting that “men cannot be women”.
Colonel Dr Kelvin Wright, 54 attributed his comment on Facebook to Dr Helen Joyce, author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.
Until his early retirement, Colonel Wright had served as commanding officer of 306 Hospital Support Regiment.
He had faced major administrative action for sharing the post, a process with possible sanctions including a reduction in rank and formal censure. The Army’s final report has now concluded that his Facebook post was “clearly not unlawful” even though some would find it “disagreeable”.
In disclosures made to Dr. Wright, senior officers made disparaging comments about personnel who hold gender critical views, and even said that expressing a gender critical view was incompatible with holding a command position.
Dr. Wright is now making a formal Service Complaint to challenge discrimination and hostility within the Army towards service personnel with gender critical views.
Systematic gender problem
Dr. Wright responding to the outcome of the investigation said: ‘I’ve been vindicated in my case, but the Army has a systemic problem where gender critical opinions are concerned. I want to ensure that nobody can be put through the type of process I’ve just endured.
‘I’m in a relatively privileged position where my ability to pay the bills doesn’t depend on my Army career. I’m fighting now for the rights of those in more precarious circumstances. The Army needs to attract all the talent it can; it can’t afford this blatant hostility to gender critical service personnel.’
A spokesman for the Free Speech Union said: ‘The complaint should never have been taken seriously. Now the Army has lost a first-rate officer who saved lives in Afghanistan.
‘We’ve seen from other cases how endemic this ideology is across the Armed Forces. Senior leaders need to get a grip, refocus the military on its core mission, and stop punishing personnel who refuse to accept the claims of trans rights activists.
‘We will continue to assist Dr. Wright and any other service personnel who fall foul of the military’s bizarre insistence on enforcing this dogma.’
Ezekiel 16:49; Romans 1:25-27; 1 Cor 6:9; Gal 5:19; Col 3:5; Hebrews 13:4.
Thank God for the life of Glawdys Leger. Pray for the strenght of God throughtout the process. Pray for HIs Majesty’s Government to repeal wickedness and enact righteousness.

The objects of the National Council for Christian Standards in Society, the governing charity of Christian Voice are ‘the promotion of the principles of historical biblical Christianity and the information and education of the national public and of responsible authorities on the basis of these principles in particular.’
What better place to inform and educate ‘the responsible authorities’ than the Conservative Party Conference?
Stephen giving out our leaflets at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester.
The Conference was scheduled for 1st to 4th October 2023. Our National Director went to Manchester on Monday 2nd to give out leaflets (‘tracts’ if you like!) outside:
1 The Conference itself at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, Windmill St, Manchester M2 3GX.
2 Bruges Group Fringe Meeting at the Friends’ Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester M2 5NS.
The leaflets set out some of our national sins and government incompetence and called for humility and wisdom in our rulers, for them to govern for the Lord and for the people, the two great commandments, instead of for themselves and the elites:
Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
When we pray and do the little things that only we can do, we can trust the Lord to do what only he can do. Yes, that’s the miraculous. Who knows what doors he is going to open as a result of this small effort.

Are you for wisdom or absurdity? For people or elites?
Because you can’t have it both ways.
The political philosopher John Gray says we have moved into an age of absurdity. For example, he says, ‘in Germany, the result of their closing down of nuclear and going for renewables has been an increased reliance on the dirtiest kind of coal’. Germany, it appears, is not alone in such absurdity. The Lord Jesus asked:
Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They never counted the cost of their net zero policies. They commanded that all vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They may now be pushing that back five years.
That decision alone makes Professor Gray’s point. It is policy made up on the hoof. 2040 became 2030, then 2030 becomes 2035 overnight. The policy has no rational basis. Did our leaders ever think net zero through as the Lord Jesus assumed any normal person would?
Did they count the cost of the necessary infrastructure, assess generating capacity and cover for wind and solar, the environmental impact of EV batteries, the effect on UK security and jobs if it were all made overseas, or the effect of heavier vehicles on our roads? Did they ask the public if they wanted to pay thousands of pounds a year for net zero? Did such a demand ever appear in a manifesto? The answer to these questions is ‘No’.
They allow solar panels on good farmland and pay speculators to plant trees on it, so a better tree is cut down in Brazil to provide the food we should have raised. It is beyond incompetent.
Politics of absurdity
At his coronation just five months ago, King Charles reaffirmed our Christian constitution. His Majesty promised to ‘maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel’. Are his ministers honouring that pledge?
Archbishop Welby reminded the king to be a servant to the people. Is impoverishing the population and enriching the elites by absurd policies part of that job description?
G K Chesterton said: ‘When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything’.
Politicians can now believe that a man may declare himself a woman or that a woman can sport male genitalia. Once more, it is the politics of absurdity. Leading civil servants say it runs all through the corridors of power. Indeed, the MOD’s JSP 889 shows trans ideology is now the policy of His Majesty’’s Government. Who allowed that to happen? The Bible says it is God who decides the sexes, not us:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Why do the Government not allow parents to see Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) materials taught to their children? Who thought it would be a good idea to allow sex educators to tell children bare-faced lies or encourage them to ‘socially transition’ to the opposite sex?
The Government promised guidance to stop that. They have failed to publish it because it may contravene the Equality Act. They have been in office for thirteen years and they have only just noticed the absurdity of the Equality Act? And they are too weak to do anything about it?
Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty
The Equality Act compels public authorities to promote homosexuality and gender reassignment. We legalised abortion in 1967 but earlier this year parliament sided with those shedding innocent blood by enacting buffer zones around all abortion facilities in England and Wales.
Not only are those who lead us so arrogant that they legalise things God says in his word are evil and even promote them here and abroad, not only are they so lacking in humility they distort the market by banning things God never banned, but they are so stupid they do not even cost it out and so lacking in wisdom they fail to think any of it through.
On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that they imposed Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions in opposition to the laws of God. They imposed mRNA vaccines on healthy young people who never needed them. There was no cost-benefit analysis for any of it. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption. Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God:
Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Government doesn’t have to be like this, but the only way out is for those in office to recognise they are human not divine, seek the Lord in humility and ask for his wisdom. It is written:
Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
God longs to bless us
As we are a Christian group, you’ll expect us to take this opportunity to bring you up to speed with what we believe.
We serve a God concerned about the whole of life, about nations, families and individuals, who gave us righteous laws to live by and to ensure a stable society. Men may think they know better than God, but trying to go another way brings upon us instability and destruction. In the Bible we read about King Rehoboam, who, like today’s rulers, made a stupid decision which cost him dearly. But he came to his senses, and we read:
2Chron 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
We love our nation and we want things to go well, so we pray our leaders will humble themselves and seek the Lord, by the grace of God.
A bit of good news
At a personal level, Christianity teaches that your sin separates you from God, but that if you believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, he will forgive your sin and give you the power of the Holy Spirit to live a new, better, forgiven life. The first public words of Jesus, recorded in Mark’s Gospel, are a command:
Mark 1:15: ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel’.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ brings forgiveness and salvation, healing and deliverance. Whatever sin or spiritual power is holding you back, you will find release and freedom in Jesus to live life to the full. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ today, make him your Saviour and Lord and he will show you his purpose for your life.
Reverse side
Politicians in our constitutionally-Christian United Kingdom have ditched Christianity, wisdom and ’love thy neighbour’ and are now floundering in absurdity and what they can get away with.
Whether it’s net zero, the trans debate, sex education, buffer zones or Covid, those who lead us lurch from one disaster to the next, clueless and only out for themselves.
We call on our politicians, their advisors and civil servants to turn away from godlessness and stupidity and honour the King of kings. Only then will our nation be blessed.

Over 1,000 NHS staff have received invitations to attend what is called a three-day “diversity” conference that will feature conversations on pronouns and gender.
This event, taking place from October 3 to October 5, is being hosted by Bromley Healthcare, the primary contractor for community healthcare services in south-east London.
The conference agenda encompasses discussions on topics such as “pronouns, language, and LGBTQ+ allyship,” as well as “gender and LGBTQ+ sessions designed for colleagues working with children.”
It’s worth noting that this event is occurring despite the NHS facing significant backlogs in its healthcare services. According to the Telegraph, healthcare staff were told to complete “mandatory unconscious bias training”.
Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP, said: ‘This kind of ‘training’ is not only a complete waste of taxpayers’ money, it is also deeply divisive, spreading destructive ideas that the majority of the population rejects.
‘Unconscious bias’ training has been shown to be a worthless exercise and we should be deeply concerned that the NHS is encouraging its staff to talk to children in their care about sex and sexuality.
‘The Government should introduce a ban on all public sector training that does not directly relate to the activities for which staff are employed.’
Woke Ideology
Dame Priti Patel said: ‘The alarming rate at which woke ideology is powering through the ranks of the public sector and civil service is shocking.
‘Now we hear of mandatory lectures for health professionals whose focus should be on patient care and not pronouns.
‘The professionalism and impartiality of the machinery of the state is rightly under serious public scrutiny, so it’s about time the leadership at the top of government took responsibility and stopped the spread of such activities across the public sector.’
Over 120,000 individuals have lost their lives while awaiting NHS treatment, as the backlog reaches an unprecedented peak by July 2023, according to an analysis of health service data. High waits for treatment are not new.
Prior to the pandemic in February 2020, there were already 4.43 million people on a waiting list for care. Rather than focusing on reducing cues on the wait list, the NHS is investing in gender propaganda.
Further, Bromley Healthcare was found to require improvement in five out of six key areas of competence after its latest inspection by the independent regulator of the NHS in summer 2021.
The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) report rated the contractor’s safety standards, effectiveness, responsiveness, and leadership as requiring improvement. Only its care provision received a rating of “good”.
Issues highlighted included a failure to make “basic criminal record checks” on non-executive directors, a “variation in [the] quality” of care provided by nursing and health visiting teams, and it found “patient experience feedback was limited”.

Rishi Sunak filling up someone else's car in a publicity stunt. (Rishi does not drive a Kia.)
Rishi Sunak filling up someone else’s car in a publicity stunt. (Rishi does not drive a Kia.)
The papers and media (See ITV news HERE) are reporting that the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars may be delayed by five years as Rishi Sunak waters down his net zero pledges.
Some Tory MPs have welcomed the proposals, which will also involve pushing back the ban on gas and oil boilers. climate fanatics are furious. The BBC is talking of ‘a blizzard of criticism’. The motivation, says the Telegraph, is to ‘mark a clear line between the party and Labour at a time when it is struggling in the polls’. But the punitive quotas on how many EV’s manufacturers must sell between now and the cut-off date remain.
To be in accordance with scripture, it isn’t enough for bans on petrol and diesel cars and gas and oil boilers to be put back. There should be no bans at all. The law of God bans things which are evil, things which should not happen. That is things like murder, adultery, theft, false witness, even blasphemy and idolatry in a civilised country. Buying the sort of car the establishment think you should not buy can never be illegal in the eyes of God. Installing a boiler which happens to be the wrong sort in the eyes of the elite can never be ‘against the law’.
That’s because all laws are or should be in accordance with the laws of God.
The Prophet called out to God: Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
To go outside the laws of God into some sort of top-down command and control mentality is human arrogance. And that is whether or not there really is a climate emergency, as the media never tire of telling us.
Never forget, scientists are funding-driven and that means they are agenda-driven. They, like media folk, mix with politicians. It took the Covid debacle to reveal how science can follow policy, rather than the other way round. It also showed us how the media can swiftly become propaganda channels for government. Now we have seen all that, we cannot forget it.
Those who lead us are fallible, ambitious, self-serving human beings. They get things wrong. They focus on the short-term, on polls, on headlines.
The Lord Jesus asked: Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
The answer is, ‘British politicians and their civil servants’. They have not counted the cost of their net zero policies. They commanded that all new vehicles sold after 2030 should be electric. They may now be pushing that back five years. That decision alone makes my point. It is policy made up on the hoof. If 2030 can become 2035 overnight, the policy never had any rational basis. Did they ever think it through as the Lord Jesus assumed normal, rational human beings would do?
Mining for cobalt in the Congo (DRC). Time Africa Magazine.
Did they count the cost of all the charging points they would need for all the EV’s they demanded we buy, how people in flats would access them, how they would generate all the electricity they would need for them in time, and for all the electric heat-pumps they are instructing the public to install, how they would expand the electric grid by their self-imposed deadline to transport all the electricity they would have to generate, or even whether that electricity would remain affordable? The answer to that is ‘No’.
Did they run tests to check the life of the batteries or consider how people would pay for a new one once the old one expired? Did they assess the environmental and social impact of mining the materials for all the batteries the cars would need? Is there any installed capacity or environmental risk assessment for scrapping the old batteries? Did they ask where in the world the batteries would be made and the impact on domestic security if they and the cars and heat-pumps were made overseas? Did they even consider the impact of much heavier vehicles on roads and car parks? The answer to all these questions is ‘No’.
Renewables
This graph from the Climate Change Committee shows unrealistic aims never costed out or thought through. Black is fossil fuels, Light blue is renewables. Blue is Guaranteed power plant output, Pink is Electricity for hydrogen production, Red is Nuclear, hydro and tidal power. The graph starts at 2020 and ends at 2050, The left axis is TerawattHoiurs of electricity rising from 320 in 2020 to 790 in 2050.
They have commanded and skewed the electricity market with subsidies paid for by consumers through green taxes to drive through the installation of wind turbines and solar panels. The Climate Change Committee has a graphic showing renewables generating two-thirds of our electricity by 2050.
Have they put in place equivalent capacity from nuclear power or fossil fuels to cover those days when the sun doesn’t shine, or shines too much, or when the wind doesn’t blow, or when both of those happen together? Is such back-up capacity even being planned? Are the investing in clean coal technology or buying British nuclear plants?
For that matter, have they ruled out installing solar panels on farm-land and insisted they go on roofs? Have they told us the expected life of the turbines and the solar panels and planned for their disposal or recycling? The answer once again to all that is ‘No’.
Arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty
Not only are those who lead us so arrogant that they legalise things God says in his word are evil and promote them, not only are they so lacking in humility they distort the market by banning things God never banned, but they are so stupid they do not even cost it out and so lacking in wisdom they fail to think any of it through.
On top of that, they lack the honesty to admit it. The exact same cocktail of arrogance, stupidity and deceit meant that Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions and the imposition of mRNA vaccines were both carried out in opposition to the laws of God and were neither costed out nor thought through.
Covid corruption
Stephen Lighfoot, the Chairman of the MHRA through 2020-2023, had shares in vaccine producer Glaxo-Smith Kline. Director Amanda Calvert had shares in vaccine producer AstraZeneca.
Did they seek the Lord before ordering lockdown? Did they ask the public whether it was acceptable to classify some economic activity as ‘non-essential’ and ban it? Did they consider the effect on the national collective immune system and mental health of confining people to their homes or forbidding old folks from seeing their children and grand-children?
Did they conduct a dispassionate assessment of the effectiveness of face-masks and anti-bacterial hand-wash against an air-borne virus? Did they conduct the standard regime of even medium-term testing before they rolled out a vaccine employing innovative mRNA technology? Did they insist no-one with shares in pharmaceutical companies could sit on a regulatory board?
The answer, once again, is ‘No’. Instead, those in office and their advisors gave contracts for largely unnecessary protective equipment to their friends. To the previous mix of arrogance, stupidity and dishonesty they added corruption.
Bribery and corruption are specifically condemned in the word of God: Exod 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Changing people’s diets?
The Telegraph reported: ‘(Mr Sunak) is expected to say that there will be no policies to change people’s diets or to encourage carpooling, and no new taxes to discourage flying. He is also likely to rule out burdensome recycling schemes, including a proposal for seven bins, with six separate recycling bins plus one for general waste.’
Even to say that carries the implication that civil servants and government advisors might be considering such policies.
It should not even be under discussion whether people should be free or not to eat whatever they want and travel how they wish. The Government should not even be considering skewing the market in these areas with ‘sin taxes’.
As the Prophet Ezekiel told the rulers of his day: Ezek 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Finally, if, as we are told, the bans and impositions are mandated by the Climate Change Act 2008 and the 2050 Target Amendment Order 2019, then those acts of folly must be repealed.
Prayer
READ: Exod 18:21; 2Sam 23:2; Psalm 23:12; Jer 29:5-7; Mark 10:44; 1Tim 2:1-4.
PRAY: Thank God for this backtrack from Mr Sunak in answer to our prayer. Tell God it does not go far enough. Pray the Government will remove the ‘net zero’ targets, policies and impositions altogether. Pray for ministers to repent and have the fear of God and seek his face in humility for wisdom, honesty and to love their neighbour. May they understand that to be a ruler is to be the servant of all.

Anniversaire 1 an de la grève, Manifestation pour le climat
Greta Thunberg
Last week, the world was told that children should have the right to take national governments to court for failing to tackle climate change. But in fact, this is the United Nations using children for its own ends.
The recent report from the Committee on the Rights of the Child commends the efforts of children for being vocal on environmental crisis. It claims that it is children rather than adults who possess the kind of wisdom necessary to tackle the problems it says are ‘facing the planet’. It calls for legal affirmation and validation of the authority of children.
The Bible says wisdom is with elders, not children: Job 12:12 With the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.
The Prophet Isaiah even describes the rule of children as a curse: Isaiah 3: 4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
But the new report praises ‘the efforts of children’ for drawing attention to ‘environmental crises’.
The new report says adults are unfit to make major world-changing decisions. It puts children in a place of authority.
Part of its statement reads; ‘The efforts of children to draw attention to these environmental crises created the motivation and were the momentum behind the present general comment. The Committee benefited immeasurably from the contributions of children at its 2016 day of general discussion on children’s rights and the environment.
‘A diverse and dedicated children’s advisory team, comprising 12 advisors of between 11 and 17 years of age, supported the consultation process undertaken for the general comment, with 16,331 contributions from children, from 121 countries, through online surveys, focus groups and in-person national and regional consultations.’
The publication even quoted the children’s comments: ‘The environment is our life. Adults should stop making decisions for the future they won’t experience. We are the key means of solving climate change, as it is our lives at stake.’ ‘I would like to tell [adults] that we are the future generations and, if you destroy the planet, where will we live?.’
The Bible tells us to respect what has been put in place by previous generations: Pro 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
In 2019, Greta Thunberg became famous as the prominent figure of the school strike for Climate movement when she was only 15 years old. In the subsequent year, she received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Her acclaim has consistently been rooted in her criticism of adults, whom she accuses of shirking their responsibility for environmental issues.
Greta Thunberg speaks at the first anniversary of School Strike for Climate.
The 17-year-old activist wrote on the Friends of the Earth website, ‘Adults are letting us down when it comes to climate change, which is why I am striking.’
The use of Greta Thunberg by the elites follows a familiar pattern. The UN is sold out to climate fanaticism and thinks it can use the voices of children to achieve ends which the more sober-minded might be inclined to reject.
During a speech delivered at the United Nations climate-change summit in December 2018, Ms Thunberg declared, ‘Given that our leaders are acting irresponsibly, we must now shoulder the responsibilities they ought to have assumed long ago.’ But all that means is they do not agree with her, not that they are irresponsible.
A regressive trend
Children have readily embraced the call to doubt the intentions of their elders. They are willing to attend rallies and protests which often feature posters proclaiming messages such as ‘You’ll Die of Old Age, We’ll Die of Climate Change’ or ‘I Am Skipping School Because You Are Neglecting Our Future.’
A sign at an anti-Brexit rally.
Furthermore, during an anti-Brexit protest in London, a sign boldly declaring ‘Adults Ruin Everything. Stop Brexit’ encapsulated the broader sentiment of holding adults accountable, extending beyond environmental concerns. This can only be cultural decadence where children are used to fuel ideologies.
The UK has a ‘youth parliament‘. We read: ‘Once elected, Members of Youth Parliament meet with MPs and local councillors, organise events, run campaigns, make speeches, hold debates, and ensure the views of young people are listened to by decision makers.’
In reality, the ‘youth parliaments’ are run and insulated by adults. No child is able to lobby their youth ‘member of parliament’.
Leaders count the cost
Parents and leaders are put in the place of authority for a reason. Their age and experience of life imbues them with wisdom. Their role is to lead, provide counsel in times of chaos, make meaningful decisions, and provide for the family. God has not reversed these roles.
The UN committee is engaging in a dishonest attempt to promote its political agenda through the medium of children’s rights. But encouraging children to speak against the authority of their elders is disrespectful and a sin before God.
The Bible establishes a wider principle of respect for elders when it states: Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
In addition, it is adults, not children, who are given the job of planning for the future, making all the decisions to do with cost-benefit analysis: Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
1 Chronicles 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat.
1 Kings 12:8 , Prov 16:3, 16:9, 19:20-21, Luke 14:28, Phil 1:6, Heb 8:5.

Schools In the United Kingdom are using “gender-neutral” uniform policies. These policies allow students to select their clothing based on their self-identified gender rather than being categorised as the way God created them (boys or girls).
Many schools are now using terms like “Uniform A” and “Uniform B” instead of traditional gender-specific labels.
Even primary schools have eliminated uniforms that are designated by gender, enabling children as young as four to wear clothing that aligns with the gender they choose to identify as.
According to the Daily Mail private schools, including Britain’s most expensive, Brighton College, plus Christian state primaries and secondaries and sixth form colleges nationwide have adopted gender policies.
In many cases, the words boy and girl are erased from uniform policy documents, replaced by “Uniform A” and “Uniform B.”
Children’s mental health is under threat due to the ongoing “Relationships and Sex Education” (RSE) propaganda in schools.
Retired head Chris McGovern, chairperson of the Campaign for Real Education, told the Mail: ‘Schools are adding to the mental health problems of children who, after going into school, no longer know what gender they belong to.
‘It’s time we had a government with the backbone to intervene.’
Even Christian state schools, based on Church of England teachings, are among those removing children’s gender from uniform policies.
Ellesmere Port Church of England College, in Cheshire, does not use the words boy or girl to “ensure all pupils feel part of the College’s community.”
Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
The government has repeatedly delayed the release of its “school transgender guidance” following advice from its legal counselors, who said that it would violate the Equality Act 2010.
Rather than take actions, the Mr Rishi Sunak has sorted to using the phrase “extreme caution” and “taking more time to hear from experts”.
Earlier this year, education secretary Gillian Keegan, was asked by Sky News if she thought 16 was too young for people to change gender. Keegan replied, ‘No, I don’t, actually. I was working at 16, I was paying tax at 16, I was making decisions for myself at 16.’ Sunak dithers on issuing guidance to schools while keeping in post an education secretary who thinks changing gender is like getting a Saturday job.’
‘We have to be very sensitive to children. We are actually going to publish some guidance and consult because it is a very tricky area to get right,’ she said.
‘It has to be age appropriate, but children have to be supported as well.’
Parents take charge
The RSE propaganda in schools across the UK is a sign that parents should take charge of their children’s life and education. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) propaganda is sold to children who have no business knowing about “trans” ideologies.
A few weeks ago, a parent in Hull decided that their child would not be part of this RSE propaganda, and withdrew their four-year-old from a pre-school over inappropriate images.
Meanwhile, the UK Home Office has adopted the “gender neutral” policy. Civil servants, particularly “nonbinary staff”, are given male and female security passes, allowing them to change their gender identity daily.
According to the Home Office’s “gender reassignment and gender identity” policy, “nonbinary” officials can present the gender which matches their identity on a daily basis.

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?

Civil servants, particularly “nonbinary staff”, are given male and female security passes, allowing them to change their gender identity daily.
According to the Home Office’s “gender reassignment and gender identity” policy, “nonbinary” officials can present the gender which matches their identity on a daily basis.
The guidance, issued in 2010, updated in 2021, and described as “current policy”, says: ‘This includes practical considerations such as access to premises.
‘The department has introduced dual passes for staff that wish to attend work as more than one gender.’
Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP criticised the policy in an interview with the Telegraph.
Ms Cates said the nonbinary pass policy poses serious security and safeguarding risks.
She said: ‘A policy that enables someone working in what should be a secure environment to have a different identity on different days of the week is clearly open to abuse and is unworkable.
‘The obsession of some senior civil servants with pushing gender ideology in the workplace is very concerning’, she added.
The non-binary security pass policy has been condemned by both Miriam Cates and the director of advocacy at the gender-critical group Sex Matters Helen Joyce. Ms Joyce said the policy isn’t just a waste of time and taxpayers’ money, but also discriminatory towards the majority of perfectly sensible civil servants who don’t believe in this nonsense and just want to do their job.
‘These “diversity champion” roles are clearly being used to push contested beliefs about “gender identity” as something distinct from a person’s sex.
‘That’s got no basis in either UK law or biological reality. The Home Secretary needs to get a grip and tear these policies up.’
Almost every workplace in the UK has an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) strategy as stipulated in the Equality Act 2010. Whilst legal frameworks vary across different countries, in the UK the Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection for nine protected characteristics such as age, disability, “gender reassignment”, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
However, the EDI strategy is fast becoming an avenue where only those who identify with the “LGBTQ” community have a favourable working environment, and staff with opposing views are either fired or called “homophobic. The workplace is an environment where people work to earn a living, and not being weary of how to express beliefs and views.
The Bible says, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
According to the Telegraph, Steve Dann, Chief Operating Officer of Border Force, which is part of the Home Office, wrote a blog on the department’s intranet celebrating ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, where he urged officials to use people’s “preferred pronouns”.
In the same blog, Jackie Armstrong, described as “Director of Operational Capabilities Command, Immigration Enforcement (IE). ”claimed to be a “straight ally” and the “IE LGBT+ champion”.
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.

Parents in Hull have withdrawn their four-year-old daughter from pre-school over inappropriate content in Relationships and Sex Education.
The decision follows their discovery that the school was using a book entitled “Grandad’s Pride.” The pro-gay propaganda book carries illustrations of homosexual men wearing next to nothing and women posing as men who have undergone surgical mutilation.
The Mail reports that Will and Maria Taylor, of Hull, East Yorkshire, were horrified when they spotted ‘images of men who are partially naked in leather bondage gear’ in the pages of Grandad’s Pride.
Another image featured ‘trans-men’ (that is, women) with ‘top surgery’ scars from double-mastectomy, sparking a furious reaction from parents who say that it ‘encourages body modifications too early’.
However, the Biblical reaction to their reported comment is that such mutilation should not be allowed at all, at any age, in a civilised country, let alone one like the United Kingdom that is constitutionally Christian.
‘Inappropriate content’
‘Grandad’s Pride’ is the creation of author and illustrator Harry Woodgate – who ridiculously uses “they/them pronouns”.
When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, we read: Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Note, ‘she took’ not ‘they took’, ‘her husband’ not ‘their husband’ and ‘he did eat’ not ‘they did eat’. ‘They /them’ is the plural form, as we see in the very next verse: Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Naturally, Waterstones gave Mr Woodgate an award for an earlier pro-gay book, ‘Grandad’s Camper’. He has also received an award from pro-trans lobby group Stonewall.
Meanwhile, trustees at Genesis Pre School agreed that the book had inappropriate content for children below four and have now apparently withdrawn it from their shelves. In an email seen by the BBC, the chair of trustees apologised to Mr Taylor and his family for the distress caused. However, staff at the pre-school initially defended the book which was marked as suitable for age four plus.
Naked pro-gay propaganda
Media coverage concentrated on the ‘age- inappropriate images’. Even papers like the Mail and Telegraph failed to voice concerns that ‘Grandad’s Pride’ constitutes unashamed pro-gay, pro-trans propaganda from start to finish.
There are images of posters saying ‘love is love’. (Next time someone says that to you, ask them if they are going to drink from the toilet pan. After all, ‘Water is water’.) The illustration above shows characters in the book holding up a banner calling for ‘Trans Rights Now’. The discussion between ‘Milly’ and ‘Grandad’ goes like this:
“What’s pride”, I ask. “Pride is like a giant party where we celebrate the wonderful diversity of our communities and share the message that everyone should be treated with equality and respect; no matter who they love or what gender they are”.
Having leaders, teachers, and trustees who believe children at any level deserve to be taught such a bunch of politically-correct, trite disinformation bordering on outright lies and appearing to be AI-generated poses a significant threat not just to their future but to our society as a whole. It is rebellion and a sin before God. It is simply not okay for those in charge to push pro-gay and pro-trans ideologies on children and hope their parents won’t notice.
Isa 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Publisher’s reaction
Publisher of the book Andersen Press defended its content after Genesis Pre-School in Hull decided to remove it from its shelves.
The publisher described critics’ concerns of ‘hidden messages’ in the book depicting a grandad wearing leathers for ‘Pride’ as ‘baseless, deeply offensive and homophobic.’ Furthermore, the company, along with author Harry Woodgate and the school, had all been subjected to ‘hate’ which probably translates as mild criticism.
Further, Mr Woodgate was seen in a recent video, following yet another book award, advocating for children of all ages regarding sodomy. In his words: ‘Who you are is valid, who you are should be celebrated. There are a whole community of people who are in your corner fighting for you.’
Let us pray the Lord will raise up a whole community of people standing up for children and fighting for their innocence and for righteousness. The Bible says, Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Well, the righteous can support Christian Voice and join our prayer and action campaign against RSE, and for the Lord to raise up God-fearing leaders:
Since September 2020, ‘Relationships Education’ has been compulsory for all pupils receiving primary education and ‘Relationships and Sex Education’ (RSE) for all pupils receiving secondary education in the UK. RSE policy has encouraged the promotion of “pro-gay” propaganda in schools and classified children and parents whose views differs from the ideologies of the education elite as homophobic.
The Department for Education (DFE) emphasises that primary school subjects should incorporate the fundamental elements of healthy and respectful relationships, with an emphasis on family and friendships, across all settings.
The policy also says: ‘at secondary school, teaching builds on the knowledge acquired at primary and develops pupils’ understanding of health, with an increased focus on risk areas such as drugs and alcohol, as well as introducing knowledge about intimate relationships and sex and how to have positive and healthy sexual relationships.’ You might think such an approach would emphasise age-appropriate content and conversations. But the educational establishment and the third-party sex educators take a different view, and have little respect for ‘guidelines in the admittedly rare moments these disagree with their pre-conceptions.
Sex educators recognise that children’s minds are significantly shaped during their early developmental stages. So does the Bible:
Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Let children be children
The concern shouldn’t solely rest on the exposure of children to age-inappropriate content through the “Grandad’s Pride” book. Its approval and presence within schools should never have been permitted from the start.
The Bible says, 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
The sex educators know that principle too. Their plan is that when the children grow up, they will retain the godless, amoral values they were taught in school.
Social reaction
This book has not only sparked reactions from parents, but on social media platforms.
A user @JapanesePolar tweeted: “This is Granddad’s Pride, by Harry Woodgate. Marketed for 2-7yr olds. Spot the man in fetish gear; the young woman who has had her breasts removed; the girl holding the “love is love is love” flag – classic paedophilia grooming messaging. It’s really not ‘Be Kind’.”
Another user Ali Bee@OldWomanSinging wrote: “I don’t know if anyone caught this in the foul granddad’s pride book, but a ‘Gilbert’ is slang for a paedo and of course Gilbert loves chickens.
Jane, Empress of the Known Universe (but not a GP)@blablafishcakes wrote: “It gets worse. Look what else is smuggled into the illustrations of “Grandad’s Pride”. Two MAPs alongside the sign “Love is Love is Love”. If you know the code, you know… if you don’t: MAPs are Minor Attracted Persons and Love is Love is the covert little mantra of paedophiles.”

Sri Lanka NGO Equal Ground is a foreign agent working for Western governments and foundations
Sri Lanka NGO Equal Ground is a foreign agent working for Western governments and foundations
A local NGO pushing for decriminalisation of unnatural acts and gross indecency in Sri Lanka is a foreign agent, Christian Voice can reveal.
The pro-gay non-profit Equal Ground, which also promotes the destructive ideology of transgenderism, is financially supported by the High Commissions of the UK, Canada, and Australia and the Embassies of the United States, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Equal Ground is also funded by the wealthy UK-based Sigrid Rausing Trust and the overtly-homosexual GiveOut.org. On the website of the latter, we read: ‘In 2021, GiveOut’s grant will support Equal Ground’s core costs as they continue decriminalisation efforts in Sri Lanka.’
West uses agent to meddle in Sri Lankan politics
Equal Ground’s ‘decriminalisation efforts’ have been targeted at the courts, in what is now known as ‘Strategic Litigation’. That device uses the courts to force changes to civil and criminal law. ‘Strategic Litigation’ is now a well-developed tool of foreign-funded pro-sodomy activists all over the developing world.
Let us be clear. Western foundations and governments are using a local agent, which they have set up, to interfere in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka. Imagine the row if Sri Lanka was meddling in the politics of the UK or Canada.
Equal Ground also lists the UK-based Kaleidoscope Trust as a ‘partner’ alongside US-based ‘InterPride’, the ‘Fund for Global Human Rights’ and ‘Sysco LABS’ (‘the innovation office of Sysco, the No. 1 foodservice provider in the world)’ together with the pro-trans ‘Equality Fund’, which is itself funded by the UK and Canada.
The Equal Ground NGO is now working with a Sri Lanka MP, Hon Premanath C. Dolawatte, who is attempting to garner support for a bill to decriminalise unnatural acts and gross indecency. It would be no surprise if foreign actors have already sought to channel funds to the campaign of Hon Dolawatte.
Be that as it may, foreign governments and foundations are meddling in Sri Lanka to force that nation to legalise unnatural acts, alien to family, culture, decency and the eternal laws of the Almighty:
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Article 365 of the Sri Lankan Penal Code, which dates from the time of colonial British Ceylon, like its Kenyan (Art 162) equivalent, criminalizes ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’. Article 365A prohibits gross indecency. The former offence carries a sentence of ten years while the latter is punishable by two years’ imprisonment. The offences follow divine law, but are anathema to modern Western thinking.
Sri Lanka’s Equal Ground NGO turn a beach into no-go area for families
UK-based organisations are pushing sodomy onto Sri Lanka through funding of other projects as well. The Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), boasts on its website that it funded a series of pro-LGBT short fictional propaganda films. These, it says, ‘premiered in the country in late 2021 and will go on tour around the country in 2022.’
Furthermore, the project was ‘funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and implemented in partnership with Kaleidoscope Trust (KT).’ The UK Foreign Office is caught once more interfering in the affairs of a sovereign country.
And of course the foreign-funded pro-gay Sri Lankan-based ‘Equal Ground’ NGO was a ‘local CSO partner’ in the enterprise.
NGO transparency
Speaking on transparency, ‘Equal Ground’ say: ‘We will not withhold information about our activities or finances from our donors. If we make a mistake, we will own up to it and find a way to correct it.’
What they will not do is admit to is how much their donors give or the sum of their total income and operating expenses. Their Equal Ground 2021 annual report does not name any donors. Only on page 5 of their latest 2022 report do we find some ‘funding partner’ logos, to which our research has added more.
The glossily-produced publication and the activities of Equal Ground certainly indicate that the funding they receive from the West is immense. If a Sri Lanka MP were to move a Transparency Bill, the funding for this foreign agent and others like it could be revealed.
Matt 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Note that the funding of Equal Ground is all from the woke white Western nations. No Eastern-European, Asian or African Embassy, High Commission or NGO is funding Equal Ground. Nor are any Sri Lankans, with one strange exception.
Surprisingly, Equal Ground say Sri Lanka’s biggest conglomerate, John Keells Holdings PLC, is also funding them. To what extent is not clear and it could be a lie, for the NGO is not listed in John Keells PLC accounts.
The Wall Street Journal puts JKH PLC’s latest turnover at 276,640m SL Rupee, or $940m. Its directors will no doubt bump into company directors from the West as they jet around the world, and with wokeness now endemic in Western business, groupthink may have overcome decency. Whatever the reason, John Keells PLC recently launched a ‘OneJKH’ initiative to show how ‘diverse’ and ‘inclusive’ they are.
Under ‘Human Capital’ they say: ‘LGBTIQ: In September 2021, another key milestone was reached with the completion of the Inclusive Workplace Survey conducted in partnership with The National Transgender Network (NTN) and The Grassrooted Trust, to obtain a broad range of information on trans inclusivity in the corporate sector. During the same period, the Group joined IFC Sri Lanka’s ‘TWC+’ (‘Together We Can Plus), making commitments on inclusivity towards Persons with Disabilities.’
Pray for Sri Lanka
Across the world, transgenderism, men pretending to be women, is being seen as the lie it is. Sports bodies are stopping men competing as women. Young women are coming forward distraught at the irreversible mastectomies and hormone injections they went through vainly trying to be men. This ‘trans bubble’ may not yet have burst in Sri Lanka but John Keells PLC should distance themselves from this evil and from the anti-family agenda of the gay activists if Krishan Balendra wants to be on the right side of history.
In the meantime, please pray for Sri Lanka. Pray that the desires of the Western nations to corrupt Sri Lanka and its children are thwarted. Pray that their foreign agents are exposed for what they are. Pray that support for the bill being moved by Hon Dolawatte drains away. Pray that instead, Sri Lanka seeks the Lord and his ways. Pray for the directors of John Keells:
Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
And please pray for Christian Voice and for the Lord to raise up Christians in Sri Lanka to stand for righteousness.

Pro-trans lobby group Stonewall has helped draft gender policies of up to 30 NHS trusts, according to reports.
Government officials have expressed their displeasure over the fact that 30 trusts have allowed the “LGBT” rights group to write policies on equality and caring for patients who describe themselves as “transgender”.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay was reportedly ‘appalled’ that some NHS managers have brought Stonewall in, despite government guidance urging against outside advice being sought.
Additionally, reports indicate that an organisation such as Mermaids, which promotes “child transitioning,” has also been playing a role in influencing policies within the National Health Service.
A source close to Steve Barclay said, ‘The Health Secretary has been clear that equality issues in healthcare services should be dealt with by normal management processes rather than by bringing in external providers.
‘He is appalled to hear some managers are failing to respond and will be discussing with officials what further steps to take. NHS trusts and other health bodies should be relentlessly focused on caring for all patients and cutting waiting lists, not wasting time and money on woke virtue-signaling’.
Meanwhile, the health minister Will Quince also said on Tuesday that ‘NHS trusts should develop their own policies without the help of organisations like Stonewall, adding that there was a danger of “ideology” coming before the concerns of patients and staff’.
The founder of the Women’s Rights Network Heather Binning said the guidance produced by NHS trusts includes the “language of gender ideology”, and that it presents “the law as Stonewall would like it to be, not how it is.
Further, Conservative MP Nic Fletcher said, ‘ It’s unacceptable that the NHS continues to place the safety and privacy of women at risk because of ideological capture by a tiny but vocal lobbying group’.
However, Government officials say NHS trusts should have their own policies, leaving the government powerless as trusts join Stonewall despite all the ‘guidance’. Why do they not make their guidance law? They are complicit, despite their bluster.
Hospital listings
The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust listed Stonewall alongside its HR and LGBTQ+ teams as ‘contributors’ to its guidelines, while guidance by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust thanks Stonewall ‘for reviewing and suggesting improvements’. It also states: ‘Stonewall has an excellent … language guide available online.’
In February 2021, NHS Newcastle said, ‘ We are part of the Stonewall Diversity Champions Programme , a good practice employers’ forum on sexual orientation, and will work with Stonewall on a range of issues.
‘We have taken part in the Workplace Equality Index – a leading tool for employers to measure their efforts to tackle discrimination and create inclusive workplaces for lesbian, gay and bisexual employees’.
Sheffield Teaching Hospital even received a Stonewall gold award for its inclusion of promoting “LGBTQ” people in the workplace.
The Trust was praised for its work, creating a workplace where ‘LGBTQ+’ employees can ‘bring their full selves to work’.
Stonewall funding
According to Taxpayers Alliance, public bodies donate over a million per year to lobby group Stonewall despite government departments being told to withdraw from the Diversity Champions scheme.
The group, which works with organisations to promote sodomy at homes, schools, and work, has previously been accused of taking an “extremist stance” by a founding member.
Meanwhile, membership for the scheme cost taxpayers at least £709,225 in 2021-22 with 234 public organisations paying subscriptions.
The number of paying organisations has reduced from 327 between 2018-19 and 2020-21 as most police forces, Companies House and the Museum of London left the scheme.
However, 175 public bodies have admitted to remaining members, including the Foreign, Commonwealth /Development Office (FCDO) and Department for Environment, Food/ Rural Affairs, despite Liz Truss pushing for all government departments to leave in May 2021.
Christians are commanded to speak truth to those in power: Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
The Stonewall group could not promote sodomy and trans ideology as much as they do without financial support.
Here is a list of a few organisations funding them;
Awards for All – England, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, C A Rodewald Charitable Trust, Charles S French Charitable Trust, City Bridge Trust, Comic Relief, Eleanor Rathbone Charitable Trust, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Government Equalities Office, Goldman Sachs Gives, J P Jacobs Charitable Trust, National, Lottery Community Fund, NHS Scotland, People’s Postcode Trust, Persula Foundation, Santander, Charitable Foundation, Scottish Government, Welsh Council for Voluntary Action, the Welsh Government.
The Bible says, Proverbs 11:13 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
Read more here on the lack of godly wisdom in Government for dealing with the depravity which is now part of our establishment:
Promoting same-sex relationships in the name of “an all-inclusive society” has eaten deep into all sectors across the UK. As the psalmist said:
Psalm 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
In education, teachers who disagree get fired while in other sectors they either asked to step down from senior roles or or suspended from committees.
A Christian teacher was banned from teaching for addressing a girl as a girl. And a court says parents can’t object to their 4-year-old forced into ‘gay pride’ event.
King Lawal, a Christian local councillor, also got suspended and is under investigation for tweeting that pride is not a virtue but a sin.
The Bible says,
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Stonewall is particularly involved in the ‘trans’ issue, the Bible is clear, Christian Voice has in previous articles maintained Biblical teaching that there is no possibility of altering God’s creation. Leading scientists and researchers have said human biology can not be changed. If you are born with XX chromosomes you cannot change yourself to XY, and vice versa. No amount of gender hormones, no surgical mutilation can achieve it. It is stupidity and wickedness for any nation to allow its people to try.
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?
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.
Deuteronomy 6:7; Proverbs 11:2; Mark 7:20-23; Romans 12:16; 1 John 2:16; 1 Corinth 1:28-29

Swiss researchers have found that a dose of Moderna’s Covid jab injured the hearts of about three percent of people who received it.
Vaccine Jab
There were no apparent indications of heart damage among the vaccinated individuals. However, after conducting blood tests three days following the vaccinations, researchers identified elevated levels of troponin in numerous recipients.
Troponin is a protein that the heart releases in response to injury.
‘Subclinical mRNA vaccine-associated myocardial injury is much more common than estimated based on passive surveillance,’ the researchers concluded. The paper was published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Heart Failure.
Over 1 billion people have received mRNA jabs. The study suggests tens of millions of them may have suffered heart damage, and don’t even know they have been hurt.
The researchers conducted the tests on 777 employees at University Hospital Basel, one of Switzerland’s top medical centers, from December 2021 through February 2022.
The employees had already been scheduled to receive mRNA boosters and were asked if they would undergo a blood test for troponin levels three days later.
In other words, the researchers conducted “active surveillance” on them to trace potential side effects, as opposed to “passive surveillance” vaccine safety systems like the federal government’s VAERS, which depend on patients or doctors to report problems.
More Women at risk
The Moderna vaccinees had an average age of 37 and few preexisting heart problems. About 70 percent were women.
The researchers reported that 20 of the injured recipients were women, while only two were men. Even adjusting because more women were tested, women were almost five times as likely to have elevated troponin.
Many studies have shown that young men are at the highest risk from mRNA-caused myocarditis and pericarditis, or acute heart inflammation, following the jabs. But this study suggests women may be suffering more subtle damage. Read our related stories;
In January 2023, Christian Voice reported on COVID-19 vaccination risks, including cardiac damage, fatalities, fertility issues, and immune system impact.
Our article also highlighted the effects on various antibody classes (IgG1 to IgG4).
Covid-19 Jab
Recently, a man took legal actions against AstraZeneca over vaccine complications that led to his wife’s death. The lawsuit alleges that the vaccine is a ‘defective product’ and ‘unsafe.’
Meanwhile, in December 2022, Andrew Bridgen (MP) called for the immediate cessation of all Covid vaccines, describing it as ‘clear and robust data of significant harms and little ongoing benefit’. He said a conspiracy of silence was preventing a wider discussion about the issue.
Covid: Scandal or Fiasco?
In November 2020, the National Audit Office compiled a report on the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The report was called ‘Investigation into government procurement during the COVID-19 pandemic’.
According to the NAO’s report, the government awarded 8,600 contracts worth £18 billion between January and July. £17.3 billion of the money went on brand new contracts. £12.3 billion of it went on PPE. Much of it went to companies owned by friends of ministers and advisors. Members of UK regulatory authorities owned shares in pharmaceutical companies. Directors of vaccine companies and the academic departments they financed rubbed shoulders with those in power. The corruption was blatant.
Isa 1:23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Christian Voice has consistently asserted that the practice of injecting healthy individuals with the blood of aborted fetuses remains an inappropriate response to whatever agenda the government may be promoting.
The Bible says: Luke 5:31-32 Jesus answered and said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
Moreover, it is even more grievous to utilise the blood of innocent children under the guise of a scientific experiment, and to make vaccines using cell lines from aborted babies, as was done.
The Bible also says, Exodus 23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Even at this time of writing (August 2023), University College London, where lockdown enthusiast (and lockdown hypocrite) Professor Neil Ferguson works on research for vaccine companies, is lying to students that Covid-19 is among ‘certain illnesses’ that ‘Students are more at risk of … than the general population.’ See UCL Vaccination page HERE. Of course the opposite is true, as even the World health Organisation admits (in an article trying hard not also to acknowledge the adverse effects of lockdowns and restrictions).
Thank God for more revelations about the vaccination programme
Pray for more revelations and for the whole truth to come out.
Pray for the families of those affected by these injections.

Nigel Farage’s Coutts account was closed because he did not toe the establishment line. Others have had the same treatment. What does the Bible say about bank accounts? Let’s look at the Bible on banking!
Initially Dame Alison Rose, the Chief Executive of NatWest, who own Coutts, told a BBC journalist that Mr Farage’s account was closed after he fell below the bank’s ‘wealth requirements.’ The Guardian reported on 26th July 2023 how that (untrue) breach of confidence led to her resignation after evidence from Coutts showed the Brexiteer was really ‘de-banked’ for his political views. Mr Farage submitted a subject access request to Coutts which resulted in their disclosure of a 40-page document concluding the former Brexit Party leader’s views were “at odds with our position as an inclusive organisation” as Sky reports here.
Three weeks earlier, the Guardian was reporting on the ‘lack of funds’ story, not yet knowing Dame Alison planted it, but also quoting the former Brexit party leader on his suspicion that the closure of his account was linked to his status as a politically exposed person (PEP).
Non-woke pressure group refused a bank account
According to the Telegraph , Metro Bank refused to open a new business account for Our Duty, a group of more than 2,000 parents who believe that it is harmful for transgender children to undergo a medical transition.
The group’s founder, Keith Jordan, said that a manager told the group it could not open a business account because ‘the content of your website conflicts with the culture and ideas we are pushing’. Shooting clubs have also reported being ‘de-banked’.
Even earlier, in June 2005, Christian Voice was ‘non-banked’ by the Co-op, and forced to move banks.
The ‘ethical’ bank who claim not to discriminate, discriminated against Christian Voice because our Christian beliefs based on scripture and evidence lead us to oppose homosexual rights and homosexual practice. Both of those, we since discovered, the Co-op support avidly, sponsoring homosexual events and ‘gay pride’ parades.
Meanwhile, an EU-era law is being blamed, not just for Mr Farage’s exclusion from Coutts but for his failure to find a new bank to accept him. But even if the ‘politically exposed persons’ phrase is deleted, the woke banks, all led by ‘Remainers’ and all members of Stonewall’s ‘Diversity Champions’, will surely find another way to exclude people and refuse them an account, despite bluster from Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer MP.
There are echos here of lockdown, when governments, contrary to all that is holy, forbad people from working and earning a living. So what does the Bible say about banking in the modern age?
The Bible on banking
Working for a living encapsulates the essential pursuit of sustenance, purpose, and personal fulfillment throughout human history, as individuals navigate their career paths to find balance between financial stability and a meaningful life. Therefore, man is to work for a living.
The Bible says, Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
The command is repeated in the New Testament: 2Thess 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
And most men receive wages for their work: Gen 29:15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Payment in cash on the day
Indeed, working people rely on their wages. In Bible times payment in cash on the day was usual, as in our Lord’s parable of the workers in the vineyard: Matt 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
That approach is commanded in the Law: Deut 24:15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
The Apostle Paul contrasts earned wages and a gift as he writes about sin and forgiveness: Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The dear Apostle could not use that dramatic insight unless people knew what wages are.
In Ecclesiastes the writer brings work and wages together describing the enjoyment of the fruits of our labour as ‘the gift of God: 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.
The Lord’s people are told that the power to build up wealth comes from the Lord: Deut 8:18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Banking in the Bible
Wealth might be stored in buildings and machinery, in flocks and herds of livestock or even in money, in jewellery or in precious metals like gold and silver. Clearly, from the earliest times, men have relied on a medium of exchange to buy and sell. Gen 23:16 And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
The Apostle James uses buying and selling to make a point: Jas 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
One might be tempted to suggest you don’t find banks in the Bible, But, yes you do. Jesus asked the slothful servant: Luke 19:23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Set your affection on things above
We might think Christians should be focussing on higher-minded things than bank accounts. After all, Scripture says: Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
The context there is not daily life and earning a living, but on putting on our new life in Christ. Jesus himself also speaks of ‘treasure in heaven’: Matt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
But in the same chapter, our Lord assures us that although we are not to set our affection on material things, the Almighty knows we need them to live: Matt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
The Apostles needed money for travel and subsistence while taking out the Gospel. Earlier, when God told Jonah to preach at Nineveh, he tried to go in the opposite direction, and that cost money: Jonah1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
A form of oppression
Mr Farage observes that he has become a ‘non-person’ by his exclusion from his bank coupled with his inability to find another. Indeed, in today’s society, all over the world, it is impossible to function in society with a bank account. Most wages are paid into a bank account. To be refused one in a monopoly is a form of oppression condemned by the prophet:
Isa 5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Even those paid cash need a bank account to pay their insurance, council tax, things ordered online and so much more . We know there are those who would love to see a cashless society. Even today, the train companies are trying to close station ticket offices and force everyone onto machines or online purchases. But many poorer or older people cannot do that.
Statistics of purchases
There are many ordinary people keeping the principle of cash alive by using it for purchases.
Yet a report on Statista shows the use of cash declining from 22% of UK purchases in 2017 to 10% in 2022. The majority are using cards or mobiles. The most dramatic drop of more than half, from 27% to 13%, occurred from 2019 to 2020. Government-sponsored fears about Covid infections accelerated the use of ‘contactless’. Cash has not recovered since, declining a further three percentage points from 2020 to 2022.
It follows from all this that to be denied a bank account in the modern day really is a form of oppression. It means being excluded from society. The Psalmist prays to God: Psa 55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
That neatly sums up the position for Mr Farage, for ‘Our Duty’ and for Christian Voice in 2005. We are all excluded because the woke bankers hate us and our views. We might detest woke policies, but the Bible assures us the feeling is mutual from those who claim to be tolerant and inclusive: Prov 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
To work and freely enjoy the fruits of our labour is the gift of God as the Ecclesiastes readings above and below testify. Denying men their basic God-given right to transact business is a function of an antichrist system, as the Revelation reading below shows us. These are reasons enough for Christian Voice and our members to oppose it in prayer and action.

The Lord used Christian Voice as four children wrongly taken into care by the London Borough of Bexley finally went home.
The Lord used Christian Voice as four children wrongly taken into care by the London Borough of Bexley in December 2015 finally went home.
A Christian family need your prayers. Their third baby was born on 2nd August 2023 at a UK hospital. Having seen stuff online, they expressed reservations about the neo-natal childhood Hepatitis vaccine due to be given to baby at 8weeks. VACCINE POLICY AND SCHEDULES HERE.
Rather than sit down with them and go through it all, the doctors called Social Services who took their baby into care with a judge making an interim order to that effect last week.
They now have a top Christian barrister representing them at a hearing tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday 16th August 2023. In the meantime they have changed their position and are willing for baby to have the hexavalent vaccine. Please pray the judge orders SS to return the baby to them. Please let us know you are praying by kindly filling in the form below or the pop-up.
Here’s a rather unpleasant twist: The mother has been expressing her milk in order to continue breastfeeding when baby is returned. But when SS allowed the couple to see their baby Friday last week, they refused to allow her to breastfeed. How cruel is that?
Seven years ago, the Lord used this ministry to reunite families. The links below concern the Walsall case, another in Milton Keynes and in the video , the Bexley case, which started it all off. That video now has 114,000 views, praise God, and those children also went home.

The UK government is set to face a lawsuit for allowing children as young as five be taught age- inappropriate topics in Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).
Equality/ Human Rights lawyer Dr Anna Loutfi, of the Bad Law Project and families of some of the children concerned (which is almost all of them!) have come together to file a class action lawsuit against the Department for Education of the UK government.
They are calling for Personal Social Health and Education (PSHE), which RSE comes under, to be abolished from schools and for parents to have the right to withdraw their children from lessons dealing with sex, health and relationships.
Speaking on GBNews, Dr Anna Loutfi said, ‘The problem is not teaching children in schools, but the issue is rogue actors posing as charities otherwise known as the third sector and these organisations are completely unregulated.
‘They produce the materials. Sometimes they are produced outside the national jurisdiction. For example, we found certain local education authorities using materials that have been taken from the United States of America, and there is no oversight on the content of these materials. Advocacy groups are picking their own ideas of what they think is okay for children to know. Parents are not allowed to be part of the discussion’, she said.
Watch the video here:
Dr Loutfi added that ‘Thanks to the third sector, we have lost control of regulation, in the same manner we would do if there had been a military coup, and we had a Junter taking control of the schools. We are not allowed to have conversations about what these materials are for.
‘ As a nation, we have lost any discernment of what age groups are suitable for certain kinds of materials. As a country and a society, we have to be discerning about what we embrace, encourage, and what we don’t.’
Unlawful to teach gender ideology and identity as fact
The Education Act 1996 is explicit that the promotion of any idea that is contentious is unlawful. By promotion, the statute maintains that contentions ideas cannot be presented as if it is the only version available in that area. It has to be a dispassionate, fair, and non-partisan presentation of the fact.
Even Section 56 (sub 403) of the Education Act 1996 states that the Secretary of State must issue guidance designed to secure that when sex education is given to registered pupils at maintained schools—
(a) they learn the nature of marriage and its importance for family life and the bringing up of children, and
(b) they are protected from teaching and materials which are inappropriate having regard to the age and the religious and cultural background of the pupils concerned.
The question is, why is this part of the law ignored by sex educators?
The Bible stresses the importance of doing things God’s way and avoiding the unruly: Proverbs 28:7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
And here is some of what the Bible teaches about the purpose of education: Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them (God’s laws) 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.
Section 56/404 of the Education Act 1996 says that schools cannot keep parents from knowing about the sex education being taught to their children.
The statute says that schools should make, and keep up to date, a separate written statement of the schools’ policy with regard to the provision of sex education, and (b)make copies of the statement available for inspection (at all reasonable times) by parents of registered pupils at the school and provide a copy of the statement free of charge to any such parent who asks for one.
And yet a mother lost her case in court when she demanded a school share sex education materials, taught to her daughter, brought in by a publicly-funded third sector body with charitable status.
Under Freedom of Information laws, Clare Page requested that the lesson plan, accompanying slides, and the names of the facilitators be released after her daughter was taught that hetero-normativity was a ‘bad thing’, and that she should be ‘sex positive’ in her relationships.
The School of Sexuality Education, which hosted the class at Hatcham College, a state school in New Cross, Southeast London, refused to release the information which led to Mrs Page making legal action. But a judge said she had no right to see them.
Stonewall and Mermaids, both promoters of sodomy and transgenderism, have been especially blamed for their propaganda in schools. Dr Loutfi described them as two main actors among other charities pushing gender ideology in schools. She questioned why the UK government consults these two organisations and not other bodies with different views.
‘Why have these charities redesigned the law according to their fantasy to saying “gender reassignment” can be with any age, and anyone who goes against this, is a bigot, as against what the law says which is 18?
‘This is contrary to the Equality Act 2010, which has a list of protected characteristics on the basis of non-discrimination, one of which is “gender reassignment” (GRA 2004)’. It permits only people who are 18 and above to make this decision.’
The lawyer added that we live in a society driven by the repetition of slogans and mantras. Even government ministers and lawyers are disregarding the letter of the law and going with mantras seen on social media. However, the Department of Education should be held accountable for neglecting to address this issue which has resulted in so many young people self-harming, socially transitioning, and sometimes “medically transitioning”.
According to the sense of the Bible, it is not okay to permit “gender reassignment” at any age, let alone for children. Those who support prescribing damaging hormones to children are well described in Scripture: Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
In previous articles, Christian Voice has asserted that emotions and wants during puberty are not connected to what activists refer to as “gender identity and dysphoria.” What matters is good parenting with the help of God, being watchful and discerning when something is wrong, and getting the right help without brainwashing the child with unhealthy ideologies.
In the Gospel, our Lord took it as understood that a physician would be nowhere near adolescent boys and girls with absolutely nothing wrong with them: 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.
Just what was physically wrong with Jasmine that caused a wicked surgeon to remove her perfectly healthy breasts? The answer is ‘nothing at all’. She was just growing up:
The government has delayed publishing its “transgender guidance for schools” after its legal advisors concluded it would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
The Prime Minister himself admitted that the long-awaited advice for teachers is still being worked on despite previously promising it would be issued before the end of the summer term. That date has now passed.
He is under pressure, say the papers, from ‘some Tory MPs and campaigners’; to ensure that the guidance stops schoolchildren changing their names, pronouns, hairstyles, and uniforms to match their preferred gender. So why is he doing nothing?
Thank God for Dr. Loutfi and other people who have had the courage to speak up
Pray that this will end in praise when RSE is abolished and righteousness restored.
Pray for the UK and our children.

The Telegraph reports that UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has annoyed the climate cultists by promising to allow new licences for North Sea oil and gas despite his own tough environmental targets.
However, there is, as yet, no backing away from the cult of Net Zero. Mr Sunak even claims he can ‘convince his daughters’ that increasing UK oil and gas production is ‘good for net zero’.
UK Energy Security and Net Zero (sic) Secretary, Grant Shapps MP, says not pressing ahead with North Sea drilling would be ‘irresponsible’ and ‘mad’ as failure to do so would force the UK to import more energy from abroad.
Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP
While Mr Sunak obsesses over what his daughters think, his Business Secretary has raised the alarm over a Government edict coming into force in January 2024.
In just five months’ time, warns Kemi Badenoch, the zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate will fine motor manufacturers £15,000 for every petrol or diesel car they sell if at least 22% of the new cars they sell are not electric vehicles.
Meanwhile, Joseph Mullane in HomeBuilding reports that Government plans to ban oil boilers and insist on heat pumps in rural areas from 2026 have led to a Tory revolt, with former minister George Eustace MP describing the idea as ‘a ‘ULEZ’ for rural households’.
Chris Stark, chief executive of the Climate Change Committee, has admitted he is still heating his flat with a gas boiler four years after saying he would install a heat pump. The capital cost is ‘too high’, it’s ‘very difficult’ to install and electricity is too expensive to make the switch, he told the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee last month. On top of that, his local gas fitter told him the heat pump will ‘never work’. HERE is the actual transcript. Look for Q420.
The Climate Change Committee is behind virtually all the lunacy being inflicted on ordinary people. It recommended the ban on the installation of gas boilers in new homes from 2025, on oil boilers from 2026 and the ban on the sale of new gas boilers altogether from 2035.
These diktats might please the elites ministers meet at climate conferences but their Biblical job description is not sucking up to the World Economic Forum, it is honouring God and safeguarding their own people. Motor manufacturers will shut up shop and ordinary people will lose their jobs and shiver in their homes unless the Government rescind the Net Zero absurdity.
But as Will Jones points out in Daily Sceptic, doing so will require repeal of most if not all of the Climate Act 2008. That would be politically inflammatory but if presented in humility as a proposal by a party it could prove electorally beneficial for them in a year’s time.
Security is a Biblical imperative
It is a Biblical imperative for the leaders of a nation to honour God, love their neighbour, and in wisdom and humility make sure their people are secure. In the book of Judges we read what happened when the Israelites had bronze-age technology while surrounding nations had embraced the iron age: Jdg 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
After the fall of Jerusalem in 587BC, the Prophet Jeremiah complained in his Lamentations: Lam 5:4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
We see from these words how much people rely on technology and on utilities and energy security. It is prudent of leaders to ensure that and irresponsible of them to ignore it. If you prefer, it shows a lack of wisdom in them, but that traces back to a lack of humility, which itself comes from thinking they can do without the Almighty: Prov 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
But we should also bear in mind the Lord can and does send stupid decisions on leaders as judgment for disobedience to his laws and idolatry. He did exactly that to Solomon’s son and successor Rehoboam: 2Chron 10:15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word… (worth reading the whole passage.)
Repentance brings its reward
Nevertheless, if the leaders of a nation are taking the people in the wrong direction, the prophet says they should recognise that and have the humility to make a u-turn: Ezek 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
The Net Zero agenda has been rushed in and the establishment appear to be ploughing on with no regard for the fast-emerging consequences. The Bible urges wisdom and realism in the face of haste and self-satisfaction: Prov 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Prov 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
The Prophet Hosea also urged humility, repentance and seeking the Lord, and gave a promise: Hos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
And Christians all know this word, which in its context applies to a nation which has dedicated itself to the Lord. Archbishop Welby and King Charles did that on behalf of the United Kingdom in the Coronation service just three months ago. We are a nation under God today, just as much as Israel was then: 2Chron 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Those for whom climate alarmism has become a religious cult immediately weighed in on the North Sea decision. According to the Guardian, Mike Childs, head of policy for Friends of the Earth, and clearly not one given to moderation or understatement, said: “Climate change is already battering the planet with unprecedented wildfires and heatwaves across the globe. Granting hundreds of new oil and gas licences will simply pour more fuel on the flames…’
Only two weeks ago the BBC was gleefully reporting on a heatwave in southern Europe. It was brought about by the atmospheric jet steam driving a high-pressure system over the Mediterranean Sea drawing up hot air from the Sahara. The same jet stream deluged the UK with rain. It’s called ‘weather’.
The Greek government blamed the wildfires not on global warming but on arsonists. With dry undergrowth to set fire to, it is not clear how a can of North Sea oil would have started their fires any better, despite Mr Child’s advice.
UN’s Apocalypse Now!
But even Mr Childs has been outdone in rhetoric by the Secretary-General of the UN. The UN’s own website reports António Guterres saying just last week: “Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning.” He went on, “the era of global warming has ended” and “the era of global boiling has arrived”.
‘Global boiling’? Just where on earth is water boiling out in the open air? The language is used to terrify the population. It will be ‘global apocalypse’ before we know it. One commentator suggests the climate fear-mongers could soon become a laughing stock. In the book of Job, we read of the sea monster Leviathan: Job 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
But that’s his breath churning the sea. Leviathon is not being boiled alive. There is a strong thread of nature-worship going on here, and the Bible strongly warns against raising up created things, instead of God, to divine status: Deut 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Uxbridge has scared MPs
But if the BBC and UN are setting out to terrify the population, that is nothing to what the Uxbridge by-election has done to members of parliament. The Conservatives held it by opposing the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone being extended across Greater London by the Mayor Labour’s Sadiq Khan. Now they have suddenly realised that the Mayor’s war on less affluent car drivers and ‘white van man’ is deeply unpopular.
There have already been calls from Jacob Rees-Mogg and Iain Duncan Smith to delay the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars due in seven years time, in 2030. A website reports: ‘More than 40 Tory MPs and peers, including Jacob Rees-Mogg to and Iain Duncan Smith, have written to the Prime Minister asking for the ban be delayed to 2035, since it will do “grave harm to the economy”.’
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 is a legal commitment, stemming from Theresa May’s 2019 amendment to the Climate Act 2008. No MP voted against Mrs May’s big idea. But that was then, and now, the idea of a government spinning ‘love thy neighbour’ into impoverishing them now to save them from a nebulous climate catastrophe in fifty years time is beginning to look like an electoral liability. Iain Duncan Smith’s website even says his party ‘must stand against net zero’ altogether.
Rishi Sunak’s North Sea pledge is clearly a nod in Mr Duncan Smith’s direction, but he will be torn between the new climate sceptics and the climate fanatics in his party.

Pushing back the imposition of electric cars from 2030 to 2035 is only a delay of five years. There is no chance of the infrastructure, pylons and charging points, being ready by then. And how do the climate fanatics expect the electricity to be generated when the wind dies down and the sun shines too much, or fails to shine at all? They hate the obvious solution, nuclear power. They must expect the people to shiver.
As if to illustrate the lack of wisdom in our godless politicians, Nation Cymru reports that Cardiff Council, having bought some nice new electric bin lorries, found it did not have enough electric charging capacity. It is now using diesel generators to charge the muck-carts. The energy losses in the generator, coupled with those of the batteries and transmission, on top of the cost of the lorries and the environmental damage their components have caused around the globe, means the ‘environmental impact’, let alone the cost to local taxpayers, is far worse than if the Labour authority had stuck with diesel lorries.
Limitations of heat pumps
Air-Source Heat Pumps cost far too much to run when the weather is cold. Picture from Daily Sceptic.
The Scottish National Party wants to compel households north of the border to rip out their gas boilers and install heat pumps instead. Businessman William, Lord Haughey owns a company producing heat pumps. Daily Sceptic reports the entrepreneur and Labour peer telling the SNP it’s too cold in Caledonia for them to work efficiently or cost-effectively.
We have a air-source heat pump on our farmhouse in Wales. The house is a newbuild. It is well-insulated and has underfloor heating. Heating it with the heat pump was economical when the price of night-time electricity was 11p per unit. But now it is twice that, we cannot afford to heat the house with it anymore. By the grace of God we have a wood-burning stove which does the job.
Our heat pump still heats the water, but as Lord Haughey observes, only to a temperature which will not kill legionella bacteria. So an electric immersion heater comes on once a week to do that. To bear out his lordship’s other point, although the salesmen tell you a heat pump will still work when the outside temperature is below zero, what they never admit is that it has to work for much longer to extract what little heat there is. So that 2kw fan is spinning twice or three times as long and the efficiency plummets. In Braemar at -27C? Forget it.
King Charles promotes Net Zero

King Charles and the Prince of Wales are both signed up to the elitist climate agenda. When US president Joe Biden paid the UK a visit in July 2023, they agreed to drive up ‘climate donations’ from the private sector.
At Windsor Castle, the two heads of state joined participants from the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum and charity sectors to work out how to ‘encourage’ private companies to abandon fossil fuels and support ‘clean energy’. One major focus of the meeting was how to advance their green agenda in ‘developing economies’.
One aim of the Climate Finance Mobilisation Forum is ‘to release private climate investment in emerging economies’. The King is said to be passionate about preventing developing economies reaching our standard of living by burning their readily-available fossil fuels.
The gathering was also convened by the above mentioned UK Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary (he really is called that oxymoron) Grant Shapps and US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (ditto) John Kerry.
According to guidance on the royal page, the Monarch has a ‘less formal’ role as ‘Head of Nation’. The Sovereign acts ‘as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.’
As sovereign, he is expected to remain impartial and not to share his personal views on political matters. The late Queen Elizabeth II never made her views public. She was dutifully performing a role. However, the climate cultists like Mr Kerry have attempted to lift climate fanaticism above politics, just as was done with Covid lockdowns and mRNA vaccines. That the earth is warming, that people are at fault, and that we must all travel less, eat less meat and shiver in homes we can’t heat they present as an article of faith. The King plainly agrees.
The debates over ULEZ and Uxbridge and the discussions at Windsor Castle could affect millions of lives. Abandoning fossil fuels and embracing unreliable renewable energy, as the World Economic Forum elites demand of the lower classes will have implications for economies, for national budgets, for industry and for living standards and household bills. Will ordinary people and the developing world stand for it? Or will they be with the Bible:
Ezek 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
King called for population control in developing countries
In June, 2010, King Charles, as the then Prince of Wales, called for population control and praised the success of ‘family planning services’ in overseas countries.
According to the Telegraph, he delved into the sphere religion by calling for the traditional religious views of the sanctity of life, which oppose the use of artificial contraceptives (condoms, IUDs and hormonal drugs), to be ‘balanced with the imperative to live within the limits of Nature’.
The King, like those condemned in the Bible’s book of Deuteronomy, has edged into worship of ‘Nature’ with a capital ‘N’.

Costa Coffee's cartoon of a woman after a double mastectomy.
Costa Coffee’s cartoon of a woman after a double mastectomy.
Costa stands accused of a bizarre virtue-signalling stunt with an advert promoting mutilatory double mastectomies in healthy young women.
The coffee firm has used a cartoon image of a “trans man” (ie a woman) with obvious mastectomy scars.
On the Unherd website, Joan Smith described Costa’s trans mastectomy advert as ‘an insult to women.’ She said: ‘The coffee chain is oblivious to the pain it causes troubled young girls’.
Detransitioner Sinead Watson said: ‘There is absolutely nothing glamorous about having your breasts removed. I should know. I only have to look in the mirror to see what a transitioned chest looks like.’
Costa is promoting a medical scandal. The chain now has angry customers threatening a boycott while Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle ludicrously defended it on Julia Hartley-Brewer’s TalkTV show as ‘people making adjustments to their body’, as if a mastectomy is no more serious than a haircut.
The Biblical position is clear. It is God who decides whether we are male or female, not us: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The midwife does not ‘assign’ your sex, she simply discerns it: Luke 1:57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
While those who think they know better than the Almighty are cursed by the Word of God: Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
The Costa advert is the latest example of the UK establishment’s wholesale rebellion against the Almighty. It shows why the whole edifice of woke law needs to be pulled down in national repentance, so that things begin to go well for all the people of this land, not just confused young women deluded into thinking they are really men:
Meanwhile, the government has delayed publishing its “transgender guidance for schools” after its legal advisors concluded it would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
According to Sky News, Attorney General Victoria Prentis MP said the Government would have to change the law if it wanted to stop children assuming a different gender in schools.
‘Gender Reassignment’ is a ‘protected characteristic’ under Section 7 of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the 2010 Act. Click on the link above to see we are not making it up.
The Prime Minister himself admitted that the long-awaited advice for teachers is still being worked on despite previously promising it would be issued before the end of the summer term. That date has now passed.
He is under pressure, say the papers, from ‘some Tory MPs and campaigners; to ensure that the guidance stops schoolchildren changing their names, pronouns, hairstyles, and uniforms to match their preferred gender.
Government lawyers have also raised concerns about proposals to include a free speech defence so that teachers would not be ‘compelled’ to use a pupil’s chosen pronouns.
But none of it can be done while the Equality Act stays as it is. So the Attorney General’s observation of amending the law begs the question: Why they are not doing that already? How long have they been in office? Thirteen years?
If the Government are genuinely committed to ensuring the safety of children and resolving the persisting “gender identity crisis” within schools, why is the Government not taking urgent action to change the law now?
It is because, as the Guardian reported more than three months ago, Equalities Secretary Kemi Badenoch is still dithering after asking the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) for advice on the change. And of course the usual suspects, the Stonewalls of this world, feet securely under the government table, are opposing it.
Safeguarding of children has a Biblical precedent in the words of our Lord: 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.
‘Gender Reassignment’ should be banned
We need to be very clear that in anything like a God-fearing society, or even one with common sense, no child should be allowed to set out on the ‘social transitioning’ pathway. Changing pronouns, clothing and toilets leads inexorably to puberty-blocking hormones and mutilatory surgery, which a civilised society would prohibit. If someone has a psychological, emotional or spiritual problem, stopping puberty and cutting off bodily parts is not the way to address it.
Those who are prescribing damaging hormones to children are well described in Scripture: Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
While in the Gospel, our Lord took it as understood that a physician would be nowhere near adolescent boys and girls with absolutely nothing wrong with them: 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.
Teaching in fear
Teachers in schools across the UK appear to be walking on eggshells in matters of “gender identity”. It has significantly affected the way they carry out their jobs, as most teachers get sanctioned for what schools describe as ” falling below teaching standards”.
In May 2023, a Christian teacher was stopped indefinitely from teaching in any sixth-form college or children’s home in England for what they claim to be “misgendering” a pupil.
33-year-old Joshua Sutcliffe was banned from the teaching profession for addressing a girl as a girl. Mr Sutcliffe unapologetically admitted to not using the pupil’s preferred pronouns and plans to appeal the court ruling.
Guidance on the UK government page says, ‘Parents have the duty to protect their children’s rights until they are old enough to make their own way in the world.
‘Provide the child with food, clothing and a place to live. Also, provide safety, supervision and control amongst other things.’
The emphasis on “old enough to make informed decisions,” and providing supervision/control, as stated above, seems to have become irrelevant in this era of “gender rights and inclusivity.”
Parental consent in matters such as “gender identity” and ‘sex education’ should not be up for debate.
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.
In a separate case, a court ruled against Christian parents who took a London school to court after it prevented pupils, including her 4-year-old son, from opting out of a school ‘gay pride’ event.
The parents, Izzy and Shane Montague are to appeal their case after the Central London County Court dismissed their claim against their child’s former school, Heavers Farm, for attempting to force him to participate in an “LGBT-themed Pride Parade”. Christian parents, teachers, activists, public servants being cancelled for expressing Biblical views, need their freedom of speech protected. Only national repentance can save this United Kingdom:
In November 2022, teachers at a Scottish secondary school were ordered to keep gender changes of pupils a secret.
A local paper reported that staff at a West Dunbartonshire high school received an email from the head teacher warning them not to divulge the information of children’s gender decisions.
Teachers at the school also revealed that a growing number of pupils were assuming new identities, with staff and pupils ordered to use new names and pronouns without question.
Our major concern is to let children grow in the way of the Lord, and enjoy their childhood without unnecessary intrusions.
As the Bible puts it, 1 Cor 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Moreover, children should not be taught God made a mistake when he created each one of us. Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Read and Pray
Proverbs 11:2; Mark 7:20-23; Romans 12:16; 1 John 2:16; 1 Corinth 1:28-29
Pray for children across the UK, for national repentance to stop them being part of a satanic experiment.

Megan and Whitney Bacon-Evans, together known as 'Wegan'
Megan and Whitney Bacon-Evans, together known as ‘Wegan’
The BBC reports that lesbians and ‘influencers’ Megan and Whitney Bacon-Evans, known on social media as ‘Wegan’, have won an IVF alleged-discrimination case. NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board had said same-sex couples would have to pay for 12 rounds of In Vitro Fertilisation before getting it free.
Heterosexual couples just needed to be trying to conceive for two years. ‘Wegan’ said that was discrimination, and ‘inequality’.
On Instagram, the girlie pair announced ‘victory’ to their 116,000 followers. They said: “Frimley ICB recognise the need to update their policy to remove the inequality between same-sex female couples and heterosexual couples.” So they have dropped their legal action. They have set no legal precedent, but you feel they have changed the cultural environment in the NHS. Indeed, you can have the sense they were pushing at an open door.
IVF for lesbians all over the Western world
All over the Western world lesbians are being given IVF. Australia legalised IVF for same-sex couples in 2002. Sweden allowed it in 2005. In 2021, France joined Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland and Norway in permitting lesbians to access fertility treatment.
In 2015, the BBC reported on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority which revealed the number of IVF cycles in Wales alone involving women in same sex relationships and single women in 2013 had doubled to nearly 300.
Consultant gynaecologist Peter Bowen-Simpkins, medical director at the London Women’s clinic, said they had seen a huge increase in same sex women seeking fertility treatment. About half the patients at its Cardiff clinic were lesbian couples.
But the big issue for the lesbians remains public funding. It is still not law that they must have it at taxpayers’ expense, but equally it isn’t law that they must pay for it themselves. The decision remains with each NHS trust.
Barren womb is never satisfied
Let us just step back a moment. We had deep misgivings about IVF from the start. The problem for Christians is that during the ‘in vitro’ (in a glass) method of fertilisation, more embryos are created than are needed. Only one or maybe two are implanted. So the rest of these tiny human beings are either deep-frozen or discarded there and then. The ones deep-frozen may ultimately be destroyed as well. That’s human life washed away.
But equally, the Bible’s book of Proverbs speaks right in to the human condition when it numbers the barren womb as the only human element among four things which are never satisfied: Prov 30:15b There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: 16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire …
You may never feel the truth of that until you have been trying unsuccessfully for years to have children. Each time, hopes are raised only to be dashed. There is no end to the testimonies on social media of women, couples, who finally made it, left to encourage those yet to receive what the Bible describes as God’s blessing: Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Sex education for lesbians
So given that IVF was originally brought in as a way to help couples struggling to conceive naturally to have the baby they have been longing for, how do lesbians fit in? What is wrong with Megan or Whitney’s reproductive parts?
I don’t know, but I am guessing, on the balance of probabilities, nothing at all. If either of them wants a baby, they need only do what has been done for millennia. If they don’t know that, then here’s some sex education for them, from the first book of the Bible: Gen 16:4 And he (that’s Abraham) went in unto Hagar (that’s his wife Sarah’s maid), and she conceived:
That’s how it’s done, girls. So the only thing wrong with ‘Wegan’ is the psychological, or spiritual, disorder that prevents either of them forming a emotional attachment with a man such that it leads to conjugal activity.
That is why we read in the BBC’s 2015 article above that: “One in every ten IVF cycles was now using sperm from a ‘donor’ (That’s a stranger), and a third of all patients using ‘donor’ sperm are either single women or women in same sex relationships.”
AI out of the question?
If a cattle (usually a milk) farmer finds housing a bull too much aggravation, he makes a phone call and a man, nearly always a man, comes round with frozen straws filled with bull semen. The cow on heat (she is described as ‘bulling’) is restrained in a crush, that does not mean she is crushed, it’s just what the cage is called, and the AI guy squirts the defrosted semen up into the appropriate place.
It is not unknown for a woman in prison to have a tiny syringe smuggled in filled with her man’s seed, and then, ‘How did she become pregnant?’ But I guess artificial insemination for Wegan would mean a known father for the baby of whichever of them. Furthermore, it might not be keeping the moment of fertilisation sufficiently at arm’s length for their tender femme-lesbian emotions.
In addition, the father might demand his name be put on the child’s birth certificate. Because, as the Guardian reports here, another section of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 allowed a gay or lesbian couple to put both their names on the child’s birth certificate. Not for the first time, the politicians legislated a lie. So, in fifteen years’ time, when a son or a daughter asks, ‘Who’s my Daddy’ and consults their birth certificate, tough luck. You will never know.
Gays and lesbians are never ‘one flesh’
Normally in the Bible, conception occurs not between a man and his wife’s maid servant, Abraham and Jacob notwithstanding, but between husband and wife, as with the first family recorded here: Gen 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived,
The Prophet Malachi (Mal 2:15) tells us bringing up children is a big part of what marriage is for.
The Lord Jesus said, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark: 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: …
Megan and Whitney have reminded us that a ‘one flesh’ union is something a pair of lesbians can never achieve. Praise the Lord for that. But having explained the facts of life to the girls, here is another secret. The inequality between lesbians and proper couples, about which they complain, is God-given.
Why are taxpayers financing them?
By the grace of God it needs an egg from a woman and sperm from a man to make a baby. All either of them had to do was find a man and get married. IVF given to them by the NHS is a total waste of taxpayers’ money. Why exactly are the rest of us being forced into being financial partners in a fraud and a fancy? Why are we financing surgical intervention to satisfy an aesthetic conceit, or a social influencers’ fashion accessory?
Any government or NHS trust not shorn of all wisdom would tell them: ‘You want a baby? Great! Get married, proper married, not ‘gay-married’, and trust the Lord.
But that demands those who rule us be God-fearing and humble: Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Prayer and Action
The Bible tells us to pray for our leaders: 1Tim 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Let us not forget, it is not ‘loving’ to go along with what everyone demands. Sometimes, the cause of righteousness, indeed of our love for God and our neighbour, made in his image, demands we stand up and say ‘Stop!’
So pray that IVF for gays and lesbians fully able to conceive naturally is brought to an end. At the very least, may the public stop paying for it.

A Christian councillor who was suspended for tweeting that pride is not a virtue but a sin has been reinstated by a local Conservative group after having been suspended since July.
King Lawal, a Northamptonshire councillor, was being investigated by the Conservative Party for expressing his religious beliefs on social media. According to Mr Lawal, six other organisations cancelled him.
Responding to images of pride parades organised by LGBT groups at the end of last month, he wrote: ‘When did Pride become a thing to celebrate? Because of Pride, Satan fell as an arch Angel. Pride is not a virtue but a Sin. Those who have Pride should Repent of their sins and return to Jesus Christ. He can save you. #PrideMonth #Pride23 #PrideParade.’
Speaking on GBNews, Cllr Lawal said: ‘My Tweet was purely on Biblical truths, to express my Christian views on sin, and nothing more.’
‘The morning before the Tweet, I saw naked men shaking their bottoms around children watching. It disgusts me and brought out the righteous anger within me.’
The Bible says, Prov 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
In a sudden turn of events, King Lawal has been stripped of his positions in various organisations and roles where he had been performing exceptionally. According to him, he received an email from the leader of North Northamptonshire Unitary Council, informing him of his suspension for a duration of 21 days, pending an investigation.
He faced dismissal as a trustee of Groundwork Northampton, suspension as an Academy Council member for Weavers Academy, removal as a Governor of Northampton Healthcare Foundation Trust, and a ban from holding a joint Police and Council surgery in the local library.
Again, forced to resign
There has been a concerning trend of pressuring individuals to resign based on their expression of religious beliefs. In Councillor Lawal’s situation, he stated that he was compelled to resign from his position in a nursing and care business. This occurred after he received an ultimatum from another local authority, claiming that his stance, as represented in a Tweet, was unattainable.
In June 2023, a senior British Army officer said he was forced to quit after being criticised for repeating that “men cannot be women”.
A Facebook post Colonel Kelvin Wright shared without any additional comment stated: ‘If women cannot stand in a public place and say, ‘men cannot be women’, then we do not have women’s rights at all.’
A Christian man also lost his job after his employer discovered his previous legal victory affirming his freedom of speech.
Felix Ngole faced expulsion from a social worker training course at Sheffield University. This came about because he had shared a Facebook post that cited Bible passages discussing the subject of same-sex marriage.
Our Lord said, John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Proverbs 11:2; Mark 7:20-23; Romans 12:16; 1 John 2:16; 1 Corinth 1:28-29
Pray that King Lawal will recover everything he has lost in a thousand fold

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.
