The Conservative Party’s decision to hold an open primary to select its London Mayoral candidate could favour the homosexual candidate, it has been claimed.

In a sense, a millionaire homosexual like Ivan Massow would be the perfect fit for today’s modern Tories.

But he faces opposition from Zac Goldsmith, who, although also a millionaire, is resolutely heterosexual and a strong eurosceptic. Goldsmith is MP for Heathrow flight-path constituency Richmond Park in Surrey. He is also an environmentalist and, as one might imagine, is fiercely opposed to a third runway at Heathrow.

To add a little more spice, Mr Goldsmith recruited former Conservative MP and gay marriage opponent Nick de Bois as his campaign manager when he asked his Richmond Park constituents whether he should run for Mayor.

Now, London voters who have been registered as members of the Tory party for at least three months will be able to participate in the primary election in an online ballot, according to Mr Massow.

Crucially for Mr Massow, non-Tory voters will also be able to participate in the online ballot if they are already registered to vote in London and pre-register for the online primary. Individual candidates will be allowed to spend up to £100,000 in the nominating process, according to reports.

Mr Massow, who declared his intention to run for mayor in May, said he was “delighted” at the news of the primary.

“I’ve spent the last almost year working towards a mayoral bid knowing the only way I could win it is with this primary,” he told City A.M.

“This blows the competition wide open. Had it been just Conservative members it would have been very difficult for me to have beaten Zac [Goldsmith], who’s very popular in west London, where most Conservative members live.

“My pitch to the party is a broader appeal.”

Footballer Sol Campbell is also expected to stand, as is Andrew Boff, leader of the Conservative Group on the London Assembly.

The primary is expected to be held in September.

‘Homophobia a sign of extremism’

Nicky Morgan, Secretary of State of Education, the one with a gay activist from Stonewall (Conservative activist Luke Tryll) as her first appointed advisor, is in the news again.

She is telling teachers to report children who exhibit negative attitudes to homosexuality to the thought police.

They are going to grow up to be terrorists, apparently.

Even the teachers’ unions, so often bastions of progressive attitudes, are not amused by this new imposition of subjective workload.

The BBC reported:

‘The education secretary was speaking as schools in England and Wales were issued with a guide to identifying pupils in danger of radicalisation.

‘She said attacking core British values or being extremely intolerant of homosexuality were examples of behaviour that could raise the alarm.

‘Ms Morgan said it was “a safeguarding” issue comparable to protecting children at risk from gangs or sexual abuse.’ Yes, really. Homophobia is that bad.

Asked on BBC’s Radio 4 Today Programme to come up with an example of behaviour that might be a cause for concern, she said: “Sadly, Isis are extremely intolerant of homosexuality.”

‘Sadly?’ Is Nicky Morgan carrying a bit of a candle for ISIS? Would she love them better if, despite all their land-grabbing, slaughter, extortion and rape they had applied for a float in the London Gay Pride parade?

As it happens, Muslims in general are ‘extremely intolerant of homosexuality’.

Is the Government with this initiative taking the first tentative steps to rounding up all Muslim children and sending them and their families off to the Muslim land of their heritage? I doubt that.

What instead we are seeing is a desire to grab hold of Christian children and force some politically-correct attitudes into them. The Trojan Horse affair, which started with a Muslim takeover of schools in Birmingham has been used to give Ofsted new guidelines which are now being used against Christian schools.

It will be the same here. There is already a drive to sneak homosexual propaganda into schools on the pretext of ‘tackling homophobic bullying’. This counter-terrorism slant is just a bit of window-dressing to make pro-sodomy indoctrination a bit more acceptable.

In reality, it won’t be a Muslim child who will be picked on. Instead, look out for the first story of a child of Christian or working-class parents being reported to the police for ‘homophobia’ and then taken into ‘care’ by Social Services.

Ashers Bakery guilty of ‘discriminating’

The Politically-motivated cake was baked by another firm.

A judge in Belfast has found that a bakery discriminated against a homosexual by refusing to bake a cake with a slogan supporting same-sex marriage.

Ashers Baking Company, which is owned and run by the McArthur family, who are Christians, declined an order from a gay rights activist asking for a cake featuring the Sesame Street puppets Bert and Ernie with a slogan saying ‘Support Gay Marriage’.

Marriage between people of the same sex is illegal in Northern Ireland. In April 2014 the Stormont Assembly rejected a Sinn Fein motion to change the definition of marriage for the third time in eighteen months. In April 2015 the Assembly rejected yet another Sinn Fein motion for ‘gay marriage’.

Despite that, the judge found Ashers Bakery had discriminated against one Gareth Lee on the grounds of sexual orientation as well as his political beliefs.

The cake was baked and iced by another firm. Cllr Andrew Muir (Alliance Party) cut the cake in an event held by ‘QueerSpace’ last year.

Damages of £500 have already been agreed between the law firms representing Ashers and Mr Lee.

The case was brought by Northern Ireland’s Equality Commission.

Sinn Fein’s Martin McGuiness tweeted: “Asher’s bakery judgement a good result for equality, gay people have for far too long been discriminated against. We and the law on their side.”

But unionist politicians disagreed.

DUP MLA Paul Givan, who has proposed that lawmakers in the Northern Ireland Assembly introduce a “conscience clause” as a result of the Ashers case, said many Christians would view the ruling as “an attack” on their religious convictions.

Jim Allister MLA condemned the ruling. — Jim Allister MLA has condemned the ruling along with Democratic Unionist Party politicians.

“What we cannot have is a hierarchy of rights, and today there’s a clear hierarchy being established that gay rights are more important than the rights of people to hold religious beliefs,” Mr Givan added.

His party colleague David McIlveen tweeted: “Utterly sickened that a Christian owned business has been hauled over the coals for refusing to promote something that is not legal in NI.”

Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister said it was “a dark day for justice and religious freedom in Northern Ireland”.

Speaking outside Belfast County Court ahead of the ruling, Ashers general manager Daniel McArthur said: “We happily serve everyone but we cannot promote a cause that goes against what the Bible says about marriage.

“We have tried to be guided in our actions by our Christian beliefs.”

Christian campaigners will be looking not just to the Stormont Assembly but also to the UK Government to ensure business peoples’ Christian conscience is supported.

Tell them ‘No’ to the West Ham mega mosque

If built, the West Ham mega mosque would be the largest place of worship in Europe, accommodating between 10,000 and 40,000 worshipers, and the size of Battersea Power Station according to its architect.

The fundamentalist group behind it, Tablighi Jamaat, are associated with convicted and dead Islamic terrorists.

In March 2015, with the General Election looming, the Government flunked a decision over whether to allow or dismiss the mosque trustees’ appeal against the refusal of Newham Council to grant the scheme planning permission.

With the General Election over, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government could make a decision within days.

Will that decision defer to a group of radical Muslims operating inside the Department for Communities and Local Government itself?

In February the Daily Telegraph reported that Baroness Warsi formed the “cross-Government working group on anti-Muslim hatred” to advise the Government on Muslim affairs.

It includes Iqbal Bhana, who has praised the work of a body defending Abu Hamza, and Iftikhar Awan, a former trustee of Islamic Relief, a charity with links to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.

Crucially, one member is Muddassar Ahmed, whose PR company, Unitas Communications, helped set up a support body called the Newham People’s Alliance (NPA) to campaign for the West Ham ‘mega mosque’.

“It was a very vicious campaign, with a lot of lying and making things up” said Sir Robin Wales, Newham’s mayor. “The NPA were very unpleasant and bullying people to deal with,” said former Newham councillor Alan Craig, a long-standing opponent of the ‘megamosque’.

Green Party could legalise ‘three-way marriages’

The leader of the Green Party has said she would be open to discussing the possibility of legalising three-way ‘marriages’.

Natalie Bennett made her comments at the launch of her Party’s ‘LGBTIQ’ manifesto (That’s ‘lesbian, gay, bisexual, transggender, intersex and queer’ apparently) in Soho, London.

Ms Bennett said she was “open to further discussion and consultation” on the issue after being asked whether the Greens would support group civil partnerships and marriages by a Pink News reader who said he was living with two boyfriends in a stable long-term relationship.

She said: “At present, we do not have a policy on civil partnerships involving more than two people.” But since Green Party policy is made up by its members, all that could change overnight.

The Green Party is easily at the libertarian end of the spectrum on social issues, but fanatically authoritarian on anything the affects climate change, the environment, or animals. One of its policies is to ban rabbit hutches.

Ms Bennett was accompanied in Soho by fellow Australian and homosexual activist Peter Tatchell, a Green Party supporter.

Holy Sexuality Conference Cancelled

By

30 April 2015

After over 40,000 people signed a petition, the Holy Sexuality Conference in London was cancelled. — The Holy Sexuality Conference in London was cancelled after 40,000 dissenters signed a petition calling for its cancellation.

The “Holy Sexuality” Conference in London was cancelled after 40,000 people signed a petition calling for its abandonment.

Dubbed the “Gay Cure Summit” by GayStarNews, the 5-day conference was to be held from 21-25 April and aimed at helping people who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction. According to the advert:

“This conference will be invaluable for those who are struggling with their sexuality or for those who wish to find out more about issues surrounding sexuality and same sex attraction to reach out to others.”

The three people supposed to speak at the event were Americans Mike Carducci, Wayne Blakely, and Danielle Harrison. These speakers explained that they found “redemption, victory, healing and freedom from their [homosexual] lifestyle.”

The conference was organized by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, a Christian organization that believes homosexuality is a sin and breaks God’s Commandment.

Kirsten Lundquist, the communications and media director of South England Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, was disappointed by the decision to cancel the conference, saying:

“Seventh-day Adventists are a people of peace who believe in hope and dialogue. However, it appeared that rather than drawing people together the conference had the potential to divide. The Adventist Church recognises that the individuals invited to speak at the Holy Sexuality Conference have compelling life stories to share but equally appreciate that there are those who take a different point of view.”

The entire statement can be found in this article.

However, many people took offense at the goal of the conference, saying that promoting the idea of curing homosexuality is “dangerous.” The UK Council for Psychotherapy even described “conversion theory” as abuse.

The conference was also denounced by political figures. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said:

“If anything needs curing, it is the outdated belief that being gay is wrong or something to be ashamed of. Sexuality is not an illness but an inherent part of who you are.”

In an article on Change.org, human rights activist Omar Kuddus called for the Government to refuse visas to people who seek to cure people of gay desires. Kuddus started the petition to cancel the Holy Sexuality conference, and he believes the Government should protect gay people from those who want to cure them.

“We are disappointed that in a society that values freedom of speech and divergence of opinion that there are those whose wish it is to silence individuals who hold a different point of view to their own.”

That same week, a similar event called The Transformation Potential Conference took place in Westminster. It was held by Core Issues, a Christian ministry organization. Although more than 13,000 people signed a petition to cancel it, nevertheless the talks were held on 14 April.

Ukip candidate Alan Craig, former leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance, was set to speak at this conference. However, organizers asked him to step aside so the issues discussed at the seminar would not be “associated with any one political party.”

Omar Kuddus also fought for the cancellation of this conference, believing these events are harmful to those who attend them. In a statement to the Evening Standard, Kuddos said:

“You don’t expect two gay cure conferences to take place in London at all, especially in the same week. I find it diabolical someone representing the group is allowed to preach hate in England. At the end of the day that is what conversion therapy is – sexuality is not a choice.”

The irony in this is that the very people who claim Christians want to “silence” gay people are the very ones who cancel conferences and want to refuse visas to people coming to speak at these events. They are the ones trying to silence differing opinions, embodying a tactic that prohibits free speech and cancels conferences.

Aisling Hubert Loses Case

Aisling Hubert prosecuted two doctors who aborted babies based on their gender.

Pro-life activist Aisling Hubert has lost her case against Dr Prabha Sivaraman and must now pay the £25,000 bill to cover the abortionist’s legal fees.

A Christian and anti-abortion campaigner, Ms Hubert carried a private prosecution against Dr Sivaraman for performing an abortion based on the foetus’ gender.

But last month Dr Sivaraman asked the CPS to step in and examine the evidence again to assess whether the case was still in the public interest. In early April the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropped the suit due to “insufficient evidence.”

Judge Martin Steiger QC, presiding at the Manchester Crown Court, ruled that Ms Hubert must pay the £25,000 cost of Dr Sivaraman’s legal fees.

In 2013, Dr Prabha Sivaraman faced trial after a sting operation by the Daily Telegraph revealed her agreeing to perform an abortion based on the child’s gender. However, the CPS abandoned the case, deeming it unworthy of public interest.

In addition to performing sex-selective abortions, Dr Sivaraman had appeared in court on a report that she was involved in a conspiracy to use poison as a way to carry out an abortion. This fell under the Offences Against the Person Act, but was disregarded after Aisling Hubert’s case against her was dropped.

Ms Hubert, a 21-year-old Brighton resident, took up the case after the CPS let it go the first time. She also led a prosecution against Dr Palaniappan Rajmohan, who was featured in the Daily Telegraph report alongside Dr Sivaraman. The CPS intervened and also shut down this case because of a lack in public interest.

Christian Legal Centre, which campaigns on issues such as abortion and bioethics, backed Hubert’s prosecution.

Sex-selective abortions are still illegal in Britain according to the 1967 Abortion Act. To read more about “gendercide” (aborting a child based on its sex, usually a girl) and Aisling Hubert’s case, read our previous article here.

‘Naz and Matt’ gay campaigner ‘selfish and deluded’.

Hampstead Heath, near West Hampstead, is used by homosexual men to make anonymous sexual contacts. — Hampstead Heath, a stone’s throw from West Hampstead, where Dr Nazeem Mahmood lived.

A homosexual campaigner is today concluding a walk from London to Birmingham.

Matthew Ogston has walked from West Hampstead in London to Handsworth in Birmingham, finishing today, to publicise his new charity ‘Naz and Matt’ campaigning against what he calls ‘gay conversion therapy’ and for parents to accept their children’s homosexuality against their religious principles.

Mr Ogston was the homosexual boyfriend of one Dr Mahmood, a specialist in cosmetic procedures, who fell from the balcony of his penthouse in West Hampstead on 30th July 2014.

An inquest heard that Dr Mahmood took his own life just two days after confiding in his Muslim mother for the first time about his sexuality.

The court was told she suggested he saw a psychiatrist to find a ‘cure’ when he revealed his sexuality.

My view is that Ogston is selfish and deluded.

Any death is a tragedy, and Dr Mahmood’s is no exception. Suicide is the biggest cause of death for young men in Britain today. Given that, to blame Dr Mahmood’s suicide on his mother’s failure to embrace her son’s perverted lifestyle is far too convenient. There could have been any number of reasons aggregating in his mind.

Matthew Ogston is deluded, claiming to hear Dr Mahmood’s voice from “beyond the grave” telling him specifically to set up a campaigning charity.

He is also selfish, showing no sensitivity to Dr Mahmood’s family, who will rightly feel great shame over their son’s suicide and emotional problems and must be dismayed that his death is now being dragged through the mud in public as a political football.

It is undeniable that men and women have walked away from homosexual attractions through the power of the Christian Gospel. Whether Islam is any help in such a process is open to debate, but the Christian faith offers enormous support to those seeking to reach their emotional potential. No-one has to “stay gay”.

Sandwell Valley is next-door to Handsworth, Alan Ogston's destination. — Sandwell Valley is next-door to Handsworth, Matthew Ogston’s destination.

Mr Ogston is quoted as saying: “Being gay is loving someone, it’s not a disease, there’s nothing to be cured, it’s about love nothing else should matter.” A father and son or two brothers normally express their love without feeling the need to interfere with each other. No, ‘being gay’ is not just ‘about love’, it’s about emotional disorder, sexual abuse and perverting God’s created order.

By a strange coincidence, West Hampstead is just a stone’s throw from one homosexual cruising area, and Handsworth borders onto another. Most homosexual male couples engage in activities outside their primary relationship, for reasons which need not detain us at this moment. Just saying …

Juncker Blocks EU Referendum

Negotiations regarding Britain's status in the EU will not take place while Juncker is in office. — Negotiations regarding Britain’s status in the EU will not take place while Juncker is in office.

Jean-Claude Juncker blocked EU referendum with Britain, saying that re-negotiations regarding Britain’s treaty with the EU will not happen while he is still president of the EU.

In January of this year David Cameron promised to hold a referendum to amend Britain and the European Union’s relationship. Any changes, if they come, will not be until the end of 2019.

Although Cameron promised a referendum on the UK’s membership, he wanted to stay in the EU if the negotiations went favorable. His goal was to change the relationship between the Britain and the EU.

If re-elected, Cameron will be forced to hold a referendum on EU membership without the option of reclaiming any power from Brussels. In this situation it will be more likely that Britain would leave the EU.

An official told the Times:

“No treaty change proposals are envisaged until after November 2019, the end of Mr Juncker’s mandate as president of the commission.”

In this case negotiations would not begin until 2020.

This incident comes after the Prime Minister very publicly tried to prevent Mr Juncker from becoming President of the European Commission and vowed that he would “reclaim powers from Brussels.”

The 2015 Conservative party election manifesto, which Mr Cameron spear-headed, states that Britain would “want national parliaments to be able to work together to block unwanted European legislation. And we want an end to our commitment to ‘ever closer union’ as enshrined in the treaty to which every country has to sign up.'”

In order to avoid a Labour Government supported by the Scottish National Party, Mr Cameron also told members of the United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) that they would need to vote conservative.

Nigel Farage, leader of Ukip, branded the Conservative manifesto a “work of fiction” as the treaty is change is non-negotiable by the Conservative part. He said:

“I challenge David Cameron to tell the British people this simple truth rather than dupe, delude and deceive them.”

European leaders in Brussels have already made clear that if Mr Cameron returns to Downing Street they will not accept any treaty changes before next year. Any amendments to the treaty would not be overhauled until 2025, and even that will require unanimous vote of all EU countries.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said that this statement from Brussels is nothing new. He also told the Times: “It was said there would be no changes after the Lisbon Treaty, but that was proved wrong. These latest claims will be proved wrong too.

“Commission President Juncker himself has said that answering the ‘British question’ is one of his key priorities.”

Tories boast about ‘gay marriage’

20 April 2015

Conservative Manifesto page 46:

“We will champion equal rights and correct past wrongs. Our historic introduction of gay marriage has helped drive forward equality and strengthened the institution of marriage. But there is still more to do, and we will continue to champion equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people. We will build on the posthumous pardon of Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing, who committed suicide following his conviction for gross indecency, with a broader measure to lift the blight of outdated convictions of this nature. Thousands of British men still suffer from similar historic charges, even though they would be completely innocent of any crime today. Many others are dead and cannot correct this injustice themselves through the legal process we have introduced while in government. So we will introduce a new law that will pardon those people, and right these wrongs.”

The Tories are actually proud of wrecking the institution of marriage! And they want to do more.

David Cameron counting the ways 'gay-marriage' has destroyed real marriage. — David Cameron counting the ways ‘gay-marriage’ has destroyed real marriage.

They want in particular to tear up the convictions for men convicted of sodomy and gross indecency. No doubt that will benefit some of the older political class.

On page 63 of their manifesto they say:

“We will outlaw groups that foment hate with the introduction of new Banning Orders for extremist organisations.”

Don’t let’s be fooled that this just means Islamic groups. It means any group the Government doesn’t like. If you are Christian Voice or Abort 67 (cannot think of any other groups really upsetting the apple-cart just now – your suggestions please?) then stand by for dawn raids and all your equipment being confiscated.

At her coronation on 2nd June 1953, Her Majesty the Queen took an oath to “Maintain the laws of God and the True Profession of the Gospel”. That oath is binding on her ministers, who, according to Romans 13, are also ‘ministers of God’ to us ‘for good’.

Ask your Conservative candidate if he/she agrees with the manifesto on these points. Do they support ‘gay marriage’? If any do, what Christian can possibly vote for them?

Amira Abase father ‘was at hate rally’

Hussen Abase blamed police over his daughter Amira's flight to ISIS-controlled Syria. — Moderate Islam: Hussen Abase clutches a teddy-bear as he appeals to his daughter Amira not to join ISIS.

A tabloid newspaper has alleged that the father of schoolgirl Amira Abase who joined IS in Syria chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’ at an Islamist rally.

In an exclusive, the Daily Mail claims Hussen Abase was caught on camera ‘at the head of an Islamist rally led by hate preacher Anjem Choudary and attended by Michael Adebolajo, the killer of soldier Lee Rigby’.

The paper is known for its sensationalist spin and sometimes inaccurate reporting, But Hussen Abase can be clearly seen in the footage of the rally in the paper’s report.

He is at the front of the rally behind a banner reading: ‘The followers of Mohammed will conquer America.’ He is waving and chanting as an American flag is burned. At the rally, held in London in 2012, Anjem Choudary said Islam would take over the world.

Hussen Abase participated enthusiastically at a rally led by Anjem Choudary at which an American flag was burned.

Many of us, knowing the Islamic policy of Taqiya, or lying to advance Islam, have been sceptical when the families of young Muslims joining Islamic state protest that they had no idea why their son or daughter had done such a thing.

The BBC posted a video of Hussen Abase holding a teddy bear appealing for his daughter to return, saying he ‘suspected nothing’. He led the appeals the three families made and blamed the police for not giving families a letter which might have prevented the girls from travelling to Syria.

He was also on ITV in a tearful appeal.

The Guardian reported Hussen Abase as saying: “The police neglected us, the school neglected us. It would have definitely alarmed me … 100% I would have stopped her. They did not warn us, they did not contact us at all.”

But he said nothing about his own involvement in fundamentalist Islam.

In a further report, the BBC carried extensive quotes from Mr Abase in February:

“We are depressed, and it’s very stressful,” he said while holding a teddy Amira had given her mother for Mother’s Day.

“The message we have for Amira is to get back home. We miss you. We cannot stop crying. Please think twice. Don’t go to Syria.”

He said his daughter had never spoken about an interest in the militant group with him.

“She doesn’t dare discuss something like this with us. She knows what the answer would be,” he said.

In a further direct appeal to his daughter, he said: “Remember how we love you. Your sister and brother cannot stop crying.”

Hussen Abase even hoodwinked the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee, which said, at paragraph 24 of its report ‘Counter-Terrorism: Foreign Fighters:‘

‘We commend all the families which have spoken to the Committee during the course of this inquiry, namely Sally and Micheal Evans, Hussen Abase, Fahmida Aziz, and Sahima Begum, for their courage in speaking up. Not enough support is given to families by the Home Office. Greater counselling and support services should be offered to them.’

Hussen Abase is pictured here leaving the committee.

If someone like Hussen Abase can appear so convincingly moderate, how much more Islamist jihadist sentiment is concealed just under the surface of Muslim families in the UK?

Consent Lessons for 11-Year-Olds

By

-

24 March 2015

Education secretary Nicky Morgan has commissioned new guidance to schools for giving lessons about consent and rape to 11-year-olds. The new guidelines will start after the Easter holidays.

Scheduled to be taught in PSHE classes, the new lessons are supposed to give children “a better understanding of the society around them” so they can make smart choices and stay safe.

In an online statement, the PSHEA said: “The key learning set out in this guidance is respecting the rights of others, communication, negotiation and consider[ing] the freedom and capacity of others to make choices.” The association also said that students would learn that sexual activity for those under the age of 16 was illegal.

Additionally, students will learn about whether or not consent is attainable when a person is drunk, and the issue of gay rape will also be added to the curriculum later this year. Many of the lesson plans involve situational ethics and encourage the student to discuss what is right or wrong in these circumstances. For example, one of the questions is: “What misconceptions about consent would an alien get if their only evidence was from pornography?”

The Government has given formal guidelines for the classes, saying that the topic should be broached “before young people are sexually active,” because it will be ineffective after that. The proposal made sure to mention how acknowledgment of sexually active young people is not the same as “encouraging underage sexual activity.”

Ms Morgan publicized the measures on International Women’s Day and stressed that the curriculum will be age appropriate and in line with British values. The goal is to give instructors the tools and confidence to teach these difficult topics.

These guidelines were introduced amid growing concerns for the safety of children, particularly girls. Rising numbers of child “sexting” and child exploitation cases in Rotherham and Oxford are just some of the issues being cited.

Writing in The Sunday Times, Ms Morgan stated: ‘Mothers at the school gates often tell me about their worries for their daughters. They tell me that on top of the usual stress of school life and teenage years, they want to know their girls are being taught what a healthy relationship looks like and how to say “no.”‘

However, other parents are concerned that these classes could put even more pressure on children to engage in sexual activity at a young age, causing an “erosion of childhood.”

Family Education Trust spokeswoman Sarah Carter disagreed with the proposed effectiveness lessons, saying: ‘I work with vulnerable teenagers who have been groomed and this is not going to protect them. This creates the idea that you will find yourself in this situation so make sure you give express consent.’

This curriculum is not mandatory, and the PSHE Association has expressed disapproval of the fact that Morgan has made a harder push for these classes to be required in all schools.

The 60-page guidelines contain eight suggested lessons for teachers. By the end of the course students will understand what sexual consent is and what constitutes a healthy relationship (significantly, however, students are not taught that it is marriage that constitutes a healthy sexual relationship). They will also be taught about pornography and rape. See this article in The Daily Telegraph for a summary of these eight suggested lessons.

Despite these efforts, many are concerned that ‘consent lessons’ will do virtually nothing to help children stay safe, particularly girls. In a rape situation the assailant is not going to desist simply because the person he is attacking does not give consent. That is why child exploitation is a problem in the first place. The lessons do not address the root of the problem, which is men who think it is acceptable to take advantage of a child or woman. Instead, all these lessons will accomplish will be to lower important the barriers of innocent children by prematurely introducing them to the disordered side of sexuality.

In the cases of sexual activity between school children, schools should do more to promote chastity. Just because children engage in underage sexual activity does not mean it is right or normal, even if the parties involved have both consented.

Street preacher convicted – and now acquitted!

Michael Overd with his wife Rachel outside Taunton Magistrates Court in 2012. — Street preacher convicted. Michael Overd with his wife Rachel outside Taunton Magistrates Court when he was acquitted in 2012.

STOP PRESS:

Michael Overd’s appeal was heard at Taunton Crown Court, Shire Hall, Taunton, Somerset TA1 4EU on Friday 11^th December 2015 at which he was acquitted when the prosecution’s case collapsed.

All you need to know is in our YouTube video ‘Street Preaching is Legal‘ !

Original report from 23rd March 2015:

A street preacher has been convicted over ‘homophobic’ sermons, the BBC reports.

Michael Overd was preaching in Taunton, Somerset, in June and July 2014.

He was cleared of a second similar charge and another of causing “racially-aggravated” harassment aimed at Muslims. During the case, Mr Overd told the judge he must be born again.

The charges were brought under the Public Order Act.

We were pleased to support Michael Overd when he faced similar charges and was acquitted at Taunton Magistrates Court in 2012.

Mr Overd, 50, was fined £200 and ordered to pay compensation of £250 and costs of £950 totalling £1,400 at Bristol Crown Court.

Sentencing, judge Shamim Qureshi told Mr Overd he “knew full well the power of words to hurt”. We understand the Muslim judge came down from Birmingham to sit in the case, and it was when he referred to Christianity and Islam as joint Abrahamic faiths that Michael Overd urged him to repent and be born again.

He was told to pay £250 to his ‘victim’, Darren Chalmers. Mr Overd said the judgement was “flawed” and told the judge he would have to “answer to the same God”.

After the failed case in 2012, the police began looking for complaints against the long-standing Taunton preacher again last year, appealing in a local newspaper for the public to record him making “offensive remarks”. A number of witnesses said they could not remember what Mr Overd said, just that it was ‘offensive’.

Support for the principle of street preaching came from the Bishop of Peterborough, Rt Rev Donald Allister, who said we should have freedom to express our views, provided it were done in a Christian manner.

A campaign by the Christian Institute to remove the word ‘insulting’ from the Public Order Act was meant to stop preachers being prosecuted, but the police have just switched to charging them with ‘threatening and abusive’ behaviour instead.

Intriguingly, the judge had reserved judgement, which indicates he wanted to take advice from those higher up.

Judge Qureshi told the preacher he seemed to enjoy testing the laws on free speech to their limits. He said: “In my view he enjoys coaxing people into asking him questions so that he can reply loudly into the microphone to answer them.

Mr Overd had “double standards”, the judge said, ‘believing he was right and everyone else was wrong’, according to the BBC, although that does not seem to indicate ‘double standards’, merely settled views. The complainant, Darren Chalmers, appears to have contrary views to Mr Overd which are just as settled.

“He happily shouts out the negative points in any other religion,” said the judge, without acknowledging that the negative points in Islam are not very hard to find.

Asked after the case whether he would tone down his sermons, Mr Overd said: “I follow my Lord and leader, so I won’t tone down.”

Mr Overd had faced two charges of using threatening and abusive words, and a third of causing racially or religiously aggravated harassment, alarm or distress. Only one charge succeeded.

We understand Michael Overd is being advised to appeal to the Crown Court.

PRAY: Thank God for Michael Overd and pray the Lord will bless him and grant District Judge Qureshi in the case repentance and faith in Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Is Allah Almighty God?

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Britain. But who or what do Muslims worship? Is their “Allah”, an Arabic expression which means ‘the god’, the same being as the Lord God of the Bible?

Is Allah Almighty God?

Muslims certainly claim to worship the same god as Abraham did. They claim Allah’s continuity with the God of the Bible. And of course you will find politicians and multi-faith pundits also saying, ‘Christians and Muslims worship the same God!’ But is such a view tenable?

In around four minutes and by the grace of God we look at the scriptures in which the Father speaks of the Lord Jesus as his ’beloved son’ and where the Lord and his apostles confirmed his identity. We compare this evidence with that of the Quran, in which Allah denies having a son (a bit beneath his dignity, he says).

It is hard not to draw the obvious conclusion. View the video for yourself.

Christianity in the Face of ISIS

As reports of ISIS’ activity have increased, the stories have become more and more discouraging. But despite the atrocities being perpetrated by these terrorists, God is still sovereign over all:

Isaiah 51:8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Below are two stories showing that some good can come from the horror.

Many have read about the 21 supposedly Egyptian Coptic Christians beheaded by ISIS in late February. However, the story of one of those men has not been widely publicised.

This Chadian man, middle, converted to Christianity after seeing the faith of the other men.

Of the twenty-one Christians that were beheaded, only twenty of these men were Egyptian and already Christians.

Many, seeing the pictures, would have been puzzled by the presence of a black man amongst them. This man, a citizen of Chad, was not a Christian but he had been taken for one by the terrorists.

As he watched the Coptic Christians being martyred for their faith, he was convicted of his own lack of faith. When the terrorist reached him and demanded that he reject Jesus Christ, the man said: “Their God is my God.”

He was then executed like his Christian brothers. We do not know how this story emerged, but Patheos News reports, “the joy in this story is that 21 martyrs to Christ entered heaven that day.”

This man was kidnapped along with twenty other Christians, and could easily have denied Christ. But the faith of the twenty other men convinced him he was lost without Christ, just as the thief in Luke 23 was convicted of his sin at Jesus’ crucifixion:

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Scottish registrars given ‘conscience clause’

By

10 March 2015

The Scottish Government has given registrars a conscience clause not to take part in ‘gay marriage’ ceremonies.

The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 provides that local authorities must provide a registrar to conduct a same-sex ‘marriage’ but does not say that every individual registrar is obliged to participate.

A spokesperson for the Scottish Government told the homosexual website PinkNews.co.uk: “Each local authority must provide an authorised registrar to conduct a marriage or civil partnership in the area chosen by the couple, regardless of that couple’s sexual orientation. It is a matter for local authorities to manage the provision of that service.

“There is no opt-out for individual registrars included in the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014.

“However, we have been clear that we expect local authorities to handle with sensitivity any registrar who objects to carrying out a same sex marriage on the basis of their religion or belief.”

Naturally, if the expression does not fall too awkwardly, the pro-gay National Secular Society is upset. It’s homosexual president, Terry Sanderson, complained: “The Scottish Government is putting local authorities in an invidious position of having to decide individually whether it is OK for religious registrars to discriminate against gay couples.

“There should be a clear policy to guide them and that policy should be that gay couples are entitled to equal treatment from all registrars.”

But Sanderson goes on to argue that the conscience of Christian registrars is increasingly being supported by the European Court of Human Rights.

Referring to the case of Lilian Ladele, who was sacked by the London Borough of Islington after she voiced concerns about participating in civil partnerships, he declared: “The court said that any policy aimed at restricting religious opt outs should have been agreed before any case is brought.

“Local authorities will have to make a very strong case for not allowing religious registrars to refuse to even administer same-sex marriages, let alone carry out ceremonies. If Lillian Ladele brought her case today, she would probably win.”

Indeed, a Christian registrar who was previously dismissed by Central Bedfordshire Council after refusing to conduct same-sex weddings was reinstated last year.

Margaret Jones, a senior deputy registrar at Bedford register office, was sacked by her employers after confirming that she would be unwilling to conduct same-sex weddings on the basis of her Christian beliefs.

However, Ms Jones was offered her job back after an internal appeal hearing in August last year (2014) found her employer had not taken a “balanced view” of her beliefs.

The tribunal overturned the decision by Central Bedfordshire Council, noting Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance “[encourages] employers and employees to find reasonable solutions to religion or belief issues at work”.

That outcome also had the National Secular Society convulsed by impotent fury, writing to the Council asking it to ‘clarify’ its position regarding employees’ requests to opt out of part of their job requirements.

Margaret Jones declined the job reinstatement offer, but Stephen Evans, National Secular Society campaigns manager, raged: “Discriminatory acts have a moral significance beyond the deprivation of the relevant service and the fact that other registrars could conduct the ceremonies is irrelevant.”

This may be no more than a faint glimmer of good news, but welcome as the homosexual juggernaut rumbles on.
