PWC security staff inexplicably attempt to move us off the public highway outside the firm’s HQ near London Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two banks and the world’s biggest firm of accountants were on the receiving end of a witness against name-calling by homosexuals yesterday.<\/p>\n

Price Waterhouse Cooper, known as ‘PWC’, Coutts and Barclays are all sponsoring awards for the annual Stonewall pro-sodomy awards dinner.\u00a0 Barclays Bank are sponsoring the \u2018sports award\u2019, Coutts Bank are funding \u2018writer of the year\u2019 and PWC are sponsoring \u2018hero of the year\u2019<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But not content with congratulating those who have advanced the homosexual cause, Stonewall also have a ‘bigot of the year’ award, just to insult and bully their opponents.<\/p>\n

Christian Voice supporters started outside Coutts Bank at lunchtime, before moving to Barclays flagship branch in Piccadiily Circus and finishing at PWC for going-home time.<\/p>\n

In fairness, our leaflets pointed out that Barclays have at least condemned the ‘bigot award’ as ‘beyond the pale’ which is more than Coutts or PWC have done.\u00a0 Nevertheless, all three institutions compliment Stonewall on their work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
PWC’s front entrance off Tooley Street, SE1. Do its directors agree with Stonewall’s demands for gay marriage or not?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whether that means the directors of\u00a0PWC, Coutts and Barclays support ‘gay marriage’, Stonewall’s big new demand, and the consequent redefinition of marriage and it key concept of ‘consummation’, none of them have yet addressed.<\/p>\n

Last year, Nationwide Building Society sponsored the whole awards dinner, but after being made of the ‘bigot’ award by Christian Voice, pulled out of any more financial involvement with the dinner (see links below).<\/p>\n

Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, commented today:<\/p>\n

‘This was a very blessed time for us, and we pray that some of the 250 leaflets we handed out to the well-dressed employees of Coutts opposite Charing Cross Station and the 100 at Barclays have made people think about whether these banks’ relationship with Stonewall is a bit too close.<\/p>\n

‘The security staff at Coutts and Barclays were dignified enough to stay inside and allow our witness to proceed uninterrupted.\u00a0 The same could not be said of PWC, whose bouncers tried to have us moved on.\u00a0 PWC has a back entrance in the private ‘More London’ complex, and its main\u00a0entrance is in Abbey Street off Tooley Street near London Bridge Station.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Don’t cross the line! The division between the public highway in Tooley St and More London’s diagonal paving in Abbey St.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

‘They came out to remonstrate and even called the ‘More London’ staff when we were on the public highway in Tooley Street.\u00a0 Clearly we struck a nerve, but the PWC staff were more willing than the Coutts folk or the Barclays customers and passers-by to take our leaflets.\u00a0 Four hundred were given out at PWC, a total for the day of 750.<\/p>\n

‘We also had an encounter with the police when someone complained that the leaflets were insulting, abusive or threatening, along the lines of Section 5 of the Public Order ACt 1986.\u00a0 However, the police office who attended told us he saw that we were calm and reasonable, not causing an obstruction, and that there was nothing in the leaflet that could cause a reasonable person alarm or distress.<\/p>\n

‘The leaflets also nailed five key lies told by the sodomy lobby and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 All in all it was a very worthwhile exercise and we pray that our gracious God will open someone’s mind to the sad truth about homosexuality and turn at least one heart to the truth that Jesus Christ died to release everyone who belives in him from both the stain of sin and the power of sin.<\/p>\n

‘May God be praised and glorified in the Lord Jesus’<\/p>\n

Please sign our Petition: <\/strong><\/p>\n

We the undersigned believe that the homosexual Stonewall group’s ‘Bigot of the Year’ award is a shameless piece of bullying and name-calling.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are aghast that Barclays Bank, Coutts Bank and Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC) are named as sponsors of Stonewall’s awards dinner on the website page for this year’s event on 1st November, at which a public figure will be insulted and vilified as ‘bigot of the year’.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We call on Barclays Bank, Coutts Bank and PWC to stop sponsoring this aggressive, immature and divisive group forthwith.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The five lies told by homosexual activists nailed by the Christian Voice leaflets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘(1) Homosexuals claim to be 10% of the population on the basis of the dishonest Kinsey Report.\u00a0 The true figure from proper academic research is around 1.5%.
\n‘(2) They claim they were born that way, refusing to accept the evidence of ‘ex-gay’ men and women who have turned their backs on the gay lifestyle and been released from their homosexual desires.
\n‘(3) They insist they just want to live their lives in peace, yet they hold intimidating gay pride parades and their paid activists campaign for laws to silence dissenting voices and force all of us to respect their immorality.
\n‘(4) They do all they can to avoid discussing the reality of their abusive, dangerous sexual practices, framing their arguments instead in terms of ‘human rights’.
\n‘(5) They pretend their lives are just the same as everyone else’s, despite academic studies revealing promiscuity levels and associated ill-health in the gay world unheard of even in today’s sex-obsessed heterosexual society.’<\/p>\n
