Labour Plans New Attack on Christians
Britian's Labour government is planning a new attack to try to silence Christian efforts to save homosexuals. The Starmer regime is considering a new law on so called conversion therapy.
‘Conversion therapy’ is the phrase LGBTQ militants use to try to demonise measure intended to help homosexuals who want to go straight. It includes repentance as well as preaching, prayer, pastoral care and even parenting that fails to endorse liberal theology.So biblically faithful preaching, prayer, pastoral care and parenting are all comin under attack.
The Christian Institute has instructed solicitors in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland to prepare the ground for a potential judicial review of any new laws on ‘conversion therapy’ that restrict religious freedom.
This is based on legal advice received from one of the UK’s leading human rights KCs warning that an indiscriminate ban could criminalise the ordinary work of churches. This would put the UK in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights and open the Government to legal challenge in the courts.
The Institute has won both its previous judicial reviews against UK governments. The first, in 2007, resulted in a partial strike down of the Northern Ireland Sexual Orientation Regulations. The second, in 2016, resulted in the repeal of the Scottish Government’s unlawful ‘Named Person’ scheme.
Aidan O’Neill KC has also provided two legal opinions for the Institute.
In the first in December 2022 he warned that the Scottish Government’s extreme ‘conversion therapy’ proposals are “beyond the powers of the Scottish Parliament to legislate”. He explained that the “fundamentally illiberal” proposals also breach Holyrood’s competence as set out in the Scotland Act of 1998 as they contain measures which change UK equality and discrimination law which is not devolved to Holyrood.
Liberals always scream about "choice", but look how they react when people make choices they don't like!

Drug Centre Slammed
Liberal attitudes to drugs pose a danger to addicts as well as the wider public. Addicts are risking poisoning themselves with illegal drugs at a Government-sanctioned ‘shooting gallery’, Dublin City Councillor Cieran Perry has warned.
Cllr. Perry says that the city centre drug room run by charity Merchants Quay Ireland (MQI), which allows users to inject heroin and cocaine without fear of prosecution, is simply “maintaining people in addiction”.
During the first six weeks of operation, 233 people visited Ireland’s first ever Medically Supervised Injection Facility (MSIF) and staff have already reported treating 15 overdoses.
Perry told RTÉ’s Prime Time that the 18-month pilot project is not “trying to get to the core problem of tackling addiction” and that “referral rates historically are extremely poor from facilities like this”.
He criticised MQI for failing to tackle “personal addiction and to get people off drugs to provide detoxification or rehabilitation”.
The Independent Councillor accused the project of “allowing them, facilitating them, to continue to poison themselves.”
Plans to open the drug shooting gallery have faced strong opposition from the outset over the dangers it presents to local school children, the adverse impact on tourism, and for attracting drug dealers.

Assisted Suicide Safeguards Scrapped
The sponsor of the Assisted Suicide bill waited until most MPs had left parliament to launch a cynical move to remove essential safeguards. Now even MPs who were previously in favour of the euthanasia law are calling the latest planned safety review arrangements "death panels".

Christian Teacher Vindicated
The dismissal of a Christian teaching assistant for sharing her concerns about extreme sex ed materials in her son’s school was unlawful, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Lord Justice Underhill said the decision to sack Mrs Kristie Higgs for expressing her views to friends on social media about the controversial ‘No Outsiders’ programme “constituted unlawful discrimination on the ground of religion and belief”.
In 2019, Farmor’s School in Fairford, Gloucestershire, argued that Mrs Higgs’ comments on her personal Facebook page could damage its reputation and dismissed her for gross misconduct.Disciplinary panel
Mrs Higgs’ first post focused on a Relationships and Sex Education petition, while the second was linked to an article on pro-LGBT children’s books.
An anonymous complaint to her secondary school employer prompted a disciplinary panel to consider the case.
Farmor’s decided that she should be dismissed – despite having an exemplary record – on grounds including “illegal discrimination”.
She was accused of “serious inappropriate use of social media”, and “online comments that could bring the school into disrepute and damage the reputation of the school”.
After a six-year battle, Mrs Higgs gave “praise, glory and honour” to God for the decision.

Persecuted UK Pro-Lifer Thanks Vance
The British man who U.S. Vice President JD Vance mentioned as he slammed European elites in Germany on Friday thanked him for referencing his 2022 arrest.
On Saturday morning, Adam Smith-Connor released a 53-second video calling out the hypocrisy of “UK authorities” while heaping praise on Vance for bringing what he called his “crazy” story to the attention of the world.
“I just want to say thank you to Vice President Vance for raising my plight in front of world leaders. Nobody should be criminalized for their prayers, their mere thoughts,” Smith-Connor began.
“My case has exposed the UK authorities in front of the world as they allow thought police to prosecute peaceful, innocent people, for what’s going on in their minds.”
“I will be appealing my conviction in July and pray that justice will be restored to Great Britain. Silent prayers are not a crime. Not here, not anywhere,” he concluded.
The army veteran was given a two-year suspended sentence and ordered to pay £9,000 for saying a silent prayer for his aborted son outside an abortion mill. Before going to trial in 2024, he said that his arrest was a symbol of a nation in decline.
“It is unfathomable that in an apparently free society, I am being criminally charged on the basis of my silent thoughts,” he said.
