    Good, abortion is abhorrent, and we need to be able to talk about it.

    Edit: obviously I knew I’d have a lynch mob after me from saying this. It’s clear I am not the only person in the world with his opinion, and it’s good if there is some organisation willing to support people with opinions contrary to the mainstream. A lot of people are against abortion in varying degrees.

  2. If a Russian government official met with someone in the UK and demanded they help them change UK domestic policy that person would be sanction as a foreign agent

    It is a disgrace Trumps cartel seemingly get a free pass on this to meet with people and pay them to carry out Trumps will in the UK

  3. These dark age pricks need to be silenced. It’s dangerous rhetoric that is largely responsible for destroying America over the past 70 years.

    These fundamentalist religious terrorist organisations should be banned from the UK…

    These US christian groups are the same people who funded the anti trans stuff from the last 5 years. Now they’ve got their foothold in the UK with that, they’re targeting other things. Abortion here, but gay marriage is also in their sights. You can see in America that they’re also starting to talk about removing votes for women. It sounds so extreme and so unbelievable that this kind of thing could make it over to us, but it definitely can.

    It’s the classic “first they came for” poem for the 21st century and it feels like people haven’t changed in 100 years, they still ignore the stuff that doesnt affect them until it’s too late

    Foreign religious extremists meddling in our politics should be viciously opposed by us all, regardless of what religion it is or what their skin colour is.

    Weird how parts of the right care a lot when it’s brown skinned people of a certain other religion doing it, but cheer it on when it’s white skinned so called “christians” doing it. Not consistent in their principles at all.

    Where there’s US Cristian’s there’s money. Where’s there’s money you’ll find Farage, little Tommeh, tice, Lowe, Tate etc. follow the money.

    Wonder what Farage has to say about this, since they are pumping money/think tanking into Reform.

    I doubt he’ll be asked.

    These people are not in any sense Christian, but they cannot be ignored they are far to dangerous for that.

  10. They’re being assisted by the media too.

    One of their protestors got herself arrested in Scotland by breaking the buffer zone law and then got invited into newsrooms around the UK to talk about it, claiming religious persecution etc.

  11. Now that private funding has managed to set trans rights back by decades, we’re to see it turned on other Christian nationalist targets.

  12. No. Absolutely not. Fuck off. I won’t have this medieval thinking infect this fucking country; it’s already falling into a cesspit of American bullshit, we don’t need this.

  13. Vance talking about buffer zones being against free speech is a tad hypocritical. I’m pretty sure there’s a buffer zone outside the UN Building in New York.

    Last time I went there’s a sign that prohibits protest directly outside the building. There was a free Tibet protest across the road though

  14. Fuck off. We have an age old tradition here, it’s called “mind your own fucking business.”

    Christian here:

    These people need to get back to the US, sort their own car crash of a country out and mind their own business. They’re determined to make abortion the huge deal it is in the States over here and it’s infuriating.

  16. Oh for the love of God do they have have 300 million (well, 150 million, I suppose) of their own people to oppress?

  17. I hope all the Reform voters who support them on their anti-immigrant policy are going to come out and say why the groups that help fund Reform and anti-abortion and anti-LGBT groups are fine. These are the same stances Reform back and will promote should they get into power.

  18. > On Monday, JD Vance hosted Danny Kruger, a Conservative MP, and James Orr, a religious philosopher influential in Reform UK, who share the vice-president’s opposition to abortion. Orr does not think abortion should be allowed at any stage of foetal development, including those pregnancies resulting from rape.

    So these 3 guys, 2 of whom are extremely privileged upper class white Oxbridge graduates are telling you it is fine if a women bleeds to death from ectopic pregnancy turned to sepsis? Because that is what they are really saying. Pregnancy is dangerous but so is life etc. Who said that? Errr God? Sure. No further questions 

    And that it is okay if a woman with a ruptured foetus draining inside her is refused treatment at a medical facility because they are afraid of being reported and prosecuted? That’s okay too.  Because that is the end game of viewing pregnancy as a religious experience, viewing medical treatment as wrong and that is what is happening in America. Women are being viewed as baby wrappers that can be discarded. Women don’t matter. 

    And that might be your girlfriend or your sister or your daughter, if men feel they aren’t impacted. There are people losing their mothers. A clump of cells gets priority to a living person. Too bad for her, eh? She should have closed her legs etc. And if you think that is blunt, look on here. That is how Americans talk about it. Stop being a slag is their only childish cruel “advice”. 

    If these guys were Muslims or even Israeli Jews, there would be carnage. Danny Kruger is also the son of Prue Leith for what it’s worth. We can’t let them change our society for the worst.

    Thank God reflected and guided us out of the control of others, we are now sovereign.

    Once again, American culture eroding and destroying the values and unity of others.
