🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law.
The initiative would have placed “hate speech” and “hate crimes” in the same category as human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime.
The proposal required unanimous consent, but several member states BLOCKED the initiative in the Council due to free speech concerns.
This is a major victory for freedom of expression. But the battle is not over yet 👇

🚨 Forbidden Colours, whose "Hate Review" amounts to an over 450-page smear campaign against those it disagrees with, has received funding from EU institutions and the King Baudouin Foundation.
Last week, we sent a letter to @FRB_KBS, asking them to publicly distance themselves from the report's biased, dubious findings.
This was their response ⬇️

Eleven million abortions. Six decades. Countless stories of grief and loss that deserve to be heard.
Since Britain's Abortion Act received Royal Assent 59 years ago, the number of abortions has surpassed eleven million. Women who grieve are still denied a voice.
@daisymaeinglese on the trauma behind the numbers, and why we can't restore a culture of life while refusing to acknowledge those who mourn:

🚨Should teachers be FIRED for honestly answering a student's question?
That's what happened to Anita Meston, a Christian teacher who said she was pro-life when asked by a student.

Absolutely! The fact that I've been persued for four years over this should be concerning to people no matter what their views are on abortion or Christianity.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce faces criminal charges for standing silently on a street, saying nothing and obstructing no one. Whatever your views on abortion, CJ Strachan argues that criminalising silent prayer is not who we are. dailysceptic.org/2026/10/11/…

Assisted suicide and euthanasia are especially dangerous for vulnerable people — including those who are elderly, disabled, or in cognitive decline.
Every human life, regardless of age or medical condition, should be protected.

This @DailyMail post has 9.5 million views. @Kelsisheren originally broke this story on her @Substack. Canadian media ignores the countless MAID cases that are likely criminal violations and we depend on international and independent media to expose our reality to ourselves.
Our 83-year-old Christian grandmother was euthanised against her will under Canada's assisted dying system - she died covered in blood with her hands clasped in prayer trib.al/vqrDMuf

To understand why the assisted suicide bill failed, start with this exchange between Danny Kruger and Kim Leadbeater.
Again and again opponents pointed out the disturbing consequences of the bill, and supporters just tried to avoid talking about them:
‼️ BREAKING: Westminster rejects assisted suicide bill! By 286-270.
This follows an increasingly common pattern. A degree of initial support that falls away once the full reality gets exposed. Scotland, Slovenia, parts of Canada… and now the UK. A vote for life and proper care!

Soo excited for my fourth March for Life this Saturday, 5 September in London

The pattern is clear: over time, where euthanasia or assisted suicide are legalised, the number of people choosing it increases, and legislation becomes increasingly permissive.

‼️ An important step forward for protecting women's sport.
Following our warning, 2 UK sports groups are changing their policies to now be based on biological sex rather than self-identified gender.
This change will prevent biological males from competing in female categories.

What if you were banned from entering a country because you believed in the Bible?
That is what is happening to Päivi Räsänen.
Earlier this year, she was criminally convicted of "hate speech" for a church booklet she wrote in 2004, peacefully expressing her Christian views.
Now, that unjust conviction is preventing her from entering the UK:

URGENT: Finnish politician Päivi Räsänen has been blocked from entering the UK to speak about free speech at an event this week in Northern Ireland, following her criminal “hate speech” conviction in Finland, for peacefully expressing her Christian views in a decades-old church booklet.
Now, Räsänen and ADF are calling on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to make a last-minute intervention, to allow Räsänen to enter the UK and speak at the event in person on Friday.
It is outrageous that a democratically elected politician in an allied European country has been blocked from entering the UK, for expressing her Christian beliefs.
There is still time for this egregious state censorship to be reversed.

Official statement by @beirasplace on @AmnestyUK's recent climbdown.
"Beira’s Place acknowledges the apology published by Amnesty International together with the undertaking to commission an independent external review into how two reports containing such false and harmful allegations could be published and promoted in its name.
The permanent removal of both reports is a tacit acceptance that they contained allegations which were false and defamatory of a large number of organisations which it classed as ‘gender critical'. While the apology is welcomed it does not rectify the reputational damage caused to Beira’s Place. In particular the apology fails to recognise that those most severely impacted are the staff who work day in day out to support survivors of sexual violence and the many women who need and use the service.
Although the apology extends to those groups classed as 'gender critical' it is noteworthy that many other organisations were wrongly defamed by Amnesty in both reports forsimply upholding the protected belief that sex is real, immutable and important in many areas of life. Those organisations also deserve a written apology."
.@AmnestyUK have issued an apology today - that is good news! But while it specifically calls out "Beira’s Place and other groups, which we categorised as gender critical organisations" there is no reference to the Christian organisations that were also obviously targeted.
.@AmnestyUK also says the report "should never have been published" and doesn't reflect their institutional position. But this is the second briefing they've had to pull for the same "anti-rights" framing, and there is more. That sounds exactly like an...institutional position.

.@AmnestyUK branded us "anti-rights" then backtracked under fire. But it wasn't a one-off. This week, 11 Christian charities wrote to the Charity Commission to set the record straight. Disagreeing with Amnesty on a handful of contested questions isn't a threat to human rights.
@AmnestyUK's “anti-rights” report was so bad, they took it down. But we saw it — and we saw its deeply anti-Christian bias.
Yesterday, we sent a letter to @ChtyCommission together with 10 Christian charities targeted by the report, to set the record straight on our mission, values, and contributions to society.
