Starmer LIED to Trump & JD Vance about the state of free speech in Britain Sad truth is that the American VP cares more about free speech in the UK than our own government On today's #NCFDeprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt and Connor Tomlinson speak with Paul Coleman, Executive Director of the Alliance to Defend Freedom.
The fallout continues from US vice-president J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. Criticising Europe over what he sees as the retreat of free speech, he singled out the case of Adam Smith-Connor in the UK as something that worries him about the direction that Britain is heading in. Smith-Connor was arrested in 2022 and prosecuted for breaching an abortion buffer-zone in Bournemouth. Freddy Gray speaks to Paul Coleman at the ARC conference in London. Paul is executive director of ADF International, a faith-based legal advocacy organisation that has been advocating for Smith-Connor. What is the truth behind abortion buffer-zones? Is this part of a wider 'censorship industrial complex'? And does Vance's criticism signal a new era of free speech? Produced by Natasha Feroze and Patrick Gibbons.

It's Monday, April 22nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Bible-tweet case to be heard at Finnish Supreme Court Päivi Räsänen, Finland's former Minister of Interior and a sitting Finnish parliamentarian, will stand trial for a third time for her Bible-verse tweet, as confirmed by the Supreme Court of Finland, reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Despite the Christian grandmother of 11 being acquitted unanimously of “hate speech” charges before both the Helsinki District Court, and the Court of Appeal, the State prosecutor appealed the case. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear that appeal on a date to be set in the future. Räsänen stands criminally charged for sharing her Biblically-based views on marriage and sexual ethics, in a 2019 tweet, and in a 2004 pamphlet which she wrote for her church, cantered on Genesis 1:27 which explains that God created men and women. Commenting on the Supreme Court's decision, Räsänen said, “This was not just about my opinions, but about everyone's freedom of expression.” Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, is supporting Räsänen's legal defense. He said, “This is a watershed case in the story of Europe's creeping censorship. In a democratic Western nation in 2024, nobody should be on trial for their faith – yet throughout the prosecution of Päivi Räsänen and Bishop [Juhana] Pohjola, we have seen something akin to a ‘heresy' trial, where Christians are dragged through court for holding beliefs that differ from the approved orthodoxy of the day. “The state's insistence on continuing this prosecution after almost five long years, despite such clear and unanimous rulings from the lower courts, is alarming. The process is the punishment in such instances, resulting in a chill on free speech for all citizens observing.” House Passes $95 Billion Foreign Aid Package On Saturday, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would give financial assistance to American partners in the Indo-Pacific, Ukraine, and Israel, reports The Epoch Times. This comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) faces growing discontent among conservatives, particularly over the billions in funding for Ukraine and its lack of border security measures. The House passed the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine in a 311–112 vote. The $8 billion measure providing for Indo-Pacific and Taiwanese security passed in a 385–34 vote. Another bill funding $26 billion for Israel passed 366–58. JOHNSON: “The world is destabilized and it's a tinderbox. It's a dangerous time. Three of our primary adversaries -- Russia and Iran and China -- are working together and they're being aggressors around the globe. They're a global threat to our prosperity and our security. Their advance threatens the free world and it demands American leadership. If we turn our backs right now, the consequences could be devastating.” Now that it's been passed by the House, the legislation will go to the Senate as a single package, where it's expected to easily pass. Former Congresswoman: American Democrats have joined Team Hamas & Iran In an interview on “Understanding the Times with Jan Markell,” former Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann bemoaned the fact that President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and others in American political leadership, have seemingly abandoned Team Israel and joined Team Hamas. BACHMANN: “Now, we're seeing a shift with the White House, with the President and the Vice President, with the leading Jew in the United States, which would be Chuck Schumer, the head of the United States Senate, with our Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with Nancy Pelosi, who is essentially the head of the House of Representatives, as far as the Democrats are concerned. “They all came out one after another, just in this last two weeks, and they've come one by one to condemn Israel, and to tell Israel, ‘You're going to lose this war. You're going to pull back.' They've gone so far as to embrace and move from Team Israel to Team Hamas. And, what's worse, the Democrat Party has embraced Team Iran!” Congresswoman Bachmann elaborated on Iran's goal. BACHMANN: “And the goal of Iran is very clear. The Ayatollah – [Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei] -- made it very clear himself when he wrote his book in 2015. He said, ‘If Muslims and Palestinians unite and fight, the Zionist regime will not be in existence in 25 years.' He wrote that, and he means it. Benjamin Netanyahu said, ‘I believe the sincerity of the Ayatollah,' knowing that no statement has changed that. “We just saw they were screaming ‘Death to America! Death to Israel!' They're following Islamic law. They believe that within a very short period of time they will realize their dream of killing every Jew in Israel and taking over the land.” Members of Kennedy Family endorse Biden over Kennedy Some members of the Kennedy family are backing President Joe Biden re-election bid even as their own relative, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., runs as an independent presidential candidate, reports The Blaze. RFK Jr.'s brother, Chris Kennedy, has gone as far as describing Biden as "the RFK of his generation." CHRIS KENNEDY: “When I think of modern politicians in our country in this century, I think Joe Biden is the RFK of his generation.” And Rory Kennedy, a sister of RFK, Jr, described Biden this way. RORY KENNEDY: “This is a president who embodies the Kennedy legacy.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has 10 siblings, is the son of the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968. In response to his siblings' endorsements of Joe Biden for president, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tweeted, “I hear some of my family will be endorsing President Biden today. I am pleased they are politically active — it's a family tradition. We are divided in our opinions but united in our love for each other. ... My campaign, which many of my family members are working on and supportive of, is about healing America.” Australian bishop forgives his Muslim stabber And finally, the Australian bishop, who was stabbed in the middle of a sermon during a church service on Monday and is recovering in the hospital, has forgiven his alleged attacker, reports the Christian Post. Bishop Mari Emmanuel, age 53, has been in the hospital since he was stabbed by a 15-year-old male while in the middle of a livestreamed service at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd church in Wakeley. A 39-year-old priest was also allegedly stabbed after attempting to intervene. Other churchgoers were hurt in the scuffle as well. All are expected to make full recoveries. The bishop is now asking his supporters to emulate Jesus, through "Christlike" behavior, rather than engaging in vengeful words or actions following the attack. In Luke 6:27-28, Jesus said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, April 22nd in the year of our Lord 2024.

She joins us to discuss the work of ADF who's tagline, “Protecting everyone's right to live & speak the Truth in the UK”, is needed more than ever. Are Christian freedoms really under threat in the UK? Lois discusses a number of issues which are off limits legally. Speaking up for the rights of the unborn. SIlent prayer on a public footpath. Common sense factual statements on gender and sexuality. Asking people if they want to talk about the sanctity of life. Criminalising thoughts that are the wrong emotion. So many views and actions have been attacked by this so called conservative government. And where is the church amidst this woke wave of censorship? Lois McLatchie serves as a senior legal communications officer for ADF UK . She works with journalists and press representatives to advocate for fundamental freedoms in the “court of public opinion”, both in written pieces and through public speaking. Before beginning her current role, Lois was a legal analyst on ADF International's UN Advocacy Team at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. There, she provided Member State representatives with key legal resources and amendatory language which promotes the inherent value of every person. She is an alumnus of ADF International's Veritas Scholarship, under which she she completed training on on international law, communications and argumentation. Lois also holds an LLM Human Rights Law with distinction from the University of Kent, and an MA (Hons) International Relations from the University of St Andrews. During her studies, she participated in Areté Academy and Blackstone Legal Fellowship, where she completed extensive research on bioethical issues, including surrogacy.

Lois, thank you so much for your time today. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Great to have you on and followed you on Twitter, on your many, many different media outlets in the UK, GB News and Talk TV, Talk Radio. People can follow you. There is your Twitter handle and all the links are in the description. You're the Senior Legal Communications Officer for ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom. I followed ADF for many, many years. And it's ADF.UK, but everything is there. And I think the tagline on ADF on the Twitter is protecting everyone's right to live and speak the truth in the UK, which is under attack. And that's truth with a capital T. Maybe we'll touch on that as well. I said before, I've had the privilege of doing work with Paul Coleman, who's your executive director. Great to have you on and discuss this whole area, which I don't know if we've talked about for a long time on Christian freedoms. But maybe I'll ask you a simple question that the left trans say, of course it's not, and that is freedoms, specifically Christian freedoms. How are they actually under threat in the UK? Yeah, well, thanks for that question. Well, I think looking around us as Christians in the UK, we can sense that there is a changing culture, which is fine. Christians at the church have survived throughout thousands of generations of many different challenges. But the one that faces us today is one that's particularly sensorial. I say that because of a lot of the legislation that has been brought in recently in my home country in Scotland, most notably, but also across the UK, where the ability to speak truth. We're taught to speak in grace and truth is increasingly being reduced for the fear of offending somebody sometimes or because, more likely, different ideologies set to take precedence. I think, in Western countries, there has always been one belief or one ideology that is dominant. In and many years ago, that was the church. The church had in place blasphemy laws back in the 1600s. It was wrong to stop people from challenging or questioning the church or even having conversations about what different interpretations of the Bible might mean, of course. We should have allowed those conversations. It was wrong to always impose blasphemy laws with very harsh sentences. But what we're seeing today is in the West, in the UK and across different countries like Finland and across the European Union; we're seeing laws come in which actually just reverse that and we have situations where we can't speak out against what are considered to be the true dogmas or the the most popular narrative views of our day. Whenever we're in a situation like that uh that's a disadvantage to everyone because we don't get to have the conversations about important societal issues that we need and especially right now it is a disadvantage to Christians who are commanded and who love to be able to speak about their beliefs and share and exchange them with other people. And maybe you want to touch on the role of Alliance Defending Freedom. I know that you work here in the UK, but I initially saw it as as a U.S organization. I think it's expanded now to to many parts of the world. It's to my mind, it's probably the major Christian organization defending individuals' rights to speak truth in many areas in society. And the attacks are becoming wider and wider in every area. But maybe our viewers in the UK may not be so aware of ADF. Do you want to just let the viewers know what ADF is and what actually it does? Yeah, absolutely. Well, ADF stands for Alliance Defending Freedom. And the US reference that you mentioned, well, we as an organisation began in the US over 25 years ago. But, 10 years ago, we started up a new branch of ADF, called ADF International, which is headquartered in Vienna. We, as a new international organization, have an eye to keep the right to live and speak the truth free all over the world. So, we have an alliance of over 4,000 lawyers who we support. Whatever their challenges are in their own country, to the concept of being able to speak the truth. They can come to us and we can support them in being able to take these things through courts. And we also have in-house legal teams based in situations of political significance: at the European Union, at the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, or we have a big office in Washington DC because of the Latin American jurisdictions there or the institutions there. Here in London, we have an office ADF UK, and we work in-house to be supporting these rights, to be serving serving those individuals who are dragged through courts unfairly because of their faith. Or to be promoting in the media and in politics, these foundational ideas that are core. For example, over here in the UK, freedom of speech has been a core value to the Brits for a long, long time, as well as supporting things like the right to life, again, which has been secured in our understanding of human rights law in the West for a long, long time. Although, we have an international presence in each location that we're based in, we work locally with a local team working on local issues with local laws. I think there's a big difference between stateside and over in Europe where in the States you wear your faith on your sleeve more. The conversations are, I think, more vocal and more public, where certainly in the UK, your faith is supposedly a private thing that you keep away from your public life. Is that one of the reasons why we've got to where we're going; Christians taking themselves out of the public sphere? I think probably these things are symbiotic aren't they. As laws and culture and this kind of concept of cancel culture increases it can put pressure on Christians and others of minority beliefs to stay quiet and then that can perpetuate the kind of myth that these views are outdated and don't really exist and therefore legislation comes in to make it even more difficult to express our faith and therefore this cycle kind of continues. And that's one of the reasons why it's so important for Christians to be standing up for their freedom of speech. Sometimes, this can be seen as kind of an icky thing to do to be engaging in our rights and we were supposed to, you know, we are called to be persecuted and some people feel awkward or difficult about speaking up for their rights but we're encouraged to do so, because Paul the apostle when he was under pressure for assessing his beliefs he called on the Roman Roman justice system and invoked his rights as a Roman citizen. And it wasn't because he was afraid of going to prison or afraid of suffering, but it was because, for many reasons, firstly, upholding justice in a country is important. Secondly, because this can be an opportunity to share our story with a wider group of people and to secure the right for them too, to be able to live and speak the truth, to share their faith. It's important to engage in the structures of society that we have around us. And of course, we know that the message of Christianity can have a phenomenal impact, not only in the lives of individuals and in us loving our neighbour to be able to share the truth like this, but also in societies. If you look to pre-Christian Rome, for example, the culture was more hedonistic and awful than today. They were engaging in child sacrifice in some instances. Women were treated as about the same worth as a loaf of bread. Babies were exposed on rubbish heaps if they weren't wanted simply because they were girls. Yet, Christianity came in with a transformative message and instituted this first concept that we ever had of having human rights, of having the equal dignity of each person just because they are human. That is a message that we still carry with us today, the equal dignity and worth of each person, no matter black, white, male, female, born, unborn, child, adult, all of these things. We believe that they have equal dignity and worth. We believe that no child has ever been born in the wrong body, for example. And these are values that can be positive and make a hugely positive impact on those around us. There are great reasons to be upholding this freedom, to be able to share our faith, to be able to share this perspective in society and help shape the laws around us to be the best that they can be for the flourishing of everybody. I've been surprised. I mean, I remember back when I was working at Christian Concern and engaging with churches. And you're kind of thinking, well, surely churches should be engaging in this fight. But it seems as though often, and maybe Americans may think, you've got to stay at church. You're in a wonderful position. Well, it's not necessarily so. And it seems that the church have retreated and left the fight to organizations like ADF. That's your job to speak truth and we'll quietly have a Bible study on a Wednesday evening and that's kind of our job ticked. I mean, how do you see that? Because, really it should be the church that are standing up for rights and freedoms and truth in the world. Yeah. So, the church has a commission, doesn't it, to be sharing the message and making disciples of those who believe. And I don't think that everybody in the church has the same necessarily frontline role in the politics that I do. I think that we all are called to have different parts of the body, but especially when we have state churches. But the church as an institution in society does have freedom to be able to speak into the societal issues of our day and to be sharing a perspective about how lives can be approved for everybody. And I think that church leaders have perhaps lost confidence in their ability to do that, that they do have a voice, that they can speak to politicians, they can speak to newspapers, to society and share their perspective and that it isn't wrong to do so. I wonder if there's been a little bit of a shyness over the last 50 years and speaking externally, but also internally about some issues that can be seen as controversial and maybe not having the language to articulate these things well. It is so important that we do so because we know, we believe the Bible as a church, not just because it's the Bible or because we're told to do so, but because we fundamentally do think it's true. We do think it holds valuable knowledge about how to best support everybody in society, best point them towards the way that they can be flourishing the most. If we truly believe that truth, then it is unfair, unjust and unkind of us to not be sharing that message, to not be speaking out. So, if we take our mission seriously, if we think that this is good for society, then we must be speaking about these issues in compassion and grace and holding out the wisdom that we've been taught. 100% Many of our viewers, not necessarily Christian viewers, may be non-Christian, but I think certainly the response we've got is many people looking for what truth is and looking for certainty in life, especially during the last four years of COVID chaos and trying to find that certainty. I want to talk to you about the the pro-life conversation and the Christian freedom conversation wider. I do need to ask you as a scoff of the the chaos that's north of the border. We've all read about uh it wasn't an April fool's joke it was actually the SNP going fully woke and restricting all conversation. As been reported on a lot, but maybe you want to just mention that, firstly, as an example of this wave against the right to speak what you believe. Sure. Well, like I mentioned earlier, it was 1697 that the last man in Scotland was condemned for blasphemy. He had, Thomas Aitkenhead, a 20-year-old Edinburgh student who had questioned the validity of the miracles of the Bible and made some jokes about Scripture. He was condemned for that, and that was absolutely wrong. That law went defunct for hundreds of years nobody used it in 2021 it was repealed finally, but on the same day that it was repealed a new blasphemy law was put into place. That came into action on the 1st of April this year. That law creates a new offense called stirring up of hate. I certainly don't like to be hated. I don't like anyone else to feel hated either and obviously we've talked about Christianity. Christians should never be called to be stirring up hate in any measure. The problem with this law is that we don't know exactly what kind of language can be seen to come under this. There's no definition of what it means to stir up hate and essentially it's been left wide open to abuse for the government to decide what speech they don't like and to ban that now JK Rowling very famously tested this law right in the morning that it came out. She tweeted, of course, some some fiery tweets about trans activists. She asked the police to come and arrest her if she had done anything wrong. The police investigated these tweets that had been reported as a hate crime. They found that they did not meet the threshold and that is good. It is really good that we've had that benchmark set for feminists that these particular tweets did not meet the threshold. However, we don't actually know, because there is no clear definition if different tweets were worded differently on a different day. And perhaps even might I add, coming from somebody who isn't as famous or on a big platform, or doesn't have the world's attention watching them. We don't know if the police will find a different reason as to prosecuting tweets as hate crimes and we don't know also about other topics that haven't been tested so JK Rowling talked about um trans activists and their link to criminality. We haven't tested this out when it comes to speaking about marriage we know one of the protected categories within law is obviously transgender identity and sexual orientation so we don't know about Christians who might speak out about marriage being between a man and a woman and if in different contexts. That could potentially meet the threshold. There's many Questions about this law that we have not been bottomed out. Police of Scotland had three years to clarify you know to a greater extent what this law was really going to mean for us and really all the best they came up with was a kind of campaign about a hate monster and watching out that the hate monster doesn't doesn't get you doesn't cause you to accidentally commit a hate crime I think it's very disappointing from our establishment that we're in this situation. I do see it as a new form of blasphemy law and that can essentially be used in the future to to criminalize people who are simply expressing their beliefs and it creates it's a culture I think of kind of you can't say that. You know, we'll chill conversations about important societal issues even in the home. This reaches into the family dinner table. Where it still applies, and if kids were to report their parents for their quote-unquote hateful beliefs if that's what they've been taught in school or hateful beliefs, then their parents could be ended up in trouble for what they've said there too. I think it's a very far-reaching law. It is something to be concerned about. And it's frightening that a government are trying to legislate feelings. Maybe the first government in the world to say a certain feeling or a certain emotion is wrong. I guess we'll be told what emotions are right and you must feel those emotions at certain times. And then it falls on the police and in some ways although it's the bobby on the beat that they will have to implement this. They're probably thinking this there are no guidelines this is not explained properly and it it's dangerous. We see it time and time again. Legislation coming in that's worded so badly, so widely, that actually it's up to any individual. And on a Monday someone could be arrested, on a Tuesday they're not and that's frightening. I guess no safeguards and it's so subjective. Yeah, that's right. I mean we've seen this actually with hate speech laws across the world, so we kind of have a flavour of where this is going already. ADF International was supporting a case in Finland and still is a politician a parliamentarian of 20 years and a former Home Secretary, and a grandmother mother. Paivi Razanen, tweeted in 2019, she tweeted a Bible verse and she challenged her church leadership as to whether they should really have sponsored the Pride parade in Helsinki. She felt that that was perhaps an inappropriate thing for a church to be doing. She was charged for hate speech. She was dragged to the court. She's been acquitted twice at the district court and the court of appeal, and her case has been appealed a third time to the Supreme Court in Finland. The charge that she has been, or what she's been charged under carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison. We don't think that she would get the full sentence, but the fact that that hangs in the air is quite phenomenal. We've seen where this lands of grandmothers being dragged through courts for years for tweeting their beliefs. Again, in Mexico we've seen this with politicians out there who we've supported, who were convicted actually of gender gender-based political violence for having expressed their beliefs on biological reality. Their are cases being appealed to the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, but there are two politicians whose careers have been severely jeopardised because they simply tweeted their well-founded beliefs about reality. They spoke the truth. We know where this goes. We know how the story ends. For Scotland and Ireland are now looking at putting in place their own hate speech law as well. It is concerning, but we're going to have to wait and see how this shakes out. Of course, like you say, it comes down often to an individual police decision on the day, and Police Scotland are now a centralised unit. There's no kind of peer review between different forces in Scotland. It really is down to just one hive mind making the decision on what could count as offensive in the future. The police recently in Scotland said that they were no longer going to be investigating over 24,000 crimes including some examples of theft, because they simply don't have the resources, but we're told that they are going to be investigating every single report of hate speech that comes in. And we've had over 4,000 so far. Bear in mind that this law has been enacted for four days. If you can compare the before and after the effect this is going to have on our resources of policing in the country when it comes into looking about who said what on Twitter. It's a phenomenally interesting place for a country to be, but we're going to see how it shakes out in the next few weeks, I imagine. It really is weird whenever politicians are more concerned of hurdy words than rape, because the rape convictions are, what, one and a half percent, I think, is a conviction from an allegation to conviction. And yet, it's falling over themselves to find a word that may cause someone offence somewhere and to go after that. It is unbelievable the waste of finance and police resources of going after something while you've got these massive problems in society and simply turning a blind eye to it. Yeah, no, absolutely. And you're right. Hate isn't a human emotion. It's a motion of the human heart. It'd be as well trying to ban greed or envy or lust. Hamza Yusuf. Justin Trudeau. Simon Harris. All of these guys can try to ban hate, but that's not essentially what it's going to make the difference in society. Do we have societal issues, societal tensions, of course we do, but resolving those conflicts is going to take more conversation not less. Telling people that that their views or that they are bad people for expressing beliefs is not going to be helpful in engaging those societal conversations. If we let bad speech go underground and be hidden, then it festers into even worse speech for the issues that the government is concerned about. Having conversations out in the open is really the best place for a democracy to be. We need to have these types of conversations and the marketplace of ideas will sort itself out. The ideas that need to be fleshed out can be done so with debate and discussion. I think that's the direction the West needs to be headed. It was certainly historically where we seem to be headed for a long time when we've taken this U-turn back to a kind of more authoritarian, censorial approach, which I think is going to not have the desired consequences of our government. I want to move on to life. Lots of conversation, probably in the UK more on what they call assisted dying or assisted suicide, which is assisting someone to end their life, so to murder. We've seen that, especially probably during COVID, it's becoming even a bigger conversation. I see a number of MPs just get rid of the older members of society and that fixes us, the survival of the fittest. It's a frightening. I guess, where the conversation goes when you don't have any Christian ethos or belief of the value of life. But the value of life at the beginning as well; I mentioned to you before we went on we've had uh some great individuals: Scott Klusendorf and Seth Gruber, and Janique Stewart. It's always great to drop this in the conversation, because when you look at the other alternative media, I think this is a topic that people are afraid to go on and choice seems to trump life and the right to the individual. Maybe you want to touch on what the situation is in the U.K for me for U.S audience who aren't sure. What is the life abortion situation in the U.K? Legally speaking our uh our laws in effect allow abortion for any reason up till 24 weeks. Then after 24 weeks there's three reasons why it could go all the way up to birth. One is in cases of disability. For the child, one is if the mother's life is at risk, and one is if there's a risk of serious risk of physical or mental injury to her as a result of the pregnancy. That's as things stand now. We are are a bit of an outlier in Europe. Average kind of benchmark for European abortion caps between 12 and 15 weeks. At 24, we're almost double. We are much, much more liberal in our abortion law than others. But an amendment has been put forward as part of the criminal justice bill in our parliament by a politician who would like to see abortion decriminalised all the way up till birth in the UK for any reason. Whether you count yourself as pro-life, or pro-choice, or pro-abortion or whatever label you hold, this iteration of an abortion law is extremely dangerous and should be opposed. The reason is that it puts women's lives in danger. We have a scheme in the UK called Pills by Post. Since the pandemic and now permanently, a woman can call up an abortion provider, say that she is less than 10 weeks pregnant, and the abortion provider will be able to administer her by the post Misoprostol pills for her to perform her own abortion at home. The danger with this, of course, without saying obvious, is also that a woman can essentially acquire these medicines very easily, even after the 10-week mark all the way up to the 40-week mark. And this has happened in various instances. There was a case over the summer of a lady called Carla Foster who performed an abortion by obtaining pills in this way on, I think it was, between a 33 and 35 week old baby I believe. She had a very traumatic experience performing her own abortion in her bathroom at home and she talked she later named her baby who she had to give birth to of course, after having performed the abortion she named her baby Lily. She talks about the traumatic experience that was. Now, if we we take away laws which prevent women from doing this, because a small number of women have got around the system to do it. If we take away laws that prevent many more women from doing it, we'll have so many more women like Carla who obtain a very dangerous style of abortion at home like this. It would be an absolutely traumatic result for women. So, no matter what your ideological stance on abortion is, this is something to write to your MP and oppose, because no woman should be going through an abortion alone at home. We're told it was meant to be safe, legal and rare. There seems to be none of those things. Now, there's also been another amendment proposed to the same bill that MPs will have to pick between. The second amendment looks at this 24-week mark and says, well, hang on. This means that now that babies are surviving from 22 weeks outside the womb. We now have situations where in the same hospital; there can be a woman having a 23, 24 week baby aborted whilst the same age of baby is fighting for their lives and we're supporting them to survive. How can we just be discriminating against these two children simply because one is wanted and one is not. That doesn't seem just at all. They're taking the very they made the very modest and moderate proposal of simply lowering that limit on abortion from 24 down to 22 in line of the current state of viability in the UK. Now, of course this still makes us very much out of sync with Europe which is 12 to 15 weeks, but it is a step towards a more humane view of life. I think it's something that should be definitely supported by all MPs. Again, it's not even a defining ideological stance. It's not the Only pro-life. People should think this... It is just a reasonable measure to take to ensure that babies of all, at least at the same age, are treated equally. That no baby's life is being ended in the womb that could be surviving on the outside. My hope is that plenty of people in the U.K will see the sense in this, see the justice in this, and write to their MP and encourage them to support the amendment for 22 weeks and opposed the amendment for 40 weeks. Sorry, that was a lot of information in one go, but I hope that it came across okay. No, it did. And the changes in legislation are often incremental that you don't go for it straight away. It is a conversation and slowly you have to move people with you. But it's interesting, the state, the conversation in the legislation, acouple of states on the heartbeat legislation, and that goes around actually what is life? Can we define what life is? And I've been perplexed with conversations with those who are are absolute desperate for abortion. It's actually something that people are really fired up with, certainly in the left. And I remember touching on different issues, and it's fine, you touch on the issue of abortion, how dare you stop a woman taking the life of her child. But that conversation of life, and I don't see that as much in the UK, because the Harvard legislation, what is life? You feel the pulse, actually the heart's beating, and that makes sense. I would go down to conception, but hey, let's have a conversation. But no one seems to understand what life is and that seems to be the crux of the problem, I think. Yeah, and I think ideologically we're always put into this debate mould where we're told that we have to pick between a woman or her baby, you know, it's like pro-woman or pro-baby. Some people say that, you know, we should protect the woman at all costs and therefore if she doesn't want to have a pregnancy in her body at at all, then like it's absolutely her choice and the child gets no rights. There's not many people who go to the full extreme of saying that at any point up to birth, she should be able to make that choice or even after birth. Very few people would go to that extreme. But there are some. And on the other side, we have this kind of polar opposite opinion of only the child's life matters. And the woman doesn't matter at all. And forget about her. We just have to protect this baby's life. I personally never met anyone who said that, but I'm sure that there have been instances where that's come across. And that's obviously not right either. We're kind of locked into this strange polarization where actually very few people think on these extremes. And I think what most of us want to see is an option where we can protect both. Can we find solutions where we can protect both mother and baby? And I think that's what needs to come through far more in this debate into the mainstream and stop feeding this idea that we can now just have to pick a tribe and in fact look to solutions where we can support mothers and support babies far better. I know the U.S have a great network of pregnancy help centres, which I think do a great service to women, because many, you know, in one in five women in the U.K who have had abortions say that they didn't want to, they felt pressured or pushed into it. So, if we had better options of support, and I think we can all work towards situations where we can be doing more to support and encourage women to take the empowered step to choose motherhood, to choose life. In a culture where so often they're told that the only option is abortion and that they have no future apart from that. So, I'd love to see further changes in our culture towards supporting women. And I guess the danger is the organisations that provide abortion make money from it. BPAS are not going to provide a conversation with a mother saying, actually, these are your options. The option for them is one thing because that's their business. We don't seem to have a, mothers don't seem to be able to have a conversation, actually, of the options. And it seems to be if a mother is thinking of ending the life of her child, then she's kind of funnelled into one direction, and that is abortion. I think that probably needs to change. I guess that partially is the role of the church to have that conversation. Yeah, there's a lot more we can be doing for sure. I think we can all agree that women deserve far better than abortion. When we think about it no little girl ever grows up saying I would love to have an abortion when I'm older. It's never an ideal choice so, the fact that we are in a culture where one in three or one in four women are ending up having abortion is a great failure on society. It's a great failure in the rhetoric that, you know, my body my choice is so empowering when in fact it's really allowed men and family members and people that were meant to be rallying around women in crisis pregnancies to say, well, your body, your choice, your problem, I'm out. And the kind of abandoned woman to a responsibility that was always meant to be shared. So, I do think there's a lot more churches and charities and things to be doing, but we also, we do have great charities in the U.K who do volunteer support. Outside abortion facilities and have made a real life difference in the lives of many women who have chosen help and decided that they would like to continue their pregnancies if only they could have support. But unfortunately, we're seeing a clampdown on their work at a governmental level, which I think is the most anti-woman policy that this government has ever proposed. Completely. And you've written to Rishi Sunak. Have you got a reply back to your letter? I did not. You know it's so funny I I wrote that letter it wasn't an ADF initiative I would just write to my MP, but my MP is standing down and I knew that she wouldn't agree with me anyway on this. At the last minute I said, oh I'll write to Rishi, and I put it on on Twitter. So thank you for saying and noticing that, I'm glad I'm glad somebody did. Yes, no. I wrote to Rishi because I think that we've had a quote-unquote conservative government for 14 years in this country. But in the course of those years, we have seen the destruction of the family. We've seen no support for mothers. Our maternity policy, in essence, has really amounted to just cheaper childcare, which, of course, cheaper childcare is fine and good. But many women feel that they would love to be able to invest more in their families, in their children by staying home, by having tax rewards for being able to put those years into early motherhood. Yet we have very little support for the idea of a family other than getting women back into work as soon as possible. We've had an abortion rate that's only growing under the Conservative government. We've had pills by post implemented by this government and now potentially abortion up to birth under the the criminal justice bill amendment. So I think it's an absolute blight on any party that calls themselves conservative, who should be standing up for family, for freedom of speech, for life and for cherishing these values that are so important to so many of us in society. I felt frustrated that that had not been done. And so I wrote a letter. If only in the manifesto, all lives matter and both lives matter were two policies, I think, actually would have a very different society. You know, it's funny, in the Conservative manifesto; I checked in the 2019 manifesto and family is mentioned dozens of times as support for the family as this campaign was promised to us. But I personally have not seen any measures taken to support and uphold families. I've only seen the opposite. So I think that's a real miss by a government who could have done much better. Yeah, if only we could listen to Hungary and have the most family friendly policies in Europe, it could be quite different. I saw you, I think, recently, back in March, you'd been with, I think, Right to Life had been outside Parliament, highlighting what was happening. Just mention that because it's important for the public to come around initiatives and to try and let MPs know that there is vocal support for policies like this. Yeah, absolutely. I really encourage everybody in the U.K to be writing to their MP about this. The group right to life. I think it's https://righttolife.org.uk, have a tool on their website where you can very easily write to your MP. Put in your postcode and they'll let you know who it is and provide you with information that you can send on to your MP. It's very easy, just takes a couple of clicks and, yeah, even if you want to do it in a different matter you just get in touch. I think there's so many, I wasn't really aware until recently about the number of methods we do have available to us to engage in really important decisions that are made in Parliament. Writing to your MP can make a difference if they're on the fence, or at least letting them know that people in their constituency do care about this issue. It's something important to them and they of course are elected to represent you. There's also things like public consultations that frequently come up, and it's always worth just filling out that consultation and making your voice heard and engaging with these tools that we have before us, because other people do. And so if we're not voicing our own opinion in these measures where the government is looking for opinions, we won't be heard. I really encourage everyone to engage with those tools. Completely. And one MP who I saw you retweeted, a former guest of ours, Andrew Bridgen. His tweet was there should not be double standards when it comes to free speech, yet repeatedly we see evidence that Christian expression is harshly censored while the right to voice more fashionable views is protected. This was a sign, someone holding up a sign if you want to talk you can talk, and this I think fits in with the buffer, so do you want to fill the audience in on that? Yeah, of course he was referring to the case of Livia Tossici-Bolt Livia has been volunteering to help women outside an abortion facility for quite a few years now. She's a retired medical scientist, and so she frequently has has held a sign that says here to talk if you want, or she's provided information about a helpline and just giving women that chance to talk over their options to hear about resources available to them, if they want, to consider keeping their child if it's if they're at an abortion, but they're not sure about whether they want to go ahead. It's a chance just to look at other options. I think you know pro-life or pro-choice, especially if you're pro-choice, you should be pro having having these conversations, looking at all the true choices. However, Livia was recently charged and now faces trial because she held this sign near an abortion facility in Bournemouth, where there is a buffer zone, or a censorship zone, as we sometimes like to call them. Placed around the clinic. These buffer zones have been rolled out in five places across England and Wales so far, and under new legislation coming in soon, they will be rolled out across the country, and it makes it a crime to engage in influencing within 150 metres of a clinic. The law, the regulation that Livia was charged under prevents her from agreeing or engaging in disapproval or approval of abortion. So again, it's very, in both instances, it's very vague, ambiguous language and the authorities have deemed in Bournemouth that just by offering to talk. They're here to talk, if you want; that Livia has committed a crime. We're thrilled to be defending or to be supporting Livia's legal defence, because we believe that everybody should have the right to be engaged in these conversations. Nobody should be on trial just for having a belief about abortion or for offering to talk in any circumstance. The UK has public streets. We've always been able to express our views. We have a culture of democracy here and we can't understand why some issues are banned in certain places just because the government might not like what we have to say. So, that's one to watch out for. We're grateful that five politicians last week, as you alluded to, have spoken out for Libya. They've seen what happened in Bournemouth and they're aware that the new legislation coming in will roll this out across the U.K and we could see many more cases like Libya's. We've already seen a few. There was a priest, Father Sean Gough, who was arrested and put on trial, unfortunately vindicated, for holding a sign saying, praying for free speech. There was Isabel von Spruce, of course, most famously, also supported by ADF UK, who was arrested, actually twice, for a viral video for praying silently inside her head. So, this law has a very far-reaching consequence, even into the minds of individuals who are poor life. So something that whatever you think about abortion, we should be concerned about any form of censorship in our country and be able to keep those conversations open. Well, that, I mean, no one would have five years ago have said actually praying silently would be illegal in the UK. But in effect, that buffer zone legislation forced through by my MP, sadly to say, actually is, it means that prayer is now criminalised 150 yards from every abortion centre. That's how it's been acted on by the police. Well, we do have an opportunity to engage here for the better. So, the legislation that has been passed by the government bans influencing, like we talked about, very vague or unclear exactly what this means. Now, because it's so unclear the government are going to provide or the home office are going to provide guidance within the next few weeks to explain to police and prosecutors exactly how they should act outside of buffer zones and we know of course that freedom of thought is protected absolutely in human rights law as incorporated into the U.K law as well. It is wrong that Isabel was arrested for praying inside her head and the government have a chance to clarify here what the line is for being able to at least hold thoughts and conversations in public. Now, let's be clear for a second. We all disagree with harassment or intimidation or violence or anything like that. Nobody should be engaging in harassment of women in any situation. Of course, not here either. So, we're all comfortable with laws, which have already existed for a while, that ban that. But the government must clarify that while this legislation applies to harassment, It must not apply to silent prayer or simply peaceful prayer on the street or conversations like the one that Livia was trying to hold. A consensual conversation between two adults. So, that kindness is going to drop fairly soon. You know, there's still opportunities to engage with that. Again, you write to MP and encourage them to contact the Home Office about this and encourage them to do the right thing and clarify that we need freedom of thought and freedom of conversation. I mean, why not write to the Home Office as well and give your opinion? There is a chance still that we'll be able to preserve this and we'll have something to watch out for in the next few weeks. And just to finish, Lois, let me reiterate your comment about engage with MPs. You mentioned there was five and one of them, the awesome Carla Lockhart, DUP from Northern Ireland. And you realize there are voices, there are MPs who actually do have a belief. They are conviction politicians and they may be fewer of them than there used to be, but actually they are still there. And I think it's vital for us, whether you're watching it as Christians or not, whether you just believe in these fundamental rights that actually do engage with your MP, because you will you will find there are good MPs and you may be blessed by actually having a good MP different to Lois or myself that maybe don't have. Yeah Lois, there is, just want to reiterate that because there are good MPs and they will be fearless on speaking up on these issues. Yeah, yeah, absolutely I mean the the buffer zones debate in parliament before it was passed It was a very fiery debate and we were encouraged, although unfortunately the vote did not go in our favour when it came to the amendment. We were encouraged about the number who did stand up and in fact mentioned Isabel von Spruce by name in their speeches. So, we can see that these stories do have an impact. And hopefully because of the attention that has been shown to Isabel and the unjustifiable arrest that was made for the thoughts that she had inside her head. We hope this information will trickle through to MPs and government officials in places of power and we will be able to protect that freedom to pray silently at least. Lois, thank you so much for your time. It's great to have you on. As I said at the beginning, I followed ADF closely and people can find all the links. If they just go to your Twitter handle, they can find the links for ADF and find the links for your Substack and everything is there and it is in the description. So thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you so much. Thank you for all that you do.

Tonight's discussion promises to be both enlightening and crucially important, as we delve into two pressing topics: Money Laundering and Fraud. . In this week's Monday Night Live Podcast, Derek Arden interviews Paul Coleman, an ACIB compliance expert who recently returned to the UK after working in the Caribbean for a decade, focusing on fraud and money laundering. The discussion promises to shed light on two critical topics: the challenges in combating money laundering and fraud in today's financial landscape. Paul begins by distinguishing between fraud and money laundering, highlighting fraud as a deception for financial gain and money laundering as the concealment of illegally obtained property's origins. He emphasizes that money laundering is intricately linked to various criminal activities, such as fraud, corruption, and trafficking, which poses a complex challenge for law enforcement. The conversation delves into staggering statistics, such as the UK's £1 trillion card spend in 2022, with £556.3 million lost to card fraud and an additional £105 million to authorized push payment fraud. Coleman shares a personal experience of falling victim to such fraud while in Turks and Caicos, emphasizing the sophistication and agility of cybercriminals. Money laundering, estimated to account for 2-5% of global GDP, presents a monumental challenge due to its clandestine nature and intricate web of illicit transactions. Paul explains the role of financial institutions, lawyers, and real estate agents in facilitating or preventing money laundering activities. He highlights the importance of following the money trail and scrutinizing individuals' unexplained wealth and extravagant lifestyles. The conversation shifts to recent controversies surrounding the UK Post Office, with attendees in the chat expressing opinions ranging from incompetence to complicity in fraudulent activities. Coleman underscores the importance of whistleblowing in exposing malpractices, acknowledging the risks whistleblowers face and the need for robust legal protections. Throughout the discussion, Paul and Derek navigate the complexities of financial crime enforcement, from the challenges of investigating and prosecuting offenders to the role of regulatory bodies and the judiciary. They also touch on the ethical implications of overlooking suspicious transactions and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the financial sector. As the podcast nears its end, Paul and Derek invite participants to share their thoughts on the Post Office controversy, fostering an engaging and interactive dialogue on pressing issues of corporate governance and regulatory compliance. In conclusion, this episode offers invaluable insights into the intricate world of financial crime, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced collaboration between regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and the private sector to combat money laundering and fraud effectively. Join Derek Arden and Paul Coleman for a thought-provoking discussion on the frontline of financial integrity and compliance.
Over the last year, we've reported on the (literal) trials of Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen, who was accused of “hate speech” for sharing Bible verses in support of traditional sexuality. Twice already, she has been found “not guilty” by the courts. But as our friends at ADF reported last week, prosecutors are now trying to get that verdict overturned. According to Paul Coleman of ADF International, the attacks on Räsänen have been relentless. “As is so often the case in ‘hate speech' trials,” he said, “the process has become part of the punishment.” Recently, a progressive Christian author argued that since Räsänen is “only” threatened with a fine and not prison, it's not really a big deal. But censorship is a big deal. The loss of freedoms that are good for everyone is a big deal. Christians and others who care about human flourishing and about loving our neighbors should stand against persecution of any degree.
He shares his insights on building a team, an area he's quite familiar with. Even with his experience, he recognizes the challenges that come with it. He particularly notes the importance of improving his ability to delegate tasks efficiently. He also opens up about his personal journey, discussing a pivotal change he made that significantly transformed his life. This shift reignited his clarity, focus, drive, and passion, breathing new life into his business.
It's Monday, January 15th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Finnish Christian parliamentarian found not guilty of hate speech In a win for religious freedom, the Helsinki Court of Appeal found Christian Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola not guilty, reports Alliance Defending Freedom International. The two had been accused of inciting hate-speech after sharing their beliefs on biblical marriage between a man and a woman. Räsänen, who expressed her beliefs on social media, was facing charges under a section in the Finnish criminal code titled “War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.” And Pohjola faced charges for publishing a booklet on biblical marriage, which Räsänen wrote almost 20 years ago. Paul Coleman, Executive Director of Alliance Defending Freedom International, was exuberant. COLEMAN: “This crucial ruling upholds the fundamental right to freedom of speech, making clear that free speech extends to opinions some people might disagree with. This battle has been won, but the war against censorship around the world continues. “In a free society, everyone should be allowed to share their convictions, faith-based or otherwise, without fear of censorship. Criminalizing speech through so-called hate speech laws shuts down public debates and poses a grave threat to our democracies.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Trump reiterates claim that Heartbeat laws are political losers Last Wednesday, when the remaining GOP presidential contenders were debating one another, former president Donald Trump appeared in a Town Hall meeting on Fox News with Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum. Mary Margaret Olohan, a senior reporter for The Daily Signal, asked about his recent statement indicating that a Heartbeat Bill is “terrible,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, one of Trump's rivals for the GOP nomination, signed a Heartbeat Bill into law in April 2023 which protects babies in the womb whose heartbeats can be detected, typically at the sixth week of pregnancy. On NBC's September 17, 2023 edition of Meet the Press, Kristen Welker asked Trump about DeSantis' decision to sign the Florida Heartbeat bill into law. TRUMP: “DeSanctus was willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban.” WELKER: “Would you support that? You think he went too far?” TRUMP: “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake!” With that background in mind, here is Mary Margaret Olohan's question from last Wednesday in Iowa. Listen. OLOHAN: “For me, it all comes down to this question between you, sir, President Trump and Ron DeSantis because you both talk a lot about pro-life, your record. And that's my number one issue and the cry of my heart.” TRUMP: “Good.” OLOHAN: “… is justice for all people. I've been, you know, vocal and celebrating with you all of your pro-life victories from the past. But then, in this campaign, you've also blamed pro-lifers for some of the GOP losses around the country, and you've called Heartbeat Laws, like Iowa's, terrible. And so I'd just like some clarity on this, because it's such an important question to me.” TRUMP: “Okay.” OLOHAN: “I'd like for you to reassure me that you can protect all life, every person's right to life without compromise.” After recounting his success in appointing three Supreme Court Justices – Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett – who helped to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, Trump said this. TRUMP: “I happen to be for the exceptions, like Ronald Reagan, with the life of the mother, rape, incest. … But I will say this, you have to win elections. Otherwise, you're going to be back where you were, and you can't let that ever happen again. You've got to win elections. “Ron DeSantis, his poll numbers have gone down to a level that he's going to be out of the race very soon. I don't know if that were the reason. I hope it wasn't the reason. I hope it's for other reasons. He's doing very, very poorly. It happened to coincide with that – [his signing the Florida Heartbeat bill into law]. Because a lot of people say a lot of you know, if you took five or six weeks, a lot of women don't know if they're pregnant in five or six weeks. I want to get something where people are happy.” Trump has indicated that he likes the idea of a national ban on abortions at 15 weeks, an idea that his former Vice President Mike Pence had proposed. Help pay for legal defense of pro-life rescuers And finally, as The Worldview reported on Friday, 10 faithful pro-life Christians are facing a federal trial, which begins tomorrow, for rescuing pre-born babies from certain death on March 5, 2021 at an abortion mill in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. The trial, which could lead to astronomical fines and up to 11 years in federal prison, will be located at the Federal Court House, 801 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203. If you live in the area, please attend a prayer rally that begins at 7:30am outside the court house. But, no matter where you live, please pray that justice would be done and the peaceful pro-lifers would not be penalized for participating in righteous civil disobedience. Three quick updates to that story. First, listen to the first-hand accounts of some of the pro-life rescuers at the website StifledCry.com. Second, Chet Gallagher, the organizer of the Mt. Juliet, Tennessee 2021 pro-life rescue has a powerful testimony. Back in January 1989, he was a Las Vegas, Nevada policeman. Not only did Gallagher refuse to arrest pro-life rescuers in Las Vegas, but he felt convicted in 1989 to join them, for which he himself was arrested while in uniform. Gallagher was subsequently fired from the Las Vegas Police Department for his pro-life stand. And third, The Personhood Alliance has set up a GiveSendGo donation page to help pay the legal expenses of Paul Vaughn, one of the 10 pro-life rescuers. Vaughn, age 55, is the father of 11 and the president of Personhood Tennessee. His oldest is 27 and his youngest is 18 months. Four of his children are married, and seven of them still live at his home. Vaughn told The Daily Signal, “It is not uncommon for pro-life people to have large families because the very concept of having children is something that we believe is a gift from God and something to be valued and sought after.” Appearing on Fox News, Vaughn described what happened when he was arrested by the FBI agents who were pointing guns at him and using guns to intimidate his children. VAUGHN: “When my kids go out to the car to go to school, and the FBI pulls up, armed, running to the door, and one of them goes to the kids and holds the kids with a long gun at the side of my driveway, and does not let them go into the house, that is absolutely, as my wife said in the video, unacceptable.” In Deuteronomy 30:19, God said, “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.” So far, Christians across America have donated $24,056 toward the $100,000 goal. Please consider making a donation today.

The Catholic Herald Podcast: Merely Catholic with Gavin Ashenden
Paul Coleman, the executive director of ADF International, joins Dr Gavin Ashenden to discuss the appalling treatment by the Finnish state of Päivi Räsänen, an MP, former government minister for the interior and the wife of a Lutheran pastor, for alleged hate crimes after she publicly expressed the teaching of the Bible on human sexuality. In this 63rd episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for The Catholic Herald, they discuss the Räsänen case following her exoneration by the Helsinki Court of Appeal and explore how loosely-worded hate legislation poses mounting threats to such legitimate rights as freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and freedom of religion throughout the Western world.

It feels unfair that Roger Salkeld caught a stray at the end of Ohtani: The New Name For Sturgeon, yesterday's Willets Pod episode with guest Jesse Black. It's not Roger's fault that he was born with the S***eld name. In fact, he's got more claim to S***eld than Rick Springfield, whose name is actually Richard Lewis Springthorpe. What in the name of Hans Sprungfeld is that about, and then he has the nerve to scar an entire generation of Jesses by misspelling our names? Get bent, Dick Lewis Sprungfeld, and also Dick Lewis, dystopian nightmare villain of my childhood dreams thanks to his electronics store commercial.They'll come for you and that whistle, one day, too, P.C. Richard.Where were we? Roger Salkeld. His grandfather, Bill Salkeld, also was a major leaguer, hitting 15 home runs as a 28-year-old rookie with the 1945 Pirates, then never reaching those same heights — he played for the Boston Braves in 1948 and 1949, and one game with the 1950 White Sox. The trade that sent Salkeld to Boston was the November 1947 deal that brought Danny Murtaugh to Pittsburgh.Murtaugh paid instant dividends for the 1948 Pirates, taking the second base job and batting .290 with a career-high 71 RBIs and 10 steals (never mind that he was caught stealing 11 times and his .365 on-base percentage was accompanied by .356 slugging). Murtaugh finished ninth in that year's MVP vote (won by Stan Musial), right between Ralph Kiner and Enos Slaughter ahead of him, and Stan Rojek and Richie Ashburn behind him.Murtaugh played three more years in Pittsburgh, splitting time at second base with Monty Basgall, and then volunteered for a demotion to Double-A New Orleans, where he became player-manager in 1952 and started working his way back to Pittsburgh. Murtaugh got there as a coach a few years later, took over as manager in 1957, and won the World Series in 1960 and 1971.All after being traded for a guy whose grandson who is mostly part of the answer to the trivia question: who were the six guys drafted before Frank Thomas in 1989? It's Salkeld, who was third, along with Ben McDonald, Tyler Houston, Jeff Jackson, Donald Harris, and Paul Coleman.More to come about The Big Hurt on an upcoming episode of Willets Pod, because we need to talk about this fit.

NFL To Require All 32 Teams To Hire Minority Offensive Assistant Coach For 2022 Season https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-nfl-to-require-all-32-teams-to-hire-minority-offensive-assistant-coach-for-2022-season “On Monday, the NFL announced that every team will be required to hire a minority assistant coach on the offensive staff, according to NFL.com. The individual can be a minority or a female, and will be signed to a one-year deal, partially paid from a league-wide fund. “It’s a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions,” said Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II, chairman of the NFL Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee. “We clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinator [job].” Earlier in the day, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin — who hired Flores to his staff during the offseason — expressed doubt that the new measures would have an impact on increasing the number of diversity hires in the NFL coaching ranks. “I haven’t been in any discussions, and, no, I don’t have a level of confidence that would lead me to believe that things are going to be better,” Tomlin said. “I’m more of a show-me guy as opposed to a guy that sits around and talks about things.” Also on Monday, the league announced the creation of the NFL Diversity Advisory Committee. “Today, the National Football League (NFL) announced the creation of the NFL Diversity Advisory Committee, following its pledge last month to retain outside experts to review the league’s diversity policies and practices,” the NFL said in a press release. “The six-member committee will lend its expert, external perspective on industry best practices and will evaluate league and club diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies and initiatives, including all hiring processes, policies and procedures, with a primary focus on senior-level coach and front office personnel positions.” Let me just say this. All this diversity and inclusion stuff has not solved any of the problems that they originally set out to solve. Also, how insulting and belittling is this forced hire. How do they know they got the job based on their abilities and not based on the color of their skin. Judgment in Finnish MP’s Bible-tweet trial expected on 30th March https://adfinternational.org/aviso-judgment-in-finnish-mps-bible-tweet-trial-expected-on-30th-march/ According to ADF International: “A Finnish court is expected to rule on the Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola’s free speech case on 30th March. Both stand accused of having engaged in “hate speech” for publicly sharing their faith-based beliefs. The former Minister of the Interior had voiced her convictions on marriage and sexual ethics, in a 2019 tweet, a 2019 radio debate, and a 2004 pamphlet. The bishop faces charges for publishing Räsänen’s pamphlet. Their case garnered global media attention this year, as human rights experts voiced concern over the threat this case poses to free speech in Finland. “In a free society, everyone should be allowed to share their beliefs without fear of censorship. This is the foundation of every free and democratic society. We hope the Helsinki District Court will uphold this fundamental freedom when it rules on this case. Criminalizing speech through so-called ‘hate-speech’ laws shuts down important public debates and poses a grave threat to our democracies,” said Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International and author of ‘Censored: How European Hate Speech Laws are Threatening Freedom of Speech’. In the last two years, Räsänen attended several lengthy police interrogations about her Christian beliefs – including being frequently asked by the police to explain her understanding of the Bible. In April 2021, Finland’s Prosecutor General had brought three criminal charges against Räsänen. Two of the three charges Räsänen faced had come after the police made strong recommendations not to continue the prosecution. Räsänen’s statements also did not violate the policies of Twitter or the national broadcaster, which is why they remained freely available on their platforms. ADF International will host a press conference after the verdict is announced on 30th March at 16:00 CEST. Dr. Päivi Räsänen, MP, Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, and Lorcán Price, Legal Counsel for ADF International will be available for questions after their statements.

Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/washington-state-plans-ban-non-electric-vehicles-2030-rcna21683 File this article under, please liberals do more of this. According to NBC News: “Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030, according to a newly signed bill by Gov. Jay Inslee. The bill says that all vehicles of the model year 2030 or later that are sold, purchased, or registered in the state must be electric. The bill covers a lot of transportation issues in the state and is a part of a larger $16.9 billion transportation package called “Move Ahead Washington," which Inslee described as a way to create more efficient transportation options. "Transportation is our state’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. There is no way to talk about climate change without talking about transportation," Inslee said. "This package will move us away from the transportation system our grandparents imagined and towards the transportation system our grandchildren dream of." Also included in the transportation package is funding for four new hybrid-electric ferries, thousands of electric vehicle charging stations, 25 transit electrification projects across the state, as well as free fares for riders 18 and younger on public transportation systems, according to a Medium post the governor wrote on Friday.” As Garrison reported on yesterday, the Don’t Say Gay Bill Drama Continues… Roll Clip: https://www.dailywire.com/news/gay-florida-kindergarten-teacher-worries-on-msnbc-he-wont-be-able-to-share-his-love-life-with-kids-anymore A couple things here.

Spencer Cox's veto of a bill barring male-born athletes from girls' scholastic sports, becoming the 12th state to pass legislation to address rising concerns over transgender competitors in female athletics. The Senate voted 21-8 and the House voted 56-18 to override the governor's veto, clearing the required threshold of a two-thirds majority in both chambers in what was a widely anticipated outcome. The bill sponsored by Republican state Rep. Kera Birkeland requires public schools and private schools that compete against public schools to designate sports as male, female or co-ed. Male-born students are banned from competing on girls' teams.” “The Democrat opposition to the bill, as cited in the Washington Times, shows how far detached from reality the left is: Democratic state Rep. Brian King argued that "things are simply not black and white in terms of gender orientation, sexual orientation, gender identification." "It's simply not accurate to say that girls are girls and boys are boys, and never the two shall meet," he said. "There is in fact a lot that is unknown."

Welcome back to the UserFlows Podcast, my name is Thomas Morrell and this is a show where we talk about UX design and careers. I interview designers about their journey into the field and break down how they've been successful in their roles so we all can learn together. Today I'm joined by Jeffrey Paul Coleman, a UX Community Builder. Jeffrey is working to make tech more inclusive by supporting the growth of the UX Research community in Europe (via UXinsight) and advocating for recent grads, immigrants, and career changers via the online boot camp CareerFoundry. He is also working on a small Training Program in NYC called DesignWorks. Whew! that sounds like a lot, but Jeffrey breaks down how he handles all this in roughly a 30-hour workweek. Jeffrey is predominately focusing on empowering others (mostly in UX) to navigate tricky moments in their career because he believes if we each receive the support we need (even when we are further along professionally), then we can focus on what counts. Growing as people within existing and new communities can lead to a more equitable work environment for all.Show HighlightsTalking to more people [13:30 - 14:28]UX Career Possibilities [22:00 - 26:15]What does a UX community builder do?

This week's episode is about banning unhealthy and making healthy foods more accessible to everyone for a generally healthier society. Guest on the show is Dr. Paul Coleman, a Public Health Registrar and Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, UK. Together with Dr. Hanson, Paul recently published a review on academic research, which looked into the connections between obesity and advertising of unhealthy fast food products. The findings of the review led the network to recommend to the UK Government Consultation a total ban of such product advertisements on television. With their important work, Paul and his colleagues challenge the UK government and big cooperations. Big food companies are challenged for advertising unhealthy foods specifically to our children. Paul's work is a big step towards health education for all ages and something we will discuss in detail. We will also address the role of COVID with regard to overall health and obesity as well as the connections of our daily food to environmental degradation and climate change. ✨✨Free download✨✨ Get your free download on “4 Things You Need To Know Before You Start”.

Today’s Holy Smoke podcast is about the increasingly brutal bullying and silencing of people – especially Christians – who hold the ‘wrong’ opinions on controversial topics. A culture of censorship is becoming ever more deeply embedded in public institutions not just in Britain but also throughout Europe. There is a direct link between Europe's increasingly fanatical attempts to police public opinion and the former Soviet bloc. My guest Paul Coleman, executive director of free-speech legal advocates ADF International, explains that when Moscow and its satellites were involved in drawing up international human rights legislation after the Second World War, they insisted that it should include the criminalisation of speech. One wonders whether Boris Johnson and his ministers are aware of this and, if so, whether they care. As Coleman points out, although European bodies are hunting down heretics with predictable relish, the behaviour of the heavily politicised police forces of post-Brexit Britain is in some respects even worse.

Paul Coleman, author of Censored, talks to Brendan O’Neill about origins of Europe’s hate-speech laws and how everything from mainstream opinions to religious beliefs can now be criminalised.Spare a fiver to support spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/donate-to-spiked/
Free speech is increasingly under attack on college campuses -- but if you think it’s bad here, look across the pond to Europe. Authorities over there are increasingly cracking down on so-called “hate speech” -- a label that’s been applied to speech critical of Islam, homosexuality, and more. Paul Coleman, a British attorney who’s had a front row seat to this concerning trend, explains the origin of these hate speech laws and give his assessment about the future of free speech. We also cover these stories:•President Donald Trump says Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should not be allowed to visit Israel. •Hundreds of Chinese paramilitary forces gathered for drills in Shenzhen on Thursday, just across the border from Hong Kong. •Reports about the autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein find a curious fact about the condition of his body.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Recent statistics revealed that thousands of people across the United Kingdom still watch TV programs in black and white. According to an agency called TV Licensing in the United Kingdom, over 7,000 households still use monochrome TVs even after the advent of color TVs. An agency spokesperson even said that this figure is remarkable especially in the digital age when the majority of TVs are already connected to the Internet. The primary reason cited for choosing black-and-white TVs over color TVs was the huge difference in the TV license cost. In the United Kingdom, all TV owners must get a license to watch, record, or download TV programs. Color TV owners need to pay £150.50 to get a license, while monochrome TV owners only pay £50.50 annually. The license fee helps fund the programs and services of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), a public broadcasting company. A portion is also allocated for broadband services and local TV channels. Even though there are people who still watch in black and white, their number has been steadily dropping. From more than 200,000 UK residents in 2000, the figure plunged below 10,000 in 2015. Paul Coleman, an associate curator from the National Science and Media Museum, predicted that the number of monochrome TV owners would drastically drop below 1,000 within the next 10 years. However, Iain Logie Baird /beɚd/, grandson of TV inventor John Logie Baird, believes that people will still hold on to their black-and-white TVs for sentimental reasons, treasuring the old items as reminders of the past.

This is the TV podcast where people in the TV industry pick their favourite TV hosted by Luke from www.thecustardtv.com In the first of what I hope will be a long-running series I'm joined by co-creator of BBC1's massive comedy Car Share Paul Coleman. Paul was looking to create a sitcom in a cheap location to appeal to broadcasters. He'd seen Roger & Val had just got in on BBC Two had thought that the idea of two people in one set was a brilliant, cheap and efficient way of making a sitcom. He got together with co-writer Tim Reid and the pair happened upon the idea of two people in a car travelling two and from work. Paul took his rough script to childhood friend Peter Kay for him to look over before they sent it off to the BBC. Kay was so impressed he wanted to join the project and the rest is history! In this podcast he chats about getting Car Share off the ground and picks his favourite shows of all time!
An interview with Paul Coleman, also known as the Earth Walker. Paul's extraordinary life has taken him from Manchester to his current eco-home in Patagonia passing through 39 nations along the way. He has walked much of the Earth and written fairytales to promote peace, the beauty of nature and environmental sustainability. In this interview he talks of his early life and career in the merchant navy, his powerful vision in Iceland which inspired him on a path to spread his message of conservation, his adventures rafting down the Amazon river, his first great walk from Canada to Rio to attend the 1992 Earth Summit, how he came to walk and plant trees all over the world and in particular he takes us deep into the heart of Sarajevo at the height of the war in 1995. Finally he describes how he met his beloved wife Konomi and explains how and why they built their eco-home in the mountains of Patagonia where they live to this day. This is an inspiring story for anyone who has a dream of living more sustainably in harmony with the planet, an example of what can be achieved when one commits to a path motivated by a higher purpose.Paul Coleman Biography (from Linkedin)Paul Coleman,was born in Manchester, at a time when it's industry was in a state of decay and the city was suffering through a century of pollution with a ship canal so polluted that merely to fall in it meant a visit to the hospital. This rather unnatural environment led him to dream of visting the places he read of in books. Places like the Amazon, for example, where he would picture himself leading expeditions, wading through Piranha infested waters and meeting up with the Indians in the forest. These dreams led him to a life time of travel, first in the Merchant Navy, then as a Chauffeur to a friend of the British Royal Family and finally as an Earthwalker, planting trees and spreading the environmental messages as he walked almost fifty thousand kilometers through 39 nations inspiring people wherever he went. Now he lives with his wife Konomi near the village of La Junta in Patagonian Chile, where they are creating a sustainable lifestyle . They have built their home, with their own hands, using ancient technologies and modern ideas to have minimum impact on the natural environment and utilizing the natural resources available from their land and the immediate vicinity, on a small piece of hillside pasture that had previously been eroded by cattle and sheep to the extent that it looked like a pool table. This pool table of land gave them a blank canvas to work with and they have planted more than 1300 indigenous trees and fruit trees to bring it back to its former glory, while at the same time to providing them with a food forest to compliment the terrace gardens that they have made. Their drinking water comes from a nearby steam, which runs dry for at least five months of the year. In order to feed the gardens during this time they catch rain from their house, guest cabin, greenhouses and hillside slopes, channeling the water into the nineteen ponds they have created. Their work and farm is known throughout the region and they often receive visitors from the government and organisations interested in sustainability and the alternative methods of farming that the couple have used to grow crops not previously grown in the region.Footnote: Paul did end up leading an expedition, wading through Piranha infested waters and meeting up with the Indians!Paul Coleman Links: Connect With The Earth Walker!https://www.facebook.com/earthwalkerpchttps://earthwalker.com/CreditsInterview recorded 20th May 2018 in Cheshire and Patagonia via Zoom CallInterviewer, Host and Show Creator: Alan BurtonThis and all other episodes of the Truth Health Freedom Podcast are also available at itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/truth-health-freedom-podcast/id1369946890?mt=2 and youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrq99mkXID-1ELpu0VMmk5g/videosThe podcast can be followed at www.facebook.com/thfpodcast and www.twitter.com/truthpodcast
Earth Walker Paul Coleman takes us on a quixotic life journey planting trees all over the planet to address one of the most pressing problems of our age: what difference can we make in the midst of environmental catastrophe? His astonishing walk around the world truly matters. With no means of support, no sponsors at the beginning, and nothing but a fairy tale dream, inspired by Iceland, he shows you what one person can do who believes the vision. With unrelenting humour he shares the life that began as a Rolls Royce chauffeur to Royals, with all of the wealth and connections such a life bestows, and then completely shifted to that of a pilgrim wanderer on a quest to plant one tree for every person who died in the great wars of the twentieth century. He has accomplished at least ten percent of the 100 million trees target through sheer power of imagination and commitment. Now 63 he lives with his wife in a place he chose so she could be safe and happy, in a house they built themselves in Patagonia. After hearing him you may no longer be able to put off that dream that we all must surely harbour in our souls. A magus of dreaming!

Sølvskatten er verdens tredje største vikingskatt. Funnet på et jorde 10-15 norske mil nordøst for London. Skatten består av to ulike mynttyper. Den minste delen er fra kong Æthelreds tid, den største delen er fra tiden som fulgte like etter, da den danske kong Knut regjerte i både England, Danmark og Norge. Dr Gareth Williams, kurator ved British Museum og ekspert på anglo-saksiske mynter fortelelr i MUSEUM om hva de 5248 sølvmyntene kan fortelle om vikingetidens England. – Mest sannsynlig er skatten gravd ned i siste del av Kong Knut den mektiges regjeringstid, det vil si rundt år 1035, sier Williams. Siden samtlige mynter er slått i England, er en mulig teori at skatten kan ha tilhørt en handelsmann i midt-England som solgte korn og ull til vikingskipene som kom inn fra Norge og Danmark til havnebyene mellom Norfolk og York på den engelske nordsjøkysten. I MUSEUM er vi ofgså med på en "fundraiser" i residensen til Den norske ambassaden i London. Der møter vi Paul Coleman, metalldetektoristen som fant skatten den 21.desember 2014 og som nå kan se fram til å dele en sum som tilsvarer 15 millioner norske kroner med grunneieren.
