Things are going very well for us in the United States in the new Trump administration. Pro-lifers are getting pardoned, government spending is being cut, the border is being secured. But what about in other countries that are ruled by the secular left? Are they like us, or are they different? I have a couple of stories in this post that will make you never want to set foot in the UK.

First story is new, and it’s from Daily Signal (my favorite news web site):

Police in Scotland arrested a 74-year-old grandmother for silently offering to speak to women outside an abortion facility, if they wished.

Rose Docherty stood outside the abortion wing of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow holding a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Two police officers insisted she desist, handcuffed the elderly woman, and charged her with violating the abortion facility’s “buffer zone” barring free speech within a wide radius of any abortion facility.

The pensioner’s arrest last week is the first made under Scotland’s Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act. Those convicted face a fine of 10,000 pounds (approximately $12,600 U.S.) or an unlimited financial penalty if their expression is deemed serious.

The member of Scottish Parliament who wrote her own nation’s law, Gillian Mackay of the far-left Scottish Greens, denounced any and all peaceful pro-life advocacy outside abortion facilities as “utterly shameful and I am grateful to Police Scotland for acting so quickly.”

Here’s a photo of Gillian Mackay, so you know what secular left fascists look like:

And by the way, this bill was not passed by a narrow margin. It was passed 118 votes to 1. So that should tell you something about free speech in the UK.

More:

Docherty’s arrest mirrors an English city’s charges last year’s against Livia Tossici-Bolt, 63, who held a sign outside an abortion facility in Bournemouth, England. Her sign read, “Here to talk, if you want.”

[…]“For several years now, I have been offering a helping hand to women who would like to consider other options to abortion, and pointing them to options where they can receive financial and practical support, if that’s what they would like,” said Tossici-Bolt. “There’s nothing wrong with offering help. There’s nothing wrong with two adults engaging in a consensual conversation on the street. I shouldn’t be treated like a criminal just for this.”

She would be fine in America, but not in the UK.

Here’s another article from Fox News that I saw that is from August 9, 2024, but I never blogged on it, because I somehow missed it.

It says:

London’s Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.

“We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.

So, the UK is not a very wealthy country. They have a health system that is bankrupt, and performing so poorly that the government actually pays hospitals to kill patients. So, it’s very funny to listen to this man threatening American citizens with deportation.

It’s not like the UK is doing a good job of enforcing the law against their many, many, many, many child sex-trafficking gangs. And that might be because certain people high up in the police are partakers in the child prostitution activities, and they want it covered up. Maybe they think that child sex-trafficking is OK for some cultures, and that it’s wrong to criticize it. They don’t arrest the child sex-traffickers very quickly in the UK. Complaints from the parents just get ignored and covered up by high-ranking policemen. So what do the high-ranking policemen focus on instead of child sex-trafficking? They’re more likely to arrest people who complain about children being sex-trafficked. That’s the big concern of police in the UK.

And remember, the UK does not want any inquiries about their child sex-trafficking:

British lawmakers voted against launching a national inquiry into the U.K. grooming gang scandal on Wednesday, after objections to the way the vote was being put forward – and amid international scrutiny of the crisis spearheaded by Elon Musk.

The House of Commons voted on an amendment to hold a statutory inquiry into the scandal – where it was revealed that men of predominantly Pakistani heritage had sexually abused girls for years in towns in northern England.

Again, not a country that Americans need to be visiting. Not a safe country. Not a country that respects basic human rights. Get out of there if you can, and never travel there. They are in decline.
