UK DYSTOPIA: Pro-Life Activist Convicted for Standing Outside Abortion Clinic – Case Criticized by VP Vance and US State Department – May Have ‘Diplomatic Implications’

Under unpopular Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the United Kingdom continues to devolve into a censorship state devoted to the Globalist agenda.

The examples abound, but this week, a court decision put the issue of the transatlantic relationship with Donald J. Trump’s United States in the spotlight.

A pro-life activist was found guilty on Friday (4) of breaching an order banning protests outside an abortion clinic in southern England.

Reuters reported:

“Livia Tossici-Bolt, 64, the leader of a branch of U.S. Christian group ’40 Days for Life’, was prosecuted for breaching a “safe zone” in the immediate area around the abortion clinic in the southern town of Bournemouth on two days in March 2023. She was holding a sign that read “Here to talk, if you want”.

The case comes amid growing accusations in the U.S. of infringements on free speech in Britain. U.S. Vice-President JD Vance confronted Prime Minister Keir Starmer face to face at the White House on the issue, and said in February he feared free speech in Britain was ‘in retreat’.”

US Vice President JD Vance has alerted that free speech in Britain was ‘in retreat’, and famously confronted Starmer at the White House on the issue.

The U.S. State Department’s DRL (Democracy, Human Rights, & Labor) department weighed on the UK court’s decision, taking the case to the UK headlines, with analysts fearing ‘it could have diplomatic implications’ on the ongoing trade deal negotiations.

We are disappointed with the UK court’s conviction of Livia Tossici-Bolt for violating a designated “buffer zone” at an abortion clinic. Freedom of expression must be protected for all. https://t.co/hY012sYVji

Utterly appalling. A UK judge has convicted British retiree Livia Tossici-Bolt, ordering her to pay £20,000 for holding this sign in a public place.

“Tossici-Bolt was taken to court after refusing to pay a fixed fine for breaching an order that has banned protests in an area around the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) clinic since 2022 over concerns that women who attended were being subjected to harassment and intimidation.

Following a trial last month, Judge Orla Austin convicted Tossici-Bolt at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Friday of breaching the order, saying the activist was not lawfully exercising her right to freedom of expression.

Tossici-Bolt was given a conditional discharge, meaning she must not commit further offences for two years, and was ordered to pay 20,000 pounds ($26,028) in legal costs.”
