4. Meanwhile, US anti-abortion groups have been infiltrating Britain

This angers me so much. USA spreading christian hate to the UK. Nigel Farage of the Reform party (trump wannabe) is trying to drum up support to restrict abortion too. Jd vance butting in too.

Over half of speakers on London’s March for Life’s programme have links with US Christian right group Alliance Defending Freedom.

ADF has poured money into the UK over recent years, spending over £1m in 2024. According to Democracy for Sale, some of its funding comes from US conservatives such as Charles Koch and the Morgan Stanley Foundation.

The group has also been at the forefront of attacks on buffer zones, representing activists in the US, the UK and Europe who have breached laws protecting women seeking abortion healthcare from harassment.

The issue has become a flashpoint in relations between the US and the UK, with US Vice-President JD Vance arguing that buffer zones represent a “backslide” in British citizens’ fundamental liberties. He has also been accused of spreading misinformation which suggested the Scottish government had warned residents within buffer zones that “even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law”.
