A local politician named King Lawal has been suspended by Britain’s “Conservative” (Tory) Party for criticizing gay pride, writing on social media: “When did Pride become a thing to celebrate. Because of Pride Satan fell as an arch Angel [sic]. Pride is not a virtue but a Sin.”
Lawal, who serves on North Northamptonshire Council in the middle of England, added: “Those who have Pride should Repent of their sins and return to Jesus Christ. He can save you.”
In addition to being suspended by the so-called “Conservatives” for these comments, he was forced to resign from his job, ousted from a state school council, ousted as trustee of a children’s charity, and barred from meeting his electors at a local library.
He said it was “now almost impossible to say something Biblically truthful on sexual ethics in UK society without being canceled and having your life ruined.”
Meanwhile, local Conservative leader Councillor Jason Smithers insisted he heads an “inclusive” group, committed to “creating a fair and inclusive environment for everyone” – although apparently not Christians.
Former president Donald Trump observed recently that the UK Conservative Party had “gone far left”.
