According to  PinkNews , Nigel Farage , head of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) , also said his party would remove the legal status of Christian weddings, requiring believers to attend both a religious and civil ceremony. UKIP leader Nigel Farage But in a statement posted to  UKIP’s website  Wednesday, Farage denies making the remarks. “The statement attributed to me yesterday was not made by me and not approved by me.

LONDON , March 5, 2014  – One of the UK Conservative Party ’s biggest donors is reportedly pulling his funding after the party created “gay marriage” last year. The billionaire banker, philanthropist and arts patron Michael Hintze is “fed up” with the liberal leanings of the current Tory leadership, reports the  Daily Mail . Hintze, a Catholic who has helped the Vatican restore valuable art works by Michelangelo, has donated at least £1.2 million to the Conservative Party and given loans of at least £2.5 million more since 2005, according to estimates by the  Daily Mail . The paper reports that Hintze is calling in the loans and has thrown his support into UKIP, “just as the party needs a fortune to pay for next year’s General Election.” The report did not specify that Hintze would be switching his financial attention to another party. Shakespeare quotes “a Tory insider” who said, “Michael is fed up with David Cameron and [Chancellor] George Osborne and doesn’t see why he s

A bill to legalise  gay marriage in Britain  has passed the country's parliament and will now go the country's upper house, the  House of Lords , for consideration. MPs voted 366 to 161 in favour of the bill. The vote followed a marathon debate on Monday in which  Mr Cameron  was forced to make a deal with the opposition  Labour party  to defeat a bid by his own Conservative MPs to scupper the bill. Cameron has effectively divided his own party and for what benefit: immorality! Right-wing Tories had proposed an amendment to allow heterosexual couples to form civil partnerships - a move that was condemned by Mr Cameron's office as a "wrecking amendment" that would have delayed the introduction of the new law. Although the motion was easily defeated with Labour's help, the depth of the  Conservatives'  divisions were made clear when 121  Tory MPs  backed a separate plan to allow officials to opt out of carrying out gay marriage. It too was defeate

 In Britain , local council elections are seen as a window into the political future, and last week’s surge by Nigel Farage ’s United Kingdom Independence Party has the ruling Conservative Party deeply worried.  UKIP has been attracting former Tories - both voters and MPs - disillusioned with Prime Minister David Cameron ’s “modernizing” efforts that have included a bill for “gay marriage” and broken promises on a European referendum.  Nigel Farage Nigel Farage is said to be “jubilant” after Friday’s poll results that saw UKIP electing 147 councillors, of whom 139 were gains. He called it a sign of a “sea change” in British politics and declared that UKIP is now the “official opposition.” This was literally true in Lincolnshire, where UKIP totally replaced the Conservatives in 16 seats. By comparison, Labour, the official Official Opposition party, said it was doing “reasonably” having won 35 local seats. Despite Tory accusations that UKIP is nothing more than a reacti

WESTMINSTER, February 5, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – At about 7 pm. London time tonight, 400 Members of Parliament voted in favor of a law re-defining marriage in Britain, with 175 MPs voting ‘no.’ The bill now goes to committee for further scrutiny. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children , one of the leaders in the fight to defend marriage,  that the fight is not over, and that those involved in the fight for marriage are continuing to rally support at the grassroots.  SPUC commended the pro-family MPs who opposed the bill, who came largely from the government’s own backbench MPs. In today’s 6-hour debate, Tory MP Roger Gale summed up the position of those opposed to the change, saying it had nothing to do with “equality” but with the objective reality of marriage. “It is not possible to redefine marriage,” Gale said. “Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for

There just had to be a European angle.” Farage described an unexpected meeting in Brussels with leading UK
