"The END Of Democracy?!" | Ex-MEP Ben Habib Praises JD Vance Jab At Britain Over Free Speech

The US vice-president has criticised the UK over a legal case in which a former serviceman who silently prayed outside an abortion clinic was convicted of breaching the safe zone around the centre. In a wider attack on what he suggested is a shift away from democratic values across Europe, JD Vance claimed the “basic liberties of religious Britons, in particular” are under threat. He referred to the conviction of Adam Smith-Connor, 51, who had denied doing so but was found guilty last year of failing to comply with a public space protection order at the centre in Bournemouth in November 2022. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Mr Vance that the US’ “very dear friends the United Kingdom” appeared to have seen a “backslide in conscience rights.” Former MEP Ben Habib says Vice President Vance was right to hit out at the UK & Europe over free speech. "If you're not allowed to offend each other through the declaration of your views, however awful they might be, that's the end of democracy."
