The U.K. is at it again, blocking a Finnish parliamentarian, Päivi Räsänen. from entering the United Kingdom based on a “hate speech” conviction hung on her for quoting the Bible and defending Scripture, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner.
According to LifeSite News:
Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen was once again blocked from entering the United Kingdom due to her “hate speech” conviction for defending Scripture, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner. Räsänen is a member of Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group.
URGENT: My friend Päivi Räsänen—a doctor, grandmother, member of Finnish parliament, and devout Christian—was invited to speak at a religious liberty conference this week in Northern Ireland.

The UK will not let her enter the country.
This is due to her recent “hate speech”… pic.twitter.com/rLIHh3oO4p
Ironically, Räsänen is apparently a member of the Finnish Parliament’s “Friends of the United Kingdom” group. With friends like today’s U.K., who needs enemies?
This is the second time in as many months that Räsänen has been denied entry to the U.K. Last month, Räsänen — a doctor, grandmother, member of Finnish parliament, and devout Christian– was informed that she could not travel through London’s Heathrow Airport after speaking at an ADF conference.
I will leave it up to you to decide which one of those attributes U.K. authorities were uncomfortable with.
Räsänen was recently invited to speak at a religious liberty conference in Northern Ireland, but the U.K. refused to let her enter the country, due to her “hate speech” conviction for authoring a church pamphlet on Biblical marriage back in 2004.
But, Quran O.K. “Allahu Akhbar” no problem. Translation: Oppressing women and murdering infidels such as gays and lesbians is fine, but quoting a Bible passage or two suggesting that same sex encounters may be sinful is right out. Better to just throw gays and lesbians off rooftops or stone them to death. (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity baby! DIE!) Seems like quite a bit of toxic masculinity for such a weak tit country, doesn’t it?
The U.K., once the greatest military power on Earth, can no longer effectively defend itself. And it will not defend its young lasses from Muslim rape gangs.
I bet those two things are related.
Christendom, as evidenced by the U.K.’s abject surrender, is not long for this world, praise be to Allah.
No wonder the most popular name for a baby boy in the U.K. in 2025 was Muhammad.
