US-style Christian fundamentalism on the move in UK

Ingodsname_2 From British blogger Sunny Hundal's frontpage contribution on Talk To Action:

Christian fundamentalism has well and truly arrived in the UK. And it is rapidly reaching the upper echelons of the Conservative party.
.....
The human fertilisation and embryology controversy and the argument over hybrid embryos, abortion and gay rights is merely the start of a larger cultural battle that they will want to wage across Britain for years to come.
.....
[T]he first tactic of fundamentalists is to deny their links to each other until they're confident that coming out more openly won't jeopardise their agenda.

Hundal's diary is in part a response to the Channel 4 documentary of the current Dispatches series, "In God's Name."

TMurray on Talk To Action also provides an update on Conservatives' attempt, funded and coached by the D.C.-based Alliance Defense Fund, to proposed a bill in Parliament intended to restrict abortion.

(The documentary "In God's Name," is available in its entirety on the sanctioned torrenting site--a "P2P," meaning "peer-to-peer," file-sharing website for large files--for UK-produced programs, UKNova.com. Search for "Dispatches: In God's Name." UKNova is available for a limited number of members, but memberships expire frequently--probably several a day--as users fail to maintain activity on the site. So, if you can't successfully register at first, keep trying periodically; a new membership slot will open up eventually. Programming on UKNova is available for only a limited time, and no programs are allowed to be shared that are commercially available; so if you'd like to see the documentary, don't dally!)
