Activists are trying to stop a former BBC journalist from standing as a candidate for the Liberal Democrats at the next general election – simply because he is a Christian.
David Campanale, 58, left his job at the BBC World Service to enter politics, and says he has been called a ‘Christian nutter’ for wanting to vote with his conscience on abortion.
He said he has been ‘humiliated, ostracised and punished’ by party members who are trying to hound him out.
He believes the party has fallen foul to a US-style cancel culture being led by activists who are trying to secularise the Liberal Democrats.
