Member of the British House of Lords and Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) CEO Baroness Philippa Stroud praised Vice President JD Vance for his recent criticism of European countries for suppressing some of their citizens' rights and freedoms.

Stroud, whose work is dedicated to revitalizing western society’s relationship with the foundational principles of freedom of expression and prosperity, agreed that Vance "was right" to warn European leaders of the dangers of abandoning those principles.

"And I do think that JD was right. We actually have to face up to – is there anything that we want to be defending? We have to ask that question: what is it that we’re defending in the west? If we do not have the foundational principles of our civilization, if we don’t value them, what are we actually defending?," she said.

Good for her. But how long before Stroud is arrested by the UK police for spreading disinformation?

Or maybe they’ll nab her for causing “alarm and distress”.

One of the best outcomes of peace in the Middle East is all the “migrants” and refugees can be returned home.

Nice to see support from Baroness Stroud, but the article title is problematic. I suppose that a House of Lords “think tank”-type lady is a “UK leader” in a very general sense, but someone reading only the headline could be forgiven thinking that Vance received support from Keir Starmer or one of his top deputies (which, of course, he didn’t).

Yes. I think you are correct. I could have (and should have) added "Baroness Stroud" in parentheses to the end of the title.

Sorry about that.

I suggest Europe learn to defend themselves and fight their own wars.
