No it is not at odds, it is a ban on funding, not speech, it is not banning free speech, nothing of the sort, those organisations can freely discuss abortion but they will not get any funding from government sources, if they choose to counsel/advise on abortion.

You work or worked for ntl/Virgin Media, you had to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement as part of your terms of employment, what's the difference here ?

Trump is not first President to issue gags.... I guess Obama was being totalitarian to ALL Americans it would seem....

Obama Firearm gag: http://www.truthandaction.org/obama-...elated-speech/

Obama Stimulus Gag: http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/24/fl...mulus-package/

But again, I guess because it's Trump, he must be extra bad he is issuing gag orders?

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Quote:
John Bercow faces a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons after a Conservative MP tabled a motion in response to the Speaker's comments on Donald Trump.

Mr Bercow said the US President should not be allowed to address Parliament when he visits the UK for a state visit later this year.

James Duddridge, MP for Rochford and Southend East, described Mr Bercow's comments, which called out the billionaire businessman's "racism" and "sexism", as "wholly inappropriate".

Mr Duddridge tabled the motion after earlier writing to Theresa May to ask for the Commons to be given a free vote in the event of a vote of no confidence in the Speaker.

Now that I recall, I don't remember ever having to sign one either to be honest.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Only a big deal for the bitter Dems.

On a scale of stuff that matters, really, it's a 0.3 out of 10.

This might cheer them up, the prospect of her winning cheers me up at any rate and I'm not even down

NDAs are normally signed by third parties eg if a third paty is working for a company and needs access to internal information from that company.
A direct employee's contract of employment usually covers the non-disclosure of confidential information.

I'm happy to criticise gagging efforts by any President. Are you?

Trump loses appeal to reinstate controversial travel ban

A US appeals court has upheld the suspension of President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban.
The ruling, from a panel of three appeal court justices in San Francisco, could pave the way for a showdown in the Supreme Court.

I know what an NDA is. Thank you.

No surprise, most talking heads didn't expect him to win with this panel of judges.

Supreme Court is a certainty.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

He keeps talking about the security of the country is at stake. However, in my opinion, if he had carried out this plan the right way rather than being like a bull at a gate, he wouldn't have opened up this window of opportunity for any terrorists to sneak in.

Out of interest, what would your view be if one of Theresa Mays aides, went on TV and told people they should buy Theresa's daughters (if she had one) products?

It would depend on the context.

If it was a comment given during a line of questioning - not that bothered.

If they came on screen and specifically made a statement like that, purely for that reason. Then I wouldn't be ok with that.

Yeah, just saw that.

Well, I haven't read anything but the headline as yet.

Not sure where he goes from here, will have to have a read.

While he does not have his Supreme Court Pick confirmed, a 4-4 ruling there would see original suspension upheld from Seattle Judge and it could take months for his pick to be confirmed.

A fresh re-worked Executive Order is now highly probable as he won't abandon an election pledge.
