BILLBOARD Chris — known for counter-protesting liberal demonstrations across Canada and the US – has come to the UK.
He visited Ireland, Wales and England before heading to Scotland.
Chris Elston is known for travelling around the world with a billboard carrying messaging warning against the "errors of gender ideology", particularly in relation to children.
In Ireland, the protester was stopped by the police after walking near a Disney store resulting in several people contacting the authorities.
I’m hearing from many that this police officer never threatened to arrest me, and that I’m some drama queen.

On his website, the protester says: “I’m a father of two girls and I decided to take a stand against gender ideology. Children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body.”
The activist has recently been in Scotland, where a group of three women took the protester on in Glasgow's George Square over his claims against trans healthcare.
In a video filmed by the protester, the women question why he cares so much about trans bodies and whether he knows any trans people.
The women cite the NHS process of transitioning whilst the protester claims children are being sterilised.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
