‘Turning Point’ is the name of the organisation which was formed by the late Charlie Kirk. While the UK branch has never taken off like its parent company, they have drawn attention to themselves from time to time. Most recently, they turned heads by promoting this incredibly strange video on X/Twitter.

Jokes aside, there are no doubt many people have managed to get on top of their problems with the help of the structure that’s provided by organised religion. There’s ‘structure’, however, and there’s ‘STRUCTURE’, with the latter being distinctly more militant. It’s not for nothing that this group has called themselves ‘King’s Army’, either, as these screengrabs from their website demonstrate:
The ‘War With Sin’
Clicking around on KingsArmy.com, you get to the good stuff when you click the ‘War With Sin‘ dropdown. We’ve not included every Biblical quote they draw reference to, but as you’ll see, they’ve mostly just highlighted passages which sound vaguely militaristic:
King’s Army soldiers believe we are at war with sin and the devil. We see life like a battlefield that is split down the middle, with two opposing armies on each side.
On one half of the battlefield (life/light) (Col 1:12) are The King’s soldiers (Christians). (2 Tim 2:3)
On the other half of the battlefield (death/darkness) (Col 1:13), are Satans soldiers (Demons)
Behind enemy lines, trapped in trenches, deep in darkness, and sinking in swamps of sin, are the casualties of war. They are the dead (spiritually), or dying lost souls. (1 Pet 2:9)
. …
Their hearts have been poisoned by a terminal virus called sin, for which there is no earthly cure. (Jer 17:9)
Given the militaristic and cult-like appearance of King’s Army, the following quotes are more than a little worrying:
There is however, a heavenly antidote. This antidote is hidden in the form of a bullet, a salvation bullet, containing one drop of God’s Holy blood.
When fired from the weapon of the Gospel (2 Cor 6:7), the bullet finds its target (black heart) and there the salvation serum is released. It swims into the blood stream, reversing the terminal death process and
bringing life everlasting. (1 Pet 2:9).
We believe the mission given from the King to all of his soldiers, is to take back that which was stolen! (Matt 28:19) (Col 1:13)
It’s reassuring that guns are difficult to acquire in the UK, because it’s easy to see how a cult-inclined individual might turn ‘salvation bullets’ into a ‘heavenly mass shooting’.
Response
Despite the best wishes of politicians like Nigel Farage, the UK is not America:
It’s notable that Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite the Kingdom‘ rally featured far-right Christian speakers:
An outburst of vile racism and bigotry at the Tommy Robinson demo. Speaker Brian Tamaki declares: “Ban any type of public expression in our Christian nation from other religions. Ban Halal, ban Burquas. Ban mosques, ban temples, ban shrines – we don’t want those in our…
LBC’s Iain Dale lamented Soho’s present-day dearth of sex stuff:
What on earth is happening in our country? People dressed up in quasi blackshirt style uniforms having the gall to tell us to be moral. Just sod off the lot of you. PS they’re 30 years too late. The sex more or less disappeared from SoHo years ago! https://t.co/RdT8hI9OaF
Novara co-founder James Butler suggested the King’s Army is targeting homosexuality rather than sex in general:
Transplanted American lunacy. What this *actually* entails is a bunch of crackpot fundamentalists blocking the street in the historic centre of London’s gay community, which is really what the ‘immoral culture’ refers to. They certainly look like they need to unclench. https://t.co/ygrBJL7WsO
Another account highlighted that this retweet is an example of double yankification, with both Turning Point and weirdo Christianity originating in the states:
US state propaganda arm advertising a US funded religious fundamentalist group to harass and attack the LGBT community needs to be a huge fucking alarm bell right now! https://t.co/Ccjg64h0pl
The problem with the Bible is that it was written by different people over many years, and its since been translated by even more people with increasingly divergent intentions. As such, it’s easy for people to provide scaffolding to their own personal viewpoints by hyper-focussing on individual passages from their preferred translations.
The problem for King’s Army’s is that they missed this traditional British quote when they were crafting their world view:
"The King's Army" Jesus christ if you wanna be a peasant in 1320 so bad just drink some untreated water, knock a few teeth out and develop scurvy. No more electricity either, from now on your pastimes are basket weaving and making offerings to the Woodsie Lord.
