Several crisis pregnancy helplines covertly run by anti-abortion groups have been given free ads throughout 2025 via Google Ad Grants – a scheme which gives nonprofits up to £7000 per month of free search advertising.

One of the most active recipients was Pregnancy Crisis Helpline, which is running a series of ads that look like real search results claiming to offer ⁦a “safe” and “confidential place” if you’re considering an abortion.

“Wanting to end your pregnancy? We’re here to talk,” another advert – which was shown throughout this week – stated.

But the helpline was actually co-launched with Christian Concern, a right-wing evangelical organisation that wants abortion to be banned. One of its trustees, according to its latest accounts, is Christian Clive Copus, a former director of anti-abortion group ProLife Alliance.

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask questions, as the sub info says nothing about them, but hopefully this is still considered relevant.

I am about to travel to my home country, Hungary, in a few weeks. Haven't been back in years, and there's one thing I really miss: horse sausage. This is a somewhat traditional dry sausage (closer to a salami really), made of 100% horse meat, from horses reared specifically this purpose.

Horse meat is not listed on any of the banned lists, and most articles related to the topic on gov.uk do specify that horses are NOT susceptible to FMD.

However most of the info related to the ban does begin with "you're not allowed to import meat and dairy products" before specifying the banned species list - again, horse meat is NOT included on these lists.

Overall the bans are quite confusingly worded and aren't straightforward.

There's also mention of commercial documents needed - but only for non-human-consumption meat products (e.g. dog food).

So my question is, ultimately, can I bring 3-4kg of this sausage into the country, and if yes, what paperwork would I need? Most EU certifications are out of the question as these sausages are made by small local farms who don't really label or package the products much since it's not meant for export. Some more commercial options do have the label, but only in Hungarian.

I have sent a message to gov.uk with the relevant page linked however I'm yet to hear back and given I'm about to travel... I'd like to have some definitive answers before I get some £50-60 worth of meat confiscated at the airport.
