Undermining Christianity by the left.

'During the Hungarian Soviet revolution of 1919, Education Commissar George Lukacs ordered teachers to instruct children about sex in a deliberate effort to debauch Christian morality.'

The media, politicians, the entertainment industry, the Arts and all left-leaning political organisations have done exactly the same - almost to the point of it seeming that they have merely followed the good commissar's instructions to the letter.
The wider article here from Peter Hitchens is incredibly informative and I readily commend this link to you.

Military cutback disaster.

'Chief of the General Staff General Sir David Richards has said spending cuts are having a "cumulative and corrosive" effect on military personnel and their families.'
The Sunday Times.
It is the opinion of this Blog that it is impossible to gainsay the old adage that 'the first priority of all governments is the full protection of their citizenry'.
Clearly, this will not always end precisely at the point of your own borders.
For generations, governments have spent ever decreasing amounts of money on The Armed Forces using the rather naive argument that 'it is better to spend on social care than warfare'. If only it were that simple!
It is extremely worrying that the shortfall is being covered up by moves towards an EU army. At this point, not only shall we have no control over our own borders but have an armed force within, which, a body as imperialistic and amoral as the EU could well use against us at some future point when the people have got fed up of being bossed about by faceless Brussels bureaucrats.
Our costcutting governments are treading a dangerous line.
My grandfather always said to me when I was a young man that 'You should always be prepared to spend your last penny on guttering for the house' - for reasons which I contend are rather obvious.
For governments the rule is that 'If you do not want to fight - then your Armed Forces must be sufficiently well-equipped to give you that luxury'.
If you are going to fight then surely governments have a responsibility to ensure that our forces have the very best equipment. In matters of defence - the costs must never be important. How much must we spend? - Enough!
As a side issue - our membership of the EU has another serious drawback here. Significant employment could be created by contracts to British companies for military hardware but tragically, we are obliged to throw these open to every other EU nation!

Brian Gerrish.

I have never been totally convinced that Common Purpose is quite as bad as made out by some but there are nonetheless, a great many things to concern us within its increasing power base.
Neither do I fall into the camp that holds up Mr Gerrish as a 'conspiracy theorist', (always a perjorative term in this age).
So may I commend this important link to you in order to help you make up your own mind?

Logic wins.

You can't be angry with God and not believe in Him at the same time!

Dante.

In Dante's Fourth Circle of Hell, part of the punishment is the concept of useless or unnecessary labour.

I can't think why 'bureaucracy' just popped into my mind.

No atheists at the top of ...

'Lyndon Rush knows his sport gives him plenty of opportunities to be vocal about his faith in Jesus Christ, and he wants to make the most of those chances. "You know there's no atheist in a foxhole, right?" Rush asked. "There's no atheist at the top of a bobsled run, either."

Christian Examiner.

Lower, ever lower. Bring in the scapegoats!

Last Thursday I went to Sheffield Crown Court and watched British justice descend to a lower point than even I had thought it could possibly reach.
Suffice it to say that a 'bent' council official had been working a scam - not to steal monies for himself - but to make his department and therefore himself, appear much more important.
He contracted work out to a number of businesses who obviously did his bidding as instructed and they were told to submit invoices in a particular way. They received legitimate fees for their work. They were a little puzzled on occasions that certain contracts appeared inflated but these worries were naturally eased by the fact that all surplus funds were going back into the council!
The scam merchant at the Council died suddenly. It was only then revealed exactly what he had been doing on his own.

Three businessmen were unreasonably accused of false accounting and bullied into 'taking a deal'. They have had to pay court costs of ten thousand pounds each; all received a community work order; all got a suspended prison sentence; all have been made to repay the fees they had properly earned - and had already paid tax on!

The perpetrator's two dozen work colleagues were not in the dock. No council officers were in the dock. No member of the Sheffield Finance Department was in the dock. No councillors were in the dock. No salaried employees were in the dock. The auditors who had been impressed by what the man had been doing were not in the dock BUT three outsiders were!
They had no means of knowing that a scam even existed but still had to 'take the fall'.
Were they guilty? - Oh, probably - in some arcane sense but they were warned that if they went to a two month trial, their guilt, albeit only technical, would see them receiving substantial periods of custody.
To compound this disgraceful affair, in blazed The Sheffield Star. This once worthy organ of the press has produced some of the worst hack journalism I have ever seen outside the NOTW.
It implied that the legitimate fees were a quid pro quo for dishonesty. Even the judge and prosecution had seemed rather embarrassed by what they were doing and had not suggested that.
Their wicked headline implied that this trio had been involved in scamming millions from ratepayers. Nothing could be further from the truth - but - never let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?

EU Commissioner.

The other day I spotted an EU Commissioner drowning. I decided to get help.
I do hope they got him out or else it was a waste of a first class stamp!

Woolas.

'The immigration minister has admitted that his own children have 'suffered' because of the number of foreigners who have flooded into Britain.
In an extraordinary declaration, gaffe-prone Phil Woolas accepted the influx of migrants under Labour has taken a toll on local communities and services.
Confronted by an unemployed man on a BBC2 Newsnight special, he said:
'We recognise that. My own family... children have suffered from that.'

Labour's shame!

'Passports were given to foreigners at the rate of two a minute last year.
Officials approved a record 203,865 citizenship applications, 58 per cent more than in 2008.
Another 190,000 immigrants were given the right to settle in the UK in 2009 – a rise of 30 per cent on the year before.'


'Why do you show me this?
A million! Start, eyes!
What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?
Another yet! A further million! I'll see no more.'


(Apologies to Will Shakespeare for slight liberties taken!)

Not an ideal solution: not my choice but ... hmmm.

Pensioner Health Care Solution.
So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care or pension for you, what do you do? Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets.You are allowed to shoot 2 MPs and 2 Senior Government Officials. Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

Thanks, Jane!

Is it British justice?

Deputy District Judge Julia Newton has found a child care Assistant guilty of assault on a seven year old child at a school in Sheffield - none of these have been named. It is claimed that she had slapped him across the face although this was not directly witnessed by colleagues.
The child was in mid tantrum and had already caused injuries to the staff.
Even so, the DJ has warned that custody is possible.
I have my own feelings on the merits of this case which I shall not dwell on at this point.
Had this lady faced trial before a jury, I have little doubt that she would have been acquitted. Clearly, this was seen as fit for a Magistrates trial rather than Crown Court but these are my concerns:
1) Would the defence have opted not to go to trial in Crown had it been known in advance that this would go before a District Judge instead of a Bench of three JPs?
2) Is it right and proper that both guilt and sentence in a British Court should be determined by a single individual? - Where else does this occur in our Criminal Justice System?

I have worked alongside DJs and have found them to be impressive people for the most part but I have never believed that their role in the system is one that can be justified with these unprecedented powers.
I am sure that these are seldom abused but that is not really the point.

Get right with God!

This poster reminds me of millstones! Those who wantonly undermine the belief of others will have much to answer for - and the infinitive has been split!

Many of those whose belief is vague and insubstantial have a problem too as demonstrated with an unassailable logic in James 2:19 (King James Version).

"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

My house could be on fire but believing in the existence of fire engines will hardly do me a lot of good!

Car parking.

Yes, this is a scandal. What has happened in recent years is that the so-called 'green' politicians have figured out a way to punish motorists and raise revenue at the same time via parking fines.
In towns and cities throughout the nation, perfectly acceptable parking spaces have been blotted out by the imposition of double yellow lines and associated, unnecessary restrictions. Fines are now running at almost half a billion pounds annually!

This has affected businesses, pressurised motorists and ensured that drivers spend longer on the roads as they attempt to find parking. Green-minded politicians, as ever, manage to make things worse with their Mickey Mouse solutions.

Not a penny of mine.

'Gay couples could soon be allowed to “marry” in church after a decision by Anglican bishops and other clergy to support a relaxation of the ban.
Senior bishops in the Lords have told The Times that they will support an amendment to the Equality Bill next month that will lift the ban on civil partnership ceremonies in religious premises.'


It may not be much but I shall work hard to ensure that not as much as a single penny of mine will ever find itself in the coffers of The C of E from today.

Decent treatment of homosexuals throughout society is right and proper by Christians but this kind of heresy is intolerable.

These wicked politicians who should never be given your vote again!

'Labour encouraged mass immigration even though it knew that voters opposed it, Whitehall documents confirmed yesterday.
The Government said the public disagreed with immigration because of 'racism' and ministers were told to try to alter public attitudes.
The thinking on immigration among Labour leaders was set down in 2000 in a document prepared for the Cabinet Office and the Home Office, but the key passages were suppressed before it was published.
The paper was finally disclosed under freedom of information rules yesterday. It showed that ministers were advised that only the ill-educated and those who had never met a migrant were opposed to immigration.
They were also told that large-scale immigration would bring increases in crime, but they concealed these concerns from the public.
Sections of the paper, which underpinned Labour policies that admitted between two and three million immigrants to Britain in less than a decade, have already been made public.
These have showed that Labour aimed to use immigration not only for economic reasons but also to change the social make-up of the country.'

Contrary to what these truly evil people think and do - the UK is NOT their little toy to do with as they please.
They remind me of a malicious child who derives pleasure from breaking another child's toy. Why is all of this not headlines in the Guardian, The Independent and The Mirror, you may well ask!
How can you do anything other than utterly despise all that is left of centre?

Hung Parliament: it just doesn't make a ha'porth of difference!


Support for Cameron's Conservative party has crumbled to its lowest point for nearly two years, according to the latest monthly Guardian/ICM poll, leaving Britain on course for a hung parliament at the coming general election.

Just so long as it is mainly the LibLabCon in control - the differences will be almost indistinguishable!

VOTE UKIP. It may take decades - but the country NEEDS a breakthrough away from the current, unmovable, political elite!

Prayer works: why are some people surprised?

When Inspector Roger Bartlett realised his patch had one of the poorest crime detection rates in the area, he decided he needed help.
So he asked churchgoers to pool their efforts in calling for back-up - from God.
Three years after encouraging Christians from local churches to say prayers to help policemen, detection rates have soared, road accidents have fallen and Mr Bartlett is convinced it is evidence of divine intervention.

Inspector Roger Bartlett (left) pictured with street pastors in Exeter: The policeman asked churchgoers to pool their efforts in calling on a higher power
The clear-up rate for crimes in his force area of Barnstaple was 26 per cent, one of the lowest in the Devon and Cornwall area.
But since he asked for the prayers things have changed. Every quarter, the number of crimes solved has risen, so that at its current figure - more than 40 per cent - it is one of the highest in the country. ]
Mr Bartlett, 49, who is part of the leadership of the Christian Policing Team in his area, also asked worshippers to pray for a reduction in the number of serious or fatal road accidents - and they fell from 97 in 2007/8 to 32 in 2008/9.

Dave Spikey.

The list of comedians I refuse to watch is lengthening. Why are so many utterly abhorrent in their attitudes?
Forget the Roy Chubby Brown types - whom I really do not care for - the leftie crew are considerably worse.

Dave Spikey - take a bow.

Psalm 7:9. My prayer.

'O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.'

Scroll of truth.

Refreshing political honesty.

'Most of my working life had been spent in nationalised industries and nothing of significance had replaced the profit motive as a trigger to efficiency. Nationalisation had spawned bloated Leviathans of inefficiency and self-interest.
When I worked at Llanwern steelworks in South Wales in the Sixties and Seventies, I saw how simpleminded union bigots ruled the site.'


Paul Flynn MP. (Labour.)
My political opinions were formed under very similar circumstances, at about the same time, on Scunthorpe Steelworks. There the similarity ends. I rejected leftwing politics for all time having seen it in action first hand!

Freebie booze ups for them: our alcohol subject to tax hikes!

'Two Labour MPs took part in a champagne drinking contest on an official Commons junket to Paris, which led to one of them being violently ill. Left-winger Bill Etherington drank so much that a doctor was called. It was feared the MP might die after he defeated fellow Labour MP Geraldine Smith in the expenses-fuelled boozing competition.'

The Muslim Times.

Interesting how The Muslim Times refers to the US leader: President Barack Hussein Obama.

Tories attempt to bribe voters.

'THE Tories are planning a bank shares bonanza for millions of families as they fight to save their lead in the polls, which has slumped to just 6%.'

The fact that the tories are losing votes is pretty understandable when you see how appalling they have become BUT who else are people entrusting their votes to? - Labour? Lib Dems? Greens? BNP?
I am bemused.

Benefits mess.

Mole-in-the-know has discovered that a great many people who are classed as working by the present government are actually working a mere 18 hours a week and having a substantial amount made up to 'a living wage' on Family Tax Credit et al.
Now that is one thing - and clearly open to abuse.
Apparently, there is absolutely no incentive whatsoever to do any more work than a half week and what is more, those who can find a 'seasonal' job are only working this amount for a proportion of the year!
Mole-in-the-know has spoken directly to a driver who is 'working the system' in this manner.

Vote Tory? - I'd rather roll around naked on the floor of a pigsty!

'A confidential blueprint for David Cameron's controversial bid to impose more women, gays and ethnic candidates on reluctant party activists has come to light.
The explosive six-page document proposes the use of subterfuge to end the white, male and middle-class image of the Conservative Party.
It emerged on the eve of another grassroots revolt over the modernisation of the party.
Action Plan for Candidate Selection in Safe Seats is a fascinating insight into how modernisers have planned a gradual Tory party takeover.
'

I have a number of friends who vote Conservative and truly believe that this is the way to put this country back on track. Read the above and see if you could possibly agree with them! There is only ONE criterion that can be supported - TAKE THE BEST. Anything else is PC manipulation.
The Conservatives are not one whit better than Lib Dems, Labour & Greens.
As stated in a letter to the Yorks Post last week:
"UKIP are only ordinary but that is streets ahead of the rest!"

Tough!

It is one of those ineffable truths of political life that whenever there is a real problem in society which the government should be tackling, newspaper headlines will suddenly announce either "Government crackdown on ...." or "Government to get tough on ...."
At that point you can be quite certain that this is code for 'Absolutely nothing of relevance will occur.'
I just wish that all newspaper editors were a little less naive - or perhaps a little more straight with us!

Another martyr in Eritrea.

'Another Christian has died in prison in Eritrea – after refusing to make the prison chief a cup of coffee.
Hana Hagos Asgedom, 41, reportedly died at the Alla Military Camp near Decamhare town shortly after she was beaten with an iron rod for resisting the order. Mission Network News reports that a Christian would have interpreted this order as a sexual advance. The official cause of Hana's death was a heart attack.
The true extent of her suffering has become clearer. Hana, a member of Asabe Rhema Church, was held for three years at Wi'a Military Camp, near the Red Sea port of Massawa. Last year, she was moved to Alla, where she was forced to choose between renouncing her faith and being held in solitary confinement. Hana chose the latter.
She died on January 24, the eleventh Christian known to have died in custody in Eritrea since October 2006. It is feared many more such deaths may have gone undocumented'.


(Sources: Mission Network News, Open Doors)

An uncomfortable truth from the National General Secretary of UKIP.

High energy prices cause massive problems for people on low incomes. Yet the government continues to subsidise new wind farms - despite the fact that the energy they produce is more expensive. It's supposed to be 'greener' but there is a massive problem.

Q: When is power most needed?
A: During periods of extreme cold, or extreme hot, weather.
Q: Do wind farms work all year round?
A: No, they only work when it's windy.
Q: When is it NOT windy?
A: During periods of extreme cold, or extreme hot, weather.

So the government is spending massive amounts of money on a power source which doesn't work when we need it the most! On the 7th January - during the cold spell - the government's own figures show that our wind farms operated at just 5% efficiency! After this debacle it seems that the government is still committed to more wind power. Is there any other source of power that produces power at precisely the times when it isn't required?
The UK Independence Party believes that protecting our environment - and ensuring that Britain is a place that people want to live - is vital. However, we reject the claims from the 'green' lobby that obsession with the single measure of carbon dioxide emissions is the best way to proceed. We should be working to limit emissions of course, but there are ways of achieving this (for example, tax incentives for the least polluting vehicles) that do not require people to feel as though they are being victimised by central government.


Article taken from UKIP website, Sheffield.

Blasphemy in the Tory ranks.

Gay couples should be encouraged to adopt children, a Tory frontbencher suggested yesterday.
In a provocative speech that risked offending some Christians, Nick Herbert also said homosexuality may be 'given by God'.


Good grief! Just how offensive could you possibly get?

I never understand where these people get their ideas about God from. Has nobody ever considered studying His Word to find out HIS opinions on such things?

It's only taxpayers' money.

'A disastrous series of failed climate change publicity stunts cost taxpayers £9 million, it emerged yesterday.

Taxpayers have spent nearly £650,000 so far on such Cabinet meetings around the country.

Scapegoats.

I go regularly onto a website dedicated to Scunthorpe United - otherwise known correctly as The Mighty Iron.
It is quite an eye-opener to human nature.
Many of the posters express heartfelt views and more than a few speak fairly and honestly, of course.
But to be honest, as an insight into the human psyche, it is second to none. It is astonishing how so many people - all of whom support the team which is objectively the most successful in the country at the moment (Think about it!) - are at each others throats.
It seems that the relative anonymity of a website unleashes torrents of nastiness and I do not just refer to banter. It is quite disturbing in many ways.
Secondly, 'the scapegoat factor' is a significant part of this unpleasantness. Amongst the players, there always has to be scapegoats. Even a five star performance from a disliked player will elicit abuse. Allowances are never made, the manager 'never knows what he is doing'; the Chairman is 'tight'; 'the club lacks ambition' blah, blah.
I just wonder how many of the writers would like to be pilloried in their workplace in like manner?
Jesus was right. Let's hear a round of applause for THE GOLDEN RULE!

Spitting in the face of the public.

Although polls where people make their own decisions whether or not to participate are amongst the least accurate of all, and especially so within newspapers of a specific political hue, they do have a value if posed by a neutral body and are not obviously open to manipulation.
In this case, it is AOL who have had a self-selecting poll on whether the UK should join the euro.
As it stands, with more than 11,000 votes in - the answer is a resounding 89% against.
In the meantime, our europhile politicians go marching blithely onwards as if voters do not matter at all.
They are quite right. We ALLOW our politicians to do this to us. We should refuse to vote for any party which spits in the face of public opinion! When we continue to do so - we are simply consolidating the non-democratic system we have earned for ourselves.

Pig lungs.

A friend has pointed out an interesting, and I would have thought - serious flaw in evolutionist thinking.
According to the (macro) evolutionists, we humans descended from chimps/monkeys/apes/bonobos – n'est-ce pas?
So how come all the scientific advances in transplants seem to use pig organs?? -
Er .... yeah!



Nice one Dave!

More 'errors' in 'climate change data'!

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7028362.ece

Please tell me if .....

...... you ever have information in any workplace today that you have encountered, that there is any woman doing precisely the same job as a man and yet is being paid some 15% less. I have asked this question many times and have never received a reply!

Once again, in the last few days we are being assailed with wild feminist claims that women earn less than men.
Have they brokered in 'the interrupted career patterns' to which I have occasionally referred?

As a side issue, I wonder if they have considered the 'cherrypicking' of jobs done by women.
Looking outside my window as our bins are emptied this morning, I am reminded that it is a long time since I last saw a woman 'working the bins'.


Me? I believe in equality - you can stuff your special pleading!

Even Robert Peel wasn't always right ...

..... or maybe things have changed in a couple of centuries, Bobby!

"No minister ever stood, or could stand, against public opinion."

Fatal Flaw.

There are just three fundamental flaws in the logic on display here in this popular atheist slogan.

The word 'probably' means that they have stated that the existence of God is unlikely - but nonetheless possible! Doesn't that resonate better with agnostics?)

Secondly, if as implied, Christians aren't enjoying life - then surely they are doing something wrong!

Thirdly, I suspect that they are equating 'sin' with 'enjoyment'. As the atheist has no concept of 'personal sin' and consequences - perhaps they may be forgiven for what is their simple ignorance.

Even so. Three blunders in eleven words is not particularly good going - is it?

Yet more 'warmist' evidence is faked!

'The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change faces a fresh challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that the evidence for global warming is 'unequivocal'.
In its most recent report, the panel said there was no doubt that temperatures are rising and that man is largely to blame.
But some researchers, including a former IPCC report author, say that widespread and systematic tampering of the data mean the case for global warming has been grossly overstated.

Hot debate: ice caps such as this one in Greenland are melting at an alarming rate but the evidence that the world is warming continues to attract doubt
The claim will further erode trust in the panel, which has been caught making unfounded claims several times in recent weeks.
These include using a student's essay and an article from a climbing magazine to make claims about reductions in ice on mountains around the world in a report used by governments around the world to set environmental policy.'



QUESTION: If the evidence for man-made global warming is so conclusive - why is there so much fabricated evidence out there?

Was it all a taxation scam from the start?

'Labour has spent almost £7million on television adverts warning about the dangers of drinking in pubs – just four years after giving the go-ahead to 24-hour opening.'

Are you a 'warmist'? - Read it and weep!

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information .... he may have actually lost the relevant papers.....
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.
The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.
Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.
The raw data, collected from hundreds of weather stations around the world and analysed by his unit, has been used for years to bolster efforts by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to press governments to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Death.

In a week in which three people I know have died I never cease to be amazed at so many people's casual attitude to death - their own!
Now the atheist is taking a massive risk on his/her unproved assumption (better called a guess, I suppose) that there is no God.
By and large, the word 'agnostic' denotes somebody who has gone through life not having bothered to research the truth. Again - what a mighty risk!
Then we have the real fools - those who claim to believe in God but simply ignore His instructions; ignore the Scriptures; ignore the warnings; ignore the freely offered salvation of God the Son.

Surely, everybody owes it to themselves to research very seriously what this is all about. What if people like me are right? What if my claims to know Jesus are not spurious? What if you are facing the prospect of hell?

Some will say "But I am sure that a ' good God' would never condemn anybody to hell." They are right. Those who ignore the Cross condemn themselves. "God is not willing that any should perish." II Peter 3:9.

So back to the main point - surely the ageing process on its own should be enough to prompt people to seek the Truth. Clearly, it isn't! Odd when the only certainty of life beyond the fact of taxation is that our lives are going to end.
So, then what?

Matthew 7:7. "Seek and you will find."

Salvation. The story of a second miracle.

I had Scripture at junior school; Scripture at one grammar school; Divinity in a second grammar school and finally RK in my last grammar. I attended a Methodist Sunday School for six years and attended countless school assemblies and church services over years and after all of that I had precious little clue what the Gospel was actually about.

One very sunny Madrid day at Easter 1973, I read Romans 2:14 in my year-long quest to prove that: A] I had no need of Christianity and B] It was bogus in any case.

Within a matter of seconds after reading the above text all my arguments collapsed - I shan't explain the wherefores at this point - and I yielded to God and knew instantly and for all time that I had hit TRUTH. This 'saving faith' was the first miracle. It was real and immediate and so I am utterly unable to grasp how anybody can possibly 'go from belief to disbelief'. I have to assume that there was nothing substantial there from the start. God is not an opinion!
The second miracle in that same moment was that all the Scriptures of all the years gone by suddenly slotted instantly into place and made complete sense. A mishmash of bits and pieces became a cohesive whole in an instant.

And they call it a JUSTICE system?

'A father who defended his family from drug-crazed thugs by wounding one with a Samurai sword has been cleared by a jury.
David Fullard, 47, was prosecuted for attacking the two strangers who forced their way into his home and threatened to rape his partner and kill his two teenage children.
He insisted he was a desperate man acting legally in self-defence and struck out once with the ornamental sword, because it was the only weapon to hand.
'


So WHY was this man prosecuted - sorry, I meant persecuted?

Why are these two thugs (pictured) not even imprisoned?

Just because it's on paper don't make it so!

For over 20 years there has been a naive belief that if an employee makes a written record of something - then it is automatically true.
I found this out to my cost this last week when I discovered that CitiBank employees had falsified written accounts of telephone conversations dealing with a complaint that I have made.
I am now at a grave disadvantage in that complaint because of this very silly logic.
Certainly, in the Police, the NHS and Education, similar thinking applies - the logic is not merely flawed but patently absurd!
Employees write down what they claim that they have said and done. Well, they will aways record in a manner which suits their own purpose. Well, won't they?

How old are you?

If you were born after 1957, you will have had no say whatsoever on this country's membership of the EU.
It strikes me that it is about time that you had a say, and that the people who made the mistake of voting to stay in what was then the Common Market due to the barefaced lies of Traitor Heath et al, should be given a second chance!

To God Be The Glory.

FOR HIM.


The Lord has a place that I'm still trying to acquire.

Just that much more to take me a bit higher.

I'm not asking for wealth or for any fame...

I'm simply asking for the strength to call on His name.

I'm not good at many things but I know this much is true...

No matter what I'm not good at, all I need to be good at is You.

To keep up that race that I know I will win...

To strive for perfection only You carry within.

I may not be the wisest or the most beautifully displayed...

But my Lord still loves me and for His glory I was made!

"I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving" Psalm 69:30
