Should Christianity Be Taught In Schools? - Yes.

Almost two-thirds of adults questioned by Oxford University in a survey said they support the teaching of Christianity in schools, and two-fifths said teaching about the faith needs more attention in religious education lessons.Oxford University asked 1,800 people whether they want the majority religion taught in schools, and the outcome shows that the majority, 64 percent, supports teaching Christianity to pupils to help them understand English history.

Jane Grabs A Comfortable Second: The Face Of Politics Is Changing.

Mr Farage last night claimed UKIP was the ‘second party in the North’ after posting its best ever result in a by-election.
His party’s candidate, Jane Collins, came second behind Labour in the Rotherham contest with the Tories in fifth and the Lib Dems back in eighth. The BNP came third and Respect fourth.
Mr Farage told Sky News: ‘We are going to have tonight our best-ever by-election result.
'It’s big progress, it’s a big result for UKIP.’

Well done Tories - it's not much but at least, it's a good start.

Job Seekers Allowance.

Let us put Mr Cameron's anti-poor people plans into some perspective, shall we?
If somebody on Job Seekers' Allowance allows themselves a treat once per week - let us say a single pint of Guinness - that will cost them around 5% of their benefits NOW.
'Too cheap'? What are these people wittering on about?

Whither UKIP? "Neither Left Nor Right."

These are the words of Nigel Farage lauding UKIP.
Certainly, that is what people want and the wide body of people who vote certainly are fed up with PC and the shenanigans of the left.
The Tory party today is a liberal left party which has retained some toryism in its economic policies.
Three leftist parties means that we are in the rather odd position at Westminster of having no real political centre at all - with the exception of random, small handfuls of MPs.
It really is quite bizarre.
If UKIP are the true centre of politics - which I believe us to be - we must settle to the right of the failed trio.
(Remember when Conservatives used to be just to the right of centre?)
Voters would clearly welcome a party which is NOT Tory but does cover that position in politics which that party chose to abandon.
So many voters who categorically refuse to vote tory are actually centre right in their opinions.
I believe this group represents the majority opinion in this country.

Best Of Friends, Huh?

Sean Gabb's Fascinating Contribution.
Cyril Smith was a Liberal Party politician, and supposedly the fattest Member of Parliament in history. He was also a pederast with a taste for beating young boys. In 1991, I had dinner with a retired Special Branch officer. He told me how, in 1977, the Rochdale police had assembled a dossier of evidence against the MP – systematic abuse of homeless boys in a hostel he’d helped found. However, the man was Chief Liberal Whip at the time, and the Liberals were in an informal coalition with a minority Labour Government. My friend was given the job of driving up to Rochdale to confiscate the dossier, and tell the local police to mind their own business in future.

Labour Do Not Even Recognise What They Have Done Wrong!!!

A senior member of the Labour-run council told The Daily Telegraph that the UK Independence Party is using the couple to seek an advantage in Thursday's poll in Rotherham.
The wife strenuously denied the claim and said Rotherham metropolitan borough council had “besmirched us all over again” following the removal by social workers of three ethnic minority children from their care. (D.Telegraph.)
PS. When the opposition gifts you a spectacular own goal - should you refuse to accept it?

Shut Tha Sen Up Blur, Tha Knose Nowt!

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair warned that it would be 'a monumental error of statesmanship' for Britain to turn its back on EuropeTony Blair says being Eurosceptic is like a virus and the Tories have ‘got it really bad’
The former Prime Minister used a Chatham House speech to admit Britain could leave the European Union but it would be 'hugely destructive' of long term interests.
Telegraph Reuters Mail Express IHT Independent
Apologies to readers with finer feelings but sometimes argument and debate just doesn't seem worth the effort where some people are concerned.

Minimum Pricing Of Alcohol.

We already pay absurd amounts for alcohol in the UK. We are taxed to the eyeballs. Community pubs are closing down at unprecedented rates and damage is being done to employment figures.
Clearly, this is all about 'stealth taxation' but let us examine Dave's arguments:
Minimum pricing will cut binge drinking and alcoholism.
Poppycock!
(Obviously, figures will be produced next year like a rabbit out of a hat to 'prove' that it has all been a roaring success.)
The FACTS:
1) This is aimed at poorer people.
2) It will cut drinking for the wrong people. Take for example the pensioner who currently can just afford a weekly 4 pack or bottle of sherry as a treat and who may no longer be able to do so.
3) It will have no effect at all on the more expensive alcoholic drinks.
4) It cannot cut alcoholism. Alcoholics will pay what they have to - it may well deprive many spouses and children, though!
5) Whilst drugs are peddled freely in our towns and cities - drug prices may become more attractive as an alternative.
6) Like alcoholics - binge drinkers will continue to disgust us on Friday and Saturday nights across the country because they are not punished adequately for their violent, abusive excesses. They WILL find the cash.
These measures are DOOMED to fail and pandering to the opinions of a handful of government doctors' opinions is a waste of everybody's time.
IT IS A TAX INCREASE concealed under the guise of just being 'Nanny State' again.
Hard to say which is worse.

Some wisdom from Simon Heffer.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2240118/A-nanny-state-dictates-drink-soon-telling-think.html
Oh and furthermore, the irony. Possibly hoist by his own petard?
The Telegraph reports that the European Commission has sent a nine-page legal opinion to the British Government warning that minimum prices are illegal – and that the Treasury should increase duty on alcoholic drinks if it wishes to raise the price.

Discipleship Explained.


Votes At 16?

Michael Dugher, Labour MP for Barnsley has recently published a piece demanding votes for 16 year olds.
What utter piffle. That children, the vast majority of whom have had little life experience and who will not have yet shed the feeble leftist ideas which have been fed into them through their education should have the vote is an absurdity. Mr Dugher clearly wants a goodly number of extra Labour votes as he knows that the majority of their votes already do not tend to come from people with any degree of political maturity.

The Route.

4%? That Really Concerns Me.

In a recent poll, 4% of those answering agreed that UKIP members should NOT be able to foster/adopt children!
That figure is horrendous. If we are able to extrapolate from this figure it means that there are some 2.5 million very sick losers out there who make my flesh creep!
Thinking about it though, that is probably a fairly accurate representation of the numbers of the genuinely politically correct in our society.
Don't they wield huge and disproportionate amounts of power?
For once, they have been exposed - named and shamed.
The lack of apologies in certain quarters has done some serious harm to the PC cause.

Sharia? - No Thanks!

Somalia: Christian beheaded by extremists.

Nov 19 2012

Islamist extremists in Somalia have beheaded a Christian before a crowd of onlookers – for leaving Islam. Farhan Haji Mose, 25, was executed on Friday morning in the coastal city of Barawa for 'being a spy' and 'for embracing a foreign religion', according to both Christian and Muslim sources. Mose, who ran a small cosmetics shop, had spent time in neighbouring Kenya, where he became a Christian in 2010. A business trip to Kenya last year, from which he returned in December, had apparently aroused extremists' suspicions – and Christian sources said Mose had been monitored for at least six months.Mose's body was dumped near the beach and his family were too frightened to recover it immediately, for fear of being killed themselves. Barawa is currently under the control of Al-Shabaab rebels who want to impose strict Islamic law or Sharia across Somalia. Mose is the fourth Christian known to have been beheaded in Somalia since September 2011. (Release Int.)
If Christendom contained members who were butchering other faiths across the world - do you truly think that the Beeb and other media would have kept it all so quiet?

Not Emotive, Of Course! But This Demonstrates The Level Of Argument Used.


We May Well Not Win In Rotherham Today But - Surely Our Best Ever Result Is Probable.

UKIP has soared to its highest poll rating in the wake of the fostering scandal. An exclusive YouGov poll for The Sun put the party on 11 per cent — up from eight per cent just two weeks ago.It comes as a huge boost ahead of tomorrow’s by-election in Rotherham, where a UKIP-supporting couple had their three foster kids taken away by the town’s Labour-run council and where the party hopes to win its first Commons seat.

Global Warming.

It has been reported that we may be facing the coldest winter in many decades.
Add this to the torrential downpours already experienced over and beyond our shocking summer.
I am awaiting those immortal words from some famous 'warmist':
"This fits perfectly with the model we have already demonstrated."

Discipleship - A New Theme For This Blog.


God? Er ...? - Oh Yes.

From: PJ Wallis, Royd Court, Mirfield, West Yorkshire.

Not once have I noted any reference to God. Surely credibility with God should be of primary importance? (Yorks Post.)

Road Humps.

'Sleeping policeman' are a particularly stoopid idea. Joyriders go across them as if they weren't there; they cause damage to car suspensions and steering; they cause pain to invalids.
When I was released from hospital 14 days ago post op', the trip home was a painful misery because of these wretched things.
Watching people veer from side to side to lessen their effect makes me convinced that minor accidents must increase because of the things.

Probably 'Global Warming'.

On this day in 1703, an unusual storm system finally dissipates over England after wreaking havoc on the country for nearly two weeks. Featuring hurricane strength winds, the storm killed somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 people. Hundreds of Royal Navy ships were lost to the storm, the worst in Britain's history.
The unusual weather began on November 14 as strong winds from the Atlantic Ocean battered the south of Britain and Wales. Many homes and other buildings were damaged by the pounding winds, but the hurricane-like storm only began doing serious damage on November 26. With winds estimated at over 80 miles per hour, bricks were blown from some buildings and embedded in others. Wood beams, separated from buildings, flew through the air and killed hundreds across the south of the country. Towns such as Plymouth, Hull, Cowes, Portsmouth and Bristol were devastated.
However, the death toll really mounted when 300 Royal Navy ships anchored off the country's southern coast—with 8,000 sailors on board—were lost. The Eddystone Lighthouse, built on a rock outcropping 14 miles from Plymouth, was felled by the storm. All of its residents, including its designer, Henry Winstanley, were killed. Huge waves on the Thames River sent water six feet higher than ever before recorded near London. More than 5,000 homes along the river were destroyed.

Nigeria: The Evil Continues.

NIGERIA - Double bomb attack on Kaduna church claims 11 lives

At least 11 people were killed yesterday when suicide bombers attacked a church in a military compound in the northern state of Kaduna.
Suspected Islamist extremists drove a bus packed with explosives into St Andrew's Military Church during a service, causing a first explosion which did not claim any lives, sources say.
However, as church members gathered around the site of the explosion to help the injured, a second car bomb was detonated, just outside the building, about ten minutes later. In addition to those killed, 30 people were reported injured inside the Jaji Military Cantonment, many of them seriously. (Release Int.)

EU - UK Influence Is Feeble.

If we only have 8% of votes in the European Council and 73 MEPs out of a total 753, meaning we only have 9.6% of the vote in the European Parliament. Even if our 73 MEPs all voted the same way (and we know they won't) it shows our limited influence and how powerless we are in protecting the Great British Public.
SO! Just how do we 'influence' people in there when they want to do something our country does not need?

Europhiles constantly aver that 'should we leave and go to subsidiary status, we would lose influence'.
They should be made to explain precisely HOW!

However, the suggestion has been rejected by UKIP leader Nigel Farage. (Open Europe.)

Promiscuous Lifestyles Funded By The Taxpayer? - NO!

From: Heather Causnett, Escrick, York.
CHRIS Bond’s article (Yorkshire Post, November 21) about young mothers made me furiously angry and a little sad.
As long as society treats promiscuity and unwanted, unplanned, irresponsible motherhood as something to be accepted as normal when there is a ready answer, called contraception, free and available to all, we will continue to add to the generation of babies who do not know their own fathers, let alone live a normal family life with them. What chance do they have of a decent, normal upbringing?
The drain on our resources is enormous and there is no excuse at all. Why on earth young girls who cannot live without sleeping around don’t either get themselves sterilised or take regular contraception, I do not know, but to feel anything but contempt for them is using plasters to cover up one of our most serious, modern-day diseases.
To offer free housing, money for expenses and sympathy only encourages them to continue with their abysmal lifestyles.

Mole-In-The-Know has been doing a little research into why perfectly clear 'dual carriageways' - caused by roadworks on the third lane of motorways (and frequently without any work going on) - always have absurd 50mph limits policed by average speed cameras.
They cause delays, bottlenecks and considerable irritation for drivers. I have known some as long as 22 miles! The cameras rub salt into the wound.
Apparently, according to MITK, this absurdity is in place for 'insurance reasons'.
This silly situation needs to be remedied - and quickly.
