Usual Cronyism In New Year's Honours List.


Farage Supports Syrian Christians.

On Radio Two, Nigel Farage clarified his views on taking refugees from Syria. He pointed out that muslims can go to a variety of nearby countries - but Christians cannot!

The Same Yesterday, Today & Forever.

A changeable God would be a terror to the righteous, they would have no sure anchorage, and amid a changing world they would be driven to and fro in perpetual fear of shipwreck. ...Our heart leaps for joy as we bow before One who has never broken His word or changed His purpose.

Voting For Christians.

Christians cannot vote for the BNP with their attitudes to other races.
Christians cannot vote Labour & Lib Dem as SO many policies and attitudes are anti-God.
Christians would be pushed to vote Tory after so many anti-faith acts - even supporting EU courts against our UK believers.
I like UKIP. As a party and as individuals, it may not have a Christian base, but it NEVER attacks or undermines the Christian faith.
Even those who are not particularly keen on the party have no other, realistic place to go!

This is a Chancellor who has got his priorities wrong. He promised in 2010 that he would focus on cutting the deficit and reduce debt but under him the Government will have borrowed £198 billion more than he pledged.

Nigel Farage On Refugees.

Nigel Farage has spoken of the moral case for accepting some Syrian refugees.
Economic migrants 'no': some refugees 'yes'.
He is right, of course. We have a moral obligation to one group but not to the other. Our problem is that having taken so many economic migrants we are ill-equipped to make room for even genuine refugees.

'Moonfleet' - Fails.

Sky has been promoting its 'Moonfleet' two parter for at least three weeks.
The sound quality of the voices was so poor that my wife urged me to turn it off - which I did most happily after seeing a fair chunk. It mattered not whether it was street, beach or tavern - all were the same muffled sounds. Maybe it improved later on - we did not bovver to find out.
Mumbling from the actors combined with obtrusive background noise and listening became a strain for two people with pretty excellent hearing. I have heard far better soundtracks from films produced in the 1930s. If this is supposed to be some sort of 'realism' - it failed!
(Who was mumbling? - Clue above!)

RSPCA 'Sinister & Nasty.'

The RSPCA has become a "sinister and nasty" organisation, the head of the Countryside Alliance has warned.
General Sir Barney White-Spunner has even urged members of his group to stop donating to the animal charity, according to The Telegraph.
The “once great institution” is now more interested in animal rights than promoting welfare, he claims.
“It’s a sad story,” he said. “It’s got plenty of money but its membership has plummeted." Huff Post. Picture: Telegraph.
Well, I concluded this a good while ago. I have long refused to donate anything to the RSPCA and RSPB for rather different reasons.
I'll happily give to the PDSA and Songbird Survival instead.

'White Boys Losing Out To Immigrants'. LABOUR Admission!

Poor school achievement from white boys is linked to immigration from Eastern Europe according to Labour's shadow education secretary.

He claimed that change was essential as more people from the EU continue to arrive to compete for jobs.

The EU And Peace.

Yet again,  I am beginning to spot an abundance of the tired old arguments being trotted out about 'the EU keeping the peace in Europe.'
Let us address this issue:
1) No democracy has ever gone to war with another - so the EU seems largely irrelevant to the point.
2) When empires fall they almost always decay into warfare - and the EU cannot be sustained in its imperialistic desires. A matter of some great concern.
3) NATO, not the EU, has kept the peace where the former communist states are concerned.
Many of the pro-EU apologists are simply not being rational, unlike what is seen in the three points above. Europhile arguments are based on rhetoric, emotionalism and Goebbelsesque propaganda.

Afghastlystan: A Waste Of Time And British Lives - Here's Why!

Vital territory won by British forces in Afghanistan risks being lost to the Taliban as Britain completes its military withdrawal by the end of next year, the head of the Army has warned.
Key Afghan towns such as Musa Qala, where British troops suffered heavy casualties during the early phase of military operations in Helmand province, could be retaken by the Taliban as insurgents seek to regain lost territory, General Sir Peter Wall said.
So far 447 British soldiers have died and hundreds more have suffered serious injury during fighting in Afghanistan. The latest British soldier to die there was serving with the Royal Engineers when he was killed during an operation to the east of Kabul earlier this week. Telegraph.

The EU - What Have We Done?



What Have We Done? The surrender of our democracy to the EU, by David G Green
Since joining the European Economic Community in 1973, we have steadily lost the power to govern ourselves. Here Civitas director David Green describes the essential qualities of the free, open and democratic system which evolved over 1,000 years. Under our constitution the fact that the government can be removed immediately by either the Commons or the Crown changes its behaviour. EU officials have been handed powers by parliament at a time when the constitutional importance of being able to oust the government has been forgotten. Civitas.

Egypt Persecution Continues.

A well-known Christian campaigner for religious liberty, Mohammed Hegazy, has been detained in Egypt for allegedly inciting ‘sectarian strife’. Sources are concerned he may be tortured.
Hegazy, 31 – now widely known by his Christian name, Bishoy Armia Boulos – was arrested last Wednesday at a café in Minya, Upper Egypt. Security forces claimed he’d been working for a Christian satellite TV channel and contributing to a ‘false image’ that Christians in Minya are a target for violence.
Boulos’s friends believe his arrest was yet another attempt to persecute Egypt’s ‘best-known convert from Islam’. Boulos was the first Egyptian ever to file a legal suit to seek to change his religious identity on his ID card. As a result, he received death threats, forcing him into hiding. He had previously been arrested and tortured because of his conversion.
The court ruled against him on the grounds that Sharia (Islamic law) forbids anyone to leave Islam. An appeals court suspended his case indefinitely in 2010, to await a ruling by the constitutional court on another case related to religious identity. Both cases have been on hold since the 2011 revolution, as the constitution is revised.

Militants in Iraq targeted Christians in two separate bomb attacks in Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 37 people, officials said.
In one attack, a car bomb went off near a church during Christmas Mass in the capital's southern Dora neighborhood, killing at least 26 people and wounding 38, a police officer said.
A little bit earlier, a bomb ripped through an outdoor market in the nearby Christian section of Athorien, killing 11 people and wounding 21, the officer added.

Coconut For Judge!

A judge spared three brothers from jail then told them: ‘Call me Santa Claus’.
The  trio had admitted wounding two men in a fight over the installation of a safety fence at  a building site.
Despite their previous convictions for violence, the siblings were shown goodwill by Judge David Fletcher who handed down suspended jail terms so they could be with their families for Christmas.
As they left the court to celebrate, Judge Fletcher told them: ‘Call me Santa Claus because you have been very lucky.’
Last night campaigners criticised the judge for favouring criminals over their victims.

Warning!

Why I Really Dislike What Passes For Christmas.

As a fourteen year old, I won a cup for public speaking. My topic was, 'Have we lost the spirit of Christmas?' The answer then was a giant 'yes'.
Today, the pap, the consumerism, false bonhomie, the greed hot-wired into children, the Godless Christmas cards and all the other rubbish sickens me. How many put themselves into debt in the name of the Saviour?
The Christmas morning communion at my church is my high point. I somehow manage to remember what Christmas is actually about. I NEED that service!

The Euro: A Disaster!



As if the last, crisis-ridden three years haven’t already given Europe’s policy elite enough to think about, this juxtaposition in fortunes must surely have awoken them to the truth: monetary union isn’t working. Unfortunately, the reality is that euroland continues to stumble blindly from one botched response to another, neither able to reconfigure the single currency in a more sustainable form nor enact the sort of measures that might give it a credible future. This week’s blueprint for a banking union is only the latest example. Even in Brussels, they struggled to call it a job well done; this was meant to be the most significant leap forward for European integration since the launch of the euro itself, but in the event it was just another messy compromise. By Telegraph.

Two Letters About The EU. Yorks Post.

From: AW Clarke, Wold Croft, Sutton on Derwent, York.
I FEEL that Edward McMillan-Scott and Rebecca Taylor, both Lib Dem MEPs, cannot be allowed to crow about how much the EU is contributing to the region in various ‘grants’ etc (Yorkshire Post, December 16). Firstly, one has to remind them that, far from providing largesse from some amazing money machine, the EU are merely redistributing our own (UK taxpayers’) money.
It is difficult to ascertain exactly how much is given to the EU coffers by the UK. There are many figures produced by various organisations but, whatever the final sum is, you can be sure the money back is nothing like the money given. One has to ask why we should give so much of our income to a set of faceless individuals to redistribute as largesse for which we should be grateful.
Why not let our own government give the funds to the areas they consider suitable without resorting to the bureaucrats of Brussels?
The costs engendered by the huge money pit that is the EU has gone on for years with no evidence that it will ever stop increasing. I am astounded that there has not been more repercussions in some places at the high-handed way the various countries are treated if they should incur the officials’ displeasure. Lately we have been described as a “nasty country” by some unelected panjandrum who is, no doubt, being very well remunerated for his trouble.
I am afraid that the MEPs of Europe have little voice against the colossal machine that is the EU and that the whole of Europe have been taken for fools for too long.As far as I can see, the whole organisation is a huge con trick providing colossal rewards to faceless individuals, many of whom would have had little hope, on merit, of such a luxurious life style in their own homelands.
From: David Cook, Parkside Close, Cottingham, East Yorkshire.
I AM baffled how David Blakeborough (Yorkshire Post, December 10) thinks we’ll be weaker without the EU. He talks of the very significant grants we receive as members. Where does he think the money comes from?
Surprise, surprise we put in far more than we take out. An immediate saving of millions of pounds.If we do pull out will the Germans refuse to sell us their cars? Would the French wish to build a mountain of dairy produce rather than trade with us? Would we no longer see Italian wine in our shops?
Rather unlikely, I would think. Also how nice to have our fishing waters back.Neither would trade with the Commonwealth or the USA alter much either way.Finally we would no longer have to comply with EU regulations regarding the deportation of foreign criminals and our borders would be under our control.
Convinced, David Blakeborough?
