Explosive quote.

"In the beginning was nothing which exploded" is a wonderful quotation fom a DiscWorld book by author Terry Pratchett.
Not only does it rationally summarise the so-called Big Bang but rather demonstrates how this is a mere belief; indeed a faith system. The look on the face of somebody who has been taught the Big Bang Theory as fact is a picture if you use this quote. You see them rapidly unravel the patent absurdity of it all.
Evolutionary scientists have got SO much wrong and precious little right.

Post Offices disaster.

It would cost an equivalent of just 16p per person per week to raise a subsidy to stop Post Office closures.
Post Office closures are NOT a money issue but a result of two European Union directives.
Whilst on the topic of the EU, it costs £16 per person per week to fund this seedy, imperialistic, bureaucratic nonsense.
Postal Directives: 97/67/EC and 2002/39/EC.

Baa, baa, baa.

A friend yesterday asked me whether Orwell's 1984 remains on the school curriculum. Neither of us knew but we strongly doubted it as this would require students to think deeply about the nature and structure of the society they inhabit.
We then considered soaps and how these are used to manipulate the masses into a desired line of thinking.
Take as an example from many, the Les Battersby character in Coronation Street who is the only one to be opposed to viewing the transexual Hayley as a woman. Les is a bigoted clown and there is a subliminal message which is transmitted to the audience that they are as bad as he is if they ever share anything of his opinions. This is not even subtlety.The possibilities for the exercise of social control are enormous. The nice guys in soaps, comedies and even dramas, always hold the invariably liberal-left opinions of the writers.
Soaps have consistently trivialised the abortion issue. Socialists and liberals are 'all jolly good chaps' without exception. Businessmen are all Mike Baldwin types; grasping capitalists subjugating the workers and never the 'lifeblood of the nation'. An almost pure marxist perception.The list is endless.
Do not get me started on the differing portrayals of Christians and Muslims! My wife and I refuse to watch soaps.

Hain again.

Peter Hain, the Northern Ireland Secretary is rushing the Northern Ireland version of the Sexual Orientation Regulations onto the statute book. If these are anything to go by, the laws planned for the rest of the UK will have alarming implications for religious liberty.

The obvious answer.

There is a regular tendency in certain quarters to 'go beyond the obvious' if negatives appear regularly with regard to a particular social or ethnic group.
In the 70s, we were told that blacks were more likely to be stopped by Police in certain areas under the old 'suss laws'.
The conclusion which we were informed would have to be reached was that the Police were racist. This ignored the immediately more obvious fact that in these areas, black men were more likely to be hanging around outside in the street, after dark. Consequently, there were more blacks stopped.
For thirty five years the left have desperately tried to disguise the simple fact that more crime was being committed by black youths than by white. Why do this? Is it not dishonest? Do you not play more rapidly into the hands of the BNP by such practices than you do by being frank? Remember the attitudes of the liberal-left some years ago when London muggers were revealed as 90% black? What an outcry!
When black girls of Caribbean origin began to top the leagues of academic success in schools - there was no similar digging to find an alternative explanation. When these were replaced by youngsters of Asian origins, where were the complaints?
The latest in a long, long line of double standards is an official study which has investigated why black children were three times more likely than white children to be expelled from school. It concluded with that absurd claim that schools are 'institutionally racist'. Where have we heard that ridiculous expression before?
I can assure my reader that if a child about to be excluded is black, even greater efforts will be made not to expel as treatment is rarely evenhanded because of the 'prejudice police' who are always on the lookout for a story - however unlikely or tenuous the link. As a result and out of fear of criticism, schools are considerably LESS likely to expel children from ethnic minorities. I know. I have been there!
If black children are expelled at the declared rate, I can assure you that the problem runs even deeper than at face value. The simple conclusion must be that they are the ones more likely to misbehave.
The teaching unions, in full defence mode - and rightly - have persuaded the government to shelve this silly investigation and its puerile results.
What a shame that the Police did not have a little more clout when they were described as 'institutionally racist'.

Let us ensure that no racist groups can ever have justification for using propaganda like that seen on this photo. The vast majority of people from ethnic minorities are not asking for the demeaning 'special case status' which our angst-ridden lefties would foist upon them.

A double whammy.

I have argued previously about the countless injustices of inheritance tax in any circumstance.
Two elderly spinster sisters who have shared a home for 40 years have had a disastrous, mean-spirited, manifestly unjust judgement given against them by judges in the so-called European Court of Human Rights who threw out their case by a 4-3 verdict thus landing them with a £10,000 legal bill. Apparently as relations, their legitimate rights must be seen as inferior to those of homosexual couples.
Joyce and Sybil Burden have lived together all their lives. Their claim was that they should be spared inheritance tax in just the same way as married couples, or homosexuals who form a civil partnership.
The one who lives the longest will now have to sell the family home when the other dies so as to to raise the £61,000 inheritance tax bill.

Welcome to justice in our EU-dominated, politically correct world!

And the point of this blogsite is...

What exactly is the function of this Blog? Why does it exist? - Part of this is explained on the heading.
I am wearied by the incessant political correctness in our nation which is an incredibly anti-libertarian culture and am particularly concerned where it infects a large portion of the liberal church. This has a knock on effect into genuine Christianity.
The site also fights atheism, apathy and undemocratic practices from the political class. I fight the liberal elite, marxism - in all its variants, the imperialistic European Union, anti scriptural practices throughout society, the cult of personality, secret societies, those who refuse debate and all who work to enslave our dormant people.
I oppose cheats, the dishonest, the mealy-mouthed and the proclaimers of weasel words.
I want to see the honest, hardworking, decent people rewarded and those who oppose this alienated. I want criminals locked up and our borders secure. I want our troops out of other people's conflicts and I want to retain the freedoms which our masters in Brussels want to remove from us as they dismantle our nation.
I want to see the Saviour given due honour and deference.

Pardon my suspicions.

Head Teacher Susan Aspland of Wallisdean Infant School in Hampshire is only allowing pupils to send a single Christmas card - to the whole class. Ostensibly this is to 'cut down on litter and to help children's self esteem.'
Two possibilities: either this is true and diminishes part of the excitement of Christmas for pupils OR it is political correctness in disguise.
Were I a gambling man I know where my wager would be placed!

The Temple Curtain.

Do you want a proof of the accuracy of the Gospels?
Take Mark's Gospel late dated by theologians to 64/65 AD - it was almost certainly some 20 years earlier. [See 'Papyrology' posting 29th August.]
Consider the 'splitting of the temple curtain' in Mark 15. There is a major proof both of the accuracy of the Scriptures and the miraculous element at the precise moment of Christ' death. How so?
If this event had NOT happened everybody with any Jerusalem connection would have known and would have instantly rejected the written Gospel as inaccurate and untrustworthy. John Mark would not have dared include this fact if not widely known in Jerusalem. The same applies with Luke and Matthew, two later versions which both include this.
Think about it. Even if we allow the theologians their absurd 30 years the story could not have held firm. Too many survivors would have spotted any untruth as the curtain was on public view and simply enormous!
If the front of Sheffield Town Hall had mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago - I would have recalled it. It did not happen. If somebody were to publish a story today claiming it had disappeared, I would catch them out instantly.
Folks. The miracle happened! Let us not forget that a similar case can be made where the question of "the darkness over the land" is concerned although this is rather less finite.

Barbados

70 MEPs went to a conference on poverty recently. "That could have been a bit pricey" do I hear you say?
Well, yes - BARBADOS generally is! Mrs Kinnock was, of course, at the forefront of this luxury, gravy train ride.
What about UKIP? How many did they send? - NIL!

Christmas cards.

I have already commented on the horrors of Christmas stamps and the need to campaign for real Christmas cards to which I should add, that a fortnight ago, I trawled through all the shops selling cards in the centre of Sheffield and found the grand total of ZERO Christmas cards worthy of the name.
I put my hands up. In the past I have not been averse to sending cards with joke Santas and the rest.
We did our cards yesterday and admittedly we did use up all the old, bland , leftover, not-Christ-centred ones. {Waste not want not. All very greenly aware and all that.}
From now on, Christian cards or nothing. Join the campaign.
Recent survey of 5,500 cards - Nativity scenes etc in JUST 67!
Honour the Saviour!

A cause for optimism.

Last night I went to hear Nigel Farage, the multi-talented leader of the UK Independence Party speak to a packed house in Leeds.
No oratory; no insincerity; no politician answers. What he demonstrated was simple communication with 'ordinary people'.
He spoke extremely well for half an hour and gave the audience double that time to interrogate him.
Neither Blair, nor Campbell, nor Cameron could have connected as he did. He did not'work' his audience.
That the policies are right, and more importantly would work, was indisputable. Up to this point, you might have said that selling themselves is what politicians are about but give them any power.....
What underpinned last night was the fact that I would trust this man to deliver.
Of course - nobody is perfect and sadly there have already been gutter press records of philandering - and I believe that he perhaps hinted that there could be more revelations to come.
This man actually cares about the country and its people. I do hope nothing is allowed to wreck that.

The stated ambition is for The Independence Party to become our largest party in Brussels in 2009. If the electorate have any remaining shreds of sense, they will recognises that that is probably the only way we are going to be able to change our wretched, party system.

Quote: "Power to the people!" Wolfie Smith.

Magistrate forced to resign.

Christian, Andrew McClintock has been forced to resign from the S. Yorkshire Bench as he was unwilling to allow children to be adopted or fostered by homosexuals; one early victim - many more to come - from the 2005 Civil Partnerships Act. The Sexual Orientation Regulations are currently being put in place to add the icing to the cake.
The same heinous legislation could force me as a teacher to teach heterosexual partnerships and homosexual ones as being on a par.
Well. I for one shall not do that. Our school will not do that. Christian teaching is abundantly clear that sexual relationships outside heterosexual marriage are sinful.

These abominations are all being challenged in Law; the Equality Regulations of 2003 being cited.

This information came from: 'The English Churchman' - an excellent periodical.

A Christ-filled mass, if you will.

Merry Christmas !!

Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a "Holiday".

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda
The "Beeb" made Jesus a person to mock
Premier Radio became a channel to block!

At Dixons and Currys and Woolies and Comet
You won't hear the word Christmas,
lest someone should vomit!!
Inclusive, sensitive, di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me!
Now Blair, now Blunkett, now Beckett and Blears
On Hewitt, on Hoon and all Labour's peers!
In the House of Commons, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter
And we spoke not a word, as they privatised our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace!
The true gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season, stopped before it started!
So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"
Sipping your Starbucks, LISTEN TO ME!!!.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout! MERRY CHRISTMAS!, not Happy Holiday!

"Eugenics may be a good idea." - Dawkins

Many of you will realise I try to vary my topics but I have this morning, received information that that anti-Christian extremist Richard Dawkins is even worse than previously thought.
We were wrong to believe that the pseudo-science of eugenics - [amazingly popular in Nazi death camp regimes ] had died a well merited death.
It has now received qualified support from this dangerous, dangerous man.
See the links below! This is no great surprise of course, as this is a natural extension of evolutionist thinking.
PLEASE PRAY!

Odious Dawkins - steal your children?

There really are so few people I dislike. One of that select band is the man who is surely up for an award as the most arrogant man on the planet.
I beg my Christian readers to pray daily for this sad man to change.
This Oxford professor is a leading champion of atheism. He also slags off any scientist who does not believe in evolution - although he does not have the courage to debate with them. This may have something to do with his beliefs being cruelly exposed and his knowledge of genetics - his own specialism - being laid open to ridicule from a video interview he did some years ago which did the rounds of his opponents for many years.[Check link below. It really is worth it!]
Meet Richard Dawkins. For those of you who think that this attack on the good prof is maybe over the top, let me show you a horrifying quote from this wretched bigot's latest atheistic diatribe; a poorly argued book.

The political dimensions of Dawkins' thought are easily seen when he states how children should be protected from parents who believe in God.

"How much do we regard children as being the property of their parents?," Dawkins asks. "It's one thing to say people should be free to believe whatever they like, but should they be free to impose their beliefs on their children? Is there something to be said for society to be stepping in? What about bringing up children to believe
manifest falsehoods?"


Funny how the evolution idea - now clearly "a manifest falsehood" -SHOULD be rammed down our children's throats when people like Dawkins KNOW full well that every 'example' taught to schoolchildren from Galapagos finches to the peppered moth has been discredited AND by their fellow evolutionists who have written articles in science journals. {I know - I saw John Mackay spend an entire evening showing countless examples of just that.}

Please pray!

Common Purpose.

This is a portion of an article produced verbatim from the British Housewives League. I had previously heard of the ugly concept described. For once I make no comment - it is terrifying enough in this simple description!

" Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 18,000 graduate members and enormous power, 'Common Purpose' [in the United Kingdom] is largely unknown to the general public. It identifies leaders in all levels of our government, to assume power when our nation is replaced by the European Union, in what they call the 'Post-Democratic Society". They are learning to rule without democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to every one of us. It has members in the National Health Service, the BBC, the police, the legal profession, the Church, many of Britain's 8,500 quangos, local councils, schools, social services, the Civil Service, government ministries (it is backed by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott), Parliament, and it controls many of the Regional Development Agencies.

Question: If it is as innocent as self-described, why the incredible secrecy surrounding such an enormous project?

Economical with the truth?

It is stated with some authority by Labour that they have cut unemployment. What they have really done is to continue the sleight of hand which was adopted by Major to conceal unemployment behind other benefits - notably sickness.
It is an insult to the many genuine people on sickness benefits that they should be linked to countless individuals who are calculatedly milking the system.
The Reform think tank has recently revealed that the number not working and on benefits exceeds 5.4 million - to think we need to import labour according to their twisted logic! This is simply unsustainable but when will a political party show the courage to sort this out? - Yes. That's what I thought too!

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an extremist, Islamic group. Its members work freely at the Home Office, even dealing with matters of security and immigration. Political correctness in all its stupidity thinks this reasonable.
Incidentally, they do not even have to declare the affiliation. I wonder if BNP members, who are after all, a democratic party, would receive such treatment?
Our politicians look blank and glassy-eyed when you try to point out their double standards to them and that they are playing into the hands of parties like BNP! It is THEIR fault.

The Honours System - dishonoured.

There have always been honours given to: cronies,the famous, the wealthy, failed politicians, party stalwarts, the totally undeserving and of course, the token tea lady.
Blair and co arrive with a 'new brush' and award the all the same types of unmerited honours to perpetuate a hard-to-justify system.
You just have to feel that instead of dismantling the whole lot, he has decided to hold it up to ridicule.
How else do you explain knighthoods to the likes of hissy fit expert Elton John and priapic pub singer Tom Jones? It gets even worse when you see rewards for people with drugs convictions such as Jagger and McCartney!
If ever proof was needed that this country is morally degenerate.....

A proper system to reward the selfless and the truly special is a must.

"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." (Isa. 55:6-7).

The Christian Gospel.

As a post-Christian nation, it would be interesting to know just what percentage of the population even knows what the Christian teaching is on the issue of salvation. I suspect that it would be well under 20%.
Many would state erroneously that it was achieved by "being a good person."
Some would state that it is all about your "good deeds outweighing the bad."
Neither of course, is correct. The only people who go to Heaven are the 'forgiven'; those who repent and accept Christ's sacrifice as being for them.

The law of unintended consequences.

When a government cobbles together a mixture of ill-conceived, unwanted, politically-correct, dogmatic gibberish - if it turns around and bites them in the face - good!
The Sexual Orientation Regulations becomes law in April. It means that practising Christians in ministry - and there still are a few - will be forced to act against their Christian conscience and may well mean that priests will be sued for refusal to bless same-sex, civil partnerships.
Vincent Nicols the Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham has been in the forefront of fighting this wicked legislation alongside a favourite on this Blog, the Bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali.
Apparently charities, welfare work and Church youth clubs will all be affected and many will close. The Roman Church will be forced to pull out of running adoption agencies if forced to hand children over to homosexuals.
Even Blair's feeble-minded government will surely realise that it has to alter this appalling piece of EU-inspired infamy.
