Areas Where Christian Persecution is Routinely Found.

Harvey cleared.

It was entirely predictable that a jury would clear Peter Harvey of attempted murder at Nottingham Crown Court and difficult to see how the charge could have been justified in the first place by the CPS.

I fully accept that the attack was the result of the most extreme of provocation and that it was precisely correct that he was convicted of GBH.

I have already made clear my enormous sympathies for this gentleman but I must admit that a non custodial disposal here is perhaps one step too far. Provocation, without being in fear of his own safety, is insufficient reason to impose a non custodial sentence.

Having been long part of the sentencing system, I must declare that you must always consider 'what message is being sent out' with any given outcome.

More than anything else, it was the failure of the system to take this aspect into account which resulted in my resignation as a Chairman of Magistrates.

Personally, I think that six months in prison would have vindicated the whole procedure. 'Mental problems' cannot obviate the need for punishment - they are merely a mitigating factor.

Let us never forget that he almost took somebody's life!

Why the 'sacred cow'?

'Women are more likely to die early in Britain than in virtually every other western European country. Even women in Slovenia and Albania – once part of the communist bloc – are likely to live longer.'
The Lancet.

And still the ridiculous myth persists that our NHS is something wonderful; akin to miraculous even.
I recently spotted the fact that even the USA's 37 million without health insurance have better cancer survival rates than in the UK!
Whenever the WHO publishes lists of varying health care systems around the world, the UK struggles to get into the top 3o.
Which country comes top? - La France, naturellement.
This is one sacred cow that must stop being afforded automatic protection.
Cuts in the NHS? - Yes, please. Let the axe fall on the compilers of statistics, the paper pushers and the overpaid bureaucrats.
Take all the billions of savings and redirect them into PATIENT CARE - and preferably bottom funded.

Show this to supporters of infant murder!

'A baby boy abandoned by doctors to die after a botched abortion was found to be still alive the next morning and died the following day.
The 22-week infant later died in intensive care at a hospital in the mother's home town of Rossano in southern Italy.'

*** Note. Aborted foetus in picture is also 22 weeks and the result of 'a more successful termination.'

A touch of the trots.

Anybody who has studied extreme marxists and trotskyites will be aware that when they fomented civil unrest in any nation, it was to create an uncertain environment in which they might have an opportunity to seize power.
Outsiders always supposed that in the toppling of a rightist government, they would be happy to see a left of centre party installed instead.
NOT SO! It had to be of their particular brand of marxism.
To them, any non marxist government was anathema. It was in the creation of chaos where they saw possibilities.

Different in all political terms but similar structurally is our present governmental situation.
It may be assumed that somebody like me who is a non-tory, single notch to the right of centre would want a tory government if I cannot get a UKIP one.

This is not the case. There isn't 'a cigarette paper's thickness in difference between the three largest parties' (To quote Nigel Farage).
The LibLabCon all sing from the same hymn sheet; a plague on all their houses.
I simply do not want a reshuffle of personalities and a collection of basically the same policies for the next five years.
All I want is any situation which takes us away from the liberal left and hard left of the Greens - NOT including BNP as an alternative, thanks.

Ryanair.

"Brussels is examining whether former EU commissioner Charlie McCreevy's move to join the board of Irish lowcost airline Ryanair is in breach of ethical rules governing the professional activities of ex-commissioners for up to a year after they leave office."

EU Observer.

To me, the relationship between a certain boss at Ryanair and the EU has always seemed a touch dubious.

This does nothing to allay my suspicions.

Arizona pilloried.

Phew. Arizona has enormous problems from illegal immigrants and passes a bill which effectively requires police to target illegals and to arrest those without the proper papers. Big deal!

The fly in the ointment is that it is assumed that people of 'Mexican appearance' will be the targets and, if legitimate, will, possibly inconveniently, have to carry the relevant papers which the liberal left are unilaterally declaring to be: unamerican, nazi, racist, 'not the done thing' etc, etc.

(Not too far off a limited version of Labour's failed ID card system here, really.)

So certain 'liberal' states are now in the act of 'boycotting Arizona' - apparently with the aid of Obama himself.

What has troubled the people of Arizona is the high crime levels from the illegals and most unreasonably, they wanted this stopped, all previous feeble efforts having failed miserably.

Now here's the rub. SEVENTY percent of the electorate voted for this measure!

Let me summarise then. We have to balance off the democratic wishes of the people against a relatively minor inconvenience to the legitimate gastarbeiten.

So, under these circumstances, according to the liberal left: DEMOCRACY MUST BE IGNORED BECAUSE IT CONFLICTS WITH THEIR OPINIONS!

They terrify me!

Prayer request.

May I please ask for support for my dear old Mum who is now 89 and needs prayer for her mind, mood and mobility - and that I be granted the grace and patience needed in helping her.
Many thanks.

Now here is a thought.

If there had been corporal punishment in place in the Nottingham school where science teacher Peter Harvey apparently attacked a pupil with a dumb bell, we are justified to wonder whether this zoo of a school might not have had to see the tragic incident which has led to Mr Harvey's trial.

There is surely no teacher who has faced this kind of atrocious pupil behaviour on a regular basis who has followed this story and not murmured contemplatively to him/herself:

"There but for the grace of God go I."

The poorer classes in even the better comps can push you to the very edge of a mental breakdown.

The stitch up!

The Great Debates - or 'yawns' as thinking people would call them - are just one more con being perpetrated on the British electorate by our we-have-it-all-sewn-up politicians.

Tragically, the voters are falling right into the trap. Here is the key:

Ask not what is said but what is not!

The battleground is predetermined by the LibLabCon. All issues debated fall within the narrow parameters of liberal left thinking and importantly, never stretch beyond these.

So. If the European Union is debated, it will be in extremely general terms about our 'relationship' with that body. It will never talk 'the hard talk' about fraud, loss of sovereignty, repatriating powers, referenda and incredible amounts of money being wasted.

It will certainly not address the basic issue which interests so many - WITHDRAWAL.

On Crime & Punishment, naturally enough - general terms again: waffle which hovers around the all failing policies. Who will break ranks and say, for example, "Three strikes and you are out?"

The trouble is that even if they did that, the policy would never be implemented but would follow the modest and tedious ASBO route into oblivion to allow tough talking with a blancmange fist in a faux velvet glove.

AS with these two areas - the same with all others!

Who scares me the most?

So. Who scares me the most? - Is it the BNP or is it the ones who question their democratic right to exist?

Reasonable physical chastisement.

Never is a situation so bad in a nation that you don't get interfering European bodies from the outside, and quisling lefties from the inside, conspiring together to make it considerably worse:

'Britain is being pressured by the Council of Europe to introduce a total ban on smacking children.
The UK is one of the few countries in the world not to have completely banned smacking, the Council of Europe has said.'

Just what this country is crying out for - LESS discipline!

Maybe, just maybe ....

"David Cameron delivered his strongest warning yet on the perils of a hung Parliament yesterday and accused Nick Clegg of trying to 'hold the country to ransom'.
The Tories said the haggling and uncertainty if no party wins a clear victory on May 6 would bring the economy to its knees and send interest rates soaring."

Well, maybe, just maybe, a hung Parliament is precisely what this country does need.

Although I fully accept David Cameron's argument, there are bigger fish here in need of finding a deep fat frier.

The ONE - and I really do mean SINGULAR - thing that the Liberal Democrats might do in such situation is to demand electoral reform - and with that, PR.

Sadly the STV system they have advocated is designed to be only one step better than an FPTP system which ensures that the rule of the major parties still could not easily be challenged.

Better than nothing - it would not readily open the way to a root and branch removal of the LibLabCon which this country so desperately requires.

Grisham.

Asking "Where did God come from?" is a lot like reading a John Grisham novel and saying "This book has lawyers and judges and secretaries, but what page is John Grisham on?"

Idolatry and demon worship.

The most disappointing feature of my Asian wanderings has been the extensive evidence of idolatry and demon worship in every direction. I expected no other, of course.

Add this to the cults and the atheists, the agnostics and nihilists as well as the left, the apologists for 'multifaith' and the apathetics back home - it is distressing that we can so easily see a world condemned: lost, and without recognising its only source of salvation.

Yet this is still a world were people are just one prayer of acceptance and commitment to the Risen Lord away, to be not merely freed, but saved from a Godless eternity also.

To Christians I URGE you to spend serious time in prayer for the lost of this planet.

Having a Tea Party.

There are certainly some comparisons which can be made between the UK Independence Party in Britain and The Tea Party in the USA.

Both these groups are representative of the opinion of the disenfranchised majority but are not yet part of mainstream politics.

The main difference is however, that Americans are beginning to get excited about something new, promising and potentially dynamic.

In the UK, so many say: " Well I would vote for them but ....."

The excitement at having a party which speaks for the majority is largely absent - and if truth be told - probably unrecognised by the majority itself over here.

Sigh!

NO thanks are due to: British Airways.

MANY thanks are due to The British Embassy here in Thailand for putting rockets up rears most successfully.

Today, British Airways have denied that they have been selling 'new seats' (which just happened to be more expensive) whilst they still had passengers stranded.

Sorry. But a number of people in our group have confirmed from their forays online that this is precisely what they have been doing!

If polls are correct ....

.... then the voters of the UK are total idiots. They will happily vote for precisely what they do not want.

No party is further from public opinion than The Liberal Democrats.

Weak on:

Crime

Immigration

Illegal immigration (Very weak)

Defence

Reduction of the 'nanny state'

European Union

Reduction of the size of the state.

Strong on:

Political Correctness

Ill-conceived green policies

High taxation (Read the small print.)

In fairness:

They do support electoral reform in the shape of PR - but which type? - The genuinely representative or the kinds that exclude smaller parties?

So if these are the policies you really want - then by all means VOTE LIB DEM!

On the local level, Lib Dems often do a good job. It is the national policies which I fear. Largely the same as Labour - but more so!

If this little lot horrifies you and you still plan to vote Lib Dem - then READ THE TEE SHIRT!

Cameron lied.

'In the first question about integration with Europe, Mr Cameron said 'we have let too many powers go from Westminster to Brussels' and 'we should take some of those powers back'.

Cameron knows about the EU principle of Acquis Commaunitaire and so also knows that the repatriation of powers is simply impossible.

Naturally, the other two mega europhiles were not going to correct him on this!

Michael O'Leary at Cattle Class Airways.

'Travellers finally arriving home as Britain's skies reopened are facing fresh frustration after a major budget airline vowed to defy EU compensation rules.
Amid recriminations about the Government's handling of the crisis, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary sparked fury by saying he would only reimburse travellers the original price of their air fare and no more.'
AOL News.

So! This is the same Michael O'Leary who was happy to pour money into the Irish 'Yes' campaign in the second vote on The Lisbon Treaty. Soon turns against the EU when it looks to cost him money - huh?
I, on the other hand, have been consistent in my oppposition to Brussels over the decades it has siphoned literally hundreds of thousands out of my family's budget.
I shall continue that opposition and shall not change attitudes because, just for once (literally), it has worked in my favour with British Airways having to cover our accommodation costs out here in sunny Bangkok.

This Blog has previously suggested a boycott of Mr O'Leary's appalling airline. I suspect that there are now considerably more people willing to heed that clarion call!
For those who do not recall - this is the man who wants passengers on shorter hauls to stand throughout flights.

UPDATE: Mr O' Leary's mouth was clearly ahead of his brain and he has now backtracked. (It makes you wonder what promises may have come from behind the scenes, doesn't it?)
I still urge readers to boycott Ryanair.

For all alcohol abusers - here is wisdom.

Proverbs 23:29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30: Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.

31: Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!

32: In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.

33: Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things.

34: You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging. “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

Remember. The Scriptures do not condemn alcohol but only its abuse.

Bangkok.

Accidentally wandered into the heart of the action in downtown Bangkok yesterday. (It's a long story.)
Troops; razor wire; police; riot shields; redshirts; barricades. All was quiet except for the bit which I have not seen reported anywhere - the fact that as far as we could see, the pro-government demonstrators outnumbered the redshirts - and were noisier. Why unreported? (Apologies for the quality of that photo but do notice the wording in English (?) on the banner.)

My wife clearly knows how to 'get revolutionaries onside.'

Bigging it up, mon.

Foreign Aid.

I refer to a Yorkshire Post Letter yesterday which makes a good point - albeit partially:

From: Paul Rouse, Main Street, Sutton on Derwent, York.

ALL three main parties agree that we need to reduce public expenditure in order to reduce our national debt, but, for some inexplicable reason, they also agree that overseas aid should be ring-fenced. We are giving money to India, whose companies now own great chunks of our industry, oil-rich Nigeria, Russia and even China who are currently lending money to the USA.I wonder what would happen if I asked my bank to loan me money so that I could give it away to my rich friends?

Unfortunately, there is a second aspect to the issue of foreign aid.

Much of the time WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE MONEY GOES!

How often does it line the pockets of corrupt officials and politicians and offers little help to those who are genuinely in need?

I disagree with Mr Rouse - I think. Surely, these relatively tiny amounts should be 'ring-fenced' - but NOT for our own use.

The secret with foreign aid is to TARGET where you send it, NOT stop giving!

Madobe Abdi - butchered.

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:21
NAIROBI, Kenya, March 24 (CDN) — Islamic militants in Somalia tracked down an underground church leader who had previously escaped a kidnapping attempt and killed him last week, Christian sources said. Islamic extremist al Shabaab rebels shot Madobe Abdi to death on March 15 at 9:30 a.m. in Mahaday village, 50 kilometers (31 miles) north of Johwar. He had escaped an al Shabaab attempt to kidnap him on March 2. Abdi’s death adds to a growing number of Christians murdered by Islamic militants, but his was distinctive in that he was not a convert from Islam. An orphan, Abdi was raised as a Christian.

University of Crime.

I have just been listening to a political debate on Radio Humberside online and with sickening predictability, the Lib Dem and The Green both supported the idea that 'Prisons are universities of crime.'

This wretched argument has all the power of a soundbite yet all the fiction of an Enid Blyton political commentary. It is utter pap!

It is calculatedly designed to purvey the thoroughly erroneous impression that 'innocent youngsters who have made a minor slip up are being shoved into prisons where they automatically become corrupted and trained by more experienced criminals.'

Until you have read a large number of three quarter inch thick, size 12 font, criminal records of lowlifes who have never been jailed - you have little right to comment! You have no idea!

Well, I have read 'em! Lots.

The mischievious impression is so far from reality that it equates to being an outright lie.

What you have to do get jailed today almost beggars belief.

So many tearaways are making the lives of ordinary people an utter misery and are permitted to continue unchecked. On this single detachment from reality - Greens and Lib Dems deserve to lose anybody's vote.

(Incidentally, the Labour voice seemed to believe that Labour has addressed crime! Presumably she must have meant the laughable ASBOs!)

Anger.

"He who angers you, conquers you."

Think of all that you hate about Labour. Keep thinking. Bad on: crime, education, EU, immigration, 'nanny state', political correctness, high taxation, 'big government' and so much more.

Health & education? - It could cost you!

My recent visits to the East have revealed that the people of China and Vietnam pay - to some extent at least - for education, higher education and healthcare. And no - not everybody is able to find a job!

Dangers of faith.

'Rival merchants threatened to kill a potato seller if he refused to convert to Islam.

Give until it hurts.

Although Christ attacked the abuse of wealth, even when He went as far as to talk about camels and needles, He did point out that salvation through God's grace was still in the frame.

There is no doubt in my mind after recent travels that we in the West are indeed rich - although how long this continues is quite a different matter.

The secret is obvious, though. Like the widow in The Temple - we must give until it hurts.

Amnesty shows its true colours.

That Amnesty or Amnesty Int. has been a regular target for this Blog can be of no surprise to anybody.

'Amnesty International defines itself as "a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all." (Sounds good, eh?)

So, why is the organization working hand-in-glove with one of the Taliban's most notorious defenders?
That's a question serious human-rights campaigners are asking themselves in light of Amnesty's curious collaboration with Moazzam Begg. Mr. Begg is a British citizen and former Guantanamo detainee who, following his release in 2005, wrote a memoir and became director of a group called Cageprisoners, which Amnesty [dares to] call a "leading human rights organization."

How crass can this appalling organisation get? The term 'human rights' has been a cover for both the terminally misguided and the wicked alike!

Please ensure that it never receives a single penny of your hard earned cash!

VAT.

Ever thought about our EU-imposed VAT? Ever considered the arguments that it was fairer to place taxation on spending? - Well, not for those on fixed incomes it ain't!

Furthermore, it was always implied that this would ease the burden on income tax which has simply proved untrue. It has massively contributed to the rising tax burden on our people and with only non-EU Canada as an exception amongst leading nations, VAT has risen in all countries from the levels at which it was first imposed.

The Wall Street Journal points out that this naturally contributes to: heavier (and clearly more frivolous, government spending), lower levels of income growth and lower job creation.

Sometimes things which are 'the norm' fall below our radar. Like the EU itself, VAT must always remain in the forefront of our thinking.

A red orphan without marxist leanings.

An interesting snippet.

The City of Jerusalem is mentioned around 600 times in the Old Testament but not at all in the Koran.

Global pollution.

Now perhaps the loonies who twitter on (not just on Twitter) will get the message.

This one volcano alone will probably equate to any number of decades of man-made pollution.

What we do is trivial in comparison to Nature's efforts.

This is precisely why there is such a discrepancy in the figures put out about the role of motor vehicles as a pollutant.

How can 0.6% be right at the same time as the greater figure of around 35% is also true?

This event shows us. The former figure is the percentage from all pollution: the second figure is the percentage of motor vehicles within man's contribution.

This is not an argument against our derisory efforts to keep the atmosphere clean but rather, it begs for a sense of perspective and proportion.

Patriotism.

We have had at least eleven guides during this trip and apart from the excellent but nonetheless, heavily-accented English, they have all had one thing in common.

All have been unable to disguise the burning love that they possess for their individual countries.

Come to England however and welcome to the depressing catalogue of:

"Patriotism is just the same as nationalism and Hitler was a nationalist!"

"We are all part of something bigger than mere nationhood."

"Patriotism is the slippery slope."

"Patriotism - what a good substitute for thinking."

"Patriotism? Oh. My country right or wrong, eh?"

And on top of this, we have all those who triumphantly state, "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" being too dimwitted to recognise that the quote is no criticism of the concept of patriotism at all - but refers to how scoundrels will pretend to be patriotic.

Such are our liberal left. They have made us feel guilty. They celebrate Welshness, Irishness and Scottishness and call Englisness 'racism'. They may occaionally concede that 'British' is marginally less awful than English.

These same hypocrites would almost have wet themselves and would have purred with delight to note the attitudes of our guides.

Let us not forget that for around a 120 years now, the incredibly influential Fabian Society has weaved its sinister magic in trying to gradually destroy the nation state altogether.

Support for the EU from the liberal left is no accident!

The asian tiger economies.

Well. We in the West have much to be scared about. The 'economic miracle' out here is in evidence everywhere - and we haven't even been to S. Korea!

They are all working their socks off to get ahead - and it shows. Contrast this with our overtaxed and consequently, apathetic society.

We will inevitably lose this war and our General Election is no more than 'rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.'

We need a party of vim, vigour and vitality - and the LibLabCon ain't it!

It may not be UKIP, but at this point, they are the only hope we have!

Awww.

The ONLY way.

Having seen so many alien religions on my travels, my heart cries out for the lost.

"I am the way, the truth and the Life, nobody comes to the Father but by me." John 14:6.

Singapore.

From the outside and from direct reports from within, I had long believed Singapore to be my type of nation.

Having visited it - that impression remains.

The Singaporeans are an extremely intolerant people - intolerant of all anti social behaviour, that is!

Their crime rates are trivial; there is no litter; drivers must obey rules or receive heavy punishments; their educational and social care systems are second to none; they have one of the best healthcare systems in the world and retirement is at 62.

They consistently re-elect the same political party in their genuine democracy as - where would they find better?

Their public housing and housing for the elderly is just spectacular.

THIS IS A NATION OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS AND THEY DO NOT USE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS TO GET PEOPLE TOLERATING EACH OTHER.
