The Mr Big making a mockery out of our immigration 'crackdown': The gangmaster smuggling 5,000 people a year into Britain from shacks near French village

His activities make a mockery of claims by David Cameron that Britain's immigration controls have got tougher. (Mail)

The EU's Relative Economic Importance: The Wisdom Of Professor Tim Congdon - 3

• So the Eurozone will by 2016 represent only an eighth of world output. But it is important to realize that - with a declining population and other nations catching up – its relative economic importance will fall in later decades.
• If the 2%-a-year growth differential between the Eurozone and the rest of the world seen in the 2000 – 2015 period were to continue, by 2050 the Eurozone would be a mere 5% of world output. (Yes!)
• It would be crazy for the UK to base its long-run economic strategy on a permanent association with an area in severe relative economic decline.

Christian Worries In Egypt As Well As Syria.

Release International is calling on Foreign Secretary William Hague to keep human and religious rights at the forefront of any talks with Egyptian and Syrian authorities. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party in Egypt has stated that religious freedom will be protected in the country and the nation will remain a civil state. ‘We welcome that,’ says Release UK Director Colin King, ‘but judging by the exodus of Christians from Egypt, many remain unconvinced. They are looking to President-elect Mursi to protect their security and guarantee their freedoms.
Christians in Egypt fear increased persecution following the popular vote for an Islamist President-elect, while Christians in Syria have been subject to attack, kidnap and murder as the conflict in that country continues.

While Release welcomes assurances from Egypt that religious freedom will be safeguarded following the election success of the Muslim Brotherhood, Release is calling for further action to make sure that Christian minorities in Egypt and Syria are protected.

Egypt's newly elected president, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, is vowing to elect a Christian and a woman as two vice presidents in an attempt to unify his government and people amid a period of uncertain turmoil. (Christian Post.)

One VERY Good Reason Never To Vote LibLabConGreen.

Throughout all of the EU's financial crises, when have the leaderships of these parties ever admitted that they were WRONG about the beneficial nature of the EU?

They have blamed bankers - a part of the story. They have blamed individual nations for profligacy - also not untrue.

BUT why have they not considered the root cause of all the problems - A Eurozone DESIGNED to politically enmesh [translation: 'hogtie'] nations rather than to benefit them economically! An imperialistic exercise - no more, no less.

So - NO forthcoming apologies.

This is important because it means that they are all in denial and are still trying to make a doomed structure work.

The EU is beginning to make The League Of Nations look like a huge success story.

APOLOGISING is the first step to realism. Then let them scrap the EU in its entirety keeping nothing other than the basic elements of The Common Market for which our people voted back in 1975!

So what can we do? Keep voting UKIP under all or any circumstances - whether they stand a chance of election or they do not! We have no other hope!

UK 'Isolationism' Outside The EU: The Wisdom Of Professor Tim Congdon - 2.

• If the UK outside the EU would be ‘isolated’, then 160 countries accounting for 90% of world population and over 80% of world output are ‘isolated’ at present.
• If the UK outside the UK would be ‘isolated’, so would the USA, Japan, Canada and Australia. Most nations do not belong to the EU.
• Leaving the EU is not ‘little England’-ism. On the contrary, it is remembering that the UK belongs to a larger world of which the EU/Eurozone is only one part – and a diminishing part at that.

The annual cost of regulations to industry, together with the cost the government quangos who enforce them, is now £100 billion per annum or 9% of our economy, according to the 2005 Anual Report of the Government's Better Regulation Task Force. David Arculus, its Managing Director says EU regulation is now our biggest industry (larger than tourism at £67 bn.) There are 113,500 regulations now; only 2% of them are not from the EU.

Reading Books To Earn Cuts In Jail Sentences In Brazil.

I just LOVE this idea. It should be instituted in the UK and used to replace automatic releases after half a sentence has been served.

It would need to be rather better in the way it was introduced than described below and should be much wider in its educational scope.

Inmates could be assessed for educational abilities and then given carefully monitored educational incentives.

Those with poor arithmetical skills could be given targets; English skills could be improved; better educated prisoners could begin a foreign language.

The biggest drawback would be the incessant attempts by leftists to dilute standards and their inevitable attempts to introduce leftist thinking by stealth - a lot like they do in our current education system!

Corner Shops.

We hear a great deal about the plight of the owners of small shop owners in the face of supermarket expansion and to an extent, I have sympathy - but only to an extent.

True - they are unable to bring buy-in costs to anywhere close to those of supermarkets but many have joined national groups which has meant that these differentials are not nearly as bad as might be thought.

My point is that I have encountered many instances in my life where local shopkeepers have pushed prices to the highest possible levels.
When has this happened? - Whenever that shop has some sort of monopoly in a particular area.
Happily, such monopolies are now much fewer as the vast majority can easily reach a decent supermarket.
Some small butchers and fruiterers et al can still withstand the onslaught of the supermarkets - and they do so by working to a principal of quality which supermarkets are seemingly unable to match.
It is not just Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall who can taste the difference with meat, eggs etc.

Opposition To Homosexual Marriage By The Chief Rabbi.

Dating The Gospel Of Luke By Norman Geisler.

The Gospel of Luke was written by the same author as the Acts of the Apostles, who refers to Luke as the 'former account' of 'all that Jesus began to do and teach' (Acts 1:1). The destiny ('Theophilus'), style, and vocabulary of the two books betray a common author. Roman historian Colin Hemer has provided powerful evidence that Acts was written between AD 60 and 62. This evidence includes these observations: 1. There is no mention in Acts of the crucial event of the fall of Jerusalem in 70.
2. There is no hint of the outbreak of the Jewish War in 66 or of serious deterioration of relations between Romans and Jews before that time.
3. There is no hint of the deterioration of Christian relations with Rome during the Neronian persecution of the late 60s.
4. There is no hint of the death of James at the hands of the Sanhedrin in ca. 62, which is recorded by Josephus in Antiquities of the Jews (20.9.1.200).
5. The significance of Gallio's judgement in Acts 18:14-17 may be seen as setting precedent to legitimize Christian teaching under the umbrella of the tolerance extended to Judaism.
6. The prominence and authority of the Sadducees in Acts reflects a pre-70 date, before the collapse of their political cooperation with Rome.
7. The relatively sympathetic attitude in Acts to Pharisees (unlike that found even in Luke's Gospel) does not fit well with in the period of Pharisaic revival that led up to the council at Jamnia. At that time a new phase of conflict began with Christianity.
8. Acts seems to antedate the arrival of Peter in Rome and implies that Peter and John were alive at the time of the writing.
9. The prominence of 'God-fearers' in the synagogues may point to a pre-70 date, after which there were few Gentile inquiries and converts to Jerusalem.
10. Luke gives insignificant details of the culture of an early, Julio-Claudian period.
11. Areas of controversy described presume that the temple was still standing.
12. Adolf Harnack contended that Paul's prophecy in 20:25 (cf. 20:38) may have been contradicted by later events. If so, the book must have appeared before those events.
13. Christian terminology used in Acts reflects an earlier period. Harnack points to use of Iusous and Ho Kurios, while Ho Christos always designates 'the Messiah,' and is not a proper name for Jesus.
14. The confident tone of Acts seems unlikely during the Neronian persecutions of Christians and the Jewish War with the Rome during the late 60s.
15. The action ends very early in the 60s, yet the description in Acts 27 and 28 is written with a vivid immediacy. It is also an odd place to end the book if years have passed since the pre-62 events transpired.
If Acts was written in 62 or before, and Luke was written before Acts (say 60), then Luke was written less than thirty years of the death of Jesus. This is contemporary to the generation who witnessed the events of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. This is precisely what Luke claims in the prologue to his Gospel:

Many have undertaken to draw up a record of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who were eye-witnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. [Luke 1:1-4]

Luke presents the same information about who Jesus is, what he taught, and his death and resurrection as do the other Gospels. Thus, there is not a reason to reject their historical accuracy either.

Survival Outside The EU? - The Wisdom Of Professor Tim Congdon - 1.

Can Britain survive outside the EU?
'Although the question is idiotic, it is implicit in phrasing which is common in speeches from enthusiasts for EU integration, e.g., from Clegg or Mandelson. Britain said to be ‘isolated’, ‘on the margin’ or ‘peripheral’ if not an EU member. But – on that basis – over 160 countries, accounting for more than 80% of world output, are ‘isolated’, ‘on the margin’, ‘peripheral’, etc!'

Pray, Pray And Pray Again For Nigeria.

Suicide bombers have attacked Christians in Nigeria during Sunday worship for the third week running, with the death toll this time rising to more than 50.
In what is becoming an all too familiar pattern of extremist attacks, a suicide bomber rammed a car into a barricade outside the Evangelical Church Winning All church in Kaduna city on Sunday. At least 24 people were killed and 125 were wounded.
Within a few minutes, explosives were detonated at Christ the King Church in Zaria, also in Kaduna state, killing at least 16 and injuring dozens more, some of them critically. Many of the wounded in this second attack were children. Then a Pentecostal congregation called Shalom Church in Kaduna city was bombed, killing at least ten, according to the Red Cross.
The BBC reports that Islamist extremists Boko Haram have claimed responsibility for the three attacks – as they did for attacks in Plateau and Borno states on June 10 and in Bauchi state on June 3 (Prayer Alert, June 6 and 12). (Release Int.)

A Major Mistake.

There's none so blind ....

The US Supreme Court ruled in favour of three out of four of the President's arguments that the southwestern state was not entitled to set its own immigration policy and make it a crime for immigrants to not carry registration documents, or to seek employment without a work permit.

The favourable ruling came a week after President Obama seized the initiative on the immigration debate by announcing a partial amnesty for young illegal immigrants who will now not be deported if they came to the US with their parents. (Telegraph.)

What mistakes. It sends a wrong message to would-be illegals! Our government will turn out to be just as stupid, given time.
