Love it!

Sunday Times.

The sellout bishop.

James Jones, the allegedly evangelical bishop of Liverpool, has decided to stop supporting the Scriptures and support 'inclusivity' instead.

Good career move!

You aren't leftwing? - No? - Then you are not permitted to have a conscience!

Ever noticed how, with the liberal left, everything is "a matter of conscience" - complete with furrowed brow, serious expression, measured sincerity and grave demeanour?
(Of course, a large proportion of the time it is nothing of the sort! - It is merely a philosophy of life: a glorified opinion in deep disguise or possibly a detachment from reality.)

Ever noticed how nobody else is permitted a conscience at all?
Ever noticed how their conscience always trumps your conscience?

I can freely grasp that there be such things as spiritual absolutes - but I fail to see how basic opinions can carry all before them with room for neither challenge nor debate.

Lies and deceits.

I had a conversation the other day with a young man - a former pupil - who seemed most anxious to learn how you know when governments are lying.
I resisted the temptation to say "Whenever a politician opens his mouth...."
My considered response was:
"Whenever you are told that you must believe something and all debate is suspended - you are close. When you are then shouted down for your own contrary belief - that is the time when you know!"

More global warming.

'A passenger ferry with nearly 1,000 people on board broke free early this morning from heavy pack ice that had trapped it for hours in the Baltic Sea off the east coast of Sweden.
Dozens of other ships remained stuck and are awaiting assistance after gale-force winds built up large ice masses along the Swedish coastline.'

THE TIMES.

So - Nigel was rude to Van Rompuy.

Big deal. I am just fed up with the niceness with which we deal with evil. How very 'British' of us to try to be unfailingly polite to the man who symbolises the loss of our nationhood; the destruction of our society; the emptying of our pockets; the ravaging of our industries and much, much more.
Van Rompuy is' a nice little man who was shocked by the attack'.
Again, big deal. He is just a junior Hitler without the SS & Gestapo - but with Europol, the EU are already working on that deficiency!
If it lets 'em know that we cannot tolerate what they are doing - then GOOD!
(Incidentally, I am quite incapable of being rude like Nigel was.)

Without the slanted BBC presentation of the 'incident' - this would have been a vote-winner. People are fed up with Brussels and Rompuy is its symbol. With the BBC bias - it will have lost some and gained some.

Left and right.

One of the things which has long surprised me is how few people will admit to being right of centre when their attitudes prove that that is precisely what they are.

I recently explained on here that I consider myself to be a 'right of centre non tory'.

Listening to people as I always try to, it is clear that most people I meet are further to the right than I am - but would be surprised - and possibly even shocked to discover this.

This is a psychological victory for the wild propagandising of the left. Right = Bogeyman.

This is not always easy to spot as they may belong to any of the three largest parties or at least, will happily vote for these. It is what they think on individual issues which gives it away.

(Naturally here, I am not talking about the: university lecturing class; the ivory tower dwellers; the quangocrats; the bureaucrats and the fashionable, leftie elite. Nor do I speak of the many who are cocooned away into cosy little government or council enclaves where reality rarely impinges.)

I speak of everyday folk who, tragically for themselves and the nation, seem incapable of taking an accurate political overview.

But of course, the tactics of the left, and in particular the Fabians, have been working towards this goal for more than a century using the media and education as their tool.

Atheism never used to be this nasty.

There was a time when atheists made the Roman Catholic Church a target - and not always with poor reasoning.

Their spleen was generally vented at the institution rather than the beliefs, however.

The protestant churches were largely seen as inconsequential in the bigger picture and with the noted exception of snake-biting, poison drinking, racist, holy roller churches in the Deep South of the USA - there was an attitude of 'live and let live'.

That has now gone. The leftist atheists are spoiling for a fight; they disrespect belief; they use puerile arguments as to the existence of God; they lack the understanding of Christianity enjoyed by previous generations because few under 50 have had any sort of education based on this central point of the nation's culture.

They are spiteful; undemocratic; intolerant. They invent 'dangers' of having Christian belief; they claim to have science on their side; they mislead and demand the right to propagandise.

On radio, where everything is 99% secular - they demand part of the 1% where there is a 'God slot'.

They invent piffle about Christian schools; they try to exclude Christians from adoption & fostering; they would like to see no Christians amongst the magistracy or on school Boards of Governors or in any position of influence. They welcome muslim shows of belief and call it 'culture' but the wearing of a Christian symbol can get you sacked.

They insist that your beliefs must conform to theirs or the whole machinery of society will fall on your head.

Christians are required to believe things which go against Scripture. There will be no respect afforded.

THEY have the upper hand; THEY are in power: THEY are proof that the devil exists.

Their fight is relentless. It is a matter not of men but of principalities and powers'.

The fight is a spiritual one and that starts right here - ON THIS BLOG.

Please pass the Blog's address to all Christians who have not become diluted and infected by the things above.

On second thoughts, perhaps you could also send to those who have been affected - maybe it would show them that 'He who sups with the devil should eat with a long spoon'!

Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank does not surprise us with this revelation.

Soldiers’ lives were lost in Iraq and Afghanistan because Gordon Brown failed to fund the Army properly when he was Chancellor, a former chief of the defence staff said yesterday.
The Prime Minister is due to appear before the Iraq inquiry today at 10am.
General Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, who led the Armed Forces from 1997 to 2001, told The Times: “Not fully funding the Army in the way they had asked . . . undoubtedly cost the lives of soldiers. He should be asked why he was so unsympathetic towards defence and so sympathetic to other departments.”

No surprises here. The irony is that an administration that hates the Armed Forces as much Labour does should have used them so much!

Michael Foot.

Michael Foot - atheist; leftwinger; fool.

This was a man who lived in a world of theories; who couldn't grasp realities; who ignored all things which fell outside of his world view.

As a leader of the Labour Party, he led them to disaster and when he retired as an MP, he was described as "a great parliamentarian" - whatever that backhanded compliment might mean.

(His single redeeming virtue was that he saw the dangers of the European Union proving I suppose, that nobody can be wrong all of the time!)

He was certainly fluffy,intellectual, other-worldly and a tad cuddly; apparently a really pleasant chap - but nonetheless - extremely dangerous. In many respects a Woy Jenkins who was even more leftwing!

For all such as he, we should sadly turn to Psalm 14:1 "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God." Well, I suppose he knows the reality now.

In the wise words of John Donne,"Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind."

Persecution of The Church continues in Nigeria.

'A mob burnt down eight churches and several Christian shops – apparently to vent their frustration over the unrelated death of a Muslim tractor driver.
The attack on Christian properties in Kazaure city, Jigawa state, followed news that a Muslim had died after allegedly being chased and assaulted by police for a traffic offence.'

Atheists - don't you just love 'em?

'A campus atheist group began its attention-seeking holy book-for-porn program on Monday at the University of Texas at San Antonio. For three days, members of Atheist Agenda will give students pornographic magazines in exchange for any religious texts as part of their annual “Smut for Smut” campaign.'

Nice one Dude!

Revenge of the chickens!

Dude and three pals have killed a vulpine intruder in their coop.

Infant crime!

'Almost 160 children are convicted of crime every day, official figures show.
The young offenders even include ten-year-olds who have attacked police officers. A total of 57,635 under-16s were found guilty in court in 2008.

'Broken' Britain: Latest figures show 114 children of primary school age were convicted of violence and 176 of burglary in the last three years ... the number of crimes being committed by children had risen 13 per cent since Labour took power in 1997.
THANKS LABOUR. Your liberal left policies are showing their success levels.

NEVER trust Cameron!

Headlines abound of the tory plan for 200 new grammar-type schools.

Odd that this should come from that leftie leader who refused to support the concept several years ago - perhaps I'd better read the small print!

Ah yes. There it is. The vast majority would be 'non-selective grammars'.

What the blazes is a 'non-selective grammar?'

More smoke and mirrors from Cameron!

Maddy.

As the Madeleine McCann story hits the headlines again today, I must admit to a certain bemusement with the whole episode.

There is one vital question I have which would do much to help me gain a sense of proportion:

'Did Maddy's parents ever take the lie detector tests which they appeared willing so to do at one point?'

If they have not, then one may well wonder why that is the case.

Well done! Well said!

'Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey today accused politicians of trying to bully Christianity out of public life.
He complained of a 'strident and bullying campaign' to marginalise Christianity in the name of political correctness.
Lord Carey said: 'We have reached the point where politicians are mocked for merely expressing their faith.
'I cannot imagine any politician expressing concern that Britain should remain a Christian country. That reticence is a scandal and a disgrace to our history.'

35?

I think back to when the death penalty was abolished in 1965 and how we were told at the time that the alternative would be that "Life sentences would in future mean life!"

It has been revealed this week that in all British prisons, there are just 35 killers who must serve the 'whole of life tariff' (not including Peter Sutcliffe, of course!)

The number of murderers jailed in the last dozen years runs well into five figures.

Strangely enough, the last time I had access to the statistics - the then current total of 'lifers' in British prisons was just 3,600.

Wrap your mind around these figures and the question is whether surprise or horror hits you first!

Feed the birds ..

Okay. What's going on in the avian world?

For the whole of this appalling winter we have been stocking our bird table with a wide variety of birdy treats.

They have hardly bothered to attend. The vast majority have turned their beaks up at the daily banquets on offer.

Time was that the poorest crust would attract hosts of songbirds. I know that the magpies have hammered our local populations but - surely the survivors have to eat - don't they?

Forewarned.

At the end of March and for a large portion of April, I am not going to be able to guarantee daily postings although hopefully, there will only be odd days missed.
A full service will be resumed towards the end of April.

Right?

Objectively, this Blog is anti-leftwing but not in actual fact, rightwing. The problem is that the so-called centre of politics has shifted so much to the left over recent decades that, those of us who are centre/centre right are made to appear more right than we actually are.

What am I then, you ask? - I am a just right of centre, non tory who dislikes extremes immensely - BUT who, in this nation today, regards the left as infinitely more dangerous than the rather insignificant hard right.

(And I do not agree with the sentiments expressed on the tee shirt!)

Demos: a warning!

You want a clue as to why the so-called think tank, Demos, cannot be trusted? - Well here you are: "Demos was founded in 1993 by former Marxism Today editor Martin Jacques."
Their latest 'spiffing idea' is that school exclusions should be banned. Unbeeeelieeevable!
When I point to the left as the root cause of the majority of our problems as a nation, people should now be starting to get the message!

(Their latest piece of nonsense earns them a LoonyTunesWatch coconut!)
