Peter Hitchens Is A True Democrat But ....

 His only mistake is in not seeing UKIP as the only realistic means of seeing this country oust the forces of anti-democracy. Much as I'd like to believe that we could have independent MPs as far as the eye can see - it just ain't gonna happen!

Well Done, Gary Streeter MP!

A ban on Christians claiming ‘God can heal’ has been challenged by a Tory MP who says he was cured  by prayer.
Former Government Minister Gary Streeter spoke out after advertising watchdogs outlawed leaflets claiming God could cure people of back pain, depression and other ailments.
The Advertising Standards Authority condemned material handed out by the Healing on the Streets group in Bath as misleading after a complaint was made by an atheist.
The authority, chaired by former Labour Culture Secretary Lord Smith, also warned that the leaflets could deter sick people from seeking essential medical attention.
But Mr Streeter cited his own religious ‘healing’ experience to challenge the ASA ruling.
The MP, who was born with a painful condition in his right hand, claimed it had been cured after his wife Janet and other Christians prayed for him.
Mr Streeter, MP for Devon South West, said: ‘It troubled me all my life. As soon as I got kicked or hit in the wrong place playing sport, it would be very painful.’
I have been healed on a number of occasions through prayer. The only thing I must say is that this has not happened on every occasion.

Miliband And The Left.

LEAVING The EU Would Destroy Jobs? - PIFFLE!

A million jobs were destroyed in the very first decade of our Common Market/EU membership”. And that is fact from official statistics!
And since ......!

The Quangocracy.

Wasn't it great to hear that the few quangocrats who have lost their jobs in the quarterhearted attempt by the coalition to cut back on money-swallowing quangos have been recycled?
Most have reemerged in equally highly paid government jobs!

The Disciples Were A Poor Bunch - Then They Got Worse! - Then ...

The Lord said: "I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered." - AND THEY WERE!
But consider this bunch of losers and what they became AFTER the Resurrection!

Those Christians Ruin EVERYTHING!

Have you noticed how these bleep bleep Christian-types keep bringing 'spiritual stuff' into holidays like Christmas and Easter?

Dr Johnson. Hope Trumps Experience?

Dr Johnson said that, "A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience."

Andrew Percy MP Admires Joe Arpaio. Me Too!

Andrew Percy, MP for Brigg and Goole, made the suggestion after becoming concerned about rubbish mounting up by motorways in his constituency, including hundreds of bottles of urine thrown away by lorry drivers.
“In the US I have seen chain gangs out clearing highways – why can’t we do that here?” he said. “We have criminals expected to pay back – why not get them out there doing something of use?” (Telegraph.)
There is just one problem I can see with this idea - the liberal left may not approve!

No Problem. I Shall Not Spend Any Of My Money In Brighton!

Cutting visitor numbers in Brighton.
The council has doubled the price of parking on the seafront to an astonishing £20 a day – £6 more than a similar spot in St Tropez, a favourite holiday spot of the rich and famous. (Mail.) A LoonyTunesWatch Coconut is perhaps in order!

Biblical Socialism?

From: Rev Barrie Williams, Chubb Hill Road, Whitby. (Yorks Post.)
I WAS taught that the essence of Socialism was the state ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange. Curiously enough, I cannot find anything about it in the New Testament.
Me neither!

Must A Brilliant Politician Have To Be In A Plane Crash To Get News Coverage?

From: Barabara Stark, Ridgestone, Bilton. (Yorks Post.)
TOM Richmond asks if there is anyone in politics who can be trusted (Yorkshire Post, April 3)?
Can I suggest Nigel Farage, leader of Ukip. He is for Britain, he is honest and says it as it is, he has charisma and the gift of oratory.
He is also invisible as far as the media is concerned – he is never mentioned. Why?
A Rather Bemused Nigel.

Lib Dem Voters Meet Up With A Green To Share Ideas.

Are We Surprised?

Ed Davey: Coalition “more pro-European than its Labour predecessor”In an interview with the New Statesmen, Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Lib Dem Ed Davey, has said, “In due course this government might well turn out to be seen to have been more constructive, more engaged and indeed more pro-European than its Labour predecessor.” The Telegraph reports Davey on UK membership of the euro as saying “You’d be an unwise person to ever rule something out totally”.
