Nice One, Borat.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher 'give £670,000 to charity.'

SHAME On These Airports!

Visitors to Stansted must pay £2.50 for a maximum of ten minutes parking, even if they stop for just a few seconds whilst Birmingham charges £1 for the first ten minutes. (Leeds Bradford is, I think, £3 for a dropoff.)
There are many more guilty parties throughout the airports of the UK. (See above.)

Why Does This NEED To Be Said?


Education Secretary Nicky Morgan has told schools that they do not have to give 'non-religious world views' equal billing with the major faiths as demanded by campaigners. Mail.

Doctors - The Fact:

The UK is more reliant on foreign doctors than any other major EU nation with a third born overseas.

Now the question! - WHY?

Genuine Help - For Atheists.

Robin Scumacher: When was the last time you read a work by a Christian apologist such as William Lane Craig, Ravi Zacharias, or Norman Geisler that worked through the philosophical and evidential arguments for Christianity? Have you ever contemplated things like, because our world exists, something must have always existed, and when you point to the universe as that eternal ‘something’ you exhibit a lot of ‘faith’ in the process?
Also ask yourself: is the reason you’re an atheist really based on supposed evidence, reason, and such, or is it more emotive in nature and grounded upon personal things that have happened to you in the past? For example, a recent CNN article about Ted Turner described how he once dreamed of being a missionary, but watching his young sister Mary Jean suffer and die from a disease dramatically altered his early belief in God.
So there you have it – my do’s and don’ts for atheists this Christmas. If you’re an atheist, kindly consider these suggestions and see what following the recommendations brings you. Hopefully, they will provide a richer experience during this time than you’ve had in the past. Christian News.

Uganda: Pray For Father and His Children.

uganda
Please pray for the safe return of three children in Uganda who have been kidnapped – because their father turned to Christ.
Our brother in Christ, Madengho Badir, says he has not slept since his three children, aged five, seven and ten, were snatched from their home in Kabuna, east Uganda, on Wednesday.
Madengho says he knows that their kidnappers are trying to force him to return to Islam. ‘I know God will answer our prayer, and I will get back my three children, since my only hope is in Jesus,’ he says.
Meanwhile, about 12 miles away, in Komodo, friends and family are mourning the death of a Christian policeman called Ismail Kuloba, who was shot dead last Tuesday. It seems he too was targeted because he had left Islam to follow Jesus.
Suspected extremists ambushed Ismail after summoning him on false pretences to deal with a ‘local land dispute’. When Ismail arrived at the scene, there was no such dispute – only a group of Islamist extremists, who killed him.

Honours Fiasco. (How Many UKIP Honours, I Wonder?)

Knighthoods should be for those who've served the UK with distinction. Lynton Crosby served the Tories with distinction. Not the same thing!

Hmm.

Survey: Most American Voters Want to Ban Syrian Refugees but Not All Muslims

Shiite Muslims march in Washington

A majority of American voters are against banning all Muslim refugees into the U.S., but more than half want to ban Syrian refugees specifically. Christian News.

BBC's Weak Science.

G Wright, Tadcaster.
I HAVE read your columnist Sir Bernard Ingham’s columns on the subject of global warning and was pleased that someone with a public forum was able to articulate views close to my own.
I have a scientific, technological and engineering background at very senior level and have worked with and employed sufficient so-called experts to know that one shouldn’t accept, as gospel, certainties promulgated as fact, no matter how erudite the source.
The BBC, which claims to be the broadcaster with the most integrity in the world, has much to answer for in the propaganda relating to global warming. Some months ago, there was a programme in which the BBC intended to convince spectics of the fact that CO2 caused global warming.
Fifteen people, said to be spectics, were brought into the studio where an experiment was set up to convince the doubters.
The experiment consisted of two large plastic containers, with thermometers, on which bright lights were shone.
The “scientist” then introduced an acid and a carbonate to produce CO2 in one container and – lo and behold – there was a greater rise in temperature in that with the CO2.
As any 15-year-old in my grammar school would have been aware, this would not have been surprising as the chemical reaction was exothermic.
Perhaps the “Mickey Mouse” science of the BBC is indicative 
of the decline in standards of basic science of the general population of the UK and, in particular the lack of any scientific background in politicians and polemicists.

UKIP Cheated In 2015 By A Corrupt Electoral System.

It no longer ever gets a mention in the 'two party' press, after fleeting references at the time, but I have not forgotten that UKIP were cheated out of 83 seats in the last election. 
I have not forgotten that Cameron refused to allow UKIP representation at the Cenotaph Service for our war dead by relying on arcane rules which could so easily have been changed. I have not forgotten all the Peers to which UKIP is entitled who have NOT been created 'within the gift' of our illustrious leader.

Old News On EU Monies To Sway The 'In Vote'.

EU chiefs 'plan to bombard voters with propaganda.'

Leave campaigners call for donations as they warn there is no limit on how much the European Commission could spend on pro-EU leaflets and advertising.

This Blog's Best Acting Performance Award 2015:

Mark Rylance for his outstanding portrayal of Thomas Cromwell in the BBC2 production of Wolf Hall. It's a crying shame that the man is an unrepentant leftie but, nevertheless, it is always the job of this Blog to attempt fairness.

Problem Solving In Larger Churches.

Economic Migrants - Brussels Lets Us Down! (Again.)

Fewer than 0.1 per cent of the asylum seekers who have made it to the continent since September have been sent back home, despite Brussels boasting it will get tough on economic migrants. 
At this rate, it would take an astonishing 143,000 years to repatriate the 1million refugees believed to have travelled to Europe in 2015 alone, if they all failed their asylum bids. Express.

Sangin.

I was horrified to see that UK Special Forces, namely the SAS, have been involved in firefights against the Taliban in a bid to secure the key city of Sangin. We have been told, ad nauseam, that British troops were only in Afghastlystan as 'advisors'. (Perhaps, even that would be a step too far.) We have had enough of our young men die in pointless fighting which has little to do with us. Cameron - you are not fit to be PM. 
We should not have a heavily weakened military. What we need is a strong military with the capability to defend the UK and its direct interests - ONLY!

Atrocity Kills Fifteen Christians In Nigeria.


http://www.releaseinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/nigeria1.jpg
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria’s Plateau state where gunmen have killed 15 Christians.
Fulani militants attacked two homes in Hwak Kwata-Zawan village near Jos on December 13. They also raided a compound where people displaced by violence elsewhere in the state had sought refuge.
In one home, a grandmother, Rose Monday, died trying to defend her three grandchildren. Two of the three children died: they were aged one and three. Their five-year-old sister, Anna, is being treated in hospital for gunshot wounds.
In the other house, Gyang Christopher Choji managed to escape but his son, his daughter and his daughter’s entire family were killed. Seven people died in the compound where people displaced from Bachi were living.
Gunmen had apparently visited earlier that day to survey the village while most people were at church – and had even asked local children for water. Release Int.
