He Loved Us.

Real Love Is ....

I Disapprove Of Those Who Enjoy Being Offended.

Tribunal: British Airways planes at Heathrow AirportBA steward refused to be called darling: It offended my religious beliefs, he tells tribunal

According to Rothstein Williams, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the widely-used endearment was an insult offensive to his religious beliefs.
Oh dear!

Why Vote UKIP?

Is UKIP some sort of white knight on a gleaming charger riding to the rescue of our country?
Fraid not. It is just an ordinary party of pretty average, very decent people - and more than a smattering of practising Christians.
Two reasons to vote for them if you have a candidate on May the 3rd:
1) Policy-wise they are better than all the rest and
2) There really is nobody else!

THIEVES!

So. Some 42% of  shoppers are either downright thieves or at best, would-be pilferers. (And that excludes the ones who have failed to admit to the truth!) I wonder how many of these are the first to complain if something is 'nicked' from their gardens?
The figures were revealed in a study of 4,952 shoppers by money-saving website watchmywallet.co.uk. Few will be surprised that I shall point an accusatory finger directly at the left, the PC Brigade and the secularists who have been subverting society with their toxic doctrines for so long. Most people start off 'morally weak' and they need to be trained into honesty.
Our morally laissez faire wreck of a society no longer does that!
Such people shriek 'greed' at the drop of the proverbial hat when it is somebody who earns more than they do - but
HONESTY IS FOR EVERYBODY!

Well-Argued Backing of Letterwriter In YP For John Sentamu.

<>
There may be better out there but I just don't see it! There is a chance that he was originally a politically correct appointment. If that is true - it certainly backfired big-style!

From: Mrs D Whitaker, Godfrey Road, Halifax.

I AM disgusted and saddened to read (Yorkshire Post, April 23) that Dr John Sentamu has reportedly been the victim of malicious racism just because he is in the running to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
John Sentamu is just what the Church in this country needs – a breath of fresh air. A man of God who is not afraid to speak out in a way that everyone understands and who stands firmly by the teachings of the word of God and of whom the Press have taken notice many times.
Well, I for one hope that he is chosen to be Archbishop of Canterbury.
God Bless him. The ultimate decision is in God’s hands anyway.

Forgiveness .... Coals?

Leftist Onslaught.

Last night I was pondering just how much leftist propaganda has been rammed into school pupils and students over the decades.
Consider too the relentless onslaught of political correctness running back decades into the rest of us through: comedy, drama, news programmes and the media in general.
Isn't it truly AMAZING how many people have NOT fallen prey to all this social poison?
TBH - with all the massive input they've had - our leftie friends should really be doing better than they have been doing.
Maybe good ole horse sense is even more powerful than we have given it credit for being!

Black Is Just A Habit.

Persecution In Mali.

Violent Islamist Takeover in Mali Targets Fleeing Christians

By: Christian Today.
Christians in Mali are in a "desperate plight" following last month's military coup, international Christian aid agency Barnabas Fund has warned.

Create In Me A Clean Heart.

Even More Undermining Of Warmist Propaganda.

Why To Vote UKIP.

Let's be totally clear. It does not matter a single jot which of the LibLabCons you vote for.
Forty years ago - the big gob in the local taproom would take a pull on his pipe and pronounce - like a sage of old - that 'All these ****** political parties are the same' and the admiring hordes would be stunned to have been in the presence of such elevated wisdom!
Ironically, what was absolute tosh then (even if there were odd pointers available) - has now become hard fact. We have three liberal-left parties squabbling over the same ground.
So, when one of these three announces that a 'vote for UKIP is a wasted vote' they are living in terror of people actually starting to think about what has happened to our society at the hands of these people.
Even if UKIP will find it incredibly difficult to take any FPTP seats in the coming council elections - we must still vote for them.
In Sheffield we frequently beat BNP, Greens and Conservatives in coming third behind Labour &Lib Dems. If people persist we can begin totake second places - and from that point, the leap to winning council seats is not so great.
IT IS A PROCESS.
Maybe your UKIP candidate isn't going to win but you do not help by wasting a vote 'rearranging the deckchairs on The Titanic' with LibLabCons - and REMEMBER that a vote for the Greens is effectively a vote for marxism!
Do USE your vote! Do not ABUSE it!

Blocking Pornography.

If phone firms block porn so readily and easily, why can't the Internet providers do the same? They already have technology to install opt-in filters.


Call it censorship if you will - I don't care!

Maddie McCann & Ben.

The hunt for Maddie is being reawakened after five years. It would be really nice to know whether her parents took the lie detector tests which it was published that they were willing to undergo.
So did they happen? If not why not?
The self same question could be asked on a much older, local case - that of Ben Needham in 1991.

Donald Trump Ranting.

I had the dubious pleasure last night of watching a truculent Donald Trump raving about a handful of wind turbines two and a half miles off his expensive, new, Scottish golf course.
As a total neutral, it was for me an internal battle in deciding which was the least endearing - Trump or the turbines!

Santa Claus?

Drive Beyond CAREFULLY Or It Will Be - Enter The Ripoff Merchants!

'But a new survey from The AA suggests that being fined for motoring offences is only the beginning. In some cases, the subsequent rise in your car insurance premiums can leave you nursing a bill four times as big as the original fine.' (Huffington Post.)

House Of Lords Reform.

I have mixed views on this issue, the main temptation being to embrace the sound principle of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.'
Sadly, as this flies in the face of democracy (and democrat am I)  its survival seems unlikely.
That there are hereditary peers is an archaic nonsense - but we must admit that the system of 'checks and balances' has worked ridiculously well.
That there be experts co-opted seems to me quite reasonable.
My feeling would probably be for an elected upper chamber by proper PR. The trouble is that such a system continues closed party politics, whips et al. That is maybe better than 'aged party apparatchiks being put out to grass', however.
The thought of a massive UKIP presence - which would be inevitable under PR - is most appealing.

New Zealand Folly In The Offing?

'If George Osborne's recent 37p hike on cigarettes had you gasping for air, then don't move to New Zealand.
Ministry of Health officials there are looking at the possibility of raising the price of a packet to NZ$100 - around £50 - in their bid to stub out smoking for good by 2025.' (Mail)
Crackers! As a non-smoker, I still cannot cope with this kind of persecution. To bring balance - I wonder just how draconian penalties for possessing cannabis will need to become? 20 year sentences, perhaps?
Forget 'justice' however. These madmen politicians are making smuggling of tobacco a province of criminals who really will be able to 'get rich quick.'
Prohibition of alcohol in the USA led to the Kennedys becoming wealthy. Now consider how badly that worked out!


Thomas Coke.

Thomas Coke (9 September 1747 – 2 May 1814) was the first Methodist Bishop and is known as the Father of Methodist Missions.
Born in Brecon, south Wales, his father was a well-to-do apothecary. Coke, who was only 5 foot and 1 inch tall and prone to being overweight, read Jurisprudence at Jesus College, Oxford, which has a strong Welsh tradition, graduating Bachelor of Arts, then Master of Arts in 1770, and Doctor of Civil Law in 1775. On returning to Brecon he served as Mayor in 1772. (Wiki.)

Even The Warmist Big Guns Are Now Backtracking.

Environmental scientist James Lovelock, renowned for his terrifying predictions of climate change's deadly impact on the planet, has gone back on his previous claims, admitting they were 'alarmist'.
The 92-year-old Briton, who also developed the Gaia theory of the Earth as a single organism, has said climate change is still happening - just not as quickly as he once warned.
He added that other environmental commentators, such as former vice president Al Gore, are also guilty of exaggerating their arguments.
The admission comes as a devastating blow to proponents of climate change who regard Lovelock as a powerful figurehead.
Five years ago, he had claimed: 'Before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.'
But in an interview with msnbc.com, he admitted: 'I made a mistake.'
