SHAME On Referee Who Stopped Groves Fight In Favour Of Froch.

Howard Foster stepped in to 'stop Groves receiving too much punishment.'
In my view, Froch looked stronger and would have won - but the intervention was premature and frankly, an utter disgrace!

Ah. Yes. Christ Died For His Church - You Husbands!

Tragically, He Is Right.

But I know that the vote of 9 out of 10 black Americans vote for the Democratic Party or for leftist kinds of policies just is not reflective of their opinions.

The Daniel Cure.

The Daniel Cure: Christ-Centered Lifestyle Approach Calls Individuals to Take Back Their Faith

By Richard J. Bloomer, PhD and Susan Gregory

Enter the Daniel Cure plan. Based on the Daniel Fast, a 21-day period of prayer and partial "plant-based" fasting, the Daniel Cure is a lifestyle approach aimed at healthy living. Although most individuals begin the Daniel Fast with the goal of becoming closer to God during a time of focused prayer, like Mary, many have been amazed by the physical transformation that also takes place.

Pastor Saeed Abedini's Family Visits Him in New Prison; Abedini Alive but Denied Medication  By Stoyan Zaimov
The family of Pastor Saeed Abedini in Iran has finally been allowed to visit him in Rajai Shahr Prison, where he was abruptly transferred to earlier this month. But the U.S. citizen is still being denied the medication that he needs. Christian Post.

Jonathan Arnott Will Comment On Paul Sykes - Yorks Section Of Sunday Politics. BBC1.

Paul Sykes will support UKIP in the European Parliament elections [ GETTY]
At the heart of the jungle of European Union treaties, directives and meddlesome edicts is a chilling weasel phrase: “Ever closer union.”
It sounds innocent enough but in reality it is a death sentence for any country that wants to maintain control over its own affairs.
We can see that now over immigration. The vast majority of people are bitterly opposed to lifting border restrictions on Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants.
The vast majority believe that decisions about who enters the country should be taken by our elected MPs at Westminster, not by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.

Get Well Soon, Nigel!

And thank you to all of those who have said how pleased they are to know there is a politician out there with a spine to operate on!Unlike the wonderful cartoon the other day in the Daily Express, I haven't received any cards with a Westminster postmark and nor is there a pint of real ale on the bedside table.I can tell you I am looking forward to popping down to my village local in a few weeks for a pre-Sunday lunch pint.
While I have been bed bound (which I have found exceptionally difficult and I keep getting told off by the nurses for wandering off) my fellow MEPs have been in Strasbourg. Aside from the customary vote to stop the travelling circus between Brussels and Strasbourg – a sop to the French to get them importing British beef again in the Nineties – a few key votes took place.
One was on yet more billions being given to the EU from hard pressed national governments and the other was on gender quotas in boardrooms.
Ukip are opposed to this patronising of women – MEPs and indeed members of their own sex think they need assistance to achieve high positions in business.
Our internal selections for the order of MEP lists in Ukip were carried out by national ballot.
While the highest number of candidates out of the 60 in England were men, what really pleased me were the number of high calibre women who achieved top spots and who stand an excellent chance of becoming a Ukip MEP.
One candidate is Jill Seymour who topped the poll by a considerable margin in the West Midlands and who is already leading the campaign in that region.
She slammed Labour and Lib Dem MEPs for passing this positive discrimination legislation, which could damage British businesses.In her own words: "I was one of the women in Ukip who topped the poll in our MEP selections.
“I was delighted to achieve that through merit, not vote fixing.”
Ukip MEPs put forward amendments to try to weaken the legislation, including opt outs for national governments.
Sadly, these failed.
Diane James was within a gnat's crotchet of winning Eastleigh and I suspect she will be on the green benches before long

Nigel Farage

So rules allowing the fixing of internal elections and recruitment based purely on gender are now at risk of reaching our legislative books.
Jane Collins, another Ukip MEP candidate who holds the No 1 spot in Yorkshire, feels her success in the party’s ballot was special precisely because people had voted for on her excellent track record in two by-elections.
In my own region of the South East, I'm backed up by Janice Atkinson and Diane James, both strong, intelligent women who have made their way in the world through intelligence and hard work, not the patronage of men.
Diane was within a gnat's crotchet (for you Radio 4 fans) of winning Eastleigh and I suspect she will be on the green benches before long.

Cameron: Conviction Politician?

Cameron's principles swivel on a sixpence.

This is a Prime Minister who seems to swivel his ideology on a sixpence whenever it suits him and it is becoming a joke.

CS Lewis.

By Jessica Martinez, CP Reporter

November 20, 2013|1:17 pm

A new documentary that reveals legendary Christian author C.S. Lewis' personal journey to find "evidence of intelligent design in nature despite natural evil" was released today in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Lewis' death.
The 17-minute documentary that premiered on YouTube is one of three short films based on the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society, by author John G. West. Throughout his life, Lewis struggled with what he called the "argument from undesign" – the reality that nature exhibits cruelty and imperfection as well as purpose and beauty – which the film documents. It also features each of his arguments supporting intelligent design – the belief that life was created not by chance but by a higher being, including nature's beauty, morality and functional complexity.
"C.S. Lewis is well-known for defending the existence of God, but he actually struggled for much of his life to see purpose in a universe that often seemed cold and heartless," says West, according to a press release. "In 'C.S. Lewis and Intelligent Design,' we explore the fascinating story of how Lewis became persuaded that design in nature was real."
He adds, "One of the things that may surprise some viewers is just how angry Lewis's atheism could be in his earlier years, including a little-known poem about nature he wrote around the time of World War I titled 'Satan Speaks.'"
Shortly after being discharged from the Army at age 20, Lewis wrote his first book, Spirits in Bondage , and in it, he included the poem featuring a "grim portrait of nature." Christian Post.

The Esther Experience.

Could your church organise and host an Esther Experience event for women in your congregation or home group to raise vital funds for projects supporting persecuted Christian women in Pakistan, Egypt and Iran?

The purpose of the Esther Experience is for Christian women in the UK and Ireland to enjoy time with their friends pampering each other while raising money to help persecuted Christian women. Participants could, for example, offer simple beauty treatments or spend an evening with friends styling each other’s hair. Organisers could charge a small amount for the event or ask for donations towards Release’s work – perhaps a portion of what it would cost to go to a professional manicurist or stylist.

Fiddled Crime Stats Are Not New.

Bye Bye Strasbourg?

BRUSSELS - MEPs backed a single seat for the European Parliament with a thumping majority on Wednesday (20 November).

Deputies backed a report by British Conservative Ashley Fox and Gerard Hafner, a German Green MEP, by 483 votes to 141 and 34 abstentions.

The report, which is not legally binding, does not commit support for either Brussels or Strasbourg. Instead it calls for the European Parliament to use its power under the EU treaties to launch a procedure to change the treaty, with a view to allowing the parliament to decide on the location of its own seat.

Nonetheless, most MEPs favour a single seat in Brussels where the bulk of the assembly's legislative work takes place. EU Observer.

Why has it taken all these EXPENSIVE years?
