Motorway Mess.
Put 'remove-by' dates on road signs to end confusing clutter, say ministers: Consultation paper sets out plans to clean-up the nation's highways
Research by the Department of Transport found that the number of
traffic signs has doubled in the last 20 years, to the point that many
are now confusing, distracting and dangerous. Mail.And how much better still if they were to reduce the 50 mph limits on motorways to those places where they are demonstrably needed.
A Less Joyful Culture
D J Webb
Looking back on my schooldays, when there was no multi-culturalism and very little promotion of any other –isms or –phobias, it is clear that the left-wing shrieking that passes for political discussion now has impaired our culture. The UK is wearing to live in, notably because of the constant political propaganda. Left-wing cultural deconstruction has sapped the joy out of our culture.
In many—non-Western—countries, the population retains an uncomplicated relationship with traditional culture and national identity. In China, for instance, a country that had its own Maoist, extremist phase, Chinese people are not yelled at for being pro-Chinese or for enjoying China’s traditional culture.
Social bonds.
This makes sense, as culture is, fundamentally, a bond that unites people in a nation and keeps society healthy. It would spoil family life for members of a family to spend Sundays denouncing the family’s common pursuits. A family whose members did not wish to spend time together is a family that has become dysfunctional. Similarly, British culture, including our architectural, religious, literary and artistic culture, as well as our language, is something that we all ought to enjoy. It’s a glue that unites people in Britain. It’s something that makes social life meaningful beyond economics and money.
When we’re told that immigrants have “integrated” because they hold jobs, it is being suggested to us that we live in an economy, but not in a society and not in a culture. I’m sure there are many immigrants who work in the UK and pay taxes here. But just as you work to live, rather than live to work, the economy and the labour market are there to fund social and cultural life and paying tax is not all that integration means.

Saeed Abedini - Well Done, Ted.
Ted Cruz Shares Stage With Saeed Abedini's Wife at Religious Liberty Rally; Says Husband Won't Deny Jesus for Freedom
Fresh off the heels of his confrontation with Hollywood actress Ellen
Page over LGBT issues, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted
Cruz sought to rally Evangelicals in Iowa and sat down for a discussion with
Nagmeh Abedini, the wife of Saaed Abedini, who has been imprisoned by Iran since
2012. Christian Post.
Verminous Boko Haram.
A Nigerian pastor and president of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria
has said that Boko Haram has killed as many as 8,000 members of the
congregations he oversees, destroyed 70 percent of his churches, and left most
of the pastors under his care without a job.
"Seventy percent of our churches have been destroyed in Adamawa, Yobe and
Borno states by Boko Haram; over 8,000 of our members were killed; one hundred
and seventy-six of the girls kidnapped in Chibok are our members," the Rev.
Samuel Dali said, according to Naij.com.
It is my firm belief that groups such as these
should be exterminated. It is the righteous thing to do. Some
may be offended by my referring to them as 'vermin' - but Christians cannot run
from reality and "By their fruits we know them." Even so, as
Christians caught up in a complex theological position, we must never fail in
our duty of love and must continue relentlessly to pray for salvation for the
evildoers.
Many outside evangelical circles would see this as some
sort of paradox - but it is merely following God's
Word.
Muslims Receiving Preferential Treatment?
Franklin Graham Objects to New $250K Muslim Prayer Room at Orlando International, Asks 'Why Do Muslims Get Preference?'

Airport unveiling a new Muslim prayer room that cost $250,000 in taxpayer money

Our INSANE Immigration Policy.
Oxford University experts predict that the figures
will confirm the population landmark has been reached, with one in eight UK
residents born abroad.
The Office for National Statistics bulletin is also
likely to show net migration is at a record high. It follows years of migrants
flooding in because of Labour’s open-door border policy, which the last
coalition government failed to stem.
The shock figures do not include numbers for illegal
immigrants.
Ukip blamed the EU freedom of movement rules for
Britain’s soaring foreign population.
The party’s migration spokesman Steven Woolfe said:
“These numbers show the impact of uncontrolled EU migration on our
country.
