PACMA.

The Spanish animal welfare group, PACMA, is agitating to see bullfighting banned.

This Blog wishes them every success and hopes that the EU will stop offering indirect financial help to this appalling practice by giving subsidies to farms which raise fighting bulls.

Heath Was A Traitor And Probably NOT A Pervert!

It is extremely unlikely that pointless police investigations into Edward Heath's conduct with young boys can reach any conclusions.

This odious individual has been dead for 12 years! Why waste the time and money?

By his own admission he deceived the British people into joining what he confessed to knowing 'was not just a Common Market'.

This treasonous individual should have faced execution for the damage done to this nation; his deceits; his preparedness to sell us out to foreign governments.

Porridge: No Real Surprise!

The amazing truth about porridge? Experts say it's better for you than STATINS

Eating a simple bowl of porridge every day could transform the health of the nation, in one single step, say nutrition experts. Mail.

St Peter's Bones.

Bones that allegedly belong to St. Peter, one of Jesus Christ's apostles, who is also considered by Roman Catholics to be the first pope, have been uncovered at a 1,000-year-old church in Rome.

The Telegraph reported on Monday that a worker found the bones inside clay pots at the Church of Santa Maria in Cappella in the district of Trastevere.

The pots were apparently buried beneath a large marble slab near the medieval altar of the church, which has been closed for 35 years due to damage.

I remain to be convinced that Simon Peter died in Rome. I need to be convinced that he even visited that city. For once, perhaps, Channel 4 got something right about Christianity. Even so - his was a most common name and I have not read that there is any more positive evidence.

Tax Dodgers MUST Be Stopped!

To the biggest come the biggest rewards - and it must end.

Published Sep, 2017

Revelations on the commons Public Accounts Committee about the way in which online retail giants dodge tax payments have been slammed by UKIP.

UKIP Small Business spokesman Ernie Warrender put the full weight of UKIP behind the call for on line retailers to behave like all other retailers and charge VAT.

"Having spoken to many people it is apparent the system does not work. Parcels and goods from the USA seem to attract the attention of HMRC, parcels from countries like China do not. This gives them a 20% price advantage that is both unfair and, in a country where our Government needs every single penny of tax (Because they spend it so wisely??) British businesses, particularly smaller businesses and start ups, are being put at a huge disadvantage.

"Every British retailer must charge VAT. Just enforce that law on Amazon, Ebay, and the other big boys"

You Pay A Price For Allowing Apostate Elements To Thrive!

Massive collapse in number of Anglicans in Britain, new survey shows.

The number of Anglicans in Britain has collapsed by 50 per cent in under two decades, according to figures released today. Fine. What else can you expect from a church which tolerates apostasy in its midst?

The latest British Social Attitudes survey's data on religion show that the number of people in Britain who describe themselves as having no religion at all is also at its highest ever level. Thanks A Bunch, CofE!

More than half, 53 per cent, of the British public now describe themselves as having 'no religion'.

This is up from 48 per cent in 2015. Christian Today.

'Borrowing' - ???

Boris Johnson has laid out his vision for Britain's departure from t.he Britain will spend £350million a week on the NHS

“Once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of roughly £350m per week. It would be a fine thing as many of us have pointed out if a lot of that money went on the NHS, provided we use that cash injection to modernise and make the most of new technology...

"One of the advantages of investing in the NHS – if we combine that investment with reform – is that we can turbo charge the role of our health service in driving bioscience."

The UK will not pay to access the EU single market

“We would not expect to pay for access to their markets any more than they would expect to pay for access to ours.”

The door will not be slammed on migrants

“We will have an immigration [system] that suits the UK, not slamming the door – but welcoming the talent we need, from the EU and around the world. Of course we will make sure that business gets the skills it needs, but business will no longer be able to use immigration as an excuse not to invest in the young people of this country.”

Taxes will be reformed – and the ‘tampon tax’ axed

“We should seize the opportunity of Brexit to reform our tax system. Andy Haldane the Bank of England's chief economist argued in 2015 that our system is currently skewed so as to discourage investment.

"He believes that reform could raise output by around 20 per cent.

“Outside the EU there are obvious opportunities – in agriculture, fisheries, in the setting of indirect taxation.

"At the stroke of a pen, the Chancellor will be able to cut VAT on tampons; often demanded by parliament but – absurdly – legally impossible to deliver.”

Britain will be able to become a “champion” for free trade

“We will be able to get on and do free trade deals, to campaign for free trade that has lifted billions out of poverty and that so badly needs a new champion.”

Old friendships with Commonwealth countries will be renewed

“We will be able to intensify old friendships around the world, not least with fast-growing commonwealth economies, and to build a truly Global Britain.”

Brexit will be a success

“This country will succeed in our new national enterprise, and will succeed mightily.”

Foreigners could be prevented from buying homes in Britain

“It is often pointed out that the price of housing in certain parts of London may be increased by buyers from overseas. But there is no point in putting any kind of tax on foreign buyers, because the inhabitants of 27 other countries cannot legally be treated as foreign.”

Britain will borrow more to pay for the “infrastructure it deserves”

“We should use the opportunities afforded by historically low interest rates to give this country the infrastructure it deserves – and especially in London, the most dynamic and productive urban economy in Europe, where things seem frankly to have gone a bit quiet since the departure of the last Mayor.”

Work on gene therapy will be accelerated

“We will be able to accelerate our work on gene therapy – an infant science, now taking its first faltering steps, whose potential is gigantic.”

Dual The Whole Of The Wretched A64! (The Money Is There!)

Andrew Suter, Far View, Ampleforth.

I REFER to the Government’s decision to place the A303 going past Stonehenge into a tunnel at a cost upwards of £1.6bn to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the historic site.

For this money, the A64 could be dualled all the way from York to Scarborough. The peace, tranquillity and health of thousands of people would have benefitted on a daily basis as villages along the route were bypassed.

It is no surprise that Scarborough is in the top 10 UK towns for bankruptcy with the current chronic transport links it suffers.

What a shame the councils along the route haven’t got English Heritage fighting their corner.

The A64 issue is a national disgrace and politicians should hang their heads in shame over the lack of investment in it.

Christian pro-lifers condemn secret ballot over relaxing abortion laws
