Spot On, Nigel!
Farage: ‘We Didn’t Free Britain From Brussels Only to Bow Before Beijing’
Nigel Farage said that he fears post-Brexit Britain has swapped one master for another, now being bound by bureaucrats in Beijing instead of Brussels.
NO To Paying Even MORE Tax On Petrol!
THE SUN SAYS
Chancellor Rishi Sunak will commit political suicide if he hikes fuel tax next month.
OUR new Chancellor will commit political suicide if he hikes fuel tax next month.
The cost to Sun readers would be huge. An average family, already shouldering the highest tax burden in decades, would pay an extra £43 a year.
Blogger: Most people have little idea what proportion of fuel costs is tax. They blame the oil companies instead of government.
About 58p a litre - and not forgetting VAT!

Flood Defences Should Take Precedence Over HS2.
From: Peter Hyde, Driffield.
The cost started at £32bn and each year it has increased and is on course to be over £100bn.
It is ridiculous that this Conservative Government is considering spending a vast amount of ratepayers’ money by building a high-speed train line just to get to London 20 minutes’ sooner.
The money would be better spent on building better flood defence walls. With the storms that we have had, my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Mytholmroyd, Elland and Todmorden who once again have been put through upset owing to the floods. Yorkshire Post.
Surely Left and Right Could Agree On This Point.
‘Gravy train’ House of Lords should be scrapped as upper house ‘passed its sell-by date’
VOTERS have emphatically demanded the House of Lords should be scrapped in an exclusive Express.co.uk poll that leaves no doubt readers think the upper house "has passed its sell-by date".
Have You EVER Seen Irony Like It?
In a sign of rising tensions, French Europe minister Amélie de Montchalin, accused the UK of attempting to “blackmail” the EU into accepting a poor deal.
Kingdom of Heaven. (Hutterites.)
I watched this programme with great interest, especially noting when the interviewer made a comparison to Hutterite lives and communism. The leader of the featured community agreed.
Thinking was for leaders; women were subservient; nobody had any element of choice; people were forced into whatever work was deemed important for the community; there was no personal decision-making permitted; all personal choices had to be submitted to the leadership; each person had their needs met but was given $4 per month for fripperies or things not seen as essential.

Naturally enough, any such communist venture would have to expunge the religious element - but as they were all following a false gospel in the first place - that would matter little. A 'faith by works' gospel is no Gospel at all.
False religion could merely be replaced with socialist dogma.
As the individual was deemed to be nothing more than a mere cog in the mighty machine, I found the concept terrifying, suffocating and wholly contrary to the Scriptures.
This was not what Acts 2 was talking about.
Unlike a communist system - the victims did have the option to leave - but that meant almost total severance from their families.
All youngsters today should be forced to watch this programme to show just how awful extreme socialism is in practice. (Do remember too that this group had good intentions - not something most marxists could ever be accused of having.)
The leftist bias educated into our young people would soon wither and die away.

Militant Islamists - As Hate-Filled As Any Hardline Leftist.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom is raising concerns over unconfirmed reports that authorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are threatening the destruction of the tomb of Esther and Mordechai in response to President Trump’s Middle-East peace plan.
The tomb is believed by some to be the resting place of the Old Testament queen Esther and her relative, Mordechai. Esther was the queen of the Persian King Ahasuerus. She is credited with helping save the Jewish people from being massacred.
The tomb is a popular pilgrimage site for Jews and Christians in Iran.
Interesting Conversions.
In Sheffield, I keep hearing of Iranians converting to Christ.
This is not strictly true, as far as I am able to gather - these are largely Kurds.
Excellent, Mr Frost!
The right to set laws to suit Britain isn't up for debate... it's the WHOLE point of Brexit, says Boris's chief negotiator DAVID FROST.

Postmodernism, also spelled post-modernism, in Western philosophy, a late 20th-century movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power.
