Persecution of the church backfires

WHEN Algeria gained its independence from France in 1962, Articles 29 and 36 of the Algerian Constitution allowed freedom of religion and missionary work. As a result more Algerians came to know Christ. This encouraged others in their faith in Jesus and to share it with their family and friends. Some went on to have important positions in society, […]

It’s over – prepare for a future without faith

TOO many Christians in the UK are living with an illusion. Let me tell you plainly: it’s over. The days of being a Christian country have gone, and they are not coming back any time soon. It is imperative that we grasp this. Instead of pretending we are living in a pale imitation of the […]

Oh, the irony! MPs welcome migrant thugs then demand protection from them

IN A rare appearance last week, my local MP Huw Merriman held a public meeting on a controversial Home Office plan to build a migrant camp.  One constituent, frustrated by Merriman’s failure to answer his question, invited everyone against the camp to stand up. Facing almost unanimous opposition, Merriman blustered that he was affording people their democratic rights. But democracy […]

Democracy in Decay: The return of Blair

IN THIS series we have concentrated so far on the dolorous outcomes that our atrophied and dysfunctional system of ‘Unrepresentative Shamocracy’ have meant for the United Kingdom and its people. To a degree, we have sought to explain the cause of the decline in British democracy as the consequence of long-term societal or cultural shifts, […]

Lifeboats sinking in a sea of wokeness

MATTHEW Goodwin has coined a new label – the ‘charity industrial complex’ – a luxury belief class who have no problem with open borders and illegal immigration. In his view such people, awash with a sense of moral superiority, have nothing to feel superior about. No, indeed, but they do give us much to worry about. There is […]

Grant Shapps and the killing of Port Talbot

HERE’S a question for Grant Shapps, our wonderful Secretary of State for Defence and former Secretary of State for Business, Energy Security and Net Zero. How do you propose to make weaponry in the UK without a domestic supply of high carbon steel (that’s the stuff made at Tata’s Port Talbot plant which is now […]

We must wake up from this nightmare of alien control

ALICE Cooper released his dark and disturbing album Welcome to My Nightmare in 1975. The title track could have been penned a few weeks ago, tailor-made as the opening theme song for the recent WEF Davos event. One can picture Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Ursula von der Leyen, Tedros Ghebreyesus and arch-transhumanist Yuval Noah Harari singing along with Alice, grinning in […]

Carbon capture – yet another green white elephant

AMBITIOUS ‘Net Zero’ plans by the Government for Carbon Capture Usage and Storage fail to withstand close scrutiny.  Four carbon capture clusters (CCS) are planned to support the Government’s other costly aims to decarbonise industry and power. These are: HyNet in north-west England, East Coast in Teesside and the Humber, Viking, also in the Humber, and Acorn […]
