@Free_ByTheSea Yeah I’m sure the King will be taking bags of notice of a self appointed Bishop and YouTuber.🙄

Wow! This letter to the King is superb. I’m sure millions of us would sign it. ‘What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state.’ This is horribly true, and it’s high time the King acted as the Defender of the Faith.
Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC@BishopDewar

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

@Chicago1Ray @ShawnRyan762 @joekent16jan19 I agree with Ezra Cohen. You can relay your objections to the president in confidence and your disagreements but POTUS is the CIC. You resign private particularly at this precarious moment for national security.

@afneil Boris Johnson employed the very same strategy leading up to the Election then throughout his entire time in office? With deadly consequences for thousands of people.

I am baffled as to why consistently behaving like a total prat is regarded as a sensible election strategy. I’ve never seen the thinking behind it explained The Lib Dems have more MPs than they’ve had for a long time. It’s a solid base on which to build, especially given Labour’s woes. But this is not the way to do it.

It is recognised that a minimum of 13 Post Masters committed suicide as a result of the Post Office scandal. This man has no shame and should not be in public office

For the sake of accuracy, Aberdeen hasn’t just lost 1000 jobs! The number you may have seen in the news refers to an estimated rate of job losses across the UK North Sea sector, not a single redundancy announcement. That includes: •offshore workers •engineering and service companies •supply chain jobs in places like Aberdeen, Shetland, and other North Sea hubs. Also there is no data showing that the jobs lost were all British workers. The North Sea workforce typically includes: •UK nationals •EU workers •international specialists (e.g., drilling engineers, subsea engineers) Oil and gas projects often operate with multinational crews, especially offshore, so redundancies, if they materialise, would affect mixed nationalities, not just British workers.

Why did Faisal Islam not ask Miliband why we pay Norway up to £40 BILLION a year for oil and gas they drill from the North Sea? Norway’s oil fields are next to the UK’s. We are still using fossil fuels. Just not our own. Madness. @faisalislam
BBC Breakfast@BBCBreakfast

'We will not tolerate unfair practices including price gouging' Energy Secretary Ed Miliband spoke to #BBCBreakfast about whether energy firms are profiteering from the rising price of oil and the competition watchdog is primed to step in to prevent petrol price "rip-offs" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

First and foremost, what we pay Norway and what we pay for Oil from U.K. grounds, is the same; similar quality of oil, same global pricing. Secondly, you say “our” oil - once it’s out of the ground it belongs to Shell plc, BP, Equinor and TotalEnergies. None of these are nationalised assets and they are free to trade as they wish - in fact most of “our” oil is exported. The U.K. benefits from tax on profits and licence fees. So tell me, how is taking more oil from our oil fields going to help with energy security and lower prices? And even if we did, where are we going to refine it. Refineries such as those operated by Phillips 66 (Humber) and ExxonMobil (Fawley) are designed to run efficiently on specific crude blends. To optimise output they need: •Heavier crude oils •Different sulphur levels •Particular chemical compositions U.K. fields produce higher quality “sweet/light” crude for cars, etc but we export it for refining. Light crude naturally produces more petrol and jet fuel, while heavy crude (which we don’t have in the North Sea) provides the raw material for diesel, asphalt, heavy fuels, lubricants, and petrochemical feedstocks after additional refining. Which all said means 1) Not all oil is the same 2) You need to refine oil after it’s landed 3) Oil is subject to global pricing 4) Once out of the ground, it belongs to the drilling companies not the U.K. If you want energy security, then you have to have multiple sources…. We are taught this lesson about every ten years but govt after govt continues to make the same mistakes.

@wilo1466 @AllisonPearson @Ed_Miliband Why? You seem to be doing a lot of shouting without having any understanding of the subject you’re shouting about Steve? I’m sure we’d all love to hear how you reach a conclusion that not a single uk economist would agree with? Enlighten us all with your economic wizardry Steve!

Even before war, UK had highest electricity prices in the world. Because of the insane pursuit of net zero and failure to exploit our own oil/gas. Instead, we pay Norway £40 billion for oil and gas extracted from North Sea fields next to ours. Never forgive @Ed_Miliband

Hector McNeil@Hector_McNeil·
Completely clueless. None of the North Sea gas or oil is the UKs and none of it is a solution for our reliance on global markets. All is sold on overseas markets and refined outside the UK as the Tories let all our refining capacity go. So we buy our or other supply on the global markets at global prices so no matter how much we have it makes zero difference. Norway is very different. It owns its own oil and gas and sells on world markets but is 100% reliant on renewable energy. What’s clear is we now generate over 50% every day from wind, nuclear, solar and hydro and that isn’t sold or bought on global markets. So what is very clear to anyone who has a brain cell is that we need more renewables self produced underpinned by nuclear to break our reliance on gas on oil from our North Sea fields or anywhere else as it doesn’t matter. And thatcher is to blame as she sold off state companies like BP unlike Norway tha still owns 67% of equinor (formerly statoil). Luckily we do produce 67% on average daily domestically from renewables. We need to do more not less.

@AllisonPearson @Ed_Miliband It’s like the UK and Norway own half a swimming pool and Norway is extracting the water at their end and selling it to us at a profit. As a consequence: The UK’s backward, naive and gullible approach is skint; and Norway has a trillion dollar plus sovereign wealth fund…

Warrington Labour MP for Warrington North Charlotte Nichols bravely waived her right of anonymity and spoke publicly for the first time about being raped. And this was the response from a #Reform twat. That's everything #Reform, right there.
