The last entirely Christian village in the West Bank, Taybeh, east of Ramallah, has been enduring a wave of attacks and intimidation by Israeli settlers. Hostile acts include setting fire to agricultural lands, cars and the walls of an ancient church, hateful and threatening graffiti, livestock released into the village, not to mention the numerous military checkpoints at the entrances to the town. acninternational.org/taybeh-do-not-…

@ceecuk Cultural sensitivities? Are you talking down? Holding to male only ordination etc is not a cultural sensitivity it’s adherence to scripture and tradition. We can flip the critique and say if CofE evangelicals wish to be truth orthodox they must let go of their compromise.

Imagine thinking that the blood thirsty warmongers who did this to Gaza are "God's chosen people". What an utter perversion of Scripture.

@Spog565523 @YesterdaysBrit1 Of course. The nature of nostalgia is to view the past selectively and through rose-tinted spectacles! And when you add political bias and racial prejudice.....

Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.
In a world of constant change, most of which is not for the good, it's always pleasing to look back at a time when sanity seemed to prevail. For the last three decades Britain has been dragged down and torn apart by a handful of vile and self-serving men and women, who have done more harm to Britain than Hitler ever did in the last war. Because whilst we rebuilt the buildings that were destroyed in the constant air raids over our towns and cities, it's going to be harder to bring back the British way of life that has been gently and deliberately sucked out of the land since Blair stepped up in 1997.

In the name of our national heritage and the unity of these islands, I solemnly denounce the cowardly regime of @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour, whose leaked ‘cohesion’ farce desecrates our Union Jack by labeling it a ‘tool of hate’—a treacherous betrayal by anti-British elites who hate national pride and bow to extremists. This is nothing but the ramping up of their cultural purge on an epic scale; this is OUR country, the millions across this land—from every background, ethnicity, and religion—who stand united under our flag, you faithless cowards! Words fail to express the righteous anger boiling inside! I’ll show you the real tool of hate! It represents a hatred of the British people, British culture, and British nation! Fly the flag high and defy these nation-wreckers! #UnionJackForever

🚨BREAKING… The Union flag has been deemed a ‘tool of hate’ as part of the governments new ‘social cohesion strategy’. Who is writing this strategy?

It seems that since 1968 (which, as it happens, was a very good year) a grand total of ONE Church of England church building has been converted into a mosque after it had been closed for Christian worship for a decade. This is a complete non-issue.
Joseph Boam@Joseph_Boam

Our churches should be given protected status so they are not routinely converted into mosques. They are part of Britain’s Christian heritage and identity. Once a church is gone, it’s rarely restored. Preserving faith buildings matters if we value our history. 🇬🇧

Tourists in London stroll up to 10 Downing Street to have their photo taken. Does anyone remember doing this? Year unknown.

@gavinashenden You seem to be confusing anti-Semitism and holocaust denial (both despicable) with legitimate moral revulsion at the violent and illegal policies and actions of the current Israeli government.

Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️ The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/end-… via @38degrees

'To be a Christian nation is to be an inclusive nation.' Reverend @SteveChalke has an uncomfortable truth for Reform's mission to 'make Britain Christian again'.

@YesterdaysBrit1 But not, sadly, a Thatcher-free Britain. And that's when the rot started. We're still paying for it today.

Nigel Farage has his own private bodyguards paid for by you, while he was an MEP he claimed £10,000 a DAY for his security. It won't be in his expenses, so we need to know WHO is being paid, and HOW much. Can anyone find out?
