I'm afraid the police are on the wrong side here... ...supporting the people who are carrying out a very offensive act

Any country that strikes oil, has trillions of m3 of gas under their feet, along with hundreds of years of coal reserves and ends up with a population of people living in border line fuel poverty, it's government that has failed them .....

Martin Daubney just made a great point. Trump got the bust of Churchill put back in the White House. The Bank of England want to remove Churchill from the five pound note. Says it all really. Trump is more for Britain than the British establishment.

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.

In the past few years, there have been TWENTY Iranian plots foiled in the UK by the security services. This week, 4 Iranians were arrested for targeting British Jews. Yet, the PM pretends it’s not our fight. Islamic fundamentalism threatens the free world.

Theresa May was one of the most destructive politicians we’ve ever had. She ruined the police. She tried to ruin Brexit. She saddled us with the catastrophic 2050 net zero target. Now it transpires she wrecked our critical gas storage facility. Like Starmer, she may as well have been an overseas asset.

Imagine the reaction if this was another group riding through a city wearing armbands. It would be national news for a week.

I really don’t want to hear any morality lectures from this grandstanding grifter, who threw the subpostmasters under the bus, whilst lining his own. pockets. #EdDavey #AndrewMBW

If a Brit had been asleep in a coma for the past 30 years and woke up today, they’d assume the country had suffered some kind of catastrophic defeat - demoralised, ruinous taxes, arrests for opinion, low living standards, open borders, crumbling infrastructure, officials answering to outsiders not voters, one sided treaties….

Why the hell are so many people still voting Labour??? The 6% that are voting Conservative should vote Reform instead. Its obvious Conservative arent going to win & the last thing we want is Labour or Greens winning. I feel sorry for the people of Gorton & Denton if the Greens win, i reckon they will be worse than Labour...

If this is accurate it’s neck & neck! 😬Reformers please get out and help in Gorton & Denton 🩵 #VoteMatt

“This is Whitechapel. This is a Muslim area.” Listen to the sheer, breathtaking entitlement. A mob of blokes surrounding a lone female police officer on a British street, demanding she act as their personal blasphemy enforcer because someone dared to offend their religion. It’s almost like Sir Jim Ratcliffe had a point?

If only the BBC had covered the Grooming Gangs with the same vigour as they are covering former prince Andrew. Just imagine how many young girls could have been saved.

I despise this horrific religious entitlement. Years of accommodating Muslims who think they have a right not be offended has caused huge division in the UK. I see no sign of this getting better. Bloody well done to this young police officer. 👏 We need more of her: calm, clear, unafraid. @elonmusk

For the next week, I will be a real bore. Gorton and Denton If you want to win VOTE REFORM If you want to win ACTUALLY VOTE. Come on REFORM voters show them, what you are made of.

I really don’t need any lectures on the virtues of free trade from you — especially since this is nothing to do with free trade. We already have a free trade agreement with the EU. This is about subjecting food, farming and agribusiness to Brussels rules and court rulings over which we will have no say — at a time when we should be planning for more self-sufficiency in food and allowing our world-beating biotech to continue unhindered by Brussels over-regulation. Your government has already done enough damage to farming to last a lifetime. Now you want to do even more. And all because cosying up to the EU is your comfort blanket.

We already run a massive trade deficit with the EU on food and agricultural products. This deal will make that deficit even bigger. I will also place UK food and agribusiness under EU rules, regulations and ECJ court judgements once more, processes in which this time we will have no say. And it will undermine UK technological advances in agriculture, in which we are becoming world leaders, because it returns such research to the dead of Brussels’ ‘prudential’ approach, which regards all innovation as a risk unless it can be proven otherwise. Hugely retrograde for UK, huge win for EU.

This is desperate stuff. Is this the same ‘outstanding chancellor’ who inherited a 2% inflation rate in July 2024, managed to almost double it within 12 months with huge public sector pay rises and massive tax rises on business costs and has only now seen it come down to 3%, still 50% above her inheritance and the official inflation target? And still the highest inflation in the G7. Yes, I feared it was. Exactly for what does she deserve credit? I expect inflation to return to 2% early summer, simply back to where it was when she became chancellor. And that will be due to global price trends rather than anything she’s done. So two wasted years to get back to where we were — two years which prolonged the cost of living crisis left by the Tories.
