VIEWS OF THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER - REASONS FOR VOTING BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY ?

The Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt, warned that the death of “religious literacy” among those who made and administered the law had created an imbalance in the way in which those with faith were treated compared to sexual minorities.

Highlighting the case Gary McFarlane, a relationship counsellor who was sacked by Relate for refusing to give sex therapy to a homosexual couple, he said that the judiciary now went out of its way to protect the rights of minorities.

At the same time, for the first time in British history politicians and judges were largely ignorant of religion and so failed to

appreciate the importance Christians placed on abiding by the scriptures rather than the politically correct values of the secular state.

The Bishop’s concerns were underlined by Lord Woolf, a former Lord Chief Justice, who agreed that in some legal cases the balance had gone “too far” in tipping away from Christians.

His words echo recent warnings from other church leaders about what they perceive as attacks on Christianity.

The critique of the Human Rights Act is likely to fuel the criticism of David Cameron for failing to abide by a pre-election

pledge he made to replace the controversial European rules with a home-grown Bill of Rights.

Other recent high profile legal cases involving Christians include bed and breakfast owners sued for turning away two homosexuals who wished to share a bedroom, and adoption agencies forced by the Government to close their doors after they refused to place children with same sex couples

Bishop Scott-Joynt told the BBC’s World This Weekend: “The problem is that there is a really quite widespread perception among Christians that there is growing up something of an imbalance in the legal position with regard to the freedom of Christians and people of other faiths to pursue the calling of their faith in public life, in public service.

“Probably for the first time in our history there is a widespread lack of religious literacy among those who one way and another hold power and influence, whether it’s Parliament or the media or even, dare I say it, in the judiciary.

”The risk would be that there are increasingly professions where it could be difficult for people who are devoted believers to work in certain of the public services, indeed in Parliament.

“Anybody who is part of the religious community believes that you don’t just hold views, you live them. Manifesting your faith is part of having it and not part of some optional bolt-on.

“Judgement seemed to be following contemporary society, which seems to think that secularist views are statements of the obvious and religious views are notions in the mind. That is the culture in which we are living.

“The judges ought to be religiously literate enough to know that there is an argument behind all this, which can’t simply be settled by the nature of society as it is today.”

Appearing on the same programme, Lord Woolf said that the law should be the same for everyone, regardless of faith or lack of it.

But, he conceded: “We may have gone too far. If the law has gone too far in one direction, then the experience of the law is that it tends to move back.

”The law must be above any sectional interest even if it is an interest of a faith but at the same time it must be aware of the

proper concerns of that faith.

“The law should be developed in ways that, wherever practicable, it allows that faith to be preserved and protected.”

The Bishop’s words echo those of Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, who has put his name to the “I’m Not Ashamed” campaign, which promotes the rights of Christians.

He produced a leaflet earlier this month claiming that Christians of “deep faith” faced discrimination and were “under attack” at the start of a campaign to encourage religious people to “wear their faith with pride”.

The Human Rights Act has come under increasing criticism in recent years for protecting the rights of minorities including criminals over those of the wider population.

Before the general election, Mr Cameron had promised to scrap the Act in favour of a British Bill of Rights, but with the Liberal Democrats supporting the current system, introduced under the last, Labour government, the plans were effectively kicked into the long grass following the formation of the Coalition.

Earlier this month, there was anger after it emerged that a failed Iraqi asylum seeker who killed a 12-year-old girl in a hit and run accident could not be deported because he had fathered children in this country and the Act upheld his right to a family life.

The case followed that of Learco Chindamo, who killed headteacher Phillip Lawrence but escaped deportation to Italy, his country of birth, on the grounds that he had moved to Britain as a child and had a right to remain in this country.

He has since been returnedto jail after allegedly breaching the terms of his licence by being involved in a street robbery.

We know the Lib/Lab/Con won't do anything about this otherwise they would have, instead they LIED to you.

And elsewhere in Governement -

Multi-faith chaplains to make House of Commons more inclusive -

John Bercow has backed the creation of a team of multi-faith chaplains, which will also include representatives of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jainist religions.

Members of the House have expressed surprise at the move, which some have described as "an exercise in politically-correct box ticking".

It could mean that religious leaders of non-Christian faiths will take part in parliamentary ceremonies, though there would need to be constitutional reform to allow them to read the daily prayers.

At present, the Speaker's Chaplain is the only person allowed to say the prayers before each day's sitting and the role has been filled by an Anglican cleric since the office was created in 1660.

The proposal to introduce a multi-faith chaplaincy was made by the current chaplain, the Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, who was appointed by Mr Bercow against the wishes of the Very Rev John Hall, the Dean of Westminster.

10 WAYS CHRISTMAS IS GOOD FOR YOU

In case you haven't already seen it ... after a year of putting up with a constant drone from the miserabilist health lobby, here's the perfect Christmas antidote courtesy of Patrick Basham and John Luik.

10 WAYS CHRISTMAS IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

1. DRINKING ALCOHOL…

There is overwhelming scientific evidence that moderate drinkers live longer than teetotalers. Moreover, the recent Million Women Study in the UK, which looked at the link between drinking and cancer, found that nondrinking women had a higher incidence of cancer than those women who had one drink a day. American researchers found men consuming two alcoholic drinks a day had a 36 percent less risk of developing diabetes.

2. OVEREATING…

There is considerable evidence that one’s longevity is directly linked to one’s plumpness. In a massive study of weight and mortality, Dr Katherine Flegal from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the longest lived were not the thin but rather those who were overweight, a finding confirmed in many other studies. Increases in overweight and obesity have been paralleled by falls in US mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke. And life expectancy continues to increase, despite the supposed massive increase in obesity.

3. FATTY FOODS…

British research has found that high-fat cheeses, such as stilton, protect against tooth decay. They are also rich in cholesterol from which the hormones estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are synthesised. Cholesterol is also essential to the production of vitamin D, which regulates calcium levels. And while at the dining or buffet table, be sure to pile on the turkey. It’s full of tryptophan, which raises the level of serotonin in the brain, which in turn reduces stress, improves mood, and improves sleep patterns.

4. CHOCOLATE…!!!

Few women need a research study to tell them that chocolate boosts mood, activity levels, and even sex drive – well, dark chocolate, anyway. Nevertheless, scientists inform us that dark chocolate may also reduce risk of a stroke or a heart attack. American research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Science found that cocoa, when consumed at doses equivalent to two dark chocolate bars per day for humans, significantly reduced chemical markers for heart disease in a group of lab animals on a high-fat diet.

5. ENJOY BEING LAZY…

The body uses down-time to repair tissues and rebuild immunity. American researchers have found that unrelieved stress can decrease one’s immunity by up to 40 percent. Consequently, Professor Peter Axt argues that time spent lazing around each day is a better way than exercise to ensure you live longer. In On the Joy of Laziness, Axt writes, ‘We always think we have to be doing something but doing nothing … could be better’.

6. OR, WALK IT OFF…

A post-Christmas dinner walk is almost certain to make one feel better. An article published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice found two dozen physiological ailments and psychological conditions that walking may prevent.

7. ALL IN THE FAMILY…

Spending Christmastime with people one loves – assuming that includes one’s family – can improve one’s mental health. Psychologist Edward Diener’s research has found a very strong connection between research subjects’ unhappiness and their poor social relationships. Economist Andrew Oswald controversially theorises that better family relationships would be far better for societal well-being than a financially richer society.

8. LAUGHTER’S STILL THE BEST MEDICINE…

Whether one finds comic relief in a favourite TV programme or a favourite relative, American researchers have found that laughter boosts one’s immune system, reduces tension and stress levels, exercises one’s heart, and releases feel-good hormones in the brain.

9. KEEP THE CARDS COMING…

For most of us, our mood improves when we receive a Christmas card. American research has found that the more Christmas cards we receive, the higher our self-esteem and the better our mood.

10. POWER OF PRAYER…

‘Tis the politically incorrect season, so we would be amiss to ignore a study recently published in the British Medical Journal that found the act of praying slows down one’s breathing rate and has a calming effect on the heart.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL AT WIGAN PATRIOT

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR READERS FROM ALL AT WIGAN PATRIOT

ABSOLUTE POWER---?

The news that the silly old fool Vince Cable had been conned by some pretty young reporters into admitting his dislike of the Rupert Murdoch has ruffled a few Tory feathers.
If it had been some other Limp Dem MPs no doubt a young male reporter would have been used.


Cameron was outraged by Cable's statement and demoted him.
Milliband called for him to be sacked.


Why all this consternation about a minister's opinion of a newspaper owner? It is because the politicians of Labour and the Tories are fearful of Murdoch's power.
This antipodean tycoon at present residing in the USA and having no allegience to any country or cause except his own power, controls much of the media output in Britain and is not reluctant to use this power to further his own interests.
Owning the "Sun" "News of the World", "Times" and much of Sky television his opinion can make or break a political party. No wonder they are so frightened of him.


Tony Blair jetted across America to see him and Cameron has entertained him, but is this concentration of power and influence in one person's hands healthy for democracy?
Seeing the sales of his increasingly downmarket news rags fall he is trying to gain more influence in television to push his anti British views.

Cable's replacement in the negotiations, Jeremy Hunt is known to be a big fan of Murdoch's and no doubt will favour the sharp operating Murdoch in his bid to control the parts of Sky he does not already own.

That the sting was sprung by the Telegraph shows that they realise that the increasing power of the Murdoch conglomerate is a threat to their business and was thus for somewhat self preservation reasons.

BUT, whatever the Telegraph's motives the fact remains that a monopoly of the media is not in the interests of the British people and the major parties are afraid to tackle this ruthless boss of an internationalist nepotistic media empire.

"A DEEP FOREBODING"

THE DANGER OF ISLAM

The dangers of the adherents of this pre medieval barbaric superstition have been shown many times in recent years with bomb attacks the grooming of teenage girls and their general terrorist activities for which they avoid arrest and deportation with impunity using the notorious "Human Rights Act".

This ill thought out act only gives protection to those who wish us harm but leaves us vulnerable.
So frightened are the authorities of these alien terrorists that when an outrage occurs they reassure "the muslim communities" with our taxpayers cash to attempt to bribe them to desist from further terrorist activities but this furthers muslim contempt for us.

Representitives of this alien creed are promoted to positions of power and influence, not on merit but solely on account of their adherence to this creed. It is tokenism at its worst and most dangerous.

As Nationalists we prefer to live among our own European kind but can work sometimes with those of African or Indian origin and even tolerate some who have become integrated and who are no great threat to our society so long as the numbers are kept small.

However with muslims it is a different matter. These aliens do not want to integrate or cooperate, THEY SAY THEY WILL TAKE OVER.

"Islam will rule the world" they say, and all over the world they are actively working to this end.

If you look at the globe, you will see that wherever, without exception islam comes into contact with more gentle or civilised cultures there is strife.

In our country they are coming in increasingly large numbers to suck at the teat of the Welfare State while they continue their programming of outbreeding us.

Even Colonel Gadaffi stated that islam would triumph in Europe as they would outbreed us.

Nick Griffin was lucky to escape jail for being secretly recorded at a private meeting that it is a wicked vicious faith, merely a true interpretations of the facts.

Draw a picture of their paedophile prophet and all Hell breaks loose with death and destruction.

Of course they can threaten death to us in safety while the police arrest those English people who protest.

Convert from islam to another faith, that's a death sentence.

Homosexual,? get thrown off a cliff.

Commit adultery, stoning if you are a woman (even though you were raped)

How much more evidence do our government need that it is a wicked vicious faith,given that 30% of young muslims in Britain believe that killing is justified for their faith?

The trouble is that their numbers are growing exponentially as a result of illegal immigration and their rapid breeding. It is estimated that there are over 2 million muslims in Britain(I think many more). So that means there are 600,000 of them willing to kill us.

Daily they are becoming more vociferous in their demands and open in their contempt for us.

Today I read that the above poster has been put in some areas with the intent of stopping Christmas.

SOME HOPE!

While I agree that Christmas has lost some of its religious flavour it remains a central part of the Christian culture where people celebrate their faith and cement family ties. It is a time of giving and friendship.

How dare these uppity foreigners try to curtail our traditional customs.

The thought that they are predicted on present trends to increase ten fold within 2 decades fills me with dread. What will they be like when the are the majority in all our major cities and can out vote us.

Our country is indeed in mortal danger and still the government will not act.

So what can be done?

Well for a start anybody who has entered the country illegally in the last 10 years should be expelled immediately or as soon as possible together with any British slags who have had children with them and these children.

Of course all benefits to immigrants should be stopped. Think how much money that would save.

All aspects of our country which make them more comfortable such as new mosques and islamic schools should be prohibited, after all Christian churches are not allowed in Saudi Arabia.

All special concessions such as muslim toilets, islamic burial and the wearing of their ugly clothes should cease.

That would be a start. We would have to see how it went on after that and if further measures were needed.

Will it happen? Not while we are in the EU and no doubt that body would put sanctions in place against us. But Russia has a lot of trouble with islamic militants and would make a good ally.

It is said that all muslims are not extremists and I would accept that, but if over 600,000 would kill us for their religion how would we identify the dangerous ones? Therefore the only safe long term goal would be to rid our country of this dangerous group.

If we don't the only two possibilities are being dominated by them or civil war.

Or do our government want these scenarios?

Sometimes I wonder.

WIKILEAKS - 1-IN-3 MUSLIM STUDENTS IN BRITAIN SUPPORT KILLING FOR ISLAM - 40% WANT SHARIA.

Around a third of young British Muslims favour killing in the name of Islam, according to a survey revealed by the WikiLeaks' publication of U.S. diplomatic cables.

A survey of 600 Muslim students at 30 universities throughout Britain found that 32 per cent of Muslim respondents believed killing in the name of religion is justified.

A U.S. diplomatic cable from January 2009 quoted a poll by the Centre for Social Cohesion as saying 54 per cent wanted a Muslim party to represent their world view in Parliament and 40 per cent want Muslims in the UK to be under Sharia law.

THAT'LL BE THE RELIGION OF PEACE THEN ?

Muslims were also found to have the highest disability rates - with 24 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women claiming a disability - while the cable also cited statistics claiming Muslims were also the most likely group to be unavailable for work or not actively seeking employment due to illness, their studies or family commitments.

With nearly ALL Doctors assesing and deciding DLA claims no wonder they get what we can't.
I wonder how many people entitled to DLA who are not of an Islamic bent are refused on Religious and Racial Hatred Grounds against the INFIDEL ?

THAT'LL BE THE SCROUNGING UNGRATEFUL SCUM THEN ?
