The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. - Maximilien Robespierre.

Train Horror As Knife Rampage Leaves 10 in Hospital – Not Terror Attack Authorities Claim.

 Thirty police officers and numerous ambulances rushed to the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) Doncaster to London King’s Cross service after it made an emergency stop in the Cambridgeshire town of Huntingdon as two men of Caribbean descent rampaged through the inter - city train randomly attacking passengers. The attack is believed to have begun shortly after the train left Peterborough. 

In this latest outrage the two assailants, armed with machetes terrorised fellow travellers. Passengers are reported to have hid in toilets as one suspect carried a “big knife”, witnesses said, while others claimed they were trampled on as distressed passengers attempted to flee the chaos.

Armed police descended on the platform and “tasered a man waving a large knife”, bystanders also claimed. 

Videos also emerged on social media showing police cars racing to the scene as armed officers raced to the platform at around 7.42pm on Saturday.

The motive for the attack is not known but there may be a religious element involved as several passengers involved in the attack reported one of the assailents kept saying, "The devil is not going to win." In the most blatant attempt yet to gaslight the public about this type of atrocity which is happening more and more often,the authorities claimed the attack was not terror related.

Britain is at boiling point as once again and civil conflict it closer as the authorities try to cover up the obvious racial and religious elements of this crime, in this case we have witnessed the authorities trying to deflect attention from the elephant in the room by spreading misinformation: they told us that the suspects were "British nationals," that the attack was not though to be terror related and that there was no racial or religious element. 

A month ago we were hearing and seeing the same narrative in the aftermath of another knife weilding madman's attack on a Synagogue in Manchester. The reaction to this latest incident is so reminiscent of the government's idiotic reaction last year to the killing of three young girls in Southport when an attempt to cover up the truth about the killer's background and motove triggered violent protests.  

In the past week alone in the past week alone, a refugee from Afghanistan has been charged with killing a dog-walker and stabbing two other people in Uxbridge, an asylum seeker from Somalia has been jailed for stabbing a bank customer to death in Derby, an asylum seeker from Sudan has been convicted of murdering a female member of staff from his migrant hotel in Walsall by stabbing her with a screwdriver, an asylum seeker from Libya has been jailed for chasing Bournemouth hotel staff with a knife because he didn’t like the free food they’d given him, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan has been found guilty of raping a teenage girl in Elgin, and an asylum seeker from Ethiopia who’d been convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Essex was first accidentally released by prison staff, and then, upon recapture, was gien  £500 by the Home Office in a desperate effort to dissuade him from trying to challenge his deportation. And still they try to tell us talk og an immigration crisis are just a far - right conspiracy theory. 

How stupid to they think we are?

Social media today is full of posts like this:

I don't really care how they label the train stabbings - whether it's terror-related, gang-related, or linked to mental health issues. It doesn't make a difference to the bigger picture, and it doesn't change the underlying reality we face. 
 
Calling someone a British national doesn't inspire confidence either; we have British nationals who can't even speak English, let alone embody the values of this country. Citizenship has become a technicality rather than a symbol of belonging or shared purpose.
 
The truth is undeniable: whether it's terrorism, organised crime, or the result of untreated mental health crises, we are living in a country far less safe than it was 15 years ago and seemingly drifting towards civil conflict. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), knife crime in England and Wales rose by 9% in 2022 compared to the previous year, with over 50,000 recorded offences. 
 
Despite having more laws on the books, we have fewer police officers on the streets to enforce them. The number of police officers per 100,000 people has dropped from 262 in 2010 to 228 in 2023. Our growing population, which now exceeds 67 million, is stretching already limited resources, leaving communities vulnerable and under-protected.
 
Public services are overwhelmed, with NHS waiting lists reaching a record high of over 7.6 million people in mid-2023, and the cracks in the system are widening with every passing year.
 
Our media, which should serve as a watchdog for truth and accountability, is blatantly dishonest. Sensationalism and bias have replaced objective reporting, and the public is left misinformed or manipulated. A study by the Reuters Institute found that only 34% of Britons trust the news they consume, one of the lowest levels in Europe.
 
Meanwhile, our government operates with an increasingly tyrannical approach, prioritising control and optics over meaningful solutions. The opposition fares no better, merely echoing what people want to hear without offering genuine alternatives. They engage in revisionist rhetoric, conveniently forgetting their own failures when they held power.
 
Our capital city, once a symbol of culture and opportunity, is now plagued by violent crime and a steady decline in tourism. London saw a 16% increase in homicides in 2022 compared to the previous year, and reports of thefts and muggings have surged by 25%. The streets that once bustled with visitors from around the globe now carry an air of unease.
 
Economically, we've been a basket case ever since the 2009 financial crash. The so-called recovery was a façade; bailing out bankers and handing out bonuses to the very people responsible for the crisis wasn't real economic repair work. It was a band-aid on a gaping wound, leaving the average citizen to bear the brunt of austerity and stagnant wages.
 
Real wages in the UK have fallen by 3% in the last two years alone, marking the steepest decline in decades.
 
Family life, the cornerstone of any strong society, has been fractured since the lockdowns. The isolation, stress, and disruption caused during that period created divisions that have only deepened over time. A survey by Mind revealed that 60% of adults in the UK reported a decline in their mental health during the pandemic, and the effects are still being felt today.
 
Relationships are strained, mental health issues are on the rise, and the sense of community that once defined neighbourhoods has eroded. These issues are compounded by the failings of self-serving politicians who prioritise their careers over the well-being of their constituents.
 
FROM THE ARCHIVE:
 
The politicisation of the police has further undermined trust, as law enforcement is seen as either ineffective or selective in its application of justice. Trust in the police has dropped to 55%, according to a 2023 YouGov poll, compared to 72% a decade ago.
 
Our education system, once a source of pride, now prioritises protecting certain groups - even their criminal elements - under the guise of multiculturalism. This misguided approach has left many feeling alienated and betrayed, as fairness and accountability are sacrificed for political correctness.
 
In 2022, Ofsted reported that nearly 40% of schools in England were rated as requiring improvement or inadequate in their ability to provide a safe and inclusive environment. The result is a generation growing up in a fragmented society, unsure of its identity and future.
 
Together, these factors have crippled what was once a great nation. A country that once stood as a beacon of stability, opportunity, and unity now finds itself grappling with division, insecurity, and decline. If we are to reclaim what we've lost, we must confront these issues with honesty and a collective determination to rebuild - not just patch up - a broken system.

Why Is The World So Noisy About Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, But So Silent About This Slaughterhouse

 contributed by Chanti Niven, (21 April 2025) who requests that readers please share it:


Protests against genocide of Nigerian christians - source: screenshot



Why is the world so silent?
On Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025, up to 54 men, women, and children—were brutally massacred in Zikke village, Nigeria. Militants, identified by local leaders as Fulani extremists, torched homes and annihilated entire families in a savage, targeted attack. They were not shot to death, they were savagely beaten and hacked to death with Machetes.
Why?!!!
For no other reason, than they were Christian.
It was initially reported that 51 people were killed but International Christian Concern notes 54 deaths. The exact number hardly matters when the blood of innocents still stains the soil. I saw horrific scenes: children still clad in their pajamas, mercilessly killed and left with horrific gaping wounds, some beheaded. This was not just murder—it was an attempt to erase an entire community.
This atrocity is part of a broader wave of violence. In the past couple of months alone, approximately 113 Christians, have been killed in just the Plateau State. Across northern Africa, the toll is staggering: between 50,000 and 75,000 Christians have been slaughtered by militant Islamist groups. In Nigeria, groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militants have waged a relentless campaign.
Fifty thousand.
Seventy-five thousand.
JustL let those numbers sink in.
Many among them were small children, even babies.
Yet, the world barely flinches.
No front-page headlines.
No global protests.
No urgent calls for justice.
Compare this to the outcry about Palestinian deaths following Israel’s retaliation for the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack—marches, hashtags, UN resolutions erupted overnight.
Why the disparity?
Why does it seem that Christian lives in Nigeria are deemed less worthy?
The silence reeks of double standards, and of selective outrage. It makes me wonder if the uproar over Palestine was less about justice and more a pretext for anti-Semitism, a latent hatred waiting to surface. 
If the world really cares about innocent lives, where is the grief for Zikke’s children? These were not combatants. They didn’t attack or kidnap anyone. They were peace-loving families—farmers, worshippers, churchgoers—who sang, served, and lived humbly.
My heart is broken.
All I can think is that many did not know. Surely people would care if they did? If you do care, please share this and show you stand against genocide!

The Situation In Britain Is Getting Very Ugly As The Government Wages War On The People

It has been apparent for a long time that there is a breakdown coming in the relationship between the Government and the people, and things are going to get messy. The election of a labour government to replace the clapped out Conservative in early July only seems to have accelerated the process There will be misery and hardship, there may well be blood on the streets as we sink into civil war. And for most of us the only thing we can do is try to tough it out.

The hostility of both this and the previous Government towards the working and middle classes is going to start soon. It is already apparent to everybody that Starmer’s Labour Party consists of – to use a good old-fashioned word that Orwell would have loved – prigs. The main message we are getting from them is that they are disappointed in us: for driving cars, for drinking alcohol, for wanting to get good educations for our children, for greedily hoarding wealth to pass onto our descendants, for amassing nest-eggs for retirement, for engaging in filthy habits like smoking for voting ‘divisively’ in referendum and most of all for insisting on thinking for ourselves. 

To call them dictatorial would be in a way to give them too much credit; it would be much more accurate to simply call them bossy - its a condition both the political and religious classes have always shared. Another name for it is self righteousness. The image that comes to mind is that of a stuck-up and prissy schoolmaster or schoolmarm in  1950s children’s novel set in a boarding school, the kind of person that prompted the late Bernard Levin to write, "The least amount of authority always leads to the greatest desire to abuse it."   And the new Government’s understanding of the word ‘authority’ is that it derives from the power to do the political equivalent of giving class detentions, confiscating sweets and catapults or withdrawing privileges for refusal to comply with petty rules. Collectively personified as a teacher, the new Cabinet would be the type who mistakes surly, resentful silence for respect, and laments very much the demise of the corporal punishment. On a national level this attitude leads to revolution.

SStürmer is of course a typically narrow minded apparachik of the WEF so once he has been given his orders he will blindly follow them, not least because he has not an ounce of compassion or empathy in his body and seeks only to advance his own interests please his masters. Just check out his CV: defender of terrorits, enabler of rapists, friend of paedophiles, promoter of anti - semitism, enemy of democray, lackey of the public sector Unions, enforcer of Net Zero, advocate of open borders and mass immigration, lockdown enthusiast, wannabe vaccine mandator and gerneral arse.

I make the assumption that beyond their sense of entitlement following election to the H of C most MP’s are still vaguely reminiscent of the ordinary man in the street and with vaguely similar aspirations although post election somewhat inflated; they still retain a degree of humanity. Now for Cultural Marxists humanity and compassion are distinctly surplus to requirements, the aim is to create ‘Us and Them, 'the party' and the poles’

SStürmer has already informed us where his allegiances lie and they are not to the people of Britain so he has no problem following  globalist script but what about the rest of the Cabinet and the grunts, the MP’s? Simple. In order to bring Ministers in particular on board circumstances have to be arranged in which said ministers are hated as much as SStürmer himself is hated. How is this to be achieved?

The solution is being played out before us. SStürmer;s government is enacting policies virtually on a daily basis which are intended to divide and enrage people and destroy the fabric of society. The list is too long to itemise in full but…

Cancelling winter fuel payments, outrageous pay awards to public sector workers, cushy sinecures for labour supporters, ridiculous eco initiatives coupled with nonsense rises in fuel prices, no smoking outside pubs, trans ideology, failure to obtain GP appointments, failing public services, potholes, two-tier policing and justice, unlimited illegal immigration, etc. etc. etc. until they have engineered The Death of Democracy.

Net result the nominal Ministers responsible for the above are genuinely hated by the electorate and are made aware of this. So the scant remains of decency which some in government ministers remained is washed away and they genuinely lose all compassion for the people they were elected to serve. Treating them harshly therefore appears entirely justified and so the business of hurting and perhaps killing can be really ramped up.

The government is being manipulated such that it turns the people against it and it in turn turns against the people. The result can only be mayhem and the result will be bitter and bloody.

Nobody Expects The Politically Correct Inquisition

This blog has reported on the elite's attempts to suppress Free Speech thoughout the democtaic world. All those of us who have been paying attention have read in mainstream news or heard on TV or radio politicians from barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Germany's Angela Merkel, President francois Hollande of France, top EU bureaucrats like Jean - Clause Juncker and Martin Schulz, and non political figures as diverse as financir George Soros and Holloywood luvvie Leonardo Di Caprio calling for the control of news and censorship of the internet to shiut down open debate on topics like climate change, migration and globalisation.

We have also heard of pop scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye the Science Guy and astrophysicist Brian Cox stamping their petuland little feet and demanding that modern science, like the medieval church be protected from critical examination or questioning. We have also seen scientists who go against the dogma of this Church of Sciencology have their reputations destroyed and their careers trashed. And for what? Doing what scientists should do by questioning the orthodoxy.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SCIENCE INQUISITION! as Monty Phython's Flying Circus might have said.

Here's a very enlightening article from Gatestone Institute, written by Douglas Murray that exposes another official attack on free speech and fredom of thought.

Europe's New 'Blasphemy Courts' Exposed

Submitted by Douglass Murray via The Gatestone Institute,
  • Europe is currently seeing the reintroduction of blasphemy laws through both the front and back doors, initiated in a country which once prided itself on being among the first in the world to throw off clerical intrusion into politics.
  •  
  • By prosecuting Wilders, the courts in Holland are effectively ruling that there is only one correct answer to the question Wilders asked. They are saying that if someone asks you whether you would like more Moroccans or fewer, people must always answer "more," or he will be committing a crime.
  •  
  • At no point would it occur to me that anyone saying he did not want an endless flow of, say, British people coming into the Netherlands should be prosecuted. Nor would he be.
  •  
  • The long-term implications for Dutch democracy of criminalising a majority opinion are catastrophic. But the trial of Wilders is also a nakedly political move.
  •  
  • The Dutch courts are behaving like a religious court. They are trying to regulate public expression and opinion when it comes to the followers of one religion. In so doing they obviously aspire to keep the peace in the short term, but they cannot possibly realise what trouble they are storing up for our future.
Europe is currently seeing the reintroduction of blasphemy laws through both the front and back doors. In Britain, the gymnast Louis Smith has just been suspended for two months by British Gymnastics. This 27-year old sportsman's career has been put on hold, and potentially ruined, not because of anything to do with athletics but because of something to do with Islam.

Last month a video emerged online of the four-time Olympic medal-winner and a friend getting up to drunken antics after a wedding.  

The video -- taken on Smith's phone in the early hours of the morning -- showed a friend taking a rug off a wall and doing an imitation of Islamic prayer rituals. When the video from Smith's phone ended up in the hands of a newspaper, there was an immediate investigation, press castigation and public humiliation for the young athlete. Smith -- who is himself of mixed race -- was forced to parade on daytime television in Britain and deny that he is a racist, bigot or xenophobe. Notoriously liberal figures from the UK media queued up to berate him for getting drunk or for even thinking of taking part in any mockery of religion. This in a country in which Monty Python's Life of Brian is regularly voted the nation's favourite comic movie.

After an "investigation," the British sports authority has now deemed Smith's behaviour to warrant a removal of funding and a two-month ban from sport. This is the re-entry of blasphemy laws through the back door, where newspapers, daytime chat-shows and sports authorities decide between them that one religion is worthy of particular protection. They do so because they take the religion of Islam uniquely on its own estimation and believe, as well as fear, the warnings of the Islamic blasphemy-police worldwide.

The front-door reintroduction of blasphemy laws, meantime, is being initiated in a country which once prided itself on being among the first in the world to throw off clerical intrusion into politics. The Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been put on trial before. In 2010 he was tried in the courts for the contents of his film "Fitna" as well as a number of articles. The trial collapsed after one of the expert witnesses -- the late, great Dutch scholar of Islam, Hans Jansen -- revealed that a judge in the case had tried in private to influence him to change his testimony. The trial was transparently rigged and made Dutch justice look like that of a tin-pot dictatorship rather than one of the world's most developed democracies. The trial was rescheduled and, after considerable legal wrangling, Wilders was eventually found "not guilty" of a non-crime in 2011.

But it seems that the Dutch legal system, like the Mounties, is intent on always getting its man. On Monday of this week the latest trial of Geert Wilders got underway in Holland. This time Wilders is being tried because of a statement at a rally in front of his supporters in March 2014. Ahead of municipal elections, and following reports of a disproportionate amount of crimes being committed in Holland by Muslims of Moroccan origin, Wilders asked a crowd, "Do you want more or fewer Moroccans in this city and in the Netherlands?" The audience responded, "Fewer, fewer." To which Wilders responded, "Well, we'll arrange that, then."

Opinion polls suggest that around half the Dutch public want fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands and many opinion polls going back decades suggest that the Dutch people want less immigration in general. So at the very least Wilders is being put on trial for voicing an opinion which is far from fringe. The long-term implications for Dutch democracy of criminalizing a majority opinion are catastrophic. But the trial of Wilders is also a nakedly political move.

Whether or not one feels any support for Wilders's sentiments is not in fact the point in this case. The point is that by prosecuting someone for saying what he said, the courts in Holland are effectively ruling that there is only one correct answer to the question Wilders asked. They are saying that if someone asks you whether you would like more Moroccans or fewer, people must always answer "more," or they will be committing a crime. What kind of way is that to order a public debate on immigration or anything else? People may say, "He wouldn't be allowed to say that about any other group of people." And Wilders himself may not say that about any group of people, because he has his own political views and his own interpretation of the problems facing his country.

It is worth trying a thought-experiment: If Wilders or any other politician got up and asked a crowd "Do you want more or fewer British people in Holland," I may not -- as a British person -- feel terribly pleased with him for asking the question, or terribly happy with the crowd if they chanted "Fewer." Although if British expats in Holland were responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime and disorder in the country, some mitigating sympathy for the sentiment may be forthcoming. But at no point would it occur to me that anyone saying he did not want an endless flow of British people coming into the Netherlands should be prosecuted. Nor would he be.

Like the behaviour of the British Gymnastics association, the Dutch courts are behaving like a religious court. They are trying to regulate public expression and opinion when it comes to the followers of one religion. In so doing, they obviously aspire to keep the peace in the short term, but they cannot possibly realise what trouble they are storing up for our future.

Are The Ruling Elites waking Up At Last To The Problems Caused By Mass Muslim Immigration?



Illegal immigrants try to storm a border checkpoint in central Europe (Image source)

In recent years the topic that has tended to dominate conversations at The World Economic Forum (WEF) held annually at Davos, Switzerland was globalisation, redistribution of jobs and wealth from rich to poor countries and redistribution of people from poor to rich countries. The WEF had been dubbed Bilderberg Lite, a kind of secondary Bilderberg Group meeting to which the public (assuming they can afford £$€stupid for a cup of very mediocre coffee (Davos as a resort does not encourage non-millionaires) is talking about a different matter this time round. Europe's immigration crisis and the similar though not so immediate problem in the USA, and the likely consequences for the economies of the developed world is top of the agenda.

Yesterday news bulletins reported that French Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned that the European Union (EU) could soonvery break up as a result of the migrant crisis that is overwhelming Europe. Addressing delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, M. Valls reminded delegates the EU had not been created as an entity which could withstand "such powerful crises".

Valls said that Europe could not be expected to absorb all the migrants fleeing what he called terrible wars in Iraq or Syria. Pointing out that is was not just a numbers problem, but a question of incompatible cultures and profound religious differences that made necessary the reduction of migrants coming into EU nations. "Otherwise,” he said, “our societies will be totally destabilized."

More than a million migrants arrived in Europe last year, mostly from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa and mostly without even the most basic travel documents such as national ID cards. On Friday (22 Jan) alone, at least 40 people drowned in the Aegean Sea as their boats sank off Greek islands.

In an interview with BBC’s Lyse Doucet, at the summit of global elites in the plush Davos ski resort, Valls said that Europe needed to take urgent action to control its external borders, and that the concept of Europe itself was now in grave danger.

“That’s why you need border guards and controls outside the European Union. Sometimes we had the feeling that borders did not exist. No, borders do exist so you have to protect them,” he said.

“If Europe is not capable of protecting its own borders, the very idea of Europe will be questioned,” he said.

Without offering any practical solution, Valls suggested that unless the conflict in the Middle East and North Africa can be settled, Europe’s migrant crisis will continue.

The French Prime Minister has started a trend it seems. Today another French politician, Finance Minister Emmanuel Macron followed up the warnings by Prime Minister Valls and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who said Europe only had six to eight weeks to resolve the refugee problem.

"When spring comes and the numbers quadruple, we cannot as the EU cope with the numbers any longer," Rutte told news reporters.

Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said EU leaders had overlooked the flood of migrants entering Poland, seeking refuge from the civil war between the government and ethnic Russian separatists in the east of the country. He said the burden not adequately acknowledged in Brussels, the EU capital, by bureaucrats who insisted Poland should take its quota of African and middle eastern migrants.

“We are alone in handling this crisis,” the representative of Poland's eurosceptic government said.

EU foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini spoke against the hypocrisy displayed by EU member states that pledged support for pan - European solutions, only to refuse to implement proposals they claim are 'too generous for refugees'.

Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, said refugees could be an "opportunity" to stimulate economic growth. This only demonstrates how out of touch with reality the ruling elite of the world really are. All European nations face massive economic and unemployment problems as businesses are made uncompetitive in world markets by excessive bureaucracy, and punitive taxes levied in part to bat social benefits to illiterate, uneducated and unemployable immigrants.

During the first six months of 2016, migrants committed 142,500 crimes, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office. This is equivalent to 780 crimes committed by migrants every day. The data includes only those crimes in which a suspect has been caught. Thousands of migrants who entered the country as "asylum seekers" or "refugees" have gone missing. Many are thought to be engaging in robbery and criminal violence.


No Easy Answers For Immigration
The most sensible immigration policy is one that matches demand for labour with supply. While ensuring compassion and capacity for genuine refugees, we should take care that new arrivals looking for 'a better life' do not land in such numbers they become a burden on those that host them.

Church of England Begins Drive to Promote Ethnic Minority Clergy, Accusing Itself of ‘Institutional Racism’



Old white clergymen? Young black choirboys and girls? Looks a bit dodgy from here ...


The Church of England has vowed to fast-track black and ethnic minority clergy into positions of authority, accusing itself of institutional racism. The Church will identify a “talent pool” of ethnic minority clergy this year, who will be mentored with the aim of increasing representation among bishops, deans and archdeacons.

Currently there are five black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) clergy in leadership positions within the Church, of which John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, is perhaps the best well known, the Guardian has reported. In addition, approximately three per cent of the last general synod – the Church’s parliament – were from ethnic minorities. A breakdown of the new synod, which has just been elected, has not yet been released.

The figures are in line with the general makeup of the Church’s professional body – 2.8 per cent of clergy overall are from ethnic minorities. There are no statistics on how many ethnic minority congregants worship within the Church of England each week, but the fact that Pentecostal churches, attended predominantly by black Christians, are thriving has been highlighted by those seeking to make a case that the church is institutionally racist, driving congregants away.

They say that the lack of ethnic minority people at the front of England’s churches puts off ethnic minority Christians from worshiping there, and have called for the Church to be more inclusive. (Source: Breitbart, London)

Church Of England accuses itself of institutionalised racism?

And this incorrigible old atheist has gone through most of his irreligious life thinking self flagellation was just a Catholic thing.

Liberal and socialist guilt addiction brings to mind the "we are not worthy" scene in Wayne's World" which is high comedy but does reflect the kind of inferiority complex inflicted on people by the politically correct, culturally Marxist education provided by state controlled education systems. .

Liberals and socialists are guilty of course, guilty of treason, and they deserve its traditional punishment. Especially since they want to drag us all down to a kind of politically correct hell on Earth in which we are all condemned to spend our lives apologising for the (imagined) sins of our forebears.

Rather than allowing The Church of England to introduce racist and homophiliac employment policies that discriminate in favour of ethnic, religious and sexual minorities, all applicants for the clergy should be required to read The Screwtape Letters by C S Lewis. The story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior tempter. At one point, reference is made by Screwtape to other juniors as to what they will specialize in. One replies, (I write from memory): I will make men believe that Evil does not exist, to which Screwtape replies, You will have every success. We must picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives with the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment.” (C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters)

The Church of England (which was always irrelevant to me and many others) becomes more irrelevant with each day that passes, thanks to the weak, effete, angst - ridden hand-wringing of politically correct bishops and other senior clergy it has seen fit to elevate over the past decades. It is now just one more political enterprise, whose leaders have abandoned the notion of serving communities in favour of serving their own interests and their own self righteousness, much like the majority of registered charity organisations, the directors of which line their own pockets and live the high life on expenses while ensuring very little of the available revenue goes to doing good.

The C of E's problems seem manifold and a total craptangle, until you realise that the fundamental cause is simply that they are no longer primarily Christian. They are definitely religious, but, like the Roman Catholic church and all other hierarchical ecclesiastical organisations which crave political influence in the modern world, any residual commitment to the core values of Christianity itself has to compete with any number of other 'practical' considerations. They are as much the Church of Community Cohesion, The Church Of Multiculturalism, or the Church of Human Rights and Social Justice, as they are a church of believers in Jesus. Worthy, perhaps, but no more Christian than any other philanthropic organisation.

STEM Education and Scientism - the curse of modern education. We need a renaissance

Education, education, education, said Prime Minister Tony Blair. He meant indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination of course. The thing the Politically Correct intellectual bullies of the new left fear most is an educated working class capable of questioning the dogmas of the scientific dictatorship.

In common with Bill Clinton, Gerhard Schroeder and Jaques chirac in his own ear, and Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Francois hollande among the current generation Blair, extolled the benefits of the STEM education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, subjects on which, in the view od politicians, all education should focused from a very early age.

It's bollocks of course, from an early age children need to be given a broad base on which they can later build their specialisations later. The Renaissance education which my generation had the benefit of, was designed to do this. It produced whole, rounded human beings not nerds with heads full off book learning and no life experience, or semi - autistic OCD bell ends who get twithchy if the have not heard the word 'science' for more than thirty seconds.

The values and purposes of Renaissance education were to improve the society, increase the economy, and refine religious beliefs by equipping people to question dogma. The social lives of people were greatly influenced by advancements in education during the Renaissance. More people then ever before were sent to schools and educated.

The Theory of The Renaissance Education or Liberal Arts Education as it is sometimes called was that a broad grounded in language, mathematics, the arts and natural sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) prepares its graduates to pursue a wide range of interests in later life.

Rather than producing highly focused people with a very narrow skill set, the Renaissance Education should equip those who benefit from it to pursue a wide range of interests throughout their lives.
