When Cowards Attack Us

So once again the feckless and liberal courts of the UK have let down the man in the street, by striking down the only protection from gang attack we still had. This was the law which has allowed people to be convicted of murder, even if they did not inflict the fatal blow i.e. We didn't need to prove which of the several blows raining down on the victim from the group of attackers was the fatal blow.

This joint enterprise law was brought in to mainstream after the (then usually black London) teen gangs took to mass attacks (usually on lone victims), either for the purposes of robbery, to teach them 'respect', or in revenge for something. Its use allowed those defendants who "could" have foreseen that violent acts by their associates which were likely to take place, to be charged with the end results of those violent acts.

Road To Hell

The BBC is covering the Middle East stories with all its usual biases in full and open display:

• Pro Muslim
• Anti Israeli
• Anti Christian

It wrings its hands over every 'Palestinian' Arab casualty at the hands of the Israelis, with pictures of babies crying in every shot. It devotes thousands of reporting hours on the TV, Radio and the Web, to what is effectively a propaganda campaign for Hamas.

But it is hardly 'balanced' in its reporting, as it rarely points out that:

1. The Gaza Arabs voted for Hamas, a prescribed terrorist organisation, to be their government.
2. That for many years Hamas has launched several rockets daily at Israel - this blog covered the same issue way back in 2008. Or that if that had been say, Scotland launching rockets at England, no one would be surprised that England retaliated, and the BBC would have to support that retaliation or be closed down.
3. They rarely dwell on the 'human shields' policy of Hamas - launching rockets from school playgrounds, or hospital car parks etc, is illegal, but the BBC says almost nothing.
4. The fact that the BBC hasn't been able to report from Gaza in decades, because they would be kidnapped by Hamas (or other equally nasty terror groups who find havens in Gaza), and that its only now able to do so, because Hamas wants them to serve as its propagandist mouth pieces. A role the BBC is apparently happy to fulfil.

Nazis and Hamas - what's the difference if your Jewish?

On the first point (1) - The Nazi party was voted into power in Germany ... however I don't recall hearing that the BBC were ever crying over German casualties during the second world war ... or about them ever ignoring the concentration camps.

The Road to Hell is Pathed with Good Intentions

Irregular readers may think that I am solely down on Islam, but regulars to this blog will know that I am less than impressed with all religions generally, and have discussed the ludicrous aspects of all the main religions, from Judaism, to Christian Creationists, as well as any of Islams nastier practises that come to my attention.

But one Christian organisation in particular, always attracts my interest, and that's the homocentric, decrepit and moribund Church of England. Just recently they have been out of the news and my interest had waned somewhat, but now they have a "cunning plan" to get more people into Churches ...... under this new plan, unmarried couples with children will now be able to baptise their children and get married at the same time. Wow, lets throw that Bible out again!

The Church says it is responding to a real demand, and denies that the change will undermine its teaching on the sinfulness of sex outside of marriage..... but then why worry about that, when 'Gay' Bishops abound within the church?

Yes the homosexual clerics row still rumbles on, with the lifting of a temporary ban on appointing gay bishops in the US, causing more cracks to appear in the plaster that the C of E tried to put over the issue. This could lead to an increase in support for a motion at the Church of England's General Synod, to declare fellowship with the breakaway Anglican Church of North America (ACNA). The ACNA is a union of traditionalist groups which split from the Episcopal Church.

What a shambles ...... it’s because the C of E can't stick to even the Bible as 'The Word' of its God, that its such an irrelevance to so many in the UK. The Catholics and Muslims have no problem with keeping the basic message the same (whether you agree with it or not) but the C of E is heading inexorably in to becoming a PC parody of a religious organisation, headed by a vociferous sexual minority & with no sense of moral purpose anymore.

Religions aren't meant to follow the latest Western social trends.
