Teresa Villiers is again missing the point about the protests in Northern Ireland and joining the ranks of the politicians with blocked ears an awful lot of not listening Hilary Clinton! It's happening in this country. Point is this protest is about the restoration of the Union Jack on Belfast City Hall and the erosion of freedoms in the Unionist community their desire to remain British not about ...terrorist had it been about terrorism there would have been much more aggression surely? They are using the tool available to them to make protest and their desire to be served and treated with respect, to be heard. The marches have occurred the police bill huge who is not listening and using wisdom The Politicians!!! It is a scenario of bending people's will instead of freedom of choice nd preference. You may argue majority vote but that is questionable. David Cameron or William Hague must now listen and be present at discussions between these two sides after all Hilary and Bill were quick to intervene in this country's domestic affairs. Time for Britain to be concerned about what is happening in the United Kingdom or there will be no United Kingdom left. Serious times.

The commentator on France 24 presumed that Britain would not recognize the current demonstrations in Belfast regarding the removal of the Union Jack from Belfast City Hall. He should not be permitted to make such presumptions on worldwide TV until he is in full knowledge of the facts of what is happening in Northern Ireland. He should not be "taking sides " most of these protests have been peacefu...l except incited by nationalist intrusion whose culture is so totally different from the Unionist. These men are not terrorist they are Loyalist to the teachings of their Faith and to their Queen who is Head of the Faith.It is time for Politicians to listen. Secterianism is excessive devotion to a particular cult or religion. The Protestant Faith is a tried and tested faith and in this era it is being put to the test yet again it is not a cult or weird kind of religion it has been very tolerant and now being pushed into action against the wrong and indifferent decisions of politicians. The media is trying very hard to paint a wrong picture of loyalism unsuccessfully. Many of these Protestants are being pushed into Ghettos similiar to the Jews during World War 2. There is many more issues to be discussed apart from replacing the flag. Time to listen Mr.Cameron or there will be no United Kingdom left.

Christianity,New Converts and Ancient Blasphemy Laws

The case of the little Pakistani Girl has touched hearts todo mundo. I think it could be summoned up in one word courage. Courage of the girl and her family knowing beforehand the fate before them if they were found to desert Islam and go the way of the Infidels. Much more than George Galloway M.P is showing by remaining silent on what is current issue and much needed interaction with the Muslim Community regarding "issues which affect us all." Eliz11.  The responsibility and obligation of the Christian world to protect new converts in precarious situations needs reviewed. No use saying martyr and all the pious platitudes offered up. The apostle Paul himself was warned of impending mischief and fled the city. Surely until these laws and the people educated regarding these ancient laws in the Moslem Communities are brought to an understanding of the horrific and barbaric nature of these executions it is wrong to even try in the present climate to have a Church set itself as a target.
BBC News Q&A March 2011 (Source)
A large majority of Pakistani people support the idea that blasphemers should be punished, but there is little understanding of what the religious scripture says as opposed to how the modern-day law is codified. The response to recent events suggests that they largely believe the law, as codified by the military regime of General Zia-ul Haq back in the 1980s, is in fact straight out of the Koran and therefore is not man-made. The organised religious groups are promoting this view and have been able to mobilise mass support in their favour. Their highest point came when the assassin of Governor Salman Taseer was hailed as a hero by a large section of people across the country.

Hardline Islamic parties strongly oppose any alteration of the blasphemy laws

Why do the authorities appear reluctant to amend them?

Amending the blasphemy laws has been on the agenda of nearly all the popular non-Islamic parties of the country. But none of them has made much progress - principally because of the sensitivities over the issue, but also because no major party wants to antagonise the religious parties which have on numerous occasions proved capable of bringing large numbers of protesters onto the streets. In 2010, a member of the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Sherry Rehman, introduced a private bill to amend the blasphemy law. Her bill sought to change procedures of religious offences in such a way that these offences would be reported to a higher police official rather than the usual police station chief. In addition the cases would be heard directly by the higher courts instead of going through the local courts first. The bill was passed on to a parliamentary committee for vetting. It was withdrawn in February 2011 under pressure from religious forces as well as some opposition political groups. Given the growing religious conservatism in Pakistan, the government is wary about losing public support over the issue, correspondents say.
 Christian Leaders will be meeting as to how best to address this now urgent issue.

Old Time Religion and Gay Marriage Issues.

The rush back to old time religion is usually a reaction to confusion and fear, fear of change,fear of new, fear of the future.  Joyce MacMillan  Scotsman 09/03/12

Might be a good idea if we all dropped the coffee,collected the kids, into the car and stopped off at the local house of worship, open the Good Book and found out what exactly is being said there and what exactly the churches are advising or instructing the flock. Or would it? Do we really want our children to be caught up with these kind of issues and start asking us questions. Femme Internationale stand is a No children should not be involved but they already are if someone asks why they have two Daddies or two Mummies and/or ask why does your mummy look like a daddy my mummy looks different. Wonder if the gay community has ever considered this or is it a selfish pursuit of what I want, when I want it and it's who I am and I have a right. The immediate defense and almost intimidation by the gay community aimed at those with different views is at present unacceptable.  Is it a case of revenge is sweet? Society tolerated difference. Lots of individuals outside religious institutions do not accept gay marriage but don't feel they have a right to pass judgement.  Happy Christian's I acknowledge but somethings give them reason to be concerned. Gay Christians? and this is what drives us to seek guidance of those informed and in turn to make an informed choice.
But there is ways of enlightening, the Catholic Church has in it's interpretation of God's expressed will decided to issue leaflets for guidance and instruction I don't think this is aimed at persecution of gay people. They have in their obedience to the Word of God decided to end dialogue. Others have seen this as aggressive persecution.  The Episcopalians have agreed to house the refugees from other religious institutions hopefully to get them to study the reasons why for Christian's this is not God's expressed will.    Now we have been given a free will and the consequences of making wrong decisions can be disastrous so therefore the need for guidelines and the absolute need for all denominations to take their stand on this issue, to stop the fear and confusion existing.

What a nation expects of the Ordinary Man

He pays Income Tax, National Insurance, Poll Tax, Inheritance Tax, contributes to charities, holiday funds, pension funds, keeps the watch, fights injustices on our door step, watches for the faults in the work place, pays extra on the trains at the barrier if he doesn't get access to the ticket office, sends their sons and daughters to wars while those who perpetuated these sit in high places drawing crowd adulation, refusing to acknowledge our Queen and democracy and draw fantastic salaries some of us will never obtain in our life time!

When Mr Blair advanced the peace process in Northern Ireland did he for a moment stop to think what would become of these men when freed did he prepare ahead to provide them with employment or did he release them just to continue their aggression on the streets. Bill Clinton said it "How they hate one another" Who taught the hatred? Many of these men feel betrayed by their leaders enough to try to blow them up! Indeed the question is being asked by many families why punish them when these leaders authorised much more and now sit in luxury? This is their hurt!

This is reality out here, where not only have our armed forces been taken for granted but also their families. In our hospitals they are continuing to promote a drug which was experimented in Auschwitz not only that they are mocking those courageous enough to expose this and are advising that the drug be given over the counter in pharmacies.

Mr. Gordon Brown, who insulted the mothers and fathers of this country by giving the free T.V licence after the age of 75 given the workload of the population many of us won’t live that long! and as for donating our organs as we said there will be no music left in them! The people who have died through drug induced illness and Mr. Blair has these figures, is in excess of the people killed in the last war this according to Dr. Matthias Rath Do you think perhaps this is what could be wrong in the NHS?

Change Must Happen!

Especially for the Ordinary Man who has been educated down through generations enough to let his employers use him, just enough knowledge to keep him sane, just enough money in his pocket to keep him happy, used then whoosh discard!

Perhaps it is time for the Ordinary Man to stop and take stalk of himself, see what he is capable of with the right kind of information and advice. And to understand the power he has at his fingertips. Of course for him to have that there must be in place the right kind of people with the right kind of attitude and the right kind of reasons for being there in the first place.Without him Governments would not be elected We do not need the greedy the grabbing, the lustful, the perverts, the half-hearted, the self-centred, the boastful,the self seekers in power. To make any nation strong we need the right person for the right job with the right kind of temperament and the right reasons for being there The positive side of this is in our country there are those still strong enough calling for and removing those in position who have forgotten the reason they are collecting a salary. To them I say enlist the power of the Ordinary Man get him behind you and rid us of this cancer which is eroding our Governments. Creating situations at Government level resulting in recent student marches there are some very painful scenes a waste of time to already stressed people and very, very humiliating, they should not be necessary in a generation which should have learned from past mistakes. Humanity is God’s creation it is beautiful and in a Christian country these marches should not be necessary. In conversation with one very wise Moslem gentleman and myself bemoaning the whole sad situation i.e. the wars, “it’s a terrible world” says I,

“Nothing wrong with the world, says he “It’s a beautiful place, it’s us that pollute it!”

A Cry from An Ordinary Man

I’m just an Ordinary Man, nothing special, nothing grand ( You made that judgement or them?)

I’ve had to work for everything I own ( Should be your birthright! Come to think of it we’ve all had to work, but I see what you mean maybe they inherited everything like on a silver plate?)

I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I’d got ( I’m thinking God will respect that choice- but what of the story about the Talents maybe you never heard that one)

Enough to keep my family and my home (You saw this as your priority. Now’t wrong with that more should be like it less damaged people around! Hey! I can tell you though they envy you your cosiness!)

Now they say that times are hard and they’ve handed me my cards ( Don’t believe it they’ve something else in mind)

They say there’s not enough work to go round (Right again, they’ve other plans)

And when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close

To-night they’re going to shut this factory down

Then they’ll tear it down ( naw, unless the building has really had it, it’ll be for new builds or shopping precinct!)

I never missed a day nor went on strike for higher pay ( A bit daft that, everyone should fight if necessary when there is injustice or poor conditions!) Mind you I’ve seen pictures of these marches Jarrow, George Reid, too painful, too painful. Like you Ordinary Men willing to give and give and give unaware their masters take and take and take until too late. Correct me if I’m wrong isn’t that why we elect governments to meet the need of the people. Hilary said it "there is an awful lot of not listening.” “The country is pissed off” David said it and he has excelled them all down through generations he’s succeeded in pissing the country off even more! Be consoled mate the higher up they go the harder they fall!

For twenty years I served them best I could (What? Was there never any increases in the bills, rent, food etc. too soft mate, too soft!)

Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget (Phew! At least there was a bit of redundancy money)

Loyalty through the bad times and through good ( Least you missed out on the presentation party, you know, the silver plate or the engraved mug might even have been a gold pen- What an escape!)

The owner says he’s sad to see that things have got so bad ( Read his script! Read his script! He’s said it all before!)

But the captains of industry won’t let him lose (Told you they’ve got other plans!)

He still drives a car and smokes his cigar (You mean like that fellow they call two jags poetic justice here mate he’ll snuff it with some lung thing or the big C- Fret not thyself and another thing he’ll have to sell all to pay his nursing home fees, watch him whine then! You and yours will be free. Hey! You might even get a room with him think of the fun you’ll have then!)

And still he takes his family on a cruise, he’ll never lose (You helped them! No use crying over spilt milk.)

Well it seems to me such a cruel irony( Why do the wicked prosper? Psalm 73 in The Book of Books

He’s richer now than he ever was before (You’ve forgotten he made it through your expertise and doesn’t need to pay you any wages! He’s probably got machines to take over that don’t cost as much but of course he’ll feel justified that he’s saved for this cruise! We never learn!) Us the Ordinary Man I mean. I mean the other poor sucker who has made these machines believe me his time’s coming for the boot!)

Now my cheque is spent and I can’t afford the rent ( Bxxxxx. Not even enough to see you or recommend you for other work)

There’s one law for the rich one for the poor (Doesn’t have to be there’s equal opportunities?)

Every day I’ve tried to salvage some of my pride ( No shyster you . We can see your honesty)

To find some work so’s I might pay my way ( I’ll bet your thinking right now that swine will never experience this)

Oh, but everywhere I go, the answer’s always no

There’s no work for anyone here to-day, no work today ( Told you it’s all organized ! The local business man’s breakfast or lunches or tea parties, careful if you’ve got any ideas better than theirs’s keep it to yourself) I mean they paid £90 for a dinner got dressed up in their best dinner suits think how much that cost to discuss wait for it,for drugs that are killing instead of healing but hey what's a loss of life here and there medicine for the individual they don't recognize it. Like I said the poor don’t understand the greed of the rich and the rich don’t understand the needs of the poor. A bit of flesh that’s all we are don’t even give us a number.

And so condemned I stand, just an Ordinary Man ( Don’t believe it your special, head up! Higher, Higher)

Like thousands beside me in the queue ( Unless I’m mistaken I heard someone say they were going to tackle this –I’m positive it was Tony somebody or other, what happened? Is he ill! What? you trying to tell me he’s the bxxxxx on that cruise with his profits?)

I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life (Get her to write her story, you know what I mean the other picture? One law for the rich and one for the poor – The good Dr.Kwok said it. Told you they’re all in league- Phone calls here, phone calls there – they’ll never learn how to consider the poor yet I’m lead to believe they read The Book! )

And God knows what the kids are going to do ( Everyman’s pride and joy!)

Now that we are faced with this human waste

( Naw, they’ve got a plan they are putting wheels in motion something about identifying problem children early- not that they’ll ever admit that they’re the problem not our children! Can you believe it they actually give children medals for getting out of bed early before they go to school to help dress an invalid parent- poor tired wee mites while their’s are sitting comfortable in the Merc by the way which your expertise helped them get- Oh don’t get me started!

A generation cast aside ( Not if we can help it! )

And as long as I live, I never will forgive

You’ve stripped me of my dignity and pride, you’ve stripped me bare, you’ve stripped me bare ( I can see it in your eye’s they’re trying to break your spirit – and I’m hurting for you!) Watch this space. I’ll profits them!

An Ordinary Man and what a nation expects of him.

Change Happens ???????

The winds of change whisper throught the trees, When? " The country is pissed off" that was Mr. Cameron.  "There is an awful lot of not listening" That was Hilary Clinton! "We shall continue to discuss issues important to us all." That was Eliz.11 So lets consider David Cameron's words first off. He's certainly right we're pissed off but he did not clarify as to why and he seems still not to see why the country is pissed off! 70,000 plus prisoners in British Jails Why?  Who lacks the insight and expertise to reverse the situation? The Education system instructed until the year1976 to push the best and forget the rest! Could there be a clue here? Teach ,Train and Discipline, encourage self respect. There are notices all over Britain to the effect "you don't expect to go to work and be attacked" True but we don't expect to send our children to attend school and church and be sexually abused or beaten into submission.We will attack! The Housing situation,we could have a look at that, nice if every child is given a room of their own with space for themselves. NHS does not need more money for research, medicine has advanced but people are being denied the access to information or when gaining information are persuaded they don't need to know! Eliz.11 a phrase we believe will go down History "We should continue to discuss issues important to us all" and what is more important than the health and wellbeing of us all.
