What’s in a name?

Here’s a controversial one. A leaflet arrived through my letter box this morning – from the ‘Billy Graham Evangelistic Association UK’. It’s addressed to me as their ‘Friend‘, although they DID have my postal address code to get it here, so, I’m assuming they already know what name I go under.

Briefly, the text is rejoicing in the recent development that has allowed ‘them’ [BGEA] to hold a two-day ‘Love Phnom Penh’ festival in that great city. This after the mass genocide which happened in the years between 1975 and 1979. Featured strongly is the theme they promote – “Sharing the truth of the Gospel and the hope found in Jesus Christ is the best ‘gift’ (aha!) you (that’s me) could give to anyone.” Now, whilst I have nothing personally against Franklin Graham, (indeed, I was present at the old Wembley stadium in 1973 when his father Dr Billy, a fine-living man, got very upset with two C & W singers, who wrecked a spirit-filled convention for 73,000 of us by singing a carnal song) I find myself examining true motive here.

The Jewish Carpenter prophesied to his myriad followers [Matt 7:15-24] that there would be many who would go around doing wonderfully persuasive things using his ‘name’ as their ‘authority’, but that these sincere souls would not make Graduation Day, because they ‘never KNEW’ him; they would simply have been working lawlessly. Now, think for a moment, what language did the carpenter speak? If you think it doesn’t matter, then,(not wishing to be offensive, but on the other hand not wanting to remain inoffensive either), you are probably a victim of Vatican Marketing Unlimited and where you attend every week on a Sunday morning is nothing more than a social club.

The carpenter’s name was very effective [Acts 3:6] when his agents used it to help the poor cripple lad who sat outside the ‘social club?’ entrance, and I’m sure THEY didn’t use the wrong NAME. ” Silver and gold have I none, but, in the name of ‘the resurrected Jewish Carpenter’ get up and walk!”

I shall NOT be sending any contribution to Buckhurst Hill IG9 5EX, but I WILL keep going around doing good and helping all the oppressed [Acts 10:38] with the Author’s authority.

“Belay there, Cap’n!!”

The forecast looks set fair, there is much euphoria floating on a fair breeze, the waters seem calmer now, and tickets are selling fast to celebrate a great pleasure cruise.

Departure is planned for a week today, and you will be sailing in a vessel named ‘Britannia’. True, she has been mothballed for a generation, but now she is being refitted as preparations are made for a ‘once in a lifetime’ voyage, and it looks as if the vessel will be heading WEST.

However, a word of caution: I do hope that Captain Johnson ensures that all the holes have been caulked in our vessel, after all, it IS relying on deal (dictionary definition – ‘pine timber, sawn into boards of a standard size’); I seem to remember that the SS Great Britain was towed from the Falkland Islands after she had lain unused for a long time. She made the trip, but then, she was made out of cast iron..

We’ve given the Cap’n some strong stuff to work with, but we wouldn’t want our vessel to discover any leaks on her maiden voyage, would we? If she ain’t caulked, it may be 15th April 1912 all over again.

Keep your eyeball peeled!

It seems that constant change is here to stay: thankfully, these islands have been blessed with a heritage which is the envy of many countries in the wider world. As we have now hesitantly placed our trust in  Boris Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson to finally prise ourselves away from the Brussels EU and all it has surreptitiously led us into, let’s not forget that it is the ‘people’ not the ‘parliament’ which holds sovereignty. Any failure after three + years of dithering and frustrating, will bring about serious repercussions on a par with those in Kennington and Peterloo..

Beware the BoJo Bluster

There were hundreds of pages in the Withdrawal Bill which Teresa May attempted to foist off onto us earlier this year. Happily, there were enough MPs sufficiently wide awake to stop the cursed thing in its tracks; indeed, for Ann Widdecombe MP, some 55 years a True Blue, this was her watershed moment, “when the Prime Minister stood up and lied to the House about its content, I knew I had to leave the Party

Whether we are brexhausted or not after three plus years of vacuous vacillating, it does not make it suddenly acceptable for the nation to be bullied into swallowing BoJo’s tarted-up version, just to get some peace and quiet. For, trust me friends, this is the very same deal with a little lipstick added.

As we go to the polls on Thursday, let’s remember – only the Truth will make us FREE. Take a little time to read through the Brexit Party (soon to be renamed ‘The Reform Party’s) Contract with the People, copy attached in pdf below. You will see that this is the only position which makes sense, which makes sure that we can ‘Change Politics for GOOD’

A Question of Trust

Sunday 8th December 2019

Yesterday was spent on the main street of the local town, talking to passersby, to a backdrop of ‘TO LET’ placards in most of the retail shop premises.

It is clear that our townsfolk, like our nation, are deeply divided and by now very fed up that the greatest ‘democratic’ mandate in UK political history is being subverted.

Sadly, the recurring comment was that “all politicians are liars”, our local representative on the Westminster green leather benches had done very little for the town, and that a radical change must come.

Which is why many up ‘ere in’t north’ are coming to the conclusion that, like him or loathe him, only Nigel Paul Farage is talking any sense. I expect many of us have watched the various ‘leaders’ squirming under the belligerent questioning of television presenters and journalists, you know, the ones who have spent many hours preparing their scripts, ready to tear holes in the prospective ‘johnny-come-lately’ types, whilst keeping their finger on said script – in case they should lose their thread.

How refreshing, then, to hear a man speak who has for 20+ years faced down the Brussels EU and their sycophantic hordes – no notes required. Their is no substitute for experience. As he keeps on telling us ‘Boris’s ‘deal’ is NOT Brexit’
