“I think of the immense suffering caused by the abuse of children, especially within the church and by her ministers, Above all I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes, along with my hope that the power of Christ’s grace, his sacrifice of reconciliation, will bring deep healing and peace […]

Should We Grasp The Papal ‘Hand Of Friendship’?
In case you have missed today’s news, I can tell you that Pope Benedict XVI has started a three day visit to extend his ‘hand of friendship’ to all in the UK. Word of his arrival has caused great excitement in some people and complete apathy – and even anger – in many others. He […]
If You Want A Job…Show Some Thigh!
While the Coalition Government is in full swing branding anyone receiving benefits as ‘work shy scroungers’ and blaming them, alone, for the massive hole in the country’s finances, it is worth recounting the advice a friend of mine was recently given. She is in her mid thirties, is long term unemployed and has brought up […]
Islam, World Peace and the Spark of Common Sense.
The state of world peace is maintained by a delicate balance. It is also maintained by a tolerance of the actions of others and an acceptance of beliefs that may not be your own. It is, often, as simple as respecting other people’s feelings. Nothing seems to demonstrate this more than the recent publicity given […]

Has Israel Finally Shot Itself In The Foot?
“This was not a love boat, this was a boat of hate,” is Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s rather feeble effort at an excuse for his military action against the Gaza aid flotilla, in which nine ‘activists’ were killed by Israeli troops. It is an excuse that is starting to wear rather thin, after being […]
Is This Our New Democracy?
On the day that Parliament was re-opened by The Queen and her new coalition government took control of the UK on a promise of a more fair society and the shrinking of a controlling state, it seems somewhat ironic, that long time anti-war campaigner Brian Haw was arrested this morning by the Metropolitan Police. Mr […]
Asda First To Help Us ‘Cash Cows’
(graphic from PetrolPrices.com website) Once again supermarket giant Asda is leading the way in passing on lower fuel costs to its customers. As the above graphic demonstrates, it is even more admirable when you see the small percentage that a retailer actually makes from a litre of fuel. Their own profit has to come mainly […]
The Hacker Who Broke Into US Never-Never Land!
“Cyberspace doesn’t exist any more than never-never land. I was no more in America than anyone who is on a long-distance telephone call. The fiction of cyberspace should be properly tested in a British court because it is no more real than Santa Claus. They cannot “return” me to a country I wasn’t in, yet […]
