Like Juan Carlos of Spain
Andy's a right royal stain.
Will he fly far away
Miles from the US and UK?
He has been a right royal pain
So is he off soon to Bahrain?
At Windsor he'll not show his face
This prodigal is now in disgrace.
Will the future be bleak, who can tell?
Andy living in his own little hell.
No peace with a wife,
But trouble and strife.
It's all of his making,
For all he's been taking.
It's time to repent
for the times so misspent.
Politicians and Police forces have let us down badly. And now the public needs to demand justice for the victims and severe penalties for the perpetrators, some who have escaped prosecution and custody.
Now the full extent of the crimes, the rapes, the sexual perversions of grooming gangs is coming to light. These evil acts have been exposed, when politicians and police officers looked the other way and passed by on the other side. They clearly did not rigorously investigate and invest the right amount of time, money, resources and energy into what was a terrible tragedy, a wicked period of terror and turmoil. Young lives have been ruined, harmed and hurt. It is claimed that murder and mayhem occurred in the our towns and cities by these grooming gangs.
We should thank those who have revealed the extent of the problem and how it has caused so much anger and anguish, pain and suffering beyond the comprehension of most of us in the UK today. Well done Winston Marshall and others who speak out, saying what needs to be said and done.
Concerning the Reverend David Tudor, this matter, this unhappy chain of events has gone on for far too long. 1Corinthians 5:13 clearly applies. Now the Cof E will have to deal with the damage and the dreadful disasters, the dismal dastardly deeds done by a decadent clergyman. Matthew 18:6 also applies in this particular case, as juveniles have been involved in this sorry shameful saga.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
We should beware those who are men of blood, men with a track record of political gangsterism, who play the tough guy and operate with ruthlessness and mendacity, sleek charm and clever deceitfulness.
Like Stalin, Putin removes the opposition and exudes confidence. He exploits weakness and works iniquity with his steely grip of power and authority. He rules with fear and brooks no rivalry.
It seems clear that Putin sees Ukraine as part and parcel of mother Russia. Kiev is a precious jewel in the crown, as it is an ancient city, older than Moscow. Putin tried to take it in his earlier campaign.
Putin does not like to use the reverse gear, to concede territory. Like Stalin he is prepared to send many troops to their death in pursuit of his Russian dreams of a greater Motherland. He wants more pieces of Ukraine and not peace as the West wants it.
Does Putin hold some key cards of kompromat? What does Putin have up his sleeve? Is Putin a grandmaster of political and military chess?
Conflict and calamity will be coming. European states are aware of the writing on the wall.
I pray for the Prince of Peace to deal with this man of blood.
To hear the good news, the gospel of the trendy progressive church, we might believe that the message of Jesus is always welcome. Are all welcome? Will all be welcomed into His kingdom.
Jesus in fact, before words of welcome, called people to repentance, Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus also did not have welcoming or kind words for people who led others astray. Jesus said woe to certain people and declared that God would not welcome sinners into His presence and into His abode.
Depart from me you cursed. Not at all welcoming words, but progressive trendy religion would have us believe that the gospel welcomes everyone without any judgment or call for repentance.
The message of the early Church was not welcome to our little friendship groups, to our cosy comfortable meetings or our band of easy believers, but repent and believe the Gospel, repent and be converted, repent and be baptized. These early Christians were persecuted and ostracized for the faith, for following the Way. It could be very costly to be a Christian, and it still is in certain sad lands, bad lands.
John the Baptist preached repentance, not welcome to a happy time of fellowship down by the river. See Matthew 3:7 and Luke 3:7.
So are all welcome? Yes, if they are willing and wanting to deal with their sin in repentance.
It would be foolish to say that we welcome people unwilling to put aside their wicked ways. Do we welcome dangerous career criminals, evil wolves in sheep's clothing who harm the flock of God, known sex offenders who have vile intentions, terrorists, pirates, slave traders and violent people who cannot control their behaviour? If we believe in safeguarding, then of course all are not welcome in certain circumstances.
It should therefore be, welcome to a message of repentance, welcome to hear the Gospel. We are sinners in need of the Saviour. He loves sinners and wishes them to avoid the coming wrath, the judgment of the unjust and exclusion of those who reject His salvation.
Sadly we have welcomed to the UK some very dangerous folk, now called bad actors. They are people who do not share our values at all, but are willing to use violence and dishonest means to achieve their ends. It is an inconvenient truth that we have welcomed people who believe in female genital mutilation, wife beating, child marriage, death to apostates, the preeminence of sharia law, rape gangs, slavery, mendacity to advance religious and political power, support for totalitarianism and forms of fascism, and other ideologies that oppose an open democratic society where there is the freedom of the press and free enterprise.
It should be a matter of grave concern that in Africa, where there are enormous resources and mineral wealth, there is so much corruption, economic instability, warfare, bloodshed, poverty and deprivation.
Year after year we hear of wars and alarming conditions somewhere in Africa. Genocide and revolutions seem to occur frequently. "Black Lives Matter" it is heralded in many places and yet I have heard relatively little about the massacres in parts of Nigeria, Sudan, Tutsi tribes, the persecution of Christian unto death in certain areas , and other African nations where wars have been happening.
It is no wonder that many people wish to come to our land, but the current rate of immigration is having very sad consequences and conditions, and there will be catastrophes.
The BBC has let us down. The Corporation has failed to uphold high standards. The evidence against the senior management is now clear for all to see, to read about, to understand. There has been a litany of failures and faults. It is a dark day in the history of the BBC, and people are demanding changes and a clear out, a purge and serious review of the damage done by those responsible for the disasters. The resignations have been applauded, viewed as the correct and necessary actions. A good start and steps in the right direction.
There is a loss of confidence in the BBC and folk are questioning whether they should not pay their license fee. Some commentators contend that the BBC had come under the control of a woke and ideologically biased inner core who made dire decisions and dodgy moves. They had annoyed and alienated staff, journalists, contributors, politicians, and the general public, the viewers incensed by obvious bias and shoddy broadcasting.
Let us hope that we get a better BBC. Much has been expected of the BBC. It is time for the BBC to give much in return, a much better BBC. They get enough of our money to get it right, to restore and to revive it. Does that mean a reformation or a renaissance?
What an omnishambles at Petit France, at the Ministry of Justice where mishaps, mistakes, mismanagement and maladministration take place on a daily basis. What a mess. It is clearly "not fit for purpose". And that is to quote a former Home Secretary who set up the Ministry of Justice. Senior civil servants and the Justice Secretary need to "get a grip". It is beyond a joke, a Yes Minister episode, when the Prison Service is letting dangerous prisoners out into the community, putting lives at risk and failing to protect the public. Such failures make the Government and the criminal justice system a laughing stock, a field day for comedians and Private Eye magazine.
Some politicians are clearly not up to the job; they are clearly out of their depth. Changes are needed. They are absolutely necessary. Heads should role. It is time for accountability and responsibility in Government. The current situation is woefully unacceptable.
