    Brussels Under Attack

    Aspects of the theocratic law are notvrelevant to Christians e.g ceremonial and food laws and laws designed primarily to isolate the Hebrews from the pagan practices of the nations around them. But the Mosaic law cannot merely be dismissed and has much to teach Christian law makers in entirely...

    Brussels Under Attack

    Guess Abraham is not your "father" you speak the language of another parent when you call evil good and light darkness. There are a great many Muslims who would condemn these attacks and even more Christians.

    Brussels Under Attack

    Murders of abortion doctors are extremely rare and practically non existent amongst European Christians you will be hard pressed to find any examples of Christian terrorism here while Islamic examples are commonplace. This action was an atasck on the EU designed to get us angry and get us...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    Also the current weight of Germany in the EU will be reduced by the possible loss of Merkel. If Merkel loses in the state elections coming up and is replaced before the referendum then German leadership will not be taken for granted in Europe. The appearance of the EU as a coherent unit with...

    What For You is the Single Biggest Political Issue of the 2016 Election?

    The management of the US - Europe alliance and how relations with the Muslim world are to be handled are the crucial issues in my view. These are crucial for world stability on which peace and prosperity and freedoms depend

    Boris Johnson 'to back EU exit'

    If that is your view then the money is for staying in the EU cause most big business supports staying. In which case they should have the best ads. We shall see.

    Boris Johnson 'to back EU exit'

    Yes he is an honest chap who usually adds a little common sense and perspective in moments of hysterical overreaction. The guy has a brain, a sense of humour that would serve him well in the modern UK, but at the end of the day is serious about stuff that matters - he would make a good PM...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    I do not want to see Scotland gone - they add a lot to the British culture and would be sorely missed - besides its a national pastime for Scots and English people to make fun of each other and yell at each other at football and rugby matches. But I think the SNP would use a BREXIT to push for a...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    The main feature of migration flows is that the people flock to genuine opportunity. Britain and Germany are both creating jobs hence their attractiveness to migrants. But if you look at the British migration patterns you will see that they almost all go to London and the South East. That is the...

    Is the Antonine Wall or Hadrians wall more defensible?

    Count the stars.. So shall your offspring be.

    I kind of like the idea of a spacefaring civilisation filling the galaxies but you are probably right.

    Count the stars.. So shall your offspring be.

    In Genesis 15:5 "Look up at the heavens and count the stars - if indeed you can count them..,So shall your offspring be." There are apparently about 100 billion galaxies each with 100 billion stars. Now there are about 15 million Jews in the world but of course the lost tribes aside from...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    Exactly the ways we recovered in the past from our tendency to consume more than we produce are no longer available if we quit Europe. There is no easy money from colonial conquest or banking investment schemes to save us now. The British capacity to adapt is considerable but overall the costs...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    George Osborne is in the for camp and Boris in the against. So either choice the Tories have their bases covered when Cameron steps down. Boris as mayor of London is cosmopolitan, as half American he is transAtlantic and as Eton educated aware of some of the finest traditions of the British...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    The latest polls average out with a slight (2-3%) lead for the remain in the EU group. But given the pollsters track record in the UK they may have this the wrong way round. The trend seems to be towards leaving and Boris Johnson has jumped in on the side of BREXIT...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    A lot of German people back the idea of reforming the EU. East Europeans are also quite positive about EU membership. Germans on the whole do not want the UK to leave http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/brexit-referendum-verlaesst-grossbritannien-die-eu-a-1078471.html Scotland and Europe are...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    Yes that is a long list and includes India. But to actually register to vote you need to have an address in the UK from which you are a registered tax payer. You need a National Insurance number also. So in other words you would have to be a Commonwealth national who is resident in the UK and...

    UK EU Referendum - Stay in or leave?

    I should have said British and especially since I myself am part English, part Welsh and part Scottish. If Britain as a whole votes to leave and Scotland to stay then I think that would force a new Scottish referendum to give Scottish people the possibility of opting back into Europe.
