Often at political hustings I have been asked: "What does the Christian Party stand for?" I summarise it in three ways. We stand for the main points that other parties stand for, without their unchristian polices. Then I summarise the other Parties quickly. Finally, I say: "So if you mix the blue, red, yellow and …

All Lives Matter
It is time to correct the narrative. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) slogan had spread from America to the UK. It is directed at racists and aims to inform and influence governments towards inclusive policies. However, the topic is wider than black and white. This is only one way to highlight the prejudice of the …
Impoverished conversation and free speech
Misunderstanding is common in conversation, but what really impoverishes speech nowadays is the subjects that are off-limits. Political correctness has made everyone aware that some topics are off-limits and even particular words have now been banned. Free speech is under attack but let us notice that it began long ago with the supposed rule for …
Build Back Better and what is behind it
When I first heard it, I thought 'Build Back Better' was terrible English. My opinion has not changed. It is a terrible slogan. However, it has been adopted by Joe Biden and Boris Johnson. Why? Michael Gove used it at the Scottish Tory Conference yesterday in Glasgow, opposing it to the SNP agenda, and he …

Secularism has allowed law to run out of control and Reformation is long overdue. Secularism is 500 years out of date, far behind the curve of Christian …
The truth and “the whole truth”
Last week, the former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond drew attention to "the whole truth" in the oath normally administered in sworn testimony. The Committee on the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints (Committee of Inquiry) had invited him to speak to the Inquiry as he had been the victim of a miscarriage of …
A summary of Christian action
A Christian friend has raise the important point where Christians can find answers to pressing questions in public life. In testimony to him and his acknowledgment of this concern I have decided to gather together some former blogposts for reference. There are lobby groups in England and Australia but Scotland needs a reformer and Christian …
State Pension age
Today I qualify for my State Pension, delayed in recent years from 65 to 66 years old. It was a long time coming. I am sure my mother thought the same when she was finally delivered of her second son at 15 minutes after midnight! Like the Royals, what do you give to people who …
