It is common to hear people complain that they cannot trust such and such a person, particularly politicians. It is a blanket statement, showing how little thought they have given to the subject. People say that they cannot trust the Prime Minister and little wonder that people say that they cannot trust Christians when they …

Calling time on chief executives
It is time to accept that many chief executives cannot do their job. Ever since the 2008 credit crisis, when the "too big to fail" mantra emerged, the Scottish Christian Party has claimed that some corporations are "too big to manage". The corporate failures in our high streets, issues with our transport, education and health …
Continuing partnership confusion
Civil partnerships are changing, slowly catching up with the Scottish Christian Party. The Scottish Christian Party (SCP) correctly predicted that civil partnerships were a stepping stone towards redefining marriage to include homosexual partnerships. The argument for recognising civil partnerships between same-sex couples was that married people had legal and financial advantages denied to homosexual couples. …
Proclaiming Christ's Lordship
I am told that many people do not understand "proclaiming Christ's Lordship". So some Christians tell me. However, I have heard this only from Christians. Non-Christians have not said this to me in my 13 years of involvement with the Scottish Christian Party "Proclaiming Christ's Lordship". If people do not understand Christ's Lordship, then it …
More BBC nonsense
It appears that the BBC thinks its audience wants to watch the side of the head of its reporters. Tonight, BBC news showed its reporters in various poses. A prominent new pose is the reporter speaking well to the side of the camera so that viewers are looking at the side of their head. Why? …
The SNP's Scotland and slippery women
The SNP Government has published Scotland's Right to Choose. Possibly the inspiration comes from 'a woman's right to choose'. The Abortion Act 1967 was passed with assurances that 'social' abortion would not occur. More than 50 years later few people recall this and the debate is now about 'a woman's right to choose'. It has …
Government by stealth and NHS privatisation
The Scottish Christian Party has for long highlighted Government by stealth. It is back on the agenda through the crowd-funded documentary The Great NHS Heist. Dr Bob Gill claims that there is long-term plan for trashing the welfare state and privatisation of the NHS by stealth. A short interview with Dr Gill is here, the …

There is a Christian Party
"There is a Christian Party – I like that!" This is good news. When Donald Dewar, the first First Minister of the reconstituted Scottish Parliament in 1999, launched the Scotland Bill in 1997 he announced: "There shall be a Scottish parliament," and added: "I like that!" Similarly, "There is a Christian Party – I like …
Ineffective deradicalisation programmes
The two London Bridge murders by a radicalised terrorist highlight the ineffectiveness of some prison deradicalisation programmes. Those jailed for islamic terrorism offences are reaching the end of their prison sentences, and their release from prison will test the rehabilitation programmes during their imprisonment. The current stabbings demonstrate that the value of human life was …
The BBC and the democratic deficit
Voters complain that they hear from would-be politicians only at election time. The fact is that most voters don't want to hear from would-be politicians at any time but only from those who are already in power or likely to be helped by their political party to gain power. The same is true of the …
