Archbishop Cranmer (Free subscription) | 04/07/2009
Cranmer believes the family to be the irreducible fundamental building block of a stable society, not merely another ‘lifestyle choice’. Marriage is a union observed in all cultures, and seems to exist by nature. In the Bible it is portrayed as essential for societal functioning – throughout Scripture, family units, or ‘houses’ are seen as part of the basic building blocks...

When Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer narrowly lost his seat to the NDP's Linda Duncan in 2008, no less than four groups claimed or were assigned credit for the defeat: radical Islamists , the vote-swapping AnyonebutHarper gang , George Soros , and--with at least as much credit as any of these-- Michael Geist's gang of copyright warriors . Now, The Pirate Party-- a Swedish organization dedicated to loosening...

Nigel Farage the Leader of UKIP's 13 MEP's has formed an alliance of 30 MEP's called the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group. Now what is worrying is that UKIP are described as the most moderate party in the group, which makes one think who the hell are the others. Well the second largest group is Italy's Lega Nord party with 9 MEP's which is described as anti immigrant and xenophobic...the leader...

Gordon Brown is lying when he claims the choice is between 'Labour investment and Tory cuts'. Everyone knows that his is lying, public, press, fellow members of the government, and in this case the porkies are so blatant that this issue is fast becoming the Prime Minister's lack of honesty rather than the state of the economy. Matters haven't stopped there, however, with government ministers trying...

'It's difficult to love a country that you know little about - particularly if alternative histories (imperial guilt etc) grow up to fill the vacuum.' http://conservativehome.blogs.com/thetorydiary/2009/07/a-patriotic-plea-to-david-cameron.html Really? I don't love 'a country'. I am English, and I feel English, and many many things around me resonate with me, in a way that American things didn't when...

The big local news this week has been the decision by Derek Wyatt, our Labour MP, not to stand at the next election. He has been MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey since 1997, although he only held on in 2005 with a majority of 79. He has said it is for family reasons following his divorce and I think the fact that he has to defend a tiny majority against what looks like will be a nasty Conservative...

Belated observations on this week's Prime Minister's Questions, which, like the indispensable Paul Waugh , I thought was a significant moment. For the first time, I thought David Cameron looked properly prime ministerial; he held the House. Gordon Brown's performance was simply lamentable. This was not a matter of the "zero per cent rise" in public spending in 2013/14, which was just a mistake:...

I have been berated for not being political enough lately. I have therefore decided to briefly put a few things up. I shall now be, no doubt, berated for for being political again. Alas, my dear blog-readers, you are a demanding crowd! 1. MP's expenses. Yes, they were wrong. Yes, I suspect most other people would have claimed what they could under the rules too. I dislike the way the Conservative party...

Political assassination is always an interesting thing to watch. I remembered seeing it happen to Thatcher and its effects made long lasting and deep, near fatal wounds on the conservative party. They never recovered even after Major won a general election after Thatcher's departure and it is only now, 18 years after her departure that they are beginning to look like a united party again.
