This astounds, baffles, disgusts, worries and infuriates me as journalist. It's our job to report facts to the public, not decide whether the public can be trusted with the facts. You're basically saying media's job is censorship to enable "right think" as they see it in society. https://t.co/09zaNEbCFv

The same class who accuse the most milquetoast Christians of living in the Handmaid's Tale have, all this time, been purchasing real estate in Gilead. https://t.co/FD8JaiAiHD

I can’t believe what I have just listened to. The moral bankruptcy that has crept into western universities is simply terrifying. https://t.co/GUvVtAm6kw

It’s very sad that there will be no acknowledgement of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem this year because of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The birth of Jesus is the ONLY beacon of light and hope in this world for true peace and reconciliation. Sadly, so many turn their backs on the light and choose darkness instead. Even in England, Christmas is now regarded more as a time to just party, eat as much as possible and have a good time. There is little acknowledgement or belief in Christ’s birth and realising the sheer wonder of it. My husband and I recently went on a visit to Bramall Hall near Stockport, Cheshire which had been decorated beautifully for Christmas. Yet in the old Chapel, there was nothing to represent the birth of Jesus – no Nativity scene, nothing, only a toadstool and elves for children to find! How sad. In past years, they used to have a manger set out that reminded everyone of what Christmas is truly all about. But the greatest event in human history DID happen and that is a lasting wonder and joy for all who believe.
Venezuela’s Chavez was the catalyst for the finest demonstration of Marxism’s practical application inasmuch as Equality ( in poverty and degradation ) was successfully achieved.
