The BBC and Christianity

Chapter Five of The Noble Liar  is entitled “Auntie the Apostate:  Losing Her Religion” .  It is incredibly insightful and helpful.  The following is a summary with some of the best quotes.  Read and think about this.  We have moved from the BBC broadcasting CS Lewis during a time of crisis, to the BBC now promoting the secular prophet, Richard Dawkins.  It has not been a change for … Continue reading The BBC and Christianity

Censoring the internet – A plea from John Milton

The new editor at Christian Today has invited me back to do a weekly column for them…here is the first – on lessons from John Milton about Internet censorship.  Did you know that President Lincoln stated, “Most of what you read on the Internet is false”? I’m afraid if you cannot spot the obvious flaw in that statement then you are not worthy of reading … Continue reading Censoring the internet – A plea from John Milton

The Noble Liar – The Influence of the BBC and the Meritocracy

The Noble Liar  by Robin Aitken is my book of the year, so far, and I doubt whether any book will overtake it.  It is a stunning insight from a former BBC journalist and executive – who has 25 years experience of the organisation.  If you want to understand what is going on in our culture, The Noble Liar, is essential reading. The book is subtitled – … Continue reading The Noble Liar – The Influence of the BBC and the Meritocracy

‘Confirmatory Referendums’, Propaganda and the Fight for Democracy- Brexit Update

Welcome to your weekly Brexit update of news and articles.   We havn’t really moved on – but the unfolding narrative is still the same.  The House of Commons (and even more the Lords) is desperately seeking a way to avoid Brexit and as I have said many times, will probably succeed.  So here are some of the lowlights in this past week. The 2nd Referendum … Continue reading ‘Confirmatory Referendums’, Propaganda and the Fight for Democracy- Brexit Update

Indicative Votes Indicate Chaos – The People’s March; The EU and the Internet and Cars

As usual our weekly summary of Brexit and a selection of the best and most informative articles. Last night this happened. It seems as though Parliament ‘took control’ and whilst everyone knows what they don’t want, no-one knows what they really want.  Negativity is so easy. Lets try a wee game….which of these would you have voted for?  You could have voted for all. Confirmatory … Continue reading Indicative Votes Indicate Chaos – The People’s March; The EU and the Internet and Cars

Why Christians Should Support the Birmingham Muslims

One of the advantages of ‘lying on a bed of sickness’ is that I have the time to listen to radio, sermons, catch up on books I have been meaning to read.  It also helps me read  up on some stories in the media in greater depth.  One such is the Birmingham schools row – which is a fascinating and revealing insight into our culture. … Continue reading Why Christians Should Support the Birmingham Muslims
