An Important Film – Transgender Regrets

I am currently involved with the Scottish Government concerning their proposed Gender Recognition Bill. One fascinating proposal is that if you officially change you can only do so once. Apparently you are free to change – but not to change back. The Trans activists are doing their best to suppress the stories of Trans people with regrets so I thought I would post this film … Continue reading An Important Film – Transgender Regrets

The Rise of Civic Christianity and the Collapse of the Church – The October Record Editorial

This is the editorial from the October Record – just out now. The Rise of Civic Christianity and the Collapse of the Church It’s a somewhat strange paradox. As the church seems to be in decline, the number of religious items in the news increases and the clergy are everywhere. Tom Nairn’s quip that Scotland wouldn’t be free until the last Church of Scotland minister … Continue reading The Rise of Civic Christianity and the Collapse of the Church – The October Record Editorial
