As a Christian, I have been trying to understand what I see happening to my country over the last few years.
With the return of Jerusalem to the Jews, we reach the end of what Jesus called, "The Time of the Gentiles".
Luke 21, 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
At the end of such an era comes judgement. Everything is tested by fire and only what is true survives. What doesn't, never was.
The English have a decent shout to be the oldest contiguous nation on the planet. Even the Anglo-Saxons made up only 25% of the new population. We are the same as we always were. From the book "The Seven Daughters of Eve" by Bryan Stokes, I came to the conclusion that the English were almost certainly the remains of that nation that Scripture calls "The Kittim", which makes a lot more sense of the later end-time prophecies!
For anyone who wonders if Scripture supports this idea, I'd point them towards the prophecies against the nations made by Balaam, particularly towards Asher (the ruins of Asher are about six miles from the town of T'krit).
From 300AD until very recently, the English as a whole were Christians. Christianity formed the entire foundation of their society.
They instituted the Parliamentary Democracy, the independent judiciary, the apolitical Civil Service and the absolute freedom of speech and thought which ensure freedom for all. These ideas they spread though the whole world and wherever they have been adopted (or survived independence), those nations are the freest on the planet.
For about 200 years, England (and later Britain) was the centre of the propagation of the Gospel throughout the world. Oh, and they ended slavery over a quarter of the globe.
For those who believe the English are irredeemably racist, at the height of the Empire, a memo was circulated throughout the Colonial Service which stated: "In the Colonial Service the one unforgivable sin is a sense of racial superiority." Whereas Ex-pats may have been racist, the Colonial Service itself was the first institutionally anti-racist organisation in the world!
So where are they now, the English (and British)? Under judgement.
If that judgement continues, in less than 100 years, the English as a race will have been all but eradicated.
Do they deserve that? Well, yes, everyone does!
Will that happen?
I was on the point of thinking so, until I found a Scripture. This may be the most important Scripture I have ever found and for the moment I cannot move past it. It is in the Book of the Prophet Micah, in the last chapter and it states:
Micah 7, 1-9
"Oh woe is me, I am as when they have already gathered the summer fruits and all the grapes are harvested. There is nothing to eat, no first fruit that my soul craves.
"The faithful have been swept from the land - not one upright person remains. Everyone lies in wait for one another, each hunts his fellow with a net.
"They give both hands to do evil; to do it well. The prince demands his price, the judge has his agenda, the great and the good speak only the evil desire of their souls and so they twist the course of justice between them.
"The best of them is like a briar, the most upright like a hedge of thorns. The day of which the watchmen warned is come; the day God settles accounts. Now is the time of confusion.
"Do not trust your neighbour, have no confidence in a friend, even from the woman in your arms, guard your lips.
"For the son dishonours his father, a daughter rises against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man's enemies are those of his own household.
"But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD; I wait for my saviour.
"Do not gloat over me my enemies, for though I have fallen, I shall rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light again.
"I will bear the LORD's wrath and anger for I have indeed sinned against him. But when that is done he will turn again and plead my cause, and give me justice. He will bring me back to the light and I will see his vindication."
You will not find these exact words in any single translation, since I compared 9 translations, one of them French, and went back to the Hebrew on almost every word. But this is the sense as best I can extract it. If any Ancient Hebrew experts ever see this, then they can correct any bit of it I have wrong.
Around the turn of the millennium, I was invited to a conference of the prophetic wing of the Christian Church in Britain. Of the 40 or so people there, most were proposing that we "declare Ichabod". I got very angry and predicted Brexit. I was the only one to do so.
I also predicted that we would come through judgement and survive. Since then I have had my doubts, but since the one came true, I must believe the other. This Scripture gives me the hope that I was right on both. THIS is where we are.
BTW, I was never invited back!๐

Horrifying, a third of UK mosques contacted by an undercover reporter were found to be FORCIBLY marrying little girls off to grown men.
Even when the girls cry and say they donโt want to get married, they force them to go through with it.
The imams conducting these marriages say the laws of the infidels donโt matter and that Sharia is supreme.
Iโm sure the actual percentage is much higher, and the mosques that said no were simply being cautious.
How do you keep your humanity when you are fighting for survival, your opponent considers the murder of civilians something to be celebrated and the rest of the world calls you a thief?
Ukraine is trying...

This apology from disability charity Scope, for cancelling my choirโs London Marathon performance because of my gender-critical views, is required to stay on its website for seven days.
Today is Day 6.
Women donโt always get the apologies they deserve. So Iโd be grateful if you could help make sure this one is seen by sharing it over the next 24 hours (link below). ๐
Thanks again to @SpeechUnion for supporting my legal case and helping secure this apology.
The Americans calling Putin an "Humanitarian" is an obscenity, as he cares for the humanity of his own people no more than he does that of his enemies and he cares for them not at all. By such collusion America debauches its very soul.

HORRIFYING: New footage shows Boko Haram Islamic jihadists in Africa massacring Christians with machetes.
This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinians in 3 years of war.
Donโt stop talking about the real genocide of Christians in Nigeria.
Tim's on the road again, far away in land strange and exotic. But nevertheless, here is his down-to-earth summary of events in Ukraine, fact checked as always:
Here's Tim White's daily thread on events in Ukraine. He does this every day and is the simplest way of keeping up with events both military and political.

Well, the Starlink/Starshield debate rages on with claim and counterclaim on both sides, and no doubt will further develop today. Details will be in this thread as ever:
We can't put two passes together! I've pretty much given up on this game!๐ #pompey
Milo and Waddingham have both had free headers three yards out and both missed. Come back, Colby, all is forgiven! #pompey
I'll tell you something, sportsfans: we win a hell of a lot more second balls with Bishop on the pitch. #pompey
New pitch looks good, after all that rain. So much for the doom-mongers. Surprisingly strong bench as well, given all our injuries! PUP! #pompey

On the sixteenth of December 1960 a twelve-year-old boy was put on a table in a San Jose hospital, given electric shocks until he was unconscious, and had an ice pick hammered through the thin bone above each eye and swept from side to side through the front of his brain, because his stepmother had told the doctor he was defiant. The doctor's fee was two hundred dollars.
Howard Dully was a big, clumsy, daydreaming boy whose mother had died when he was five, and his father had married a woman called Lou who could not stand him. She took him to six psychiatrists. All six told her the problem was not the boy. The seventh was Walter Freeman, who had performed more lobotomies than any man alive, who drove between state hospitals in a van he called the lobotomobile doing them by the dozen in an afternoon, with no gloves and no surgical training, and who had once done twenty-five in a day. Freeman's notes on Howard, which Howard did not read for forty-four years, record the symptoms. He objects to going to bed. He turns the lights on when there is broad daylight. He does not react to love or to punishment. He has a savage streak. On that evidence, and Lou's signature, and two hundred dollars, Freeman wrote that the boy would benefit from a transorbital lobotomy and did it four days later.
Howard remembers the table. He remembers waking with two black eyes and a fever and no idea what had been done to him, because nobody told him, then or ever. His father never spoke of it. Lou put him into a state institution the following year, and the boy with the holes in his brain spent the next forty years in and out of asylums, juvenile halls, a jail, halfway houses and the street, drinking, drifting, never quite able to say why he was the way he was, with a photograph that existed somewhere of a doctor in a suit standing over a child with a steel spike in each eye socket.
At fifty-six, driving a school bus, he went to find out. He found his file in Freeman's archive at a university in Washington, in the doctor's own handwriting, and read for the first time what his stepmother had said and what the doctor had agreed to. He went to see his father, who was eighty, and asked him why he had let it happen, and his father said he had been bullied into it. Howard told the story on the radio in 2005 and five million people listened to a man weep over a piece of paper.
Walter Freeman was not a quack. He was a professor of neurology, the man who had brought the lobotomy to America, and the operation had won its inventor the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949. The journals published him. The hospitals booked him. The newspapers called it a miracle. He did it to three and a half thousand people, nineteen of them children, and he kept doing it until 1967, when a patient died on the table and the hospital took his privileges away, and he spent his last years driving the country in the van looking up his old patients to prove it had worked.
That is what settled science looked like from inside, to a twelve-year-old. A mother's complaint, an expert's confidence, a procedure with a prize behind it, two hundred dollars, and a lifetime nobody could give back.
The same institutions now tell you what your child should eat, in the same voice, with the same certainty, and the leaflet has a logo on it. Howard Dully is in his seventies and still cannot say what was taken. Nobody ever apologised.
Another thread from Tim White this morning, soon after the end of the last one as he is travelling to foreign parts! But here are the details of today's events in Ukraine, as ever:
Tim White drags himself in front of a keyboard after a long, long flight to bring you fact-checked reports from Ukraine, as he does every day! Every single day...
