Another Sunday Sermon.
Further to yesterdays post. It now
transpires that the children, (there were more than one) who were
taken away from their adoptive parents by a local council's social
services department, because they belonged to a political party that
wants independence from Europe, were from Eastern Europe. Does this
make any difference to the decision, or should it? The answer is No!
That is unless this is some new policy by UKIP and other right wing
parties, to encourage its members to adopt children from non British
backgrounds in order to harm them, no matter how cynical and
untrusting I am of politicians, especially those that lean to the
right, and how much I love a conspiracy theory, I don't think that
this is the case at the moment.
Many people, including MP's may think
that UKIP are one short goose step away from the BNP, but
unfortunately that's the price we have to pay for living in a
democratic society; the freedom of speech and free elections, which
is why everyone should be allowed their say, no matter how odious
their policies are, just because they have their say it doesn't mean
people have to listen, but it's hard for some to distinguish the
truth from the media’s propaganda and the politicians lies, they
read it in the papers and see it on the news, so it must be true.
The headlines on one of todays papers
scream that David Cameron is “Set to defy Leveson over new press
laws” do we believe that? No we don't, I mean just how many U
turns has this present government done over things recently, I've
lost count.
I'm sick of the celebrity culture
created by the media, and their perpetuation of it, I'm sick of the
scapegoating and stigmatisation of some sections of society in the
pages of the right wing press, just as much as I'm sick of the
liberal lefty sit on the fence stance adopted by other publications.
Banning the banal, the libellous and the trivial might make Britain a
better society, but it will also make it a less free one.
