Ok so it seems that the vast majority of us weren't aware of the invasive bill the government are pushing through that gives them the right to look at our bank accounts. They did this very quietly. This includes pensioners, carers, anyone who claims child benefit. Most of us.

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

There are literally people who claim to be Christians who are defending Israel’s bombing of one of Christianity’s oldest churches, there in Gaza… which, even more sacred than the iconic building, was filled with precious women and children, many of whom are Palestinian Christians.

The devil is a liar.

Every Christian in America, and around the globe should be asking right now: “What would Jesus, the Prince of Peace, do?”

Let me suggest that he would not bless this violence.

Jesus blessed those who mourn. He blessed the widows and the orphans. He blessed the poor. And Jesus blessed the peacemakers, not the war makers.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Biden is wrong.
We should never have unconditional support for Israel, or any other country.

We must have unconditional love and endless compassion… but we should never support any country as it is poised to kill thousands of children and civilians. Punishing the people of Gaza for the evils of Hamas is wrong.

The terrorized can quickly become the terrorizers.

We must never stand with anyone that kills civilians and children, whether it is Hamas or the State of Israel.

Jesus: ‘come to me all who are weary and burdened’.

UK Gov: ‘⛔️ you’re too much of a burden.’

Whoever you are. Whatever ‘journey’. Jesus will never reject you. He doesn’t see YOU as illegal.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.

10 days ago I sent Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt a letter (below) asking him to postpone the govt's 20% increase in energy bills on 1 April.

Since, SEVENTY major charities (below), & the energy industry trade body have signed up to support the letter.
