Christian, family, fitness free-speech, social conservative, speaks on man-woman marriage and related, coaches, sight loss. Pathological optimist Personal views
Some people literally hate you for saying it. But it’s not a moral judgement, a value statement, or a bias preference – it’s based on the abundance of evidence from everywhere.
Man-woman marriage works: for kids for adults and for society.
📣🚨 FSU Victory!!
The Free Speech Union has just heard from South Wales Police that it has withdrawn its guidance on “anti-Muslim hostility”.
The force had effectively adopted its own Islamic blasphemy law, instructing officers to record any conversation that went beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam.
Under this guidance, criticism of Islam could have been recorded as an anti-social behaviour incident and potentially appeared on DBS checks, affecting someone’s ability to work as a teacher, carer, or in other regulated professions.
South Wales Police has backed down because the Free Speech Union threatened them with a judicial review if it chose to press ahead with the policy.
The force has described this move as a “pause” to the guidance — but we think it is highly unlikely to return.
We must also thank Shadow Equalities Minister @ClaireCoutinho for referring South Wales Police to the Equality and Human Rights Commission after we brought this issue to her attention.
Blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament 18 years ago. We must not allow them to return through the back door.
Let this be a warning to any other public body — particularly police forces — considering the adoption of its own blasphemy laws.

@Unapologx “Born gay” is not scientific. It comes from the 1989 Book After the Ball. Kirk and Madsen were pragmatic marketers who pushed “born this way” because it worked politically, not because the data demanded it.
If only there was a good explanation of the different Christian denominations. Oh, wait, there is …

@RoyalMail your guy came to collect without the label I’d paid for. I’m registered blind, so no, I can’t “just print it”. It’s not about the 30p (though yes I want that back), it’s more about the complete lack of ownership and impenetrable customer services. I need a number or an email to vent please!
Poland Under Heavy Fire From Anti-Marriage Forces - Olivier Bault interview with Tony Rucinski.
"On 30 April 2026, President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the Tusk government’s ‘express divorce’ Bill. “A Las Vegas-style marriage – quickly entered into and easy to end – may be a cinematic scene,” he said. “In a serious state, laws and statutes are not the writing of a film script.”
The Bill would have let couples without children dissolve a marriage at a civil registry desk. No court. No reflection. It would have transformed marriage, Olivier says, “into entering a trial period where the actual commitment would come about only with the first child”.
The pressure has been building for months. The EU’s top court had ordered Poland to recognise foreign same-sex marriages contracted in other EU states. The Tusk government approved a ‘cohabitation agreement’ Bill that extends partnership recognition to same-sex couples. Then the dam broke.
On 7 May, days before our interview, Poland’s Supreme Administrative Court forced three more civil registries to transcribe foreign same-sex marriages. On 12 May, Prime Minister Donald Tusk apologised to same-sex couples “who, for many, many years, felt rejected and humiliated” by Poland’s refusal to recognise their relationships. “For many years”, he continued, “the state has failed the test”.
Why fight so hard over a few same-sex marriages? Because the legal logic is one-way. Every child has a biological mother and a biological father, and no same-sex couple can be both. Recognise their ‘marriage’ in law as equal to a man-and-woman marriage, and the State must rewrite who a parent is.
Poland’s Digital Affairs Ministry has already proposed replacing the civil registry’s man-and-woman marriage categories with “first spouse” and “second spouse”.
Marriage is what ties a child to their biological mother and father. Redefine it, and the state – not biology, not the vows of the parents – decides who a child’s parents are. “Families are the stronghold of our liberties”, Olivier says. “It is a lot harder for state authorities to have control over citizens when you have strong families.”
Poland’s defence rests on one constitutional sentence and one office. Article 18 places marriage, family, motherhood and parenthood under the protection of the Republic as the union of a man and a woman.
President Nawrocki uses that sentence and his veto to hold the line. The last attempt to override one of his vetoes got 244 votes in favour, 180 against – short of the three-fifths threshold the Constitution requires."

Sorry me recommending @howertonjosh again. I don’t care, he’s right…

People who go to religious services more often are less likely to identify as liberal.
This is a fundamental fact of American religion and politics.
It's not just white people.
It's every single racial group. Higher attendance = less liberal.
An important article. Secular truths Christians should know. (albeit written by an ordained woman!)
