🚨 VICAR WARNS THE CHURCH IS ON A "PATH TO ANNIHILATION".
A Church of England vicar is warning that Britain's parish churches are heading for real trouble unless things change.
Rev Marcus Walker, founder of Save the Parish, says years of church closures, overstretched vicars, shrinking budgets and fewer volunteers have pushed many local parishes to breaking point. His campaign says more than 400 Church of England churches closed between 2010 and 2019.
He's now calling on Church leaders to put more money back into local parishes and support the churches that baptise our children, celebrate our marriages and bury our loved ones.
Do you think enough is being done to protect Britain's parish churches?
@KhadijaKhan__@OxfordUnion A one time in England there used to be Critical Thinking and the strength of an argument would win. Nowadays ideology trumps debate & ideology is infused into every aspect of society. Traditionally this was a satirical country, but free speech & thought has now been weaponised.
My thoughts on the debate at @OxfordUnion whether the West is right to be suspicious of Islam.
People who were defending Islam badly lost the debate. Yes, I said it.
The Starmer Government set up a Working Group to come up with an official definition of Islamophobia.
The group was an echo chamber in which every member had already reached the same conclusion: that a definition was needed. The FSU also revealed that all five members had links to Islamist organisations, two of which successive UK Governments have maintained a policy of non-engagement with.
Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy asked to see the responses submitted to the Working Group’s consultation — a consultation that the FSU was not invited to take part in, despite our serious free speech concerns.
@NJ_Timothy has now revealed something deeply troubling in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s response to his request.
Every single response received by the Working Group has been deleted.
Coincidence?
BREAKING: A group of illegal migrants have been caught emerging from the back of a lorry in Essex this afternoon.
This incident is exactly why we need Operation Fortress.
Reform UK will stop illegal immigration like this, and increase border security.
@peterboghossian I wish everybody would stop calling Jason Arday the 'Plagiarist Professor' he may have made some errors on his CV, but he'll always be the 5th Beatle.
