I'm a great believer in democracy in by all means lets have lots of choice(even UKIP) of course having gained the 3 seats on District one could go in Priory(likely to) and the one in Aycliffe is on a knife edge, once theres an election shes unlikely to hold the seat
Our Tower hamlets geezer could be the only survivor
But as a party there at a dead end now.

More like, cut from the same cloth as the Tories.

Is this a First for Dover Forum? A Bishop slating a fellow man of the cloth?

At least the Forum has a full blown Bishop, no inference to be drawn from that description.

But surely the good Lord was a Conservative?
In John 14:2 he is quoted as saying 'In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you'.
He makes no mention of providing social housing for the chosen?

Good Lord, was He? I always thought that the feeding of the multitude(s) had a not-for-profit feeling. A bit like Glastonbury, without the admission fee or mud.

It is implied. Have faith! (At times I may lapse and question why I must suffer the children, but a few Hail Marys and I am back on track.)

But I always understood it as social housing being provided in the other place, Hell being a bit like a warmer version of St Radigunds but without the white goods dumped in the front gardens, with purgatory being a sort of bed-and- breakfast temporary accommodation which people live in while expiating their sin before allocation for permanent housing?

Besides, isn't "the other place" the 'ouse of Lords?

Thank you your Grace for pointing out these passages which I have been meditating upon.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 however clearly warns that ' time and chance happeneth to them all' and whilst He may well 'bless the home of the upright' just try telling that to Job, who in spite of being 'blameless' and 'upright' , 'fearing God' and 'shunning evil' (Job 1:1) gets all sorts of grief heaped upon him.
Whilst trusting, as ever, in the word of the Lord, nevertheless I have renewed my house insurance just in case.

By pointing out Ecclesiastes 9:11, you've unwittingly stumbled upon the great truth. The good/great/grand Lord is a closet Marxist!

UKIP have announced they will be fielding around 100 candidates on June 8th and none of them will stand in a Tory seat with a Eurosceptic MP.

UKIP will keep being funded to soak up the labour vote and neutralise the B N P

The BNP are effectively finished and their members spread across many neo Nazi groups.

It really depends now how much you dislike this govt
whilst democracy is a great thing a lot of the parties will have much the same views on the govt problem is by standing will probably keep them in number 10
of course we do also need credible alternative.
I did find UKIPS Political advert on TV recently Mr Nuttall said cllrs across the country were opposing increases in cllrs allowances
sadly he hadn't contacted the UKIP Kent County cllrs one of the first things they proposed, was to increase cllrs allowances!!!
