Incidentally, elections are won by the amount of money spent on them
Billionaires the Reuben Bros. have switched their hefty donations from Labour to Reform.
Starmer is currently telling us we are "worried sick". Speak for yourself, I say.

Rupert Lowe makes Nigel Farage look like a raging leftie
(131 Posts)No refugees at all, no migrants and send half of the current ones back etc,etc. Bloody Norah, and he says he has a great deal of support. Scary stuff - worse than Donald . Does he really have a lot of support or is it imagination on his part ?
We may have the same God but Muslims seems to have more passion and zeal for their Prophet and feel they have the sort of missionary zeal that Christianity has moved on from.
The terrorist cells are frightening to the West and must be stopped.
Why all this blowing up? Can anyone explain this logic?
I'm not altogether sure I'm worried about praying. It's a peaceful occupation and Muslims do worship the same god as Christians.
Freya5: "You mean like the Muslims praying masses in the grounds of Westminster abbey. That was an outright intimidation if ever there was one. Look what politicians, especially the arch pro immigration Blair, has enabled into our country. Sectarianism. I await the clash between the two tribes of Iran, the terror lovers, and those against, bloody great.
In 70 odd years have never seen anything like it. That soldier veteran was absolutely spot on with what he said"
This is incoherent Freya5.

When a lady can't quote the bible in England on the street then we are in a very volatile, dangerous situation.
We need a new positive direction and that's Reform.It was a man doing the preaching. It was the police officer who was female, and he did continue to preach.
It is difficult to think of any area in England inhabited mainly by practicing evangelical Christians, but if a Christian were to go to a heavily Jewish area and try to evangelise and preach just outside a synagogue, on their holy day, I think they would meet objections., and I would think that reasonable.
To my mind for anyone of any religious belief to go into the heart of an enclave of another religious group on their holyday and stand out side their place of worship and preach, is an act of passive aggression.You mean like the Muslims praying masses in the grounds of Westminster abbey.

Struggling to comprehend these incoherent ramblings. Who was bothered by Muslims praying?
Who loves terror please? Do you mean people on this site?

No, sixandhalf. He had lovely blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes. You’ve obviously not seen the paintings and movies 😉
Wasn't Jesus a dark skinned refugee?
It's laughable really.

Most religions seek to recruit others as part of their creeds. Evangelism is part of being a Christian but commonsense should be used, obviously. I wouldn’t think quoting the Bible in itself should lead to condemnation but of course it does. Christians have been persecuted for many years and still are but it is not supposed to be talked about. Every other anti is condemned of course, but it seems ok to be anti Christian.
Is that happening in Australia? It isn't happening in the UK.
I have not noticed any anti Christian activities in Britain, nanna8. Perhaps it is other places you are referring to.
'Love thy neighbour as thyself'
Is that part of Farage Christianity?

Someone I know has been eulogising about him on Facebook and asking people to join his party. I think he taps into peoples nostalgic idea of what they want the country to return to even though that country never actually existed and if it did it certainly didn’t exist for the poor and underprivileged. Having said that it is worrying that anyone could make Farages ideas appear moderate.
Honest Bob doesn’t do too bad a job at that, either!

I think that I , and my fellow vegetarians might be a little too " snowflakey" in Mr Lowe's alternative universe: our choices don't reflect good British food from 1952.
I imagine that we might be force fed liver.
Made me laugh anyway, CLG

How will we manage without our mobile phones amd other electronic devices.
Do they plan to keep the Ten Commandments in the new Christian UK?

Think we’d be burned at the stake…
As an atheist, I wonder what would happen to me in Lowe’s ‘brave new Christian world’🤔
Luckygirl 12.28- I agree that is one benefit!
Farage's reputation of being a controlling " my way is the highway' style of leader has been widely reported. As Reform UK grows in numbers factions will develop and Farage will find it increasingly difficult to manage varying factions or deviation from his directives. I suspect that may lead to increasing number of public disagreements and other breakaway parties forming.
Reform Uk's poll ratings appear to have peaked and have fallen recently- I hope that continues and is sustained.
I am very happy for people to join his new party, thus splitting the risible rampant right and reducing the electoral danger from Reform. All power to his elbow I say!

Yes, as a churchgoer, I'm interested in the restoring Christianity plans.
He's not outlined how he will achieve this - perhaps he sees himself as Billy Graham.
