The Lord?s Prayer Still Most Recognised Text in English Language Wed Jul 09, 2025 09:00 | Harry Phibbs
The Church of England commissioned a poll in the hope of finding The Lord?s Prayer was disliked by most church-goers and needed updating. To its horror, the vast majority of them love it just as it is.

The ?Fair Trials for Grooming Gangs? Protests Are a Disgrace Wed Jul 09, 2025 07:00 | Laurie Wastell
The 'fair trials for grooming gangs' protests are a disgrace, says Laurie Wastell. Ostensibly advocating impartial justice, protest members call "the Rochdale thing" a lie while the leader's brother is in jail for rape.

Jump To Comment: 1This campaign does not address the root cause, i.e. capitalism, I agree. That is quite self evident. However, success in this one issue campaign may make many otherwise resigned and passive citizens ( lacking the revolutionary consciousness necessary for an anti capitalist revolution) realise that they DO have power when they join together against the wishes of the establishment to oppress them.
This realisation, that they are not powerless and that united they are strong, is a first and very necessary step towards awakening and galvanising support amongst the people for your anti capitalist revolution.
I have no doubt that revolutions in the past began with wide public disquiet at government behaviour initially manifesting itself in such one issue campaigns of resistance which grew as the confidence of the people grew. This kind of campaign is a necessary first step towards the wider revolution against capitalism which you are advocating.
Yet here you are on the eve of one of these key protests, which has so strongly inspired the people to "rise up", posting a divisive piece undermining this protest which, if people were to take you seriously, would discourage them from participating. I find this very curious behaviour for someone advocating revolution. It's more like the behaviour of a divisive government agent. But that would be no surprise since the left has long since been infiltrated by such people regularly promoting divisive self destructive backbiting and infighting instead of working together for common cause.
I hope you will be taking part in the nationwide protests tomorrow Paddy, despite your stated misgivings, otherwise why should anyone really listen to an armchair revolutionary like you? Because nothing concrete would ever get done. Just talk. And that would only serve the agenda of those in power. Because talk is cheap. Real action by the citizens is what they fear. I'll see you at the protest. Or else you should just hang up your pen in shame.
