The kind of nationalism we see expressed in Raising the Colours and Unite the Kingdom expresses genuine desires. We sometimes identify those desires in terms of identity, comfort and security We see the need for identity when people look for a cause to belong to and a nation that they can be proud of. The… Continue reading Subversive fulfilment and the bit that Christian Nationalism omits

What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
I’ve seen a few comments from Christians, particularly those identifying as Christian Nationalists promoting Restore Britian as the political party to get behind. This, by Aaron Edwards, is a more extensive treatment of the subject than the usual social media comments. The basis for this is that Lowe has talked about a return to Christian… Continue reading What do Restore Britain really stand for and why are Christian Nationalists supporting them?
Hope for the city: Urban Mission theory and practice
One of the arguments made by prominent Christian Nationalists is that they are, by building alliances with Tommy Robinson and others regarded as on the Far Right, is that they are seeking to reach a neglected people (white working class) with the Gospel. They argue that they are doing something noone else is interested in.… Continue reading Hope for the city: Urban Mission theory and practice
The facts relating to the Henry Nowak case (2) What is the law in relation to arrest and handcuffing?
I thought it was worth going a little further in attempting to provide some of the factual foundations that need to underpin a discussion both about the Henry Nowak case and the broader circumstances including discussions about policing practices and especially allegations of “two-tier policing” targeting white British people. Ian Paul has written on his… Continue reading The facts relating to the Henry Nowak case (2) What is the law in relation to arrest and handcuffing?
Restore Britain on religious freedom
Rupert Lowe posted the following on Facebook. I would like to make the following brief observations. 1. The reasons are to do with cultural nationalism not safety. The issue is whether or not they are “British”. 2. That included in their list is “kosher” food. At least there is consistency here. Most people who talk… Continue reading Restore Britain on religious freedom
We don’t all have a Nineveh
I want to pick up on a point that came up in a recent conversation I had following the latest Unite the Kingdom rally. Someone suggested that we should learn from the story of Jonah. Perhaps those on the marches were like the Ninevites and needed someone to go to them. I suggested that there… Continue reading We don’t all have a Nineveh
What would you need to survive in the desert?
This was our starter question at a recent Life Group. There were suggestions about methods for storing water and food. One person suggested that a compass to help find your way out might be useful. We rule out “Bear Grylls” and “the Amazon app” as breaking the spirit of the rules of the game. The… Continue reading What would you need to survive in the desert?
The murder of Henry Nowak
I’ve read a lot of commentary over the past week concerning the Henry Nowak case. Much of it involves reaction to what people assume to be the problem. However any response and analysis needs to engage with the actual facts available to us. I thought it might be helpful to try and set that out,… Continue reading The murder of Henry Nowak
The day I achieved world domination
So …. These notifications popped up on my WordPress menu recently. If only Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had realised that you could gain world domination by simply running a blog! It would make for a more peaceful world. I suspect that this reflects an attempt to align WordPress with other platforms and tools. You… Continue reading The day I achieved world domination
On double standards
Over the past few days, I’ve heard a number of complaints about hypocrisy and double standards in response to Henry Nowak. Some of them are, I think, unfair. No, prominent people have not “taken the knee” as they did in response to the George Floyd murder. However, that was a very specific symbolic response and… Continue reading On double standards
