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?

Would the Bondi Beach massacre have been less likely without Muslim immigration?
I saw this claim on Facebook recently. It seems that the person posting knows nothing of either history or the human heart. History is sadly full of examples of antisemitism and violent atrocities against Jews. Here in England, there are too many brutal examples. There was the massacre of Jews trapped in Clifford’s Tower, York… Continue reading Would the Bondi Beach massacre have been less likely without Muslim immigration?
If you want people to show a right welcome to asylum seekers and immigrants then… (Responding to Christopher Wickland part 3)
In his sermon which we have been looking at, Christopher Wickland tells us that he wants to nuance the argument he is making. Specifically he claims to have had a prophetic dream where he saw an uprising of some, not all Muslims and the population of the UK became afraid of Muslims generally. The result… Continue reading If you want people to show a right welcome to asylum seekers and immigrants then… (Responding to Christopher Wickland part 3)
The truth about the economy and immigration – a response to Christopher Wickland’s “prophecy”
Have a watch of this “sermon” from Christopher Wickland. There are a number of things that we would want to pick up on in it. However, I want to pick up specifically on one particular claim. In the talk, Wickland claims to have seen, through prophetic visions, an economic crisis, in fact, he claims to… Continue reading The truth about the economy and immigration – a response to Christopher Wickland’s “prophecy”
The truth about migrants and crime
One of the ways that the far right are seeking to promote fear is by blaming immigration for violent crime. There are numerous reasons as to why this is false. I’ve previously shared data showing that there isn’t a greater risk of violent crime from migrants. Here is some further data from Fraser Nelson. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BTZQB61vN/… Continue reading The truth about migrants and crime
Why attempts to ban Islam are self defeating
I’ve seen a number of suggestions that countries like the UK should respond to the perceived threat of Islamisation with force. Not, of course physical force but a muscular legal, cultural and political response. I tend to disagree with these suggestions because as a Christian, I’ve got different priorities. My concern is to see God’s… Continue reading Why attempts to ban Islam are self defeating
What does it actually mean to love your Muslim neighbour
One thing that struck me about the reactions to my video on loving your Muslim neighbour is that noone bothered to ask what I meant by love. I wonder how many assumed it was to do with soppy feelings. I wonder how many assumed it meant caving in to others without challenging them. What if… Continue reading What does it actually mean to love your Muslim neighbour
If the problem is Islam then the answer is … Love and get to know your Muslim neighbours
I’ve written a little recently and shared some videos talking about how we engage with Muslims, how we get to know and love them as neighbours. I’ve discovered that nothing seems to get people’s ire as the suggestion that we should get to know and love Muslims. The assumption seems to be that I’m naive… Continue reading If the problem is Islam then the answer is … Love and get to know your Muslim neighbours
Immigrants and asylum seekers are neighbours to be loved and welcomed not invaders to fear
I recently observed to a friend that when it comes to antisemitism we seem to find ourselves compelled to defend and reason rather than simply call out the racism for what it is. However, I’ve realised that actually that isn’t so unique to antisemitism within Evsngelical Christian circles. Rather, the same pressures are there as… Continue reading Immigrants and asylum seekers are neighbours to be loved and welcomed not invaders to fear
Before you start citing Enoch Powell please actually read his “Rivers of blood” speech
One of the rules of political debate on social media is that at some point, someone is going to mention Adolph Hitler. However, there is an even more specific rule, specific to the UK and to debate about immigration and multiculturalism. It’s that at some point, someone will announce that Enoch Powell was right and… Continue reading Before you start citing Enoch Powell please actually read his “Rivers of blood” speech
