I wonder if we turned up at the gay mardi gras and handed out anti-homosexual tracts and wore provocative t-shirts if we would have had the same generous reception.

I have to say, I am not a Catholic anymore but the enthusiasm of all the youngsters wandering the city singing hymns and having a general enthusiasm for Jesus and Christianaity warms my heart.

Yes the networks can be quite unhelpful and unresponsive. But we need to have our voices heard. You can also contact ACMA, although they tend to be not much better: www.acma.gov.au/WEB/HOMEPAGE/PC=HOME
As I say, targeting the advertisers can be quite effective as well. It may be frustrating to go through these processes, but we must keep at it. So thanks for speaking up, and keep trying.

The BBC and ITV’s attempt to scramble and gut Allan Craig’s text of his London mayoral election broadcast, of any meaning and sense, should stand as another warning signal as to the way the British nation is insidiously being converted to secularism. His Christian voice, may be the last heard in British politics, before the lights go out completely.

This year’s televised London mayoral contest was nothing but another version of Big Brother, with Brian Paddick being included as the obligatory homosexual representative of an oppressed, bullied, minority victim class that would include many who presently run the government and media industry. One wonders why the BBC and ITV didn’t included a transvestite or transgender person in the line up? Obviously, for fear that this might wake up the British public, they need to tread softly. Next time definitely.

Ever since the sixties, there have been numerous signs on the broad and gently sloping highway of moral decay in Britain. One of many that flashed past, unnoticed, was in 2003 when Big Brother was about to fold and it was claimed by Barbara Ellen in the Sunday Observer, August 22nd 2004, that this was due to a Christian, Cameron Stout from Aberdeen, winning the contest! She said:

“It wouldn’t be too wild a claim to say that Nadia (a transvestite) has single-handedly ‘saved’ the Big Brother franchise. She certainly revitalised it, giving it a much broader and deeper emotional appeal. Big Brother 2003, when ‘Cameron the Christian’ won, was an acknowledged flop. This year, the makers, Endemol, pulled out all the stops, delivering ‘evil’ Big Brother. They were rewarded with nude lawn-mowing, bitterly polarised cliques, sex under a table, and a fight so bad the show was taken off the air temporarily, not to mention the customary newspaper headlines screaming about exploitation and the moral decline of the nation. Whether you loved it or loathed it, or did both at once, no one could deny that Big Brother was on form again.”

Is it really a fact of life that the public no longer wants to hear the true truth and, like the baying mob attending the gladiatorial contests of Roman times, only want their itching ears to be entertained with the latest idea? Even serious debating programmes like the BBC’s Question Time, with David Dimbleby in the Chair, is also becoming a public spectacle, where transvestites, like Grayson Perry, sit side by side with serious politicians and reasoned debate is drowned by the baying mob. Finally the English, liberal Christians, drown out truth by respectable, slow handclapping and hymns that must be a stench in the God’s nostrils. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7504472.stm

Well done in all your efforts to expose this garbage TV for what it is!
