December 25

Wherever you are today, and who ever you are with and whichever religion or none, that you follow, I take this opportunity to wish you and those you love a very peaceful and happy Christmas.

Why criticise Cameron?

So now David Cameron is being criticised for saying we should follow Christian values in the UK and address the 'moral collapse of the country'.

Exactly what is wrong with what he said.

He didn't say you must be Christian.
He didn't say you must have a religion.

He did say, as quoted on the BBC website:

"We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so," 


"Let me be clear: I am not in any way saying that to have another faith - or no faith - is somehow wrong.
"I know and fully respect that many people in this country do not have a religion."

 "But what I am saying is that the Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today."

 Why would someone be offended because David Cameron spoke of encouraging people to stand-up for decent moral values?

Think back to last August. 
Don't you wish that more people had displayed decent moral values? 
Don't you wish more people had followed the examples of the Asian community in Birmingham ?  They paid a very high price for doing the right thing and then displayed a thoroughly decent and highly moral response when three of their loved ones were mown down.
