I usually try to avoid religious comment, as it gets people rather hot under the collar, but two things reported in the news recently have caught my eye.

Firstly, I have long wondered how moderate members of the UKs Jewish faith could remain sikent regarding Isreals behaviour towards the Palestinians. I am very happy today, British Jewish groups have been involved in the protests outside the Israeli Embassy in London, alongside Islamic, Christian and other denominations. Congratulations to those people and groups who braved severely cold weather to show their disgust at the atrocities being carried out in the name of Judaism. I recall hearing a man from the ‘Wiesenthal Centre’ in America claiming that the message of the holocaust was that Jews should arm themselves, rather than that atrocities of this nature must never be allowed to happen again - although, Darfur shows that our politicians do not feel so inclined. I am glad that many Jewish people within Britain share my view, as opposed to the hard right opinion. Thank you and congratulations once again.

The second non-secular issue is regarding our Prime Minister. Having declared that he received ‘a moral compass’ from his Presbyterian Minister father, Gordon’s government has been declared ‘morally bankrupt’ by Christian Archbishops. Will Gordon be leaving his faith and converting to another like his predecessor? Does this mean his compass is demagnitized? As his economic policies are in tatters, his road taxing schene vetoed by the Manchester public, and, his christian morals shredded - will we get an election? Probably not.

Enough religion. Have a super New Year, and don’t over-do it.
