I have read AC's post and it is akin to all the cases of 'child-abduction' carried out by social services on which Christopher Booker has been so eloquent in the Sunday Telegraph - and which is also a national disgrace.WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-17639074097302671512011-06-19T08:08:20.186-07:002011-06-19T08:08:20.186-07:00Unhappy Father’s Day

So distressing are the facts of this case, and so upsetting some of the details, that it beggars belief that such injustice compounded upon injustice might be possible in this enlightened era of ‘human rights’, in which the UK cannot deport 102 foreign criminals because of their 'right to a family life'. And yet our ‘Family Courts’ treat some of our own fathers with utter contempt, inculcating the belief not only that they are worth less than the immigrant, but making them feel that they are possibly even less than fully human.<br /><br />http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2011/06/unhappy-fathers-day.html<br /><br />Read it and weep, as his grace says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-82056026766082177092011-06-19T07:46:44.764-07:002011-06-19T07:46:44.764-07:00Coincidentally or whatever, Up Pompeii also has an...Coincidentally or whatever, Up Pompeii also has an article on MC and Islamisation of the UK on Education. The process is without doubt, a deliberate piece of social engineering, to turn this once stalwart pillar of Christendom to a weak reed of MC.<br /> ----------------<br /><br /><b>The State that was - the State that is, and the State that will be </b><br /><br /> The 1944 act gave local education authorities the duty to contribute towards the spiritual, moral, mental and physical development of the community. So significant was this provision considered, that it was strengthened in subsequent legislation and defined as spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, or SMSC in shorthand. Providing for pupils' SMSC development is an important and, in my view, essential contemporary purpose of education..........chief inspector of schools, David Bell <br /><br /> The Butler act was repealed in 1996 This coincides rather nicely with the advent of "multiculturalism and the subsequent election of Nu Labour in 1997.<br /><br />http://uppompeii1.uppompeii.com/2011/06/19/the-state-that-was---the-state-that-is-and-the-state-that-will-be.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-48340806829573501092011-06-19T02:34:01.038-07:002011-06-19T02:34:01.038-07:00DP: Very good point and one which I should have me...DP: Very good point and one which I should have mentioned - Damn!WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-29894620301714114632011-06-18T13:57:16.219-07:002011-06-18T13:57:16.219-07:00At the heart of our work is the principle that civ...At the heart of our work is the principle that civic society is most effective <b>when its citizens are connected with the institutions and individuals</b> who represent them in the democratic process."<br /><br />No. A civic society is most effective when its institutions are the servants of the citizens.
