Musings on faith, society and whatever else gets me going from one of a tradition of turbulent clerics.
A disturbing article by John Pilger on the death of freedom as printed in this weeks's New Statesman is to be found on I Noodle site with introduction from Sean

I am a 52 year old Methodist minister based in Nottingham having served as a layworker on Isle of Man and a minister in Bideford. Married to the long suffering Andrea for 22 years, we have two great children. James is 18 years old and Kaye is 16 years old. I am theologically a liberal evangelical. I believe that faith influences political judgements so I am a convinced believer that it is imperative to support the poor and the powerless and to seek to promote their interests above all others.If this puts me on the left so be it. The views on my personal blog are mine alone and do not represent those of the Methodist Church or any of the congregations that I serve.

I've commented on these issues myself over at Longrider Blog. Perhaps if enough of us shout loudly and often enough, the masses will see what is staring them in the face. Given that both major political parties support the agenda of electoral dictatorship, conventional politics is a dead end.
There was a time when I was proud of the tradition of freedom in this country. Now, I am deeply ashamed.
PS - I understand you may be acquainted with my nephew, Harry.
