Nice Today, Where Next?

News flashes are jumping across my T.V.  screen. People running for their lives, police sirens wailing, paramedics in emergency vehicles, panic everywhere. It is in France. It is on Bastille Day, and, before ever the rest of the news has been filled in, I know that it is another terrorist attack and that this latest act of savagery will have been the handiwork of a radical muslim.
No more spin from the media please. No more politically correct verbiage from the politicians. No more soothing phrases and long, lachrymose adjectives from those who know better than the rest of us.
Islamic terror is the greatest menace to the peace, prosperity and personal safety of our generation and some one, somewhere, has to face up to the fact. If that is Donald Trump in America, so be it. But whoever the leaders are in the western nations the moment has arrived and in the name of all that is truth and sanity LEAD.
And when you lead do not lump Christianity into the madness that is called multi-faith/multi-culturism.
Christ and His people stand AGAINST and ABOVE all that we now see happening in the name of religion.

Jubilate OUR GOD REIGNS!

Enter the New Prime Minister

Having campaigned against the exit of Britain from the European Union, David Cameron made his own exit from his office of Prime Minister. It was a sudden one and, just as quickly, he was replaced this afternoon by Theresa May his erstwhile right hand lady who has been duly given the keys to # 10 Downing Street.

How strange that first ladies are appearing everywhere: Nicola Sturgeon, head of the Scottish Nationalist Party, Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany and Theresa herself, now Prime Minister of the U.K.

Back in the days of the Ancient Greeks there were three goddesses that led the nation a merry dance. They had fine names as well:

Fate, Fury and Fortune.

It remains to be seen what will be reserved in the future for my home and native land but let us earnestly hope that it is more in the way of good Fortune than sinister Fate or Fury.

I, for one, do not envy Theresa in her new job.

Words of Sir Walter Scott come to mind which  he penned many years ago concerning the rule of people. Allow me to quote them.

" Who o'er the herd would wish to reign,

Fantastic, fickle, fierce and vain?

Vain as the leaf upon the stream,

And fickle as a changeful dream;

Fantastic as a woman's mood,

And fierce as Frenzied fevered blood.

Thou many-headed monster thing.

O who would wish to be thy king?"

Stay tuned, its going to be an interesting ride.

Jubilate.

Ian
