Are you worried about people losing their jobs because of what they believe and say about it? Maybe it doesn’t matter as long as it’s only Christians who lose their jobs after expressing their beliefs. Last month we saw the Australian rugby player Israel Folau sacked because he would not retract a social media post …

'Health' education now includes 'LGBT issues'. Who knew? This puts me in mind of George Orwell, who came up with 'newspeak' …

Today's edition of The Guardian contains an opinion piece in support of allowing one of the teenage jihadi-brides from London - Shamima Begum - to 'come home'. Hmm. That's the 'home' that was specifically rejected by these girls as they chose to leave it to go and live in that social utopia and outstanding beacon …

Hurrah for women’s rights! 'We’re saying that here in New York, women’s health matters. We’re saying here in New York, women’s lives matter. We’re saying here in New York, women’s decisions matter.'
