Blair Resigns as British Prime Minister

May 10, 2007

I have often said that one aspect of the American political system that is sensible is term limits for the president. It is no great surprise to anyone that Tony Blair has today announced his intention to resign as prime minister at the end of June. In so doing, he has achieved a rare thing [...]

US ELECTION – Dipping My Toe Into a Can of Worms

April 19, 2007

Up until now, I have mostly resisted getting drawn into commenting on US politics. I still think I probably won’t do too many of these kinds of posts — I’ve always thought it was none of my business! But tell me, my fair readers, do you want me to talk more about all this? I [...]

IRAQ – A Clash of Worldviews

March 12, 2007

This story retold by Chuck Colson brought a little bit of warmth to my day. In all the horrors of the ongoing war in Iraq — and let’s not forget U.S. soldiers are also at times the ones firing on their enemies — a bit of humanity, or rather the image of God, shines through [...]

The definition of when “life” enters a baby who is in the womb is a challenge for anyone who believes that it is at a different point from conception or at least implantation.

Wayne Grudem on America’s Election

November 4, 2006

Wayne Grudem has published an article which is strongly in support of Bush and the Republicans. What is interesting to me as a Brit is that I could never imagine a leading Christian in the UK endorsing a politician this robustly. And yet you are the ones who separate church and state – not us.

Terri Schiavo – murdered by the American System?

March 31, 2005

Terri has died in a way quite bizarre to me as a UK observer. How can it be that both the governor of the state and the president can express a desire for a different outcome and yet this woman was starved to death. How can the US parliment and courts disagree so publically? Why [...]

A people divided by a common cause?

November 12, 2004

Like most British people there are definitely two sides to my perception of Americans. Firstly, I have to confess to a certain degree of admiration, almost envy. Everything about the US is so much bigger and more extreme than the UK. You are the world super power we Brits conquered other nations to be without [...]
