David Cameron’s Big Mistake



One of the biggest blunders David Cameron, the then Prime Minister of Britain, made in relation to the referendum, about staying in orleaving Europe, was to bring Barack Obama over to tell us what to do. For the ordinary man in the street, the ones Cameron does not understand, this was like a red flag to a bull.  Obama, with veiled threats told us it was vital for us to stay in Europe.  The ordinary man reacted in a knee jerk way saying,   ”Who does he think he is telling us what to do?  I hadn’t made up my mind how to vote, but now I will vote “leave.” Suddenly the little man found he really had a chance to make a difference.  He was not voting for a party just like all the other parties with nothing much to choose between them, no he was voting in a big decision between two very different policies, to stay in or to leave Europe. This wasn’t voting for a politician he did not trust whichever side they came from.  Most likely for some it was a vote against Cameron who brought in the bedroom tax which grabbed back money from the poorest.  After all Cameron didn’t provide more single bedroom flats for people to move to.  While the rich lived in comfort the poor got poorer.  The economy may be important but the well being of the people is more important.  When you lose touch with the little man you have to go.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
