Thank God?

The following is taken from The Scotsman linked from here.

An anti-EU vicar will tomorrow hold a service thanking God for the European election results.

The Reverend Philip Foster will hold the Thanksgiving as a “sign of God’s mercy on our country in recent days”.

Mr Foster said the success of the UK Independence Party in the polls showed Europhiles were beatable.

In a letter to members of the congregation of St Matthew’s Church in Cambridge he wrote: “I thought after the European election results that it might be good to have this service of thanksgiving.

“I believe that we have seen the tide turn for this country, but as Churchill remarked after El Alamein (when the Germans were at last perceived as being beatable) ‘this is the end of the beginning’.

“So today we have seen the EU’s proponents are beatable. But we need to recognise that ultimately it is by God’s mercy we are seeing this change and that it would be right to give Him thanks.”

The invitation to the service was printed in UKIP’s purple and gold colours.

The service was brought to light by the Green Party. A spokesman said: “The service may not go exactly according to plan as it may be revealed to the congregation how right-wing UKIP’s policies are.”


Sad is it not, that earnest and feeling people such as this - dedicated to the return of sovereignty and democracy to their country, should be deceived and betrayed by the existing political parties we have all learnt to totally distrust, but also - through the actions of those spawned by that system such as Knapman and Merchant - now also be betrayed by those they believe are leading the cause to restore our rights and freedoms?
