Bishop of Blackburn urges people to 'reject politics of hate'

- By Chris Hopper » Reporter
THE Bishop of Blackburn has urged East Lancashire people to vote and defeat ‘the politics of hate’ in the forthcoming General Election.
WIth experts predicting an election on May 6, the Rt Rev Nicholas Reade has rejected suggestions the church should stay out of politics.
Instead, in an address tomorrow to members of the Blackburn Diocesan Synod, he will set out the issues he believes Christians need to consider before deciding who to vote for.
Urging voters to reject extremist parties, Bishop Reade will say: “God's Kingdom is not just the Church, but it embraces the world as well. That means God is also concerned with what you and I do on May 6, or whatever date the Prime Minister chooses.
“In difficult economic times there are always those who are tempted to look for solutions among extreme political parties, and we need to underline that the politics of hatred can never come up with a solution to our problems.
“Hate won't repay one penny of the money the banks lost in 2008. Hate isn't going to build one single affordable home.”
And in an obvious reference to the 2007 closure of Burnley General Hospital’s emergency department, he will add: “Hate isn't going to reopen a closed accident and emergency unit.”
The Bishop will also urge Christian voters to show 'bias' to the poor when voting on economics and bias to strangers on law and order issues.
He will add: “I hope the people of our diocese and county will not wander towards apathy in the coming weeks, but rather renew their political commitment for God's sake, not ours.
“Otherwise we are in danger of becoming unjust stewards of the democracy for which many have died, and failing citizens of the kingdom Jesus died to establish.”
Members of the Blackburn Diocesan Synod will meet tomorrow in Preston.

The right wing political correctness club are up in arms. He should not be allowed to say this. How dare he express an opinion which criticises our moral choices. He should be silenced.
The Bishop has every right to express his views. The Bishop has every right to say what he thinks. Maybe if the BNP gain power, he will be silenced, but we still have freedom of speech in this country.

It doesn't take much to rattle the cages of the small minded 'little Englanders' does it?
So AnthonyUK will be voting for the BNP will he? Well good luck to him. They obviously deserve each other. Just a small point though. If he is that keen on maintaining Britain for the British, and keeping our language and culture in tact, then he would be better served if he could grasp some basic spelling. 'Religeon' and 'ghettoise'? Are these French words? The BNP will always have a ready audience amongst the ill educated and illiterate.

My own opinion is that bishops should stick to 'bishoping' and let politicians stick to 'politicianing' More importantly they should leave voters to voting - for whom ever they want, of their own free choice and without any pressure based on so called morals or 'lessons from history'.

Please exercise some responsibility and stop giving a platform for BNP twerps to disgorge their bile and hate message.
I notice you don't allows posts to some stories you run for obvious reasons and I suggest the sensible comments from the Bishop should have been reported in the same way.

"in an address tomorrow to members of the Blackburn Diocesan Synod, he will set out the issues he believes Christians need to consider before deciding who to vote for. "
He is not asking all you bigots not to vote for who you want but is asking Christians (None writing above) to consider issues before they vote.
An open meeting was held in Burnley last Monday evening to look at the issues Christians should consider before voting but didn't see any of you who have written above there.
Stop making this out to be something it is not. The BNP are not mentioned in the article.

This country is made up of immigrants from far-away lands, and the biggest drain on the welfare state is not immigrants, who come here to improve their standard of life, but white trash content to sit on the behinds and milk their benefits for years on end.
If you go down to your local Weatherspoons at 9am on Monday who will you see? Immigrants drinking their giro away? Nope. You'll see uneducated, hopeless, white trash wasting their time, and the resources of this "great" country.
Sometimes the problem is a little closer to home, and instead of looking to blame others, look at yourself.
I have no love or support for the church in anyway, but this bloke is probably way more infromed than any BNP voter.
If your political ideology revolves around voting for somebody that has no political ideology other than hatred, your fighting a losing battle.

Your argument just replaces one reason for voting BNP with another.

“Otherwise we are in danger of becoming unjust stewards of the democracy for which many have died, and failing citizens of the kingdom Jesus died to establish.”
So by making this statement I assume that the politics of hatred that he mentions are the politics of the likes of Jack straw who has stated that "The English are a race not worth saving". The same English who fought and died to preserve our right to be stewards of our democracy, fought and died to keep our soveriegnty intact to be handed down to future generations. I used to attend the cathedral on a regular basis and as a white, english male who is patriotic had no other alternative but to stop. When I was attending I was (and still am) a member of the BNP. It never stopped me attending the cathedral but the dhimmification that crept in and the political influence that was changing my christian place of worship into a multifaith center was what did. I am and will still stay true to my faith and I will always stay Patriotic and proud to be English and British. I will never leave the BNP because they support and stand for everything I do but the cathedral only barely support my christian values and villify me for the rest of them.

Should the Bnp get into Power the Bishops will just as easily, as they have for 2000 years, be seduced by the same wealth and power rhetoric that they have corrupted the reputation of The Soul with since the day Jesus left the planet.
Anyone who thinks changing governments will remove corruption and usher in a new age of Truth and Honesty to replace lies and deception should seriously consider having their head examined.
The bnp, like ALL Political movements are too prone to seduction by wealth and Power. To suggest Religious Leadership is above such seduction is to live in cloud-cuckoo land. People are angry, they have been mis-led up and down and back up the garden path again for too long.
If a Political Party suggested things would be just great - once we are all dead - then I seriously doubt there would be any such creature as a Politician.
Jesus danced with the Infinite! He danced with The Infinite Kindness every single day He was Alive! He understood that this was his chance. He realised that Life was HIS opportunity, to dance with the infinite. It isn't promised to be Forever, but WOW! He danced and he danced and he danced and he danced!
Jesus could dance with his Soul. The Bishops, Priests, Imans and Rabbi's haven't even bothered to find out what a Soul is yet they are so cought up in their own words.

(a)They refuse to speak English,

(e)they scream racism at things which may be considered minor/trivial in order to get them banned or restricted i.e in Oxfordshire nurseries refuse to sing baabaa black sheep they sing baabaa rainbow sheep because of the risk of offending others thru the word 'black', and some councils have changed their christmas celebrations by calling it 'Winterval' to fit around other ethnic minorities,
(f)They claim their humanrights "have been abused" if they have been refused asylum into the UK and all other means have been exhausted, and as a result OUR solicitors stick up for them instead of the Immigration Service being allowed to do their job and deport them without being unhindered by these so called humanrights "dogooders",
(g)They get everything given to them on a plate housing/benefits etc while our own old people who have paid taxes all their lives get meagre pensions and benefits provision because it's all being given to these people who get first refusal over our own,
(h)They moan and scream when any attempt is made to deport them or jail them for wrongdoing in the UK.
Those reasons alone are I voted for the BNP in the North West Euro Elections and why I'am voting them again at the general election as well(and you can ALL call me whatever you like for doing so because I don't care one bit what the Church is saying nor do I so there!!!).

If we 'shut the gates', do you think that will be the end of illegal immigration?
Also, I'd like to hear their policies on... well pretty much anything, because if I'm honest, I couldnt tell you one of them, due to the fact that the BNP seem to prey on those who are concerned with ONE issue.
Now im not saying the system isnt flawed, and that the current political heavyweights shouldnt shoulder some of the blame for the state this country is in, but rather than play the blame game I'd rather look for the right people to get us out of it, and whilst the BNP are quick to blame, they come up with no solutions.
Unless somebody can enlighten me otherwise?

Let me quote what you said:
Immigrants/asylumsee
kers and refugees DO create drains on the countries' resources and i'll tell you why:
"(a)They refuse to speak English,"
A real drain on resources.
"(c)they turn parts of the country into ghettos which purely support their own kind,"
Again, by supporting their own kind, they are really draining the resources of this country.
There is nothing clever about racism. It is narrow minded, ignorant and based on fear. You mention that they get everything on a plate. Well i happen to know a WHITE, ENGLISH man, who is 25, single, and has 2 children. It is far more profitable for him to stay at home and claim benefits than to work and pay a child minder. He is well educated, and a good worker, but it doesn't make sense for him to work at the moment. Does this make him as bad as these ethnic minorities?
"(h)They moan and scream when any attempt is made to deport them or jail them for wrongdoing in the UK."
Oh didums. The scary minority people are moaning and screaming? What a disgrace. What a drain on our wonderful countries resources.
"in Birmingham the nurseries teach white british kids to speak Urdu and sing nursery rhymes in Urdu-WHY should that be allowed?"
Why shouldn't it? I learnt German and French at school, yet i meet very few German or French people in East Lancashire. I'm pretty sure that there are a few more Urdu speakers than French or German speakers. Its a foreign language. Big deal.

As for Anthony's claims that the BNP will "get it sorted unlike the mainstream misfits" - well that is completely laughable. Come on. THEY HAVE NO POLITICAL POLICIES. They are the modern equivelant of the 1930s/1940s Nazi Party. They are racists with no aim other than to purge the country of any one other than the white.
You people are just scared of what is different, and unable to see the fact that there is little to be proud of in this country.
If you really believe that the BNP will "get it sorted" then you have another thing coming.

At least the BNP will get rid of illegals and rid the UK of terrorists ignoring HRA legislation to deport them!

Yes, they really will get round HRA legislation. Very likely. They will incite civil war if they try.
And as for getting rid of terrorists? Fool. They will increase the threat of terrorism ten fold. If they came to power, this nation would soon become known as an anti-islamic nation, and be a swift target for any terrorists. You really are niave, and quite dim.

(a)this country has been turned upside down by immigrants asylumseekers and refugees, because when they come here our govt under humanrights legislation and obligation gives it all to them on a plate
and (b) we can't refuse because we are bound by that legislation and obligations,
and(c) also they bring their ways of life and try to impose that on UK citizens, also they ghettoise parts of the county by refusing to speak English and refusing to integrate into UK society as well. If we went to live in their countries they wouldn't fit their way of life around us to suit our needs so why should WE do it for them?
