RANDOM THOUGHTS

Following in the footsteps of the MAGA crowd

The hard right Fascist lot in the UK seem to be starting a christian church. Tommy Two Names’ “Christian movement” is a recent political-religious phenomenon where he and his followers use Christian identity and symbols, particularly Christian Nationalism, to rally against perceived threats to British culture, especially Islam.

Apparently he was converted to the faith (or so he says) on his most recent spell in prison.

This is reminiscent in many ways of the MAGA movement in America. In fact it seems to me to be a direct copy of it.

It’s not my place to criticise people’s religious beliefs and I’m certainly no expert, having no belief myself and relying only on what I was force fed at school, but I do find it hard to understand how extreme right politics (or for that matter, extreme left politics) can claim to be christian in nature.

For example, the far right, whether in the USA or in the UK, abhors immigrants, so maybe Stephen Tommy Yaxley Lennon Robertson would like to clarify how he feels about these verses from the Bible…

And it is not only in the Old Testament that you find these views, Jesus himself taught compassion and justice to foreigners, strangers and vulnerable people.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke Ch 10) tells of a Jewish man robbed and beaten, ignored by a priest and a Levite, but compassionately helped by a Samaritan, a foreigner, who not only bandaged him and cared for his wounds, but also took him to an inn and paid for his care there.

Jesus urged his followers to do the same sort of thing…

So, Tommy, what’s your view of that?

And then they made me a Lord and then I defected to Reform Limited, because I might make some money out of that

Well, now we know where he got his hairstyle

And honestly no, that’s not him being a drag queen.

So your followers ARE Nazis?

Their parents, grandparents and family members may have died fighting this… so, not sure what conclusion to draw from that. But it seems to me that you are proud of it.
