It is a fact that Christian groups up and down the country have been and continue to be denied public funds for their charity work for no other reason than that they are Christian. Hazel Blears was particularly concerned in her Commons speech that Christians should not be evangelical.<BR/><BR/>As a Christian resident in Salford I'd like to ask Hazel: "Please can you explain just what you find so offensive and unacceptable about Christian faith-based groups doing valuable community work? Why should funding be denied to such groups just because they have a strong Christian ethos? Why should Christians be made to feel ashamed of expressing their faith in public? Should Christians obey the will of God or the will of Hazel Blears and the Labour Party? Hazel, have you taken over from God?"

Blears is exactly one of those. Their patronising assumption that all we need to be fed is their chickenshit (please censor if desired), whereupon we will all become unquestioning supporters, is outrageous. Dictionary entry: blears v.t.: smothers rational discourse with lies; assoc with: smears, dreary, bleary, blethers. Eg 'Hazel blears the subject'.<BR/><BR/>Ask her how she feels about being one of the leading proponents of this phenomenon and thus responsible for the decline of faith in the democratic process - one of the most serious charges possible against a politician.<BR/><BR/>Ask her how many Iraqui deaths she personally feels responsible for, given her slavish support of Bliar. None, one, ten, a hundred?<BR/><BR/>Ditto British soldiers.<BR/><BR/>Ask her which aspects of Mandy's behaviour she finds most reprehensible.<BR/><BR/>Hammer her into the floor; make her flee in tears.
