7:05 pm
their rainbow eucharist. >> pardon? the eucharist is the source and summit of the christian life. it's where heaven is brought to earth and where the people are brought to heaven. it's where we experience christ in the real presence. there is no experience , more there is no experience, more heavenly or more holy . why, heavenly or more holy. why, then, is the church of england outright mocking the eucharist with this so—called rainbow eucharist ? i suppose one could eucharist? i suppose one could say that every eucharist is a rainbow eucharist in the sense that the rainbow is a sign of god's covenant with his people and christ ratified the new covenant with his blood in the same way. also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood. do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me , he said. but remembrance of me, he said. but somehow , or going by the pride somehow, or going by the pride flag spewed all over that poster. i'm not sure that's what saint nick's had in mind. poster. i'm not sure that's what saint nick's had in mind . and saint nick's had in mind. and not only are they mocking the holy eucharist, but they are bastardising the rainbow. this is blasphemy. we must hashtag reclaim the rainbow now. also
7:06 pm
this week in the sea of we saw the diocese of london put out a programme for its racial justice pilgrimage , quoting a journey of pilgrimage, quoting a journey of lament and praise . lament for lament and praise. lament for what? and praise for whom? nowhere on the literature for this so called pilgrimage does it mention our lord and saviour jesus christ, it mention our lord and saviour jesus christ , this time with the jesus christ, this time with the black history month flag emblazoned on it posters. it seems the diocese of london intends to replace original sin with the sin of whiteness. replace the bible with the rule book of critical race theory. the diocese of london is falling into the trap of communist rome. critical race theory , after all, critical race theory, after all, is nothing more than a modern wrapper on communism from cardinal sarah, a very holy man of the church, says , quote, of the church, says, quote, communism showed how possible it was to lead mankind into misery while promising absolute equality, end quote. likewise, pope pius, the ninth said
7:07 pm
communism , as it is called, communism, as it is called, a doctrine most opposed to the very natural law. for if this doctrine were accepted, the complete destruction of everyone's laws. government property, and even of human society itself would follow . so society itself would follow. so the church should be against neo—marxism this modern form of communism not embracing it. the church has a role to play in social justice, but it does not do so by becoming social justice warriors. it does so by living christ like lives and by proclaiming his good news. it really is that simple. i pray the church of england remembers this basic fact repents of its worldly ways and returns to the gospel before it is too late . gospel before it is too late. a critically ill teenager and her family are fighting the nhs in court over plans to stop more
7:08 pm
treatment and proceed instead with end of life care . the 19 with end of life care. the 19 year old wants to go to canada for an experimental therapy , for an experimental therapy, which she believes might help her rare genetic condition. the hospital says she is actively dying . she needs a ventilator to dying. she needs a ventilator to help her breathe and is fed through a tube . a hearing at the through a tube. a hearing at the uk's court of protection will decide whether nhs doctors continue to treat her this topic leads us to a very serious duel tonight . leads us to a very serious duel tonight. here to discuss the story , my sidekick this week is story, my sidekick this week is the director of the common sense society, emma webb. welcome back, emma. and this week's nemesis is former editor of labourlist peter edwards . peter labourlist peter edwards. peter if you don't mind, i'll start with you. this i mean, i only heard about this last night on laurence fox's show, and i know neil oliver has just spoken about it before this show, but it's so important that i wanted to time to set aside
7:09 pm
to take some time to set aside to take some time to set aside to discuss because this is to discuss it because this is fundamentally about a fundamentally about whether a person has the right to life or if the state has the right to oppress values that oppress its values on that person. oppress its values on that perwell, do have the >> well, people do have the right to life. and i mean, let's not this a duel because, not call this a duel because, you know, someone's life is on not call this a duel because, you line./, someone's life is on not call this a duel because, you line. it's�*meone's life is on not call this a duel because, you line. it's a eone's life is on not call this a duel because, you line. it's a very's life is on not call this a duel because, you line. it's a very tragic is on the line. it's a very tragic story in year old who's story in 19 year old who's health deteriorated, as it sounds, the quite sounds, from the mail quite quickly. i pray for her and quickly. and i pray for her and think of her and her parents. it must be agonising time, the must be an agonising time, the way it's presented in the mail. i perhaps could bit i feel perhaps could be a bit more balanced. there's a suggestion , as you alluded to, suggestion, as you alluded to, of the state being oppressive and of lawyers taking decisions. and i'm not sure from the few facts do have that's facts we do have that that's necessarily fair. first of all, doctors a hippocratic oath doctors take a hippocratic oath and to their best for the and try to do their best for the patient. but course, they're patient. but of course, they're making , almost making really sensitive, almost knife edge judgements on great matters of sensitivity. and then second, lee, lawyers aren't deciding anything. it's decided. and you often hear this in all parts of the media, lawyers don't decide anything. judges hear lawyers on both sides hear from lawyers on both sides of any argument whether it's about commercial or
7:10 pm
about divorce or commercial or in this case, someone's life. and judge heard all and then a judge who's heard all the evidence , which we haven't the evidence, which we haven't done , comes a decision. so, done, comes to a decision. so, yes, i certainly have questions. and to know more, and i'd like to know more, but i also recognise it can be very difficult for public to find difficult for the public to find out more because these proceedings are so sensitive and distressing. >> sure. but read the same >> sure. but i read the same article as i didn't article as you and i didn't think lawyers were being think the lawyers were being attacked. thought attacked. i thought the statement that judges statement there was that judges are decision, are making a decision, not lawyers, and that judges are lawyers, and that the judges are making against the making a decision against the best the person, best interests of the person, but doctors in this country but also doctors in this country don't a hippocratic don't take a hippocratic oath. that's something they swear that's not something they swear on when become a doctor. on when they become a doctor. so, i'd like to your so, emma, i'd like to get your take because i can't take on this because i can't think more serious. think of anything more serious. this saying, this is someone who's saying, look, i want to live. i want to fight my life and the state fight for my life and the state is saying, no, is essentially saying, no, i think from what i think i mean, from what i understand the case, it's understand of the case, it's complex, but it doesn't mean that we should equivocate. complex, but it doesn't mean tha this should equivocate. complex, but it doesn't mean tha this sh noti equivocate. complex, but it doesn't mean tha this sh not somebody e. complex, but it doesn't mean tha this sh not somebody who is >> this is not somebody who is unconscious, being kept unconscious, who is being kept on life support. this is a 19 year woman who is conscious year old woman who is conscious and who the judge has deemed to lack the capacity to make
7:11 pm
decisions herself because decisions for herself because she disagrees with her doctors . she disagrees with her doctors. and so the doctors want to remove that care that is keeping her alive . she wants to go to her alive. she wants to go to canada to try and, as she put it, to die fighting for her life . and i think that that you're right to do that as a human being is fundamental. no judge should have the ability to make a decision like that. and i think what is so concerning about this is the precedent , about this is the precedent, it's set of how they are defining capacity because it's for a start, the this is basically suppressed , this young basically suppressed, this young woman's ability to have her voice heard, but also it sets a precedent in how we understand capacity , which is determined by capacity, which is determined by whether or not you agree with your doctors. and of course, experts are not always right. doctors often make mistakes. and there have been cases in the past have sought past where people have sought medical it medical treatment abroad and it has lives . so has saved their lives. so i think part of this problem is a kind of hubris. think part of this problem is a kind of hubris . it's hubris on
7:12 pm
kind of hubris. it's hubris on the part the medical the part of the medical profession will not profession that they will not allow young girl is allow this young girl who is conscious , who is clear that she conscious, who is clear that she that she and her family want to fight her right live, fight for her right to live, even the chances very, even if the chances are very, very has the right to very small. who has the right to take that away from her? no. one? >> no. i firmly agree, peter. two psychiatrists have deemed her that she has compos mentis , her that she has compos mentis, but the doctors and therefore the judge, based on the doctors, have said she is delusional because she's not following the doctor's advice. that not doctor's advice. is that not a dangerous precedent? because it is advice from a doctor, isn't it? it's not an order. >> that's certainly what the mail yeah i was puzzled by mail says. yeah i was puzzled by that. mean, i'm sorry to keep that. i mean, i'm sorry to keep coming back to this point, but we've fraction of the we've only got a fraction of the evidence. could have been evidence. this could have been a heanng evidence. this could have been a hearing that went on for days or weeks for all we know. but yeah, there be there seems to be a contradiction between psychiatrist one hand, psychiatrist on one hand, who are not a are doctors, they're not just a bloke off street. they're bloke off the street. they're professionally qualified, doing their then doctors professionally qualified, doing thethe then doctors professionally qualified, doing thethe physicalthen doctors professionally qualified, doing thethe physical body doctors professionally qualified, doing thethe physical body who've rs for the physical body who've come a different conclusion come to a different conclusion and to be a bit of and i'm sorry to be a bit of a broken but but the judge
7:13 pm
broken record, but but the judge will have taken in both sides of that before coming to a that argument before coming to a decision. and i think the thing and i've got obviously we've all got because what do you got on that because what do you mean by that? >> do you mean that whatever judge the end of the judge decides at the end of the day should that should the day should that should be the rule of this and the person regarded wants to regarded of whether she wants to live what the judge says live or not? what the judge says is should stand? is what should stand? >> it's why i think. does >> well, it's why i think. does it matter? like. >> it because is >> no, it does, because this is the want to get the conversation i want to get your feelings on. >> but judges are empowered by the decisions. and the law to make decisions. and we argue with we can obviously argue with those and criticise those, but also or plaintiffs. also applicants or plaintiffs. i'm the right word i'm not sure what the right word in context right to in this context have a right to appeal. so there are lots of details seem to come details that seem not to come out the mail story. so for out of the mail story. so for example, i know they've redacted the geographical and identifying information, but the hospital still don't to put out still don't seem to have put out much now, i don't much of a quote. now, i don't know that's because of know if that's because of confidentiality they confidentiality or just they prefer air these things prefer not to air these things publicly, i'm sure publicly, but i'm sure the hospital defence hospital would have a defence and point about the and your other point about the judge the right to appeal, judge and the right to appeal, well, one can support the judge's right to take decision
7:14 pm
judge's right to take a decision or distasteful. but but or find it distasteful. but but that the law. judges make that is the law. judges make decisions lives we that is the law. judges make de okay, emma, i take umbrage with this because think we're with this because i think we're talking natural law here, talking about natural law here, not law man. and i don't not law of man. and i don't think we're talking about divine law as well. this has law as well. this woman has a divine right and to divine right to live and to fight for her right to live. i don't think any judge or any person the world say, person in the world could say, no, you do not have that right any longer. but even worse than that, saying she cannot that, they're saying she cannot publicise put publicise this. she can't put her name out there. she can't put the name of the hospital out there. speak freely. there. she cannot speak freely. there's order. she and there's a gagging order. she and her family gagged, essentially. i that this situation >> i think that this situation is and think people is unjust and i think people should try to imagine themselves whatever complex the whatever the complex is of the case terms. case might be in legal terms. and as you say, psychiatrists have said she's have said that she's compos mentis. has the capacity to mentis. she has the capacity to make decisions according to those psychiatrists. imagine yourself position yourself being in the position of woman who is faced of a young woman who is faced with the high probability of imminent death and you are being told you're on your own and you're not allowed to talk about it. you're not allowed to raise
7:15 pm
awareness of your case. i think that this fits into a broader picture of the of this increasing and, i think terrifying trend towards this idea that the state has some kind of right over life and death . and it is like you were death. and it is like you were saying this this conflation. i think it's because many people don't believe in natural law between this conflation between morality and legality. right. the confusion between natural law and the judgements that a judge makes. because judges can make unjust decisions . they the make unjust decisions. they the parliament can create unjust laws. and i think that what we are seeing in this case s regardless of the complexity , regardless of the complexity, seems to me to be a very, very clear cut injustice. and it seems from my understanding of the case that the doctors were struggling to get this young woman to accept at their advice and so they have taken this to a court and the court has sided in their favour so they can basically bypass a troublesome patient and make a decision on
7:16 pm
her behalf. think that's her behalf. i think that's unacceptable. it were me or unacceptable. if it were me or it was someone my family or it was someone in my family or one of my friends, i would want to on a crusade to stop this to be on a crusade to stop this from happening. my blood would be boiling and i feel truly be boiling and i feel i truly feel for the frustration they must experiencing right now. must be experiencing right now. but they can't say anything because they're gagged, because i think there's anything i don't think there's anything more to life. >> and that's not just about fighting abortion. fighting against abortion. that's about things like this as well. a gagging well. and if there is a gagging order, if this woman wants to speak they're not speak out and they're not letting in touch, i letting her get in touch, i don't if they it's don't care if they say it's legal, it's an immoral law. i will your name out there. if will put your name out there. if you want your name out there, get touch with me, please. get in touch with me, please. and let's read a and now let's let's read a statement from the nhs trust. our remains on providing our focus remains on providing the very best of care and support to the patient, their family and clinical in family and our clinical teams in these distressing these very distressing circumstances. emma webb and peter you very circumstances. emma webb and peter we'll you very circumstances. emma webb and peter we'll be you very circumstances. emma webb and peter we'll be back you very circumstances. emma webb and peter we'll be back after/ery circumstances. emma webb and peter we'll be back after this

radio.
7:20 pm
>> welcome back to the common sense crusade with me, the reverend calvin robinson on your onune reverend calvin robinson on your online and on your wireless. now joining me, i'm delighted to have laura dodsworth to tell me all about her. must read new book, free your mind a new world of manipulation and how to resist it. very important end bit there. how to resist it. laura. absolutely. listen, why this book and why now? >> well , i this book and why now? >> well, i mean, there are lots of reasons why now. but frankly, one question is why hasn't there been one so far? if you go on to amazon , there are literally amazon, there are literally thousands of books teaching the dark persuasion on, you dark arts of persuasion on, you know, if you want to find books about how to advertise and use propaganda, public relations, brainwashing, nudge, there's thousands there thousands of them and there are almost till now to almost no books till now to teach you how to resist these dark arts. why now? well, i think that a lot of people can feel a sort of sense of a net tightening . you know, we're in tightening. you know, we're in an age of censorship , you know, an age of censorship, you know, an age of censorship, you know, an industrial censorship complex
7:21 pm
. no one's fact checking the fact checkers is there's a feeling of a net tightening thing. but also in this modern world, we're just exposed to a lot of information, lots of contested figures. but one statistic is that you get the you get the equivalent of 174 newspaper dollars worth of information every day. this is a lot for the human brain to deal with. and so what we do is we use our yes , what we do is we use our yes, what we do is we use our yes, what we do is we use biases and shortcuts in order to work through all this information, what's known as cognitive misers. so these biases have served us very well through evolution , authority, through evolution, authority, bias , scarcity, bias, social bias, scarcity, bias, social conformity bias. but they're used against us to manipulate us and we're going into a world where there's more reliance on social media, big tech. and i, which is frankly a brainwashers dream . so people really need to dream. so people really need to know how to recognise and resist attempts to manipulate their brain . brain. >> so people don't always believe that they are being manipulated of course, manipulated because of course, we that.
7:22 pm
we don't want to believe that. an example often use is that an example i often use is that if you own an iphone, you're more likely to see information that better that shows iphones are better than exactly the than androids and exactly the same vice versa. if you're an owner you're more owner android, you're more likely things likely to see things that confirm bias it is confirm your bias that it is better. we are all better. so we are all manipulated the time. manipulated all the time. yes. the we can resist it is the only way we can resist it is if we acknowledge that, right? absolutely. >> in fact, the first is >> in fact, the first chapter is your brain is a battlefield. you know, the first thing you need to kind of accept you're to do is kind of accept you're at yeah it sounds dramatic, at war. yeah it sounds dramatic, but the truth it. but that is the truth of it. from the moment you wake up and your dings, are your phone dings, there are various attempts to manipulate you. right various attempts to manipulate you. just right various attempts to manipulate you. just constructing right various attempts to manipulate you. just constructing wordsjht various attempts to manipulate you. just constructing words in various attempts to manipulate y( sentence onstructing words in various attempts to manipulate y( sentence isstructing words in various attempts to manipulate y(sentence is a'ucting words in various attempts to manipulate y(sentence is a form; words in various attempts to manipulate y(sentence is a form ofrords in a sentence is a form of persuasion, which is a form of manipulation. then, of course, some it's innocuous. if some of it's innocuous. if i say, thanks very much for having me, a evening. i mean me, have a nice evening. i mean it. like you to have a nice it. i'd like you to have a nice evening. it's not the kind of thing protect thing you need to protect yourself against. now, people are with my last book, yourself against. now, people arstate with my last book, yourself against. now, people arstate of with my last book, yourself against. now, people arstate of fearh my last book, yourself against. now, people arstate of fear might ast book, yourself against. now, people arstate of fear might think ok, yourself against. now, people arstate of fear might think this a state of fear might think this is all about the government and shady censorship, disinformation is all about the government and sha(propaganda), disinformation and propaganda units. it's really some of it really not. i mean, some of it comes down to more mundane examples. this will be an
7:23 pm
examples. this will be an example resonate with example that will resonate with everybody. do your everybody. when you do your onune everybody. when you do your online have you ever online shopping. have you ever seen the notification that 174 people looking at this people are looking at this item now ? oh, well, that's the social now? oh, well, that's the social conformity this conformity bias. hey, this is popular. know , we all want popular. you know, we all want to be right we all want to to be right and we all want to be liked. so that's the social conformity being used conformity bias being used against you. another notice you might is only two left might have seen is only two left in stock or one left in stock, and you oh, crikey, if i and you think, oh, crikey, if i want this, i've got to hurry up. so that's the scarcity bias and then you might a quote from then you might see a quote from i'm a celebrity endorsing it and that's the authority bias. so these sorts of biases are used against us in everything from onune against us in everything from online shopping to, yes, government nudge units. >> well , it's government nudge units. >> well, it's linked to your last book, isn't it? a state of fear, which i'm quoted in your last book, and i'm quite happy about it because it shows my growth, because in the book i wasn't aware of badly i was wasn't aware of how badly i was being manipulated until i had that with you. that conversation with you. you opened my eyes to a lot of the stuff that was going on in the government time. government at the time. and i think just just having that on
7:24 pm
record reminds how easy it record reminds me of how easy it is us to all be manipulated. is for us to all be manipulated. >> and yeah, well, i think that's incredibly impressive that's incredibly impressive that i think one of that you say that i think one of the things the most important things people can is to be open minded. one can do is to be open minded. one of my favourite quotes in the book businessman charlie book is the businessman charlie munger, the munger, and he says that the human is a human egg human brain is like a human egg bear with me. so one sperm gets into an egg fertilised it and another sperm never gets in again. human is another sperm never gets in agbitl. human is another sperm never gets in agbit like human is another sperm never gets in agbit like this. human is another sperm never gets in agbit like this. if human is another sperm never gets in agbit like this. if animan is another sperm never gets in agbit like this. if an idea is another sperm never gets in agbit like this. if an idea gets is a bit like this. if an idea gets in and fertilises your brain, it's be open minded it's very hard to be open minded to ideas. it's really to new ideas. it's really important consciously open important being consciously open minded set myself minded is vital. i've set myself on train of new experiences on a train of new experiences and reading material since researching this book, i think i remember state of fear, remember with a state of fear, we were talking about vaccines, for instance. so that's not because talked about because i've ever talked about the efficacy the safety of the efficacy or the safety of the efficacy or the safety of the vaccines, but i was concerned about the range of incentives and coercions that were being used to push the vaccine because this was this was all this was all very new. and that affects informed consent. so that would be something familiar something that's very familiar to in recent memory. you to people in recent memory. you know, there were you
7:25 pm
know, there were stickers you could show that you'd could wear to show that you'd been vaccinated , that social been vaccinated, that social conformity. in conformity. you want to be in the that's had that conformity. you want to be in the was that's had that conformity. you want to be in the was i that's had that conformity. you want to be in the was i think,1at's had that conformity. you want to be in the was i think, one had that conformity. you want to be in the was i think, one of|d that conformity. you want to be in the was i think, one of the|at there was i think, one of the worst one of the worst things i remember from the pandemic, actually, is the way that the unvaccinated were demonised. so it was time to punish britain's unvaccinated . and covid unvaccinated. and you had covid heroes and covidiots and the unvaccinated were really the scapegoats of the refuse . so scapegoats of the refuse. so really, the scapegoats of the whole thing . but we also had whole thing. but we also had various incentives behind the vaccine, such as raffles , prizes vaccine, such as raffles, prizes , petting zoos for children in hamburgers in america , hamburgers in america, hamburgers. well, i mean, gosh, it gets even worse than that. there were joints in washington. there were joints in washington. there were joints in washington. there were brothels in vienna, i mean, around the world. there are all kinds of things. so it's the first time we've ever done that with a public health campaign. and this is the kind of important to of thing it's important to understand. you know, the first thing need to get thing is, you need to get immunity. that immunity. and you do that by understanding biases and understanding your biases and your shortcuts, explain your shortcuts, which we explain in the social in the book, like the social conformity we're
7:26 pm
conformity bias we're herd animals, to recognise animals, but also to recognise that the techniques , the other that the techniques, the other thing you can do is just not go to the magic show. if you don't want to be tricked. now, if you know how the magic trick works, you've got some innocuous nation. this book a bit like nation. this book is a bit like a vaccine for mind control, but the other thing do the other thing you can do is not go to magic show. so i not go to the magic show. so i wouldn't say anyone should turn off show or their right off this show or their tv right now, less tv. use your now, but watch less tv. use your smartphone less. use it more mindfully. absolutely smartphone less. use it more mirthank absolutely smartphone less. use it more mirthank you olutely smartphone less. use it more mirthank you veryly laura. >> thank you very much, laura. please check her book. please do check out her book. very, important there. very, very important work there. that laura dodsworth. thank that is laura dodsworth. thank you your today. now, in you for your time today. now, in a european christianity, the divine right of kings, the divine right of kings, the divine right of kings, the divine right or god's mandation is a political and religious doctrine of political legitimacy of a monarchy . it's all the more of a monarchy. it's all the more relevant this week as we reflect on the first anniversary of the death of queen elizabeth the great and the ascension to the throne of his majesty king charles iii. joining me now to discuss this is royal broadcaster and commentator ralph rafe heydel—mankoo . hey,
7:27 pm
ralph rafe heydel—mankoo. hey, ralph, how are you doing? thank you for joining ralph, how are you doing? thank you forjoining us. i'm sorry you forjoining us. i'm sorry you in person. you couldn't make it in person. i know a nightmare in i know there is a nightmare in paddington right now, but i'm glad you could us down the glad you could join us down the line. can start off by line. can you start us off by giving a brief synopsis giving us a brief synopsis of what divine of kings what the divine right of kings means in our context? >> absolutely. pleasure be >> absolutely. a pleasure to be with is why i love with you. and this is why i love gb news great topic and i can't really imagine sky news or bbc news covering this. look, the nofion news covering this. look, the notion the divine right notion of the divine right of kings, you know, goes back kings, you know, it goes back a long, long it back to long, long way. it goes back to ancient the chinese had ancient egypt. the chinese had this of the mandate of this notion of the mandate of heaven, for christian heaven, but for christian monarchies, describe monarchies, we can best describe it as concept that the it as the concept that the monarchy claims sovereignty directly from god. the king is not subject to any earthly authority other than himself and to challenge the king's authority and legitimacy is to go against the will of god. but similarly , just at the same way, similarly, just at the same way, it's the king's duty to follow god's laws and carry out god's justice. now, this has roots in the in the bible in many, many places, the scriptural justification. daniel two god
7:28 pm
set , god created kings justification. daniel two god set, god created kings and removeth kings . and then in removeth kings. and then in romans 13, which i can just only paraphrase for you , essentially paraphrase for you, essentially it says all authority comes from god.the it says all authority comes from god. the king is the ultimate authority on earth. and so if you rebel against the king's authority, you're rebelling against god's authority and will be now, as every schoolchild knows in this country, well , as knows in this country, well, as every schoolchild should know in this country, in britain , the this country, in britain, the divine right of kings is best associated with king james. the first and sixth and the stuart dynasty . but after the overthrow dynasty. but after the overthrow of king james, the second and seventh and the illegal usurpation of the throne by william and mary, we had what the whigs call the glorious revolution and the divine right of kings was largely replaced by the contradictory and confusing concept we have today of the sovereignty of parliament, which in my view, is a deeply flawed concept because sovereignty, sovereignty surely rests in the sovereign. the clue is in the
7:29 pm
name, not in parliament. but at any rate , at the core principle any rate, at the core principle of the divine right of kings still survives today. and if you have a coin of the realm in your pocket, just pull that coin out and look at it and you'll see two initials there for deo. gratia by the grace of god . and gratia by the grace of god. and then reg for regina for the queen. although new coins will say rex, by the grace of god , say rex, by the grace of god, queen or king. now, that was added to the formal styles of the king back in 1521. but today it carries on throughout all the commonwealth realms except for papua new guinea. king charles reigns by the grace of god. and it's the same thing in europe, in denmark and the netherlands and elsewhere. so what does grace of god mean in terms of a christian monarch? well, it means that god endorses the king's reign. means that god endorses the king's reign . and the coronation king's reign. and the coronation is based on the inauguration ceremonies of the kings of israel in the old testament. and it's all comes down to the issue. the of covenants, issue. the idea of covenants, the coronation is a covenant between god and the king and between god and the king and between the king and his
7:30 pm
peoples. and so as the king rules, by the grace of god, it's the king's duty to actually represent divine rule of god on earth over his peoples in the form of justice and order and mercy . god is just and merciful mercy. god is just and merciful . and the king must therefore also be just and merciful . and also be just and merciful. and of course, we saw during the coronation an order, mercy and justice played key roles in that coronation services. and remember, of course, the monarchy is sorry, i've spoken too much. i'll go back. no, no, you're right. >> go. god is justice. and the king is ordained by god . but we king is ordained by god. but we seem to be in a middle ground in the uk at the moment in that we don't necessarily believe the king is accountable to god exclusively. we also think he's accountable people, too. accountable to the people, too. it doesn't really to work it doesn't really seem to work out constitutional monarchy out this constitutional monarchy . between a democracy . it's a bit between a democracy and monarchy. i'm and an absolute monarchy. i'm not sure it will work not entirely sure it will work in the long term, but i want to get my dualist emma webb's take on right kings. on the divine right of kings. >> i could listen to rafe
7:31 pm
talking about this for hours all day. one thing to day. i think one thing to mention, i mean, there's not very much you could add to rafe . brilliant summary the, of . brilliant summary of the, of the historical, all of the historical aspects of this. there is one thing i think that's worth bringing in, which is this idea that goes goes back all the way to the perhaps to the late middle ages, i'm sure historian can correct me if i'm wrong, but say it's fortescue who has been mentioned on this show previously . he this idea show previously. he this idea that it as as in contrast to the absolute monarchy of monarchs on the continent like in france this idea that that it is perhaps distinctly british that the monarch is also subject to the monarch is also subject to the law. so there are some limitations on the monarch. so the idea of the anointer king, as as rafe mentioned , has as as rafe mentioned, has biblical precedents , of course. biblical precedents, of course. and i do believe that the monarch is anointed by god, as he was saying, deogratius . but i he was saying, deogratius. but i think there is there is an
7:32 pm
important distinction to be made between the continental style of absolute monarchy and the style of monarchy here in relation to the divine right of kings. >> i think you're pretty much right, but i don't think it's only in england that it happens that the holy roman was that the holy roman emperor was also to natural law and also subject to natural law and divine as well. so there are divine law as well. so there are there are restraints upon it. but you very emma, but thank you very much, emma, and thank you, rafe heydel—mankoo as well for that. wonderful represents heydel—mankoo as well for that. w(therful represents heydel—mankoo as well for that. w(therful right represents heydel—mankoo as well for that. w(therful right of'epresents heydel—mankoo as well for that. w(therful right of kingsents heydel—mankoo as well for that. w(therful right of kings .1ts of the divine right of kings. now, plenty more to come this evening on my common sense crusade. back with in crusade. back with you in a short moment . short moment. >> brighter outlook with boxt >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> good evening . my name is >> good evening. my name is rachel ayers and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office . so it's been another very warm or hot day, especially across the southeast today. and that's because we've still got a bit of
7:33 pm
a southerly component to our winds bringing that warm to hot air across us from the continent. the showers we've seen through today will slowly ease as we go through tonight. but another major area of heavy showers and thunder storms will start to push northeastwards from the southwest. so if you are in the southwest tonight, you might be woken up by the odd thunderstorm . and this is all thunderstorm. and this is all dunng thunderstorm. and this is all during another warm and humid night . so as we go into the night. so as we go into the start of sunday, those showers will slowly make their way north eastwards into wales , the eastwards into wales, the midlands, northern england , midlands, northern england, northern ireland and later into to southern scotland. and these showers could band together, bringing some heavy rain and thunderstorms as well as the risk of some hail and some strong gusty winds. but it will be another very warm day, especially in the southeast with highs of 32 now to start the new working week. plenty of low cloud mist and fog in the north and west to start with. some
7:34 pm
showers breaking out later. but this rain erratically making its way south eastwards, marking a change to something slightly cooler as we go into next week where it will feel quite changeable and autumn with those temperatures closer to average range , a brighter outlook with range, a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on .
7:35 pm
7:36 pm
7:37 pm
>> your listening to gb news radio . welcome radio. welcome back to the common sense crusade with me, the reverend calvin robinson on your tv online and on your wireless . wireless. >> recently i've seen that in spain, churches have become skateparks in belgium, some have become hotels. and in germany , become hotels. and in germany, kindergartens . in south river, kindergartens. in south river, ohio, a winery. i think it's disrespectful. i think a sacred space should always be respected and used for worship. so joining
7:38 pm
me, i have michael phillips from the christian legal centre and of course, dualists , emma of course, my dualists, emma webb and peter edwards . michael, webb and peter edwards. michael, thank forjoining us from thank you for joining us from the legal centre . it the christian legal centre. it seems to be an increasing situation that churches are being flogged off and becoming anything from shops to mosques to apartment buildings to all the things i've just listed that's it's that that's right. >> i think it's a sad sign. you said quite prevalent in certain parts of the country. i recently came back from holiday in cornwall and saw it there . i saw cornwall and saw it there. i saw it in south wales as well. it's pretty prevalent there. and, you know, these are these fantastic buildings which were created very often in the middle of a revival, a wesleyan revival , or revival, a wesleyan revival, or george whitfield. and people had a desire to meet together . and a desire to meet together. and even though maybe they lived in pretty small houses, they created these magnificent places where they got together and worship god. and now we're left in this situation where we have an increasing number of church
7:39 pm
buildings, magnificent buildings, magnificent buildings, and what do you do with them? and, you know, one has maybe some sympathy that the church still wants to make use of them. but i think what i would say is this, is that very often what we see is the problem is church decline and why is the church declining the church is declining because it is moving in certain direction and it is in a certain direction and it is going with tide . and the going with the tide. and the church has always been countercultural. and what some recent studies have shown academics , studies have shown is academics, studies have shown is this, is that the churches, which are not progressive , are which are not progressive, are the ones who are not falling in attendance rates. so those ones who example, have not who for example, have not adored, for example, same sex marriage are actually growing and they're ones that are looking new buildings and we looking for new buildings and we would say, look, you know, there is problem, but introducing is a problem, but introducing a skate or a crazy golf golf skate park or a crazy golf golf course into the middle of the sacred space is not the way to deal with it. so i'm going to bnng deal with it. so i'm going to bring my dualist into this. >> edwards there's case >> peter edwards there's a case here of use them or lose them,
7:40 pm
but also go woke, go broke. >> i wouldn't put it that way. and i think we're mixing up a few things here. so first of all, when we're talking about deconsecrated churches. so that's turned into of that's turned into a block of flats mosque flats or a mosque that's not a church that's an church anymore. that's an ex church. >> that's the point, though. >> that's the point, though. >> but a vicar's come in >> yeah, but a vicar's come in and no longer and said it's no longer a church, the other issue you church, but the other issue you raised, by the way, i thought your intro at 7:00 was very harsh church of england, harsh on the church of england, but the idea that functioning but the idea that a functioning church activities, but the idea that a functioning church is activities, but the idea that a functioning church is really activities, but the idea that a functioning church is really good.:tivities, but the idea that a functioning church is really good. but:ies, but the idea that a functioning church is really good. but the i think is really good. but the judgement about which activities you got you go for has got to be exercised really carefully. so food absolute food bank are absolute no brainer, right and brainer, completely right and appropriate. and i'm a churchgoer and i be churchgoer and i would be delighted to see a food bank in a think nursery. well, a church. i think nursery. well, i'm a parent, you know, you've got folks london paying got some folks in london paying more than £2,000 per month per child. you're a child. imagine if you're a single parent with two kids. so having nursery in a church, having a nursery in a church, i can see the case for that. i think once you get into the realms something that's pure realms of something that's pure entertainment where entertainment though, where there really a social good there isn't really a social good like skatepark, yeah, like a skatepark, yeah, i'm a lot something lot more chary of something like
7:41 pm
that churches should be that because churches should be in the community and i think churches warriors churches should be warriors for social kind of social justice, which is kind of what you were arguing against at the there's a the start. but there's a wholesale difference between food and, you food bank and nursery and, you know, we're all know, a skatepark. we're all running in green trousers running around in green trousers for of superior purpose. for no kind of superior purpose. >> point that the church >> my point is that the church is justice but is about social justice but shouldn't social justice shouldn't become social justice warriors board warriors taking on board neo—marxism, is neo—marxism, which is essentially i don't essentially what's so i don't mean misspeak, but why mean to misspeak, but why interrupt? fine though. >> okay. i do to interrupt >> okay. i do mean to interrupt and i apologise for doing so. why you keep associating it why do you keep associating it with marxism? because that's exactly is. exactly what it is. >> look the roots of >> if you look at the roots of critical race theory, queer theory, gender theory, all of these one these theories come from one ideology, which is neo marxism, which which is which is from which is essentially the frankfurt essentially from the frankfurt school and all of school of thought. and all of this online or if this can be tracked online or if you want to read the source material, it is essentially communism. >> archbishop justin, head communism. >>the:hbishop justin, head communism. >>the church) justin, head communism. >>the church) justin, is ad communism. >>the church) justin, is not of the church of england, is not a marxist, but he's taking on board marxist ideology. a marxist, but he's taking on boathat'sxist ideology. a marxist, but he's taking on boathat's the ideology. when you >> that's the problem. when you want to solve a problem the want to solve a problem in the church, to the bible, church, you refer to the bible, you can actually pick up the good book, tells you how good book, which tells you how
7:42 pm
to justice. what you to do social justice. what you don't go to the latest don't do is go to the latest academic and okay, so academic trend and say, okay, so what do we do? oh, critical race theory. not the reason for >> that's not the reason for opening food bank, though, is opening a food bank, though, is it? it's nothing to do with marxism. >> i didn't say it was. you're conflating many causes, which you earlier. you accused me of earlier. you're causes. you're now conflating causes. but want bring emma into but i do want to bring emma into this emma, there's this because, emma, there's a there's church near there's a church quite near me. they it sheriff centre. they call it the sheriff centre. instead a church, instead of calling it a church, it used saint james's west it used to be saint james's west hampstead. now sheriff hampstead. now it's the sheriff centre play. hampstead. now it's the sheriff cen'got play. hampstead. now it's the sheriff cen'got a play. hampstead. now it's the sheriff cen'got a licenced play. hampstead. now it's the sheriff cen'got a licenced bar, lay. hampstead. now it's the sheriff cen'got a licenced bar, it's it's got a licenced bar, it's got a post office. all very useful things. but within the church itself, at firstly, before, before coming to your point, that point, i just want to say that if look on the church if you just look on the church of england's website, anybody can themselves that of england's website, anybody can documents 1emselves that of england's website, anybody can documents 1ems are es that put the documents that are being put out of england are out by the church of england are absolutely in critical absolutely steeped in critical theory informed ideas that ideology distinct ideology erg has a distinct intellectual ideology erg has a distinct intellectvery much present in >> it is very much present in the church of england today. we could dispute could someone could dispute that. clear that. but the evidence is clear as day. i find. going back to your question , calvin, i find your question, calvin, i find this really very upsetting. i have seen for myself churches in the uk turned into skateparks helter shelters, putt putt
7:43 pm
courses. this is been going on this trajectory for quite a long time and it's this instinct to try and turn the churches into secular spaces because the church of england seems to think that that's get bums on that that's going to get bums on pews. they're doing pews. but what they're doing in the is kind of they're the process is a kind of they're opting in to their own dissolution. and so i think that that it's one thing when a church gets sold off and turned into flats or a supermarket. i've seen it very often, but i think it's the fact that the church of england clergy, even in churches that to in the churches that continue to be don't be functional churches, don't seem to have a sense of sacred space there's no sense space anymore. there's no sense of respect and decorum of proper respect and decorum with to the holiness of with respect to the holiness of that church . it doesn't matter that church. it doesn't matter whether or not a vicar has said this is no longer a church anymore. when i see church anymore. when i see a church that turned into that has been turned into something that is no longer church, and something that is no longer cthink and something that is no longer cthink people and something that is no longer cthink people find and something that is no longer cthink people find fond i think many people find for example, some one church i've i read being turned read about today being turned into club. it's into a fetish club. it's offensive, and you're offensive, disgusting and you're right, it doesn't affect bums on pews. >> in fact, it has the opposite effect, phillips effect, as michael phillips alluded you
7:44 pm
alluded to earlier. thank you very phillips very much, michael phillips and my duellist for that conversation . webb conversation. emma webb and peter edwards for your time this evening on panel. now, evening on the panel. now, before . before we take a final before. before we take a final break, let's have a look at what you've had to say about today's topics on using churches for alternative purposes. kemi says it's getting silly now. there's plenty of empty premises on high streets that can be used as venues. leave our churches alone . i'm with you, kemi. is that kemi if it is. hello, kemi. i hope you're well . we've got hope you're well. we've got nigel here saying, what ever nigel here saying, whatever next churches as kebab shops ? i next churches as kebab shops? i mean, why not? if they're being used as disco halls mosques, used as disco halls and mosques, why not a kebab shop too? it's a disgrace, but we need to use them want to keep them on them if we want to keep them on patient street, susan wrote the case of patient street is horrific. i listen to both arguments and i do trust doctors and authorities to put emotion to one side and make correct decisions. but i know i'd feel
7:45 pm
different if it was my own children . yes, very, very much children. yes, very, very much worth considering . what would worth considering. what would you do if it was your child? thank you for that input there, susan. and thank you for all of your comments tonight. we really do appreciate them. now coming up final part of my up in the final part of my common crusade week, common sense crusade this week, we'll talking we'll be to talking isabel vaughan, on the vaughan, spruce on the importance for life importance of the march for life campaign. back after

7:48 pm
welcome back to my common sense crusade. thank thousands of people stood up for the unborn last weekend at the march for life in london, the ninth annual march processed through the city of westminster in london and ended at the houses of parliament. point. isabel vaughan, spruce co director of the march for life, joins us now. isabel, thank you for joining i'm glad it's for joining us. i'm glad it's for a good cause. this time. well, it's always for good cause, good cause. this time. well, it's i'm)ys for good cause, good cause. this time. well, it's i'm glad r good cause, good cause. this time. well, it's i'm glad it'sgood cause, good cause. this time. well, it's i'm glad it's goodcause, good cause. this time. well, it's i'm glad it's good news this but i'm glad it's good news this time. you had over 7000 people at believe , at the march, i believe, including fiona bruce mp and sir edward mp. i haven't edward leigh mp. but i haven't
7:49 pm
seen it publicised in the mainstream media, wanted to mainstream media, so i wanted to give platform to just give you this platform to just talk organised the talk about why you organised the march life . if . thank you. march for life. if. thank you. >> calvin yeah , we have three >> calvin yeah, we have three key aims really with march for life. key aims really with march for lhe.the key aims really with march for life. the first is just to create awareness of the hurt and the damage that abortion causes, as well as promoting the dignity of life from the moment of of every life from the moment of conception. also to help conception. then also to help foster a sense of unity and community within the pro—life movement so that we can come together as one voice on this issue . and also for those who issue. and also for those who maybe would say that they're pro—life in name, but have never actually done anything about it, the idea is to encourage and maybe even motivate them into some kind of action and whilst those were just aims to start with, because we've been going for so many years, i've really seen this come to fruition in so many people telling me how many people telling me of how they've to own they've gone back to their own areas where they live and it might just be something fairly small their own church, small scale at their own church,
7:50 pm
maybe a pro—life coffee maybe start at a pro—life coffee morning, maybe they've started a 40 days for life group or joined another group that's already existing in their community. but but really seeing how the pro—life movement is growing in local ways because of this as well. well i saw there was a counter—protest happening at the same time. >> in fact, i heard there were there were hurling abuse at me quite, quite a lot of the time. but one of them come over but one of them did come over for really fruitful for a really fruitful conversation at the end. and i think that one connection think if that one connection can be we're good work. think if that one connection can be you we're good work. think if that one connection can be you we us good work. think if that one connection can be you we us who good work. think if that one connection can be you we us who the »od work. think if that one connection can be you weus who the march'k. think if that one connection can be you weus who the march is can you tell us who the march is made up of? is it mostly christians that go along is christians that go along or is it of it people from all walks of life? it's definitely getting a lot more than it was to lot more diverse than it was to start with. >> diverse terms age. we >> diverse in terms of age. we have of young people and have a lot of young people and families. i mean, i have to be honest on the very 1st march for life, there was probably more of an demographic. if you an older demographic. now if you come it's just teeming come along, it's just teeming with with young with with with young people everywhere of everywhere for a lot of different religions. again, probably , if i'm quite honest, probably, if i'm quite honest, the 1st march for life probably was was more catholic. now we're
7:51 pm
seeing a lot of different denominations and that was evident at before the march where we had a mass for catholics. there was a church of england service being prepared. there was an evangelic prayer service. the orthodox christians had their own service . and also had their own service. and also there's a there's a growing group of atheists who come along with their own t shirts in their own group together , they're own group together, they're recognising that the humanity of the unborn child. so yeah, quite a broad group is really coming along now . along now. >> and this is obviously not just about the unborn child . just about the unborn child. this is also about giving women better chances and better options, isn't it? >> yeah. and i think one of the testimonies on the day that really touched people the most was was that of who was was that of ellie, who shared story of having three shared her story of having three abortions, which she herself said didn't didn't free her. they enslaved her. and such a moving story to recognise, like you say , how much it really you say, how much it really affects women and men as well
7:52 pm
who are often, you know silenced on this issue. and we hear often , you know, those who oppose us telling us that men can't speak on this issue, and yet it is so important to hear men's voice. and actually, those who came to the morning event in the emmanuel centre heard the story of pio , emmanuel centre heard the story of p10 , who was deeply affected of p10, who was deeply affected by his own child being aborted . by his own child being aborted. so yeah, i think it is really important to hear from those who have been through abortion and know firsthand that this didn't didn't liberate them, this didn't liberate them, this didn't help them . in fact, it didn't help them. in fact, it just caused further problems. >> all i have to say is thank you very much for organising it and if people want to check it out, for march for life. out, look for march for life. that was isabel vaughan, spruce from march for life. you from march for life. thank you for each for your time today. now, each week like to end for your time today. now, each weekour like to end for your time today. now, each weekour closing like to end for your time today. now, each weekour closing prayer.ike to end for your time today. now, each weekour closing prayer. and) end with our closing prayer. and this week, the collect this week, reading the collect for after for the 14th sunday after trinity is sophie from ascot school in berkshire . almighty school in berkshire. almighty and everlasting god give unto us the increase of faith, hope and
