I find it incredible that Labour has used taxpayers' money to stay popular in its own constituencies

Of the 105 hospitals threatened with closure only 18 are in Labour areas.
Of the 123 constituencies in England which will benefit from the Hospital Building Programme 83 are in Labour areas.
In the 25 worst-hit constituencies 1,122 post offices have been or will be closed but only 39 are in Labour areas.
Railway stations are being axed in 23 constituencies but only 3 in Labour areas.
National Lottery grants to constituencies represented by members of the Cabinet are nearly double those to seats held by the Shadow Cabinet.
Police forces in Labour areas top the funding league.

This unfairness and lack of integrity is at the heart of this government and will be its downfall.

Jacqui has asked me to thank you for your e mail and to say that she notes your concerns. Without more information about what you mean by your statement and further information about the statistics you are quoting she is unable to respond in detail. She remains proud of the progress British public services have made under a Labour government since 1997 a list is set out below setting out some but not all of the improvements. The figures are not disputed - you can imagine the uproar there would be if they were wrong. You may not want to recognise the progress that has been made - in particular in tackling poverty for children and pensioners but Jacqui is happy to be judged on that record.

2.5 million more people in work - unemployment at its lowest since the 70s and inflation amongst lowest in EU
Nearly 1.7 million people helped into work by the New Deal
Introduced the National Minimum Wage - now £5.35

Over 85,000 more nurses, over 32,000 more doctors
157 new hospitals built or on the way
662,000 more operations a year compared to 1997. Heart operations up 93%
Lowest waiting list since records began in 1988, down 381,000 since March 1997.
Virtually nobody waiting over 6 months, compared to 284,000 waiting in 1997

All crime down 35% overall; burglary down 53%; car crime down 46%; and violent crime down 34%
Record police numbers, up by over 14,000 since 1997

36,400 more teachers and over 287,000 more school support staff
Best ever primary, GCSE and A level results
Doubling per pupil spend

4 million children in poverty
3 million pensioners in poverty
3 million on the dole
Unemployment doubled
Crime doubled
Waiting lists rose
Teacher numbers fell
Interest rates hit 15 per cent

I did not ask for a list of her opinions of how wonderful this Labour government has been but an answer to the facts that I submitted about how Labour has used millions of taxpayers' monies to look after its own constituencies at the expense of others.My statement was quite clear as were my statistics. Strange that she finds this difficult to understand.

Jacqui has asked me to say that its efforts to tackle poverty and the related inequalities in health and crime have of course meant that areas of deprivation have benefited from investment. Whilst Labour MP represent areas all over the Country many are inner city areas decimated by Conservative decisions over decades. The relationship between Labour representation and areas of deprivation is hardly surprising given the Tory record. That the Labour government has delivered such enormous improvements in the fight against poverty and health and crime statistics in areas of deprivation is something Jacqui would have thought you would have welcomed.

After years in government Labour cannot still be blaming the Conservatives.Your comments suggest that Labour is funding its own deprived areas at the expense of everything else and is doing a wonderful job.The truth is that the majority of people in the nation are fed up with this government's inability to tackle key issues such as Immigration, Crime, the NHS, Education, Benefit Fraud. People are appalled that MPs' keep boosting their pensions whilst other people find their pensions dwindling. People are fed up with the sleaze, the hypocrisy and the sound-bites with no substance at the heart of this government.Why can't somebody put their hand up and admit they've made a mess of things and admit that the government is failing the people? Then we might start taking politicians seriously.

I would like to respond to Nigel Farndale's belittling comments about me in the Sunday Telegraph (Nov.26th). He stated that my sole argument was about discrimination against Christians and that this was "the last resort of the truly impotent".

With regard to Nadia Eweida and her desire to wear her cross there is obvious discrimination. BA have altered their dress code rules to accommodate Muslims and Sikhs but not Christians. I pointed out that this lady's cross is not a piece of jewellery but a vital mark of her faith. She comes from an Arab background and knows about the cost of standing up for Christ.Her cross is a symbol that she is not ashamed to declare her faith publicly.

In the light of this I stated that there is a growing persecution against Bible-believing Christians in this country and that Christians should stand up and be counted and use whatever democratic means are available to voice their concerns .I cannot see how such remarks are seen as "impotent!".

Mr Farndale might like to know that I spent the next three days being interviewed on TV and radio, where I expressed that because we had largely turned our back on God and His ways we had created a vacuum which others, like militant Islam, were trying to fill. I stated that this issue over BA and the cross had opened up a debate about what kind of country did we want to live in and that we were in danger of throwing away our Christian heritage.

What have we come to when under gay rights laws soon to be on the statute book a vicar could be sued for refusing to bless same-sex civil partnerships?

Well I for one refuse to be at the mercy of these politically correct forces and I will most certainly refuse to bless such relationships. Gay people are welcome to attend the church but they will find, along with anyone who is living a lifestyle contrary to God's Word, a growing conviction to honour God or to leave the church.

Marriage between a man and a woman is God's will and it is sacred. Same-sex unions are contrary to God's will and therefore cannot possibly receive His blessing. To do so is to dishonour God and to deceive people that such a relationship is acceptable to Him.

I am well aware that such views will be seen by many as unloving, narrow-minded, bigoted and homophobic. But it's a Truth issue. If you believe as I do that anything that dishonours God comes under His judgement, then if you truly love people you will want to warn them and not appease them.

British Airways' refusal to allow an employee to wear her cross openly,underlines the fact that there is discrimination against the Christian faith in this country. Now we find that Exeter University's Christian Union has lost its status as a society because you have to be a Christian to be on the leadership and this apparently infringes other people's rights. How ludicrous! If you were to join a Deep Sea diving club you would hope that those in charge knew something about diving!

Whilst so many people are going to have to live on reduced pensions our greedy MPs' are feathering their own nests at the taxpayers' expense. This is criminal. So an MP who has only been in parliament for eight years will receive more than a nurse who has worked all their life. Is it any wonder that people despise politicians and despair at the state of the country? We so desperately need people of integrity with a servant heart in government if this nation is to survive. But where are they?

The recent publicity given to the wearing of crosses and veils underlines a grave concern for our country. In an ideal world all people and all religions ought to be able to coexist peacefully. That sadly is not so with Islam. The slightest criticism leads to violent outbursts as we have seen. The problem is that this nation has turned its back on its Judeo-Christian roots and values and is now at the mercy of Islam's extremist factions. Nearly 50 per cent of Muslims want to live here under sharia law and impose this on the nation.

The proposal to build the largest mosque in Europe in East London and the decision to demolish the Kingsway Christian Centre just a mile away, the largest church in Europe, highlights the danger. Unless Church and political leaders uphold and speak out strongly for our Christian heritage we are in serious danger of being taken over. Let the cross be seen and worn for it speaks of freedom.

As a vicar in the Church of England I am ashamed that the Archbishop of Canterbury cannot stand up for a Christian who has been sent home by BA for wearing a cross and yet can stand up for Muslims wearing the veil. This is our politically correct church leadership affirming everyone except Christians. He'd be better off getting a job at the BBC where he would be welcomed with open arms!

The recent ruling upholding the ban on a classroom assistant for wearing a veil is indeed a victory for common sense. Of more concern is BA's refusal to let an employee wear a cross when they allow Muslims to wear the hijab and Sikhs to wear turbans and bangles. Now that is discrimination.

The recent publicity given to the wearing of crosses and veils underlines a grave concern for our country. This nation has turned its back on its Judaeo-Christian roots and values and is now at the mercy of Islam's extremist factions. Nearly 50 per cent of Muslims want to live here under sharia law and impose this on the nation. When will we wake up? The proposal to build the largest mosque in Europe in East London, funded by recruiters for Al Qaeda, and the decision to demolish the Kingsway Christian Centre just a mile away, the largest church in Europe, highlights the danger. Unless Church and political leaders uphold and speak out strongly for our Christian heritage we are in serious danger of being taken over. Let the cross be seen and worn for it speaks of freedom!

In a nation and a world that has increasingly lost its way the Church is called to be salt and light. Tragically the Church of England has lost that call and has embraced political correctness. We are asked not to call God "Father" or Jesus "Lord" and now the Church blesses sin in wanting to give cohabiting couples the same rights as married couples. This follows on the back of allowing clergy to engage in same-sex civil partnerships.

So the Church, like the State, undermines biblical marriage which is the union of a man and a woman, and endorses what the Bible calls sin. Has all of this "enlightenment" led to a better society? No! Just to more moral chaos, family breakdowns and rising crime.

When we turn our backs on God and His ways for us then we walk into the darkness. When the Church leaders do this it is unforgivable. Thankfully Jesus is still the Light of the World.

As a vicar in the Church of England I am appalled at the latest political correctness coming from its leaders. To tell churchgoers not to refer to God as He or Lord because it will lead to domestic abuse is laughable. This is just pandering to feminist and liberal agendas. No wonder so many people are put off the Church.

The Bible makes it quite clear that God is our Father who has revealed Himself fully in Jesus Christ. He gives us the model of fatherhood and manhood which if followed even slightly would make the world a much better place. Not to refer to Him as Lord is heresy. Church leaders also state that it is wrong to use the old form of marriage vows where the bride promises to obey. What they fail to point out is that she only says that because the groom promises to worship her, meaning put her first.

These latest guidelines are false, un-biblical and half-baked: a sad reflection of much of the Church of England.

Gordon Brown's promises of a new era for this nation are empty sound bites. Our politicians have failed us. Our Church leaders have failed us too for not calling this nation back to its Judaeo-Christian heritage. This is being destroyed and so our foundations are crumbling. Our Christian heritage is disappearing from our laws and being replaced by secular humanism with its political correctness and its resulting chaos.

If we want to see morality restored, crime reduced and integrity to make right decisions for this country amongst our politicians, then we need to turn back to God in repentance, embrace and restore the Ten Commandments as the foundation of our lives, affirm family life and its values, and elect leaders who will be models of godliness, truthfulness, and courage.

I am writing about the charges against Stephen Green for handing out leaflets expressing the Bible's views on homosexuality. I find it incredible that this is called a crime whilst the Gay Police Federation get away with a vile and offensive poster aimed at Christians. Such double standards are appalling. What a waste of taxpayers money to bring this charge against Mr. Green for merely pointing out what the Bible states. Is it now a crime to believe the Bible which has been the bedrock of society for so long? If so, then realise that you are putting Almighty God on trial which is utterly blasphemous, and that is a crime.

I gather that a Scotland Yard spokesman has stated that there were no complaints about the Muslim extremist Anjem Choudary's attacks on Christianity outside Westminster Cathedral on Sunday Sept.17th. As an Anglican vicar I am complaining. I found such slogans as "Jesus is the slave of Allah" deeply offensive and blasphemous and they were designed to create incitement.

What will it take to open the eyes of our secular and religious leaders to the true nature of Islam? Now the Pope is hated by Muslim extremists for daring to quote from a 14th century Emperor that Mohammed spread his religion through violence. But any student of history will find out that this is exactly what happened. The heart of Islam IS violent. It calls people to submit. As soon as there is any criticism of it there is a uproar because that is the spirit behind it.

Now we have a Muslim extremist, Anjem Choudary, brazenly standing outside Westminster Cathedral calling for the Pope to be executed, with his followers waving placards intent on offending Christians with such slogans as " Jesus is the slave of Allah." The police stated that there were no complaints. Well I'm complaining! As a Bible believing Christian and Church leader I find these comments offensive and blasphemous and I will not be silenced by Muslim fanatics or the fearful politically correct brigade.

So now it is a crime to be a Bible-believing Christian! And yet it is the Bible and its values which have been our foundation for centuries. Now the politically correct brigade dismiss it and presume to know better. But the state of the country gives the lie to their "wisdom". We have no moral compass to guide us and so we are adrift, at the mercy of liberal thinking and human rights.

Before we are completely shipwrecked as a nation we need to return to biblical values and the God who gave them to us for our welfare. I pray that our Church leaders will at last stand up and be counted on this. I will continue to teach the truths of the Bible which includes the biblical teaching that homosexuality and lesbianism are sinful.

Whilst it may be very purposeful that you have been fasting and praying for the Middle East, it is totally cancelled out in the eyes of the nation when they read that Bishopthorpe Palace is to be refurbished, costing millions.

As the Church of England struggles with finances, as clergy face working longer and parishioners are asked to contribute more to the Diocesan quota, the Church of England, in its wisdom, decides to spend millions on your Palace.

Can't you see how the sceptical non-Christian responds to this? It does great disservice to the Gospel and makes the Church a mockery.

God is not only concerned about issues in the Middle East but also about hypocrisy and injustice within the Church of England, which this issue highlights.

If Archbishops and Bishops lived in normal houses and the Church sold off its palaces, then the Church would be taken more seriously, its clergy looked after properly, and the mission of the Church to reach people with the Gospel would have more credibility.

On behalf of many hard-working clergy I apologise for the Church of England's decision to refurbish the Archbishop's Palace at a cost of millions. This makes a mockery of the Church and its mission.

So it takes Archbishop Peter Akinola, the leading cleric in Africa, to have to come to London to warn the Church about the danger of Islam! He listed many examples in the UK where Muslims have encroached upon our society, demanding and getting their way, whilst promoting their religion as the last and final faith for the world. He stated that " Muslims came as guests, but are now your landlords. They have many methods but one agenda, world domination." He pointed out that Muslims never shift their ground whilst Christians do, trying to be loving and accommodating. He then showed how the tactic of imposing their demands has been used by Muslims in North Africa, and was now being implemented in Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania. Now it is happening in the UK.

And the Church's response? Inter-Faith dialogue. This is a joke because Muslims believe Christianity to be weak and irrelevant. The day after the Archbishop's visit over twenty British Muslims were arrested here with the intention of blowing up planes. When will Church leaders and political leaders wake up?

Why can't the Labour party learn from Australia? John Howard is a leader with principles and the people respect him. He has cut taxes, restructured labour markets and presided over an economy that's booming. He has taken uncompromising stands on anti-terrorism and Muslim integration. He has introduced tough immigration laws and is tough on crime. In education he has stated that pupils should have an understanding of British and European history and the influence of Christianity on Western civilisation.

Mr. Howard has stood up to political correctness, ultra feminism, minority rights, victim culture and other ultra-leftisms and ideologies. He is also ruthless of welfare cheats and scroungers and affirms family values.

Mr. Howard is popular. Our politicians are not, because they're full of hypocrisy, double standards, sound-bites and totally out of touch with the real mood of the people.

Mr. Howard loves his country and seeks to defend it from anything or anyone who attempts to undermine it.

And this is the kind of leader this nation needs before it's too late. The people are crying out for such a leader and you have the opportunity to be that person. It just takes guts.

The InnerChange course which was having a positive effect on difficult prisoners at Dartmoor jail and has proved to be a great success in the USA is to be scrapped. And the reason? It assumes that the root of offending is in individual sin and it promotes the uniqueness of heterosexual marriage. Such beliefs are now seen as discriminatory. What a load of rubbish! Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God sin has been at the heart of mankind. It's acknowledging this in your own life that can start the road to true freedom.

As for the uniqueness of heterosexual marriage may I point out that God blessed Adam and Eve in their union not Adam and Steve.

Yet again it is the Christian faith that is under attack from our liberal godless leaders.

So The Da Vinci Code film is going to rattle the Church, according to A.N. Wilson in his Saturday essay in the Mail. He asks the question as to how many bishops and priests in the Church still believe that Jesus was God in human flesh.

Well I, for one, do believe this, and believe that Jesus is mankind's only hope, because He and He alone is the Saviour of the world.

The Da Vinci Code is heresy based on lies. Yet again the person of Jesus is undermined and most of the Church will be silent. Try making a film about Mohammed like this and hear the uproar.

A.N. Wilson states that Christians cannot prove Jesus was true God and true man, nor prove that He rose from the dead. It is all a matter of faith according to him.

This is absolute rubbish! If anyone bothers to look into the facts there is more than enough evidence to show that Jesus was who He says He was, and that He did indeed rise from the dead.

Christianity is a faith based on solid facts rooted in history. The reason that people scoff at the Bible and seek to belittle Jesus is the fact that our human nature is sinful and we do not want to be accountable to God.

Your article on "Meet your ancestor" (Daily Mail April 6th) yet again shows the bias towards evolution in the media. This supposed missing link of a cross between a fish and a crocodile is not proof at all.

All that has actually been found is an example of a lobe-finned fish, like the coelacanth, that has bones similar in position to those seen in the arm and wrist of land-walking creatures, except these structures support fins with rays in them, not digits like fingers and toes, and as such they are not connected to the axial skeleton.

Creationists are mocked without being given a fair hearing, whilst evolution is constantly presented to us as fact, which it is not.

So the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Daily Mail's Science Editor know better than Jesus Christ! How supposedly intelligent men can so easily dismiss Creationism without looking at the facts beggars belief. Jesus Himself believed in Adam and Eve, that their creation was a real historical event. Mark 10 vs. 6-9. It was Charles Darwin himself who said that his theory of evolution was dependent on transitional life forms. In spite of millions spent on research, no transitional life form has been found.

The human eye gives the lie to evolution as Darwin himself agreed with its amazing complexity. So do blood platelets, which promote the clotting process. To form a blood clot there must be twelve specific individual chemical reactions in our blood. If evolution were true, and if this twelve step process didn't happen in the first generation, then no creatures would have survived!

Each creature brings forth after its own kind. That's not theory. That's fact. Ever seen a dat or a cog? (part dog, part cat). Why then should we believe that mankind came from another species?

Evolution is a pagan religion masquerading as science, which gives mankind the ability to dispense with God and any accountability to Him.

How as the head of the Church of England you can be so dismissive of Creationism without looking at the facts is astonishing! I enclose notes of two recent talks I gave on this subject and ask that you might look at them.

The Evolution/Creationism debate is, I agree, about Truth. But Truth is based on facts and your dismissive comments on Creationism show that you have not seriously looked into this issue.

If you believe in Evolution then you must believe that there was death, disease and decay before the appearance of man. But the Bible makes it quite clear that it was Adam and Eve's rebellion against God that brought death, disease and decay into the world. This is foundational to the Gospel, which is why Genesis is so attacked.

I pray that you may have the desire and the humility to read these notes and look at the facts.

The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Lord Archbishop of Canterbury
Lambeth Palace
LONDON SE1 7JU

I am writing about the programme "Dispatches" that was on Channel 4 last night, March 6th. Your presenter Rod Liddle was highly critical of Evangelical Christians. Let him try making a programme like that attacking Muslims.

He was especially sarcastic and condescending about those Christians who think homosexuality is a sin, believe in creationism, have a belief in the Bible, and think sex outside of marriage is wrong.

Well I am one such person and I take exception to his comments. Please pass on these notes on the Creation/Evolution debate to Mr. Liddle and ask him to contact me or e-mail me if he has the courage to do so.

I am fed up with Christianity being constantly attacked. I have been a Vicar in the Church of England for over twenty years. I believe that people need to know the saving love of Christ, that He and He alone can forgive sins and open up a relationship with the God who created us. I believe we are called to love sinners but call sin, sin. I believe in marriage between a man and a woman only. I believe in the Bible absolutely and I proclaim its truth week in and week out. I believe in a mighty Creator God who revealed Himself fully in Jesus Christ, and yes I believe Creationism is true and Evolution is a lie. It's because your Mr. Liddle has no idea of God that he is so quick to belittle ideas about Him.

What your presenter is doing by seeking to pour scorn on Christian beliefs is to allow Islam the opportunity to replace Christianity in this land.

But Christianity is morally most opposite to Islam and as an evangelising religion is the most able to take on Islam in a peaceful ideological struggle.

Your presenter seemed to find comfort in a rural Anglican church where there was no cutting edge. That's not Biblical Christianity. Jesus Christ gave His life for our sins and expected His followers to proclaim Him as THE TRUTH and to stand upon that truth however unpopular it may be.

Iftekhar Ahmad Kashmirl's letter (Mail Feb.27th) commending the freedom Britain offers was excellent. Unfortunately his understanding of Mohammad and the true nature of Islam were incorrect. Far from showing compassion and kindness towards non-Muslims, Mohammad systematically killed them, enslaved them or levied crippling taxes on them. Violence is not prohibited by Islam but endorsed in verse after verse of the Koran:

"Make war on the infidels until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme." Sura 8: 40

The Koran claims it's God's purpose to "seek out the enemy relentlessly" Sura 4: 104

The fact is that one out of every 55 verses in the Koran is a war verse intended to arouse Muslims to compel the conversion of non-Muslims to Islam, by violence if necessary.

There is a book now on sale called "The Noble Koran: a new rendering of its meaning in English". It calls for the killing of Jews and Christians and sets out a strategy. So far the authorities have done nothing about it.

We all value our democracy but let's be clear where the real threat of danger to it lies.

When will Western government leaders wake up to the true nature of Islam, which has been so graphically displayed recently in the violent reaction to cartoons of Mohammed?

What is it about the Koran that Al-Qaeda and other militant Muslims think authorises terrorism and violence? Does the Koran support their radicalism or is it a book of peace as many claim?

Fact! One out of every 55 verses in the Koran is a war verse intended to arouse Muslims to compel the conversion of non-Muslims to Islam, by violence if necessary. Failing their conversion Mohammed ordered that non-Muslims be killed or enslaved or, if Islam is in political control, heavily taxed.

Fact! There is not one true democracy in the Muslim world and, unless we wake up, Islam will take away our democracy too.

The European Union poses the greatest threat to our democracy, our freedom and our privacy. England has lost control of its farming, courts, fishing, legislation and citizenship. If Mr. Blair gets his way we will lose our currency, our right to set our own interest rates, our right to a democratically elected government, our identity as an independent nation and our right to freedom of speech. We are being buried under an avalanche of laws from the bureaucrats of Brussels and as a result small English businesses are being forced into bankruptcy.

None of the people in the EU who have the real power (not the M.E.P's) have been elected. It's unconstitutional, flawed and corrupt.

Millions of people have fallen for the lie that outside of the EU we will not thrive. This is a lie! Look at Switzerland. The fact is that had we not been members of the EU England would by now have gained a surplus of cash that could pay off every householder's mortgage. Future savings would be enough to abolish the tax on petrol.

If the EU gets its way England will cease to exist within a few years and we will become a fascist region in Euroland. Beware!

So a brave Muslim leader shames the church! Sir Iqbal Sacranie's comments, that homosexuality, along with civil partnerships for gay and lesbian couples, is wrong, are what Church leaders ought to have been voicing but do not.

Such comments are underlining Biblical truth. It's not about being homophobic or unloving. On the contrary, it's about stating God's concern for people's welfare now and for all eternity.

At the heart of it is a sin issue, along with adultery, sexual immorality, lying, thieving, hatred etc. etc. And the only answer to our sin is to repent and to open our hearts to Jesus as our Saviour.

We once prided ourselves in this country on freedom of speech. To deny this is a denial of democracy and human rights. We are truly becoming a fascist state!
