Friday was a strange day, one that started with shock and ended in horror.
We all had different feelings towards Ann Widdecombe; mine were mixed. I certainly did not agree with her politics of late but many of the things she has said over the years did resonate with me. She was a formidable woman, yet there was a gentle, fun-loving side to her as well. She also, always answered the question!!
They say she was ‘carved from another age’…well, I was also carved from that age, they were the days when there was a clear line between right and wrong. But Ann was in a league of her own, and well deserving of all the accolades now being heaped upon her.
Values, real values, do not change at a whim. They are not a fashion accessory but the rock we build on.
Her demise has shocked us all. For this 78yr old woman to be murdered in her own home has sent shock waves across the political divide, and remember she was not even a sitting MP. But the way it has been reported says a lot about the world we live in.
The words in the first sentence by the police were, ‘a white male’. They know the country is like a powder keg just now and given the victims name it was important not to light the taper! [ I believe this suspect has now been released.]….but they still say they are looking for ‘a white male’. It was also interesting that they ruled out a political motive…watch this space…that may change!
No doubt over the next few days, all will be revealed.
The evil that walks amongst us has no colour, neither does it have a matrix, but it does have a mind! It is said that evil is a choice and is fed only by the things we choose to ponder.
A person of Faith, like Ann Widdecombe would perhaps see it differently. Many can say that they have felt the presence of evil. I confess, I am one of those, and it is not something you forget!
The obvious question coming from this is, how do you defeat evil?
I suppose that depends on what your concept of evil is. Is it a spiritual concept or a social construct grown out of how we feed our minds?
Whichever one fits, one thing above all remains: evil is real, and it is incumbent on us all to look out for each other. We are indeed, ‘our brother’s keeper’… It’s called collective responsibility!
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
All very nice Joan but what is the reality?
Extreme economic liberalism (humanity reduced to the level of raw materials in their economy) and extreme social liberalism (race and gender theories, mass immigration). Scots are now being discriminated against in their own land for housing and work. Scots are being discriminated against in the workplace and for social housing and it is seen as a within the ruling ideology. I find it sickening frankly that you write an article like this highlighting that police are looking for a white man. We are not racists. The racism is against us and it is coming from our ruling caste.
The entire political class, its massive parasite, quango land, every institution in our country are lead by people who think that it is virtuous to discriminate against Scots. Get your head out of the sand.
Aye well Joan, but.
Just the other day Ian Dale was on being interviewed, giving his fond memories of Ann Widdecombe and their 30 year long friendship.
Ian Dale said that Ann Widdecombe did not believe in Brexit.
He had asked her her views well before the referendum and she had said to him that she had asked all of the people promoting brexit and none of them had a plan for what would happen after the vote.
It was stupid.
And here we are.
She still joined Nigel Farages Brexit adventure entity Ltd.
😦
I suppose that is a bit like the SNPs longest serving British MP at Westminster really.
He could say that his record is a mark of success.
We would say that it demonstrates total failure!
