We are particularly concerned about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East today, and fear for the future of Christian Britain as the Muslim demographic continues to grow here. I find it both astonishing and shocking that such a valid concern is deemed "hateful" and should therefore be removed from the democratic process - which is not very democratic let alone Christian!Paul Westonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554768185882348573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30327407.post-19770253624900856932015-04-24T21:17:07.245+01:002015-04-24T21:17:07.245+01:00Having representatives of what some say are unplea...Having representatives of what some say are unpleasant organisations should not stop such hustings from taking place; it's either a democracy or it isn't.

Please could FHS tell us which candidates refused to share a platform with which other ones (SE23.com suggests it was Tories/ Greens refusing to share with LibertyGB). Were all 8 invitees given the right of veto? Could we know the specific evidence that one party 'opposes religious freedom" as opposed to, say, holds some pretty unpalatable views.

This only gives them a greater sense of self-importance. We should allow them to present their opinions (after all, we wouldn't like to be banned from giving OUR opinions)... and then we should vote according to our consciences.<br />I'm sorry this event was cancelled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30327407.post-51229073273715780172015-04-24T12:32:13.758+01:002015-04-24T12:32:13.758+01:00Liberty GB have no place in a church, in our commu...Liberty GB have no place in a church, in our community or in a hustings.

Electoral law allows for hustings to not invite all candidates based on reasonable justification. The original proposal with 5 candidates allowed for this and should have been kept to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30327407.post-46656481199489606852015-04-24T11:26:59.136+01:002015-04-24T11:26:59.136+01:00It's a shame that the hustings has been cancel...It's a shame that the hustings has been cancelled. The local 38 degrees group has also organised a hustings with all candidates invited. This was to have been at St William of York parish room but the vicar cancelled because of the presence of the Liberty GB candidate. As an independent and impartial group we are not prepared to censor which candidates can and can't be heard so we have rebooked the hustings for Thursday 30th April at the Honor Oak Pub. Do come along to what may be the only chance in Lewisham to hear the candidates for Lewisham West & Penge. There is another hustings in Penge on Wednesday 29th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
