R.F.Wilson reports from London: Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing, we were warned once. Not to mention that we were also told to judge people who claim to be religious by their deeds and not their words. That’s why politicians, who preach the religious message or insist that they have seen the light of day all of a sudden, usually fail these tests miserably.

It happened to George Bush, to Tony Blair and to many others, who claimed to be ‘talking to God’ but did the exact opposite of what He would have wanted. And now it is happening to Prime Minister David Cameron, who issued a Christmas message this year, praising the story of Christ and quoting the Gospel by St John. He even came up with a new title for Christ calling him the Prince of Peace, a novelty for religious scholars and men of the cloak no doubt.

How come, you may be wondering, all this has happened all of a sudden, considering that Mr Cameron’s policies are as far detached from religion as it gets? All that sucking up to the money men, waging wars abroad, wasting money on overseas aid while introducing austerity at home and imposing gay marriage on the three major religions. Not to mention his obsession with political correctness which has got nothing to do with any faith whatsoever.

Mr Cameron is obviously getting pretty worried by his sliding popularity in the country, including some anger with him on the part of Tory grassroots, if he decided to preach the Gospel. It has come to a situation that the Tory party has already lost a fifth of its members to UK Independence Party and will probably lose more in the coming months. In this respect Mr Cameron would need a bit more than becoming a born again Christian to save his job. In fact, nothing short of a miracle is probably needed, especially as the economy is going to get worse before it even starts to turn for the better.

Strange lot, politicians. They want to be politically correct and satisfy the demands of the liberal left but when things get really bad they find God all of a sudden, in the hope of courting the majority. In America it gets even more bizarre, with people like President Barack Obama, for example, talking about his Christianity while sounding as if he had never opened the Bible once in his life. And as for the political leaders in the EU countries, well, most of them no longer even bother to pretend that they have any understanding of religion, building the new Tower of Babel that is the European Union, which is destined to fall like the one mentioned in the Bible.

Still, it is fun to see Mr Cameron playing the religious card and obviously hoping that it would convince the traditionalists in his party that he is not some wet leftie while at the same hoping not to alarm the liberal left who look unkindly at anyone who mentions religion in a good way. That’s why the whole thing does look hilarious.

   It could be one of 3 things. 1) he has finaly realised its imposible to get the Gay vote away from Labour & therefore being more religious will help retain those tradditional Tory voters who are thinking of voting UKIP next time. 2) Tony Blair has been giving Dave advice on how to be sly & deceptive, Tony being an internationaly recognised expert in sly & underhand in politics. 3) Dave like Tony is in love with EUSSR membership & given that the change in the UKs ethnic makeup & high 3rd world migrant birthrate, the chances of Dave & party being re-elected for a 2nd term are getting less by the day & he will be out of a job, therefore he might be thinking of standing for the EUSSR presidency after Von Rumplestilstskin finishes his term, just like Tony did when he lost his job as PM to Gormless Gordon, the pension fund robber & bargain basement prices seller of the UKs Gold reserve.
