Johnson is guilty of what? (Met) Police Examine Farage claims of Tory bribes - according to my ST. No mention of Johnson being involved - none at all, nothing to do with him.

Johnson is guilty of plenty, but as you are concerned about how Christians might view him - well they would forgive him - though their forgiveness does not absolve him of his guilt. Since you asked.

Oh, we all know how well you forgive BoJo . And , of course, you do so every day, no doubt because you find something every day for which he should be forgiven.🙄
I get the impression that your sort of forgiveness in his case is similar to Cleopatra's to her maidservant in the 1963 film.😉

HMS Conway is a boarding school that is run like a MN ship... he was there around the time I visited with my parents with a view to attending. Very old fashioned "Mr Chips" air to it.

Yes there were a number of these old wooden Ex Rn War ships used as Training ships or schools. I can remember one called TS Feudroyant at Gosport when I was in the Navy

You can't be picking which court judgements you like and which you don't, need to take the rough with the smooth.

The court cases were merely a stunt by the Lib Dems and SNP for some more coverage during the campaign, took the judges all of 10 mins to throw the case out.

I am not picking, the case was bound to fail.
I was commenting on the very basic unfairness of a Government calling the election by the name of a 'Brexit Election' then the TV companies not allowing the anti Brexit parties a platform on a leaders debate.

If they called it a General Election should they allow Generals.

It’s a UK election and the SNP only represent people in Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon is not the leader of a UK national party, she is the leader of a Scottish National Party. Why should she be invited to a national debate when the vast majority of the UK can’t vote for her party?

Where I live there is an independent candidate. Should he be at the debate as the leader of a one candidate party standing in one Yorkshire constituency? If he gets together with other independents and forms the Yorkshire party with 30 constituents, should he then be invited to a national debate even though most people in the UK can’t vote for them?

She's not even an MP. However, I do feel Ian Blackford and Jo Swinson hould be there. There's a chance of a hung parliament, and it would be good to hear their take on things.

Since you question it - I have to...though he has done little to wrong me. But as is the nature of these things I can (and have to) pray for him that, when our next PM, he gives honest, open, decent and caring leadership. I don't expect anyone without faith to understand that - it's not easy to do - but it is what it is. :)

Sorry but Nicola Sturgeon certainly is the leader of a UK national party, the fact that they choose not to stand candidates outwith Scotland is simply their choice..
Mind you I can easily understand why Johnson and Corbyn are too scared to debate with her :love:
