Trinity Sunday [13 to 15]

(1117) Haven’t quite worked out what this Trinity Sunday is meant to be but shall look around. I know what Trinity is of course but why this Sunday? (1325)

15.  Kassandra on Holy Spirit Day

As we’re both pundits, getting the info out and it’s not private, shall go ahead and post this:



When you consider things like demonic possession, it’s not too much of a leap to look at Anakin Skywalker and how he was possessed … or The Mummy … or Professor Scarman in Doctor Who … the motif is nothing new.

Possession’s not necessarily evil, though there’s a lot of it about. When you’re in love, that’s also a form of possession. And so is the Holy Spirit … if it/he/she gets in, it/he/she takes over, gripping a person with a conscience. Plenty of people with consciences in the world but the HS can’t abide lack of conscience.

Look at the actions of so many in the west now … lack of ethics, lack of moral compass, lack of conscience.

A most interesting statement was that sins of every other kind can be forgiven but against the HS … that can never be forgiven. He’s talking the very real consequence of the death of the soul itself, the end of that entity/person altogether. 

I doubt that that weighs greatly on most minds out there but it’s there in black and white. I personally am not fussed what people’s reaction is to this statement … but I am duty bound to at least say it, which I’ve now done.

14.  Thought this lovely

… but all the same, I do fear for the innocent trust:


13.  Been a long time since we ran the TPA

In a piece for the Daily Telegraph, the former chancellor cited TPA work highlighting the numerous exemptions and distortionary effects of the death tax. Our media campaign manager, Conor Holohan, writing in the Daily Express a couple of weeks ago made exactly these points and rightly went on to say: “Simplifying inheritance tax would be a start, but perhaps the Government should simply let people keep what relatives worked so hard to give them.” 

Unsurprisingly, as the voice of taxpayers, our media phone was soon ringing off the hook with broadcasters wanting our spokesmen on their shows. TPA digital campaign manager, Joe Ventre, kicked things off when he spoke to Patrick Christys. As Joe explained, inheritance tax no longer just hits the most well off (if it ever did): “What we’re seeing now is that more and more people are being brought into this tax… This tax is supposedly reserved for the very well off but that just simply isn’t the case anymore.”

Just a few hours later, our investigations campaign manager, Elliot Keck, was in the studio with Nigel Farage. In a wide ranging discussion, Elliot told Nigel and GB Newsviewers across the country just how unfair and unpopular death duties are: “It’s unbelievably unfair… This is a tax that even those people who don’t pay it realise just how unfair it is.” You can watch the full exchange here.
