This site is my campaign for justice and a free pardon and beatification for Marie Stuart, Mary Queen of Scots.
She is a Roman Catholic martyr and died because of her faith.
Her trial was one of the greatest injustices in the history of England.
She was the first monarch to decree that everyone could have freedom to practice the religion they wanted including Jews in 1561 in Scotland.
She was the rightful queen of England and Scotland and she had also been the queen of France.
The Protestant Scots forced her to abdicate and stole her son from her king James VI of Scotland and he was king James I of England.
I have campaigned with The Congregation for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican for her to be created a Roman Catholic Saint and through her intercession I discovered the cure for eye problems including Blepharitis with inserting honey onto the eyes...I was given this information from Saint Francis of Assisi in the Garden of Gethsemani, in Jerusalem, Israel 2012.edit - Jesus Christedit

As one may note from the reply from the British Library the Gospels of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ have been bandied about from pillar to post by God knows who since the Reformation and now being used as a money making venture as over 100,000 people had to pay over £8 per person to view them at Durham this meant that people who were on low pay with a couple of kids or unemployed or pensioners could not afford to view one of the greatest wonders of the world and the source and lifeblood of our civilization.
The Lindisfarne Gospels were written in the North East of England and should be returned there into Roman Catholic safekeeping Now!

1541 parliament passed an act confirming the revocation of all grants of land customs borough rents fishing and gifts, which the king had been compelled to sign while being held prisoner under the Earl of Angus.
Another act which enraged the nobles annexed to the crown the Western Isles and Orkney and Shetland the act also took over Bothwell, Preston, Douglas, Tantallon, Crawford, Lindsay, Bonhill, Jedbourgh Forest, Glammis, Liddesdale, Evandale and the Earldom of Angus and everything that belonged to it.
These acts were within the constitution but overbold, as the crown had not the power to enforce them the nobles were nervously apprehensive and they were sure to make a move against the king.
1542, Henry VIII demanded King James V to attend a conference at York, James failed to attend and Henry proclaimed war on Scotland.
James mustered his army and marched to meet his enemy, now the opportunity arose for the nobles to destroy their king.
He was daring and fearless in leading his army but the traitorous Nobles turned back with their men and left the king defenceless, not unlike the scenarios that William Wallace and Bonnie Prince Charlie also endured, James had no alternative other than to turn back.
Shortly afterwards the king managed to raise a small force to be led by Oliver Sinclair as its commander he was a close friend of the king and James knew he couldn’t trust the nobles, as the army was approaching English ground the nobles started arguing with the commander, and a great deal of confusion arose as to who was to do this or that.
The English commander, Lord Dacre, observed this and while the Scots were arguing with each other three hundred English cavalry dashed into the Scottish ranks and slaughtered them.
As these were his only loyal soldiers he knew he was finished it sapped all his strength and he died with his newborn baby Mary in his arms on l4th of December 1542.

Interview in Switzerland with International DJ Frank Dougan AKA Frankie Dee
A "DJ" is not only playing records.....
"My job is a unique chance to meet people, Frankie Dee explains in his broad Scottish accent;
nowhere else you can watch people as good as in that job, nowhere else you can learn how to listen and respond to their moods and feelings".
Who now thinks that he is a psychologist is completely wrong. Frankie Dee is working as a DJ at Hotel Furigen (Luzern)
With his 35 years, his water-blue eyes, his dark and elegant suit, his shy, but friendly smile he is not looking like the cliche of a DJ (blond, daredevil).
Psychology and playing records - what has one thing to do with the other, some laymen would ask.
"A DJ is not only somebody who is putting records on", the Scot patiently explains with his dark, rough voice, "when I put records on, on a night in a club, I have to feel the mood of the audience to find out which music I have to play so I can make them start to dance...."
Most of the times Frankie Dee starts with a slow, well-known song like "I just called to say I love you", then he comes up with big hits from Michael Jackson or George Michael to seduce people to come to the dance floor.
"I change the style every 20-30 minutes, everybody should have the chance to dance", Frankie Dee says.
Since more than 9 years the Scot is traveling around the world with his records.
Hongkong, Las Vegas, Glasgow, Essen, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Passau, Luxemburg, Black Forest, Grenchen, Saas Fe, Frick, Zug, Oslo, Luzern and Stansstad.
"In Scotland I have always been in the music scene and I sometimes played my records in a disco", Frankie Dee leisurely explains his turbulent path of life.
"One day I had the idea to have a mobile disco so people could book me for events."
He did it until somebody "pulled strings" for him and he found work in Paul Anka´s disco in New York.
From now on Frankie Dee´s life were the black records on the turntable.
He moved in Germany and Switzerland from Dancing club to Dancing club, worked in luxury hotels in Hong Kong or in Luxemburg.
Sometimes he returned to his homeland; in some competitions there he made it to the final.....hotel na mes like "Hilton" or the famous "Peninsula" in Hong Kong are flowing easily out of his mouth.
Did he do his job only in such expensive, exclusive places?
"Most of the clubs where like the Hotel Furigen in Luzern, with a special audience, people about and around 25 years.
They don´t like the heavy and loud music; they want to hear the easy-going, light dance-music..."
Do you like the music you´re playing?
"Not necessarily", Frankie Dee says and laughs, "I like Jazz, Soul and Rock from the 70´s.
I also like U2 and the Simple Minds. But the best of all is still Mozart and Strauss."
Now he starts to rhapsodize, tells about his big love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, describes the radio play, the BBC did about his idol.
"I think I´ll move my direction to more classic songs", he means.
He offers a wide spectrum; he´s got about 10.000 albums in his collection.
1000 of them are always "on the road" with him and his girlfriend in the VW bus.
His future in music is clear.

Turkey is fast becoming one of the largest markets for the trafficking of women from nearby former Soviet states who are brought into the country and forced into prostitution, an international agency said in a report released this week. Profits from the illicit sex trade in Turkey were estimated to be about $3.6 billion (€3 billion) last year and growing, the report said. About 5,000 women, more than half from Moldova and Ukraine, are believed to be working as sex slaves across Turkey, said an agency official. The prostitution networks made about $150 (€124) from each customer, with each woman serving as many as 15 clients a day.

"Who do you say I am?" Legend, Liar, Lunatic, or Lord? Corroborating witnesses report that Jesus of Nazareth was born of a virgin, changed water to wine, made the blind see, healed the lame, raised the dead, walked on water, calmed a violent storm, fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fishes, lived again after his execution, and ascended into the clouds.

Beevor dug out Soviet archives clearly demonstrating that Soviet commanders knew about the barbarism and rapes by their troops. When the book was released in the United States and Britain last spring, the Russian ambassador to Britain called it "lies, blasphemy and slander."
Some estimates, compiled by Beevor, suggest that up to 2 million German women may have been raped by the Soviets at the end of the war. Records show that at least 100,000 women were raped in Berlin, and that 90 percent of the city's women contracted venereal diseases. The number of abortions rose dramatically in the spring of 1945, as did the number of women who committed suicide.

Her lips stirred up and down a quarter of an hour after her head was cut off.
Then Mr Dean [Dr Fletcher, Dean of Peterborough] said with a loud voice, ‘So perish all the Queen’s enemies,’ and afterwards the Earl of Kent came to the dead body, and standing over it, with a loud voice said, ‘Such end of all the Queen’s and the Gospel’s enemies.’
Then one of the executioners, pulling off her garters, espied her little dog which was crept under her clothes, which could not be gotten forth but by force, yet afterward would not depart from the dead corpse, but came and lay between her head and her shoulders, which being imbrued with her blood was carried away and washed, as all things else were that had any blood was either burned or washed clean, and the executioners sent away with money for their fees, not having any one thing that belonged unto her.

In the book from the David Hume Institute ( Scotland and the Union ), the constant gnawing poison that Scotland has inherited since the reformation is constantly thrown at the stupidity of the Scots.
Here is an example of how Colin R. Munro starts off his essay;
" The Union has been long desired by both nations, and we shall esteem it as the greatest glory of our reign to have it now perfected, being fully persuaded, that it must prove the greatest happiness of our people.
An entire and perfect Union will be the solid foundation of lasting peace;
It will secure your Religion, Liberty and Property, remove the animosities amongst your selves, and the jealousies and differences betwixt our two kingdoms:
It must increase your strength, riches and trade, and by this Union the whole island being joined in affection and free from all apprehension of different interests, will be enabled to resist all its enemies, support the Protestant interest everywhere, and maintain the Liberties of Europe."

The cartoon is made up of three short vignettes exploring the alleged truth behind famous nursery rhymes, with the second vignette confidently announcing that ‘Mary, Mary Quite Contrary’ is based on Mary’s life, on what basis I’m not sure. The plot takes considerable licence with Mary’s story, but is surprisingly on point with its visual gag relating to the fate that awaits any man who becomes involved with her, romantically or otherwise.
The presentation of Mary, Darnley, and Elizabeth in the cartoon is fascinating, with the brief shot of Elizabeth channelling Bette Davis’ portrayal of the English queen in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), while Mary’s silhouette and styling directly anticipates that of her more famous Disney princess counterpart, Aurora, in Sleeping Beauty, which was released in 1959.
The cartoon, directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and Bill Justice, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, and also features a delightfully funky trio of jazz-scatting jesters. The video below starts at Mary’s story.

There have only been five bright supernovae in the Milky Way in the last millennium (starting in 1006). Of these, the Chinese supernova, which is also known as the ‘Chinese Guest Star’ of 1181AD has remained a mystery. It was originally seen and documented by Chinese and Japanese astronomers in the 12th century who said it was as bright as the planet Saturn and remained visible for six months. They also recorded an approximate location in the sky of the sighting, but no confirmed remnant of the explosion has even been identified by modern astronomers. The other four supernovae are all now well known to modern day science and include the famous Crab nebula.

Good Protestant bad Christian, John Knox!
For many years Knox had been in league with known English collaborators, Cockburn of Ormiston, George Wishart, David and George Forrest, and many others had been planted by the English under Henry VIII after Scotland had been invaded in 1544, and with the destruction of the Scottish religious institutions by the English, allowed the Knox led traitors to lay down plans for the over throw of the Catholic people of Scotland, and eventually the Scottish government by bad Christians but Good Protestants.

St. Bede's Cross at Roker Beach on A183 opposite Roker Park, Sunderland is in my opinion arguably one of the greatest Christian works of art in all of England!
It was reported in The Sunderland Echo on12 April 1903 when it was about to be erected 14 October 1904.
This magnificent wonder of art was created by Charles Hodges of Hexham.
On the base of St. Bede's Cross is carved these immortal words; 'To the Glory of God and in memory of His servant Baeda the Venerable (St. Bede) who was born between Wear and Tyne DCLXXIII and died at Jarrow, Ascension Day DCCXXXV.
On the North Sea facing part of The Cross which is over 20 feet high are exquisite depictions of St. Bede's life he was and still is the greatest scholar, writer. Philosophe

Since I raised this issue about the Lindisfarne Gospels being returned to Roman Catholic care takers as they were written by Roman Catholics at Lindisfarne by St Aidfrith and I am in no hesitation that our wonderful St. Bede would have contributed to the translations as he was the greatest translator, scholar alive at that period and lived at St. Paul’s Monastery at Jarrow and he would have been about 26 years old then and Lindisfarne and St. Paul’s would have had a daily communication along with St. Peter’s Abbey in Wearmouth as they were a short boat trip from each other on the same East Coast of England.
I have had letters of reply and support for my quest from His Eminence Cardinal, Vincent Nichols, His Excellency, Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Antonio Mennini and Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
As one may note from the reply from the British Library the Gospels of Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ have been bandied about from pillar to post by God knows who since the Reformation and now being used as a money making venture as over 100,000 people had to pay over £8 per person to view them at Durham this meant that people who were on low pay with a couple of kids or unemployed or pensioners could not afford to view one of the greatest wonders of the world and the source and lifeblood of our civilization.

This article explores the ways women interacted with the Scottish kirk in the decades prior to the National Covenant of 1638, mainly focusing on urban areas especially Edinburgh and environs. The written records, especially those of the kirk session, are skewed toward punishing women who engaged in sin, especially sexual sins such as adultery and fornication. Indeed, these records show that while women's behavior and speech was highly restricted and women were punished more frequently than men for their sexual behavior or for speaking out of turn, there were moments when women had a significant public voice, albeit one that was highly restricted and required male sanctioning. For example, women were often called on to testify before kirk sessions against those who had committed sins, even if the accused sinners were male or social superiors or both. Perhaps the most important moment where women used their male-sanctioned voice to speak out in public came at the Edinburgh Prayer Book Riots of 1637, which was led by women. This article argues that women were given the opportunity to act in public because the church had been characterized by many Scottish male preachers in gendered language-they called the church a "harlot mother" and a "whore" that needed correction. Therefore, the women of the Prayer Book Riot were sanctioned to speak out against a licentious sinner, much in the way women were called on to testify against sinners in front of kirk sessions.

In May 1527, only 17 years after Raphael completed his work, the vast and unruly army of the powerful Emperor Charles V, a motley crew of German, Spaniard and Italian mercenaries, sacked Rome. The assault was brutal and swift: by the time the orgy of bloodletting finally ended, nearly half of the city's population lay dead in the streets. The infirm of the hospital of Santo Spirito-located nearby St. Peter's Basilica-were slaughtered in their beds, and the young residents of the city's orphanage were thrown screaming into the Tiber. 'The stench,' according to one visitor, 'was terrible.' Whilst dogs gnawed on the heaving piles of corpses, the victorious soldiers lazily amused themselves swigging pilfered wine and playing games of dice. As an eyewitness recounted in his diary, 'hell itself was a more beautiful sight to behold' than the city in those blood-soaked days. Although the majority of the besieging forces were probably motivated by nothing more than base desires of greed and the spoils of war, the fearsome Lutheran mercenary knights that made up some of their number saw an opportunity to demonstrate once and for all that the golden age of the Roman church had passed. Dressed in stolen vestments, the soldiers conducted mock papal conclaves and travesties of the mass, killing monks and extorting priests. One snatched the spear that pierced Christ's side on Calvary from its altar in St. Peter's Basilica, and rode through the Borgo holding it aloft before him. Lead seals were ripped from papal decrees and re-used to make cannonballs, and some soldiers even attempted to extract the golden threads from Raphael's priceless tapestries hanging on the walls of the Sistine Chapel. Efforts to burn them in order to obtain their gold apparently failed, and the tapestries were eventually carried away as loot by the emperor's soldiers and sold to the highest bidders. The pope himself was nowhere to be seen-at the first sign of trouble, he hurriedly fled from the Vatican to the fortress of Castel Sant' Angelo via a secret covered passage. In a gesture vividly showcasing his impotence at the unfolding events, the Sistine Chapel was used to stable the army's horses. So too were the pope's palatial living quarters decorated by Raphael nearby. Manuscripts torn from the shelves of the Papal library were spread upon the floors and used as litter for the animals. And so we are returned to Raphael's great frescoes, silent witnesses to this tale of carnage.

An example from TC Smout;
" In Berwickshire in 1556 twenty two churches were derelict, a few without walls a few without roofs, most without vestments, fonts or books and the mass could not be celebrated. The destruction of parish churches and abbeys, which popular legend blames on the followers of John Knox".
Popular legend is correct with blaming Knox for all the wrongs committed by Protestants not only against the Roman Catholics, but also for the crimes he had perpetrated against the Scottish nation.
Professor Gordon Donaldson exclaimed that he could not understand why students giggled and sniggered whenever he or any other historian was giving a lecture and mentioned the name of Knox.
Harry Reid a former editor with the Glasgow broadsheet The Herald wrote a book recently
' Outside Verdict' published 2002 by the Kirk’s own publishers.
Reid expresses his ignorance also as to why Knox is treated with derision he writes;
" It generally seems ignorant of John Knox ( The Protestant Church) its founding father, a Titan of a man who is still more than 400 years on, internationally acclaimed, yet who has here within Scotland so often been traduced, absurdly, as a killjoy and a knave, or even worse".
He goes on to explain about the Protestant Church;
" It does not seem proud, or even particularly aware, of its ( for the most part) great and noble past, and of the good it has done in Scotland and beyond".
I am astounded that these people cannot see the evil that Knox and his " Rascal Multitude" ( Knox's own words for his followers) have perpetrated upon the Scottish people.

money lending Presbyterian minister, like John Knox who became obscenely rich for the rest of his life with an innocent 13 year old to keep his grisly old bones warm in his bed while knocking three children out of her.
Without a doubt Knox was no normal species especially over his betrayal of George Wishart whom Knox accompanied for two years after being planted in Scotland to infiltrate the Lutheran group that Wishart had formed.
On 15th and 16th of January 1546 in Knox's home town of Haddington Wishart had been preaching sedition, while Knox cowered in the background and allowed Bothwell to capture Wishart on the evening of the 16th yet it is well known that Knox was always armed with a sword and pistol but done nothing to help Wishart, from that moment Knox's master plan took shape.
Bothwell inadvertently aided Knox's plans though he prevented Knox getting his hands on 6000 gold merks that the father of one of Knox's school pupils, Cockburn Laird of Ormiston had been bringing from the English for the overthrow of the Scottish government.
The Earl of Bothwell knew of the conspiracy and the transfer of the loot so he lay in wait and when Cockburn approached Edinburgh, Bothwell attacked him and severely wounded him and made off with the fortune which in today's value would have been millions of pounds.
This is the reason why Bothwell was framed for the murder of Lord Darnley.
Henry VIII had put a bounty of £1000 on the head of Cardinal Beaton, ( which is £150,000 equivalent in the year 2000)
Knox had sussed out that Wishart would be executed for spreading the Lutheran doctrine and for the part he had played with the English invaders.
John Knox knew that Wishart's followers were fanatics and with Wishart removed then Knox could take over and introduce his Calvinist bumph to the leaderless Lutheran loonies.
As Knox had foreseen in his master plan Wishart was executed for treason at St. Andrews six weeks later on the 1st of March 1546.

Jesus Christ-King of Kings-Son of God
He sat on a donkey on palm strewn paths
Cries of delight arose from mouths.
The First born Son of God Christ Jesus.
To the temple he was led
There the money changers the people were bled
He cast them out of the House of His Father
The Sanhedrin were in a rage
Who is this Man to whom multitudes did gather?
He taught a new ideology of the age.
Secret plans they did form to bring Him down
To rob Him of His holy crown
Pilate and the Roman lords were sought
A price of 30 silver coins His friend was bought
At the Garden of Gethsemane from a kiss He was put in chains
Plans to kill Him for their ill-gotten gains
Pilate washed his hands of the affair he could find no crime
The high priest Caiaphas’s mind was distorted with grime
On His 6th day in Jerusalem they hung Him on a cross
He called to heaven that none of His sheep to loss
His promise to Peter He would return
The start of a new beginning had begun
Jesus is the Messiah the Chosen One.
He cried out loud before He went away
“Eli, Eli, Lama sabachthani”?
His dead corps was taken down and in a crypt buried
On the 3rd day from His death His word delivered
The Son of Man rose from the dead at the hand of Rome
In Jerusalem the spark of light was born Jesus was in His holy home.

_ Alpha. _ 6th of April, 1320. ' For as long as but one hundred of us remain alive, we will never on any conditions submit to the domination of the English. It is not for glory nor riches, nor honours that we fight, but for freedom alone, which no good man gives up except with his life.' Signed by the council of Earls, Barons and Freeholders at Newbattle Abbey near Edinburgh. Part of The Declaration of Arbroath, written shortly after Robert De Brus had defeated English invaders at Bannockburn, following in the footsteps of Scotland's greatest warrior hero and defender of freedom William Wallace! Oh Wallace William out of the west came to claim justice, freedom and a nation for God his Lord's holy name, no cry or deed or want for himself of glory or fame. At Stirling Bridge the might of Proud Edward's army fell, the cream of England died, lived not a man to tell. Victory for bold Wallace and his fighters, river awash with invaders blood did swell. The great General whom Napoleon followed his thought train, half of one thousand years again. A mountain of a man legendary robed in emerald green, from the depth of the forests the Caledonian, to free his beloved land from tyranny, wipe out oppression, degradation, exploitation The Wallace cried 'Rebellion'.

The press called him a caretaker pope. Elected on October 28, 1958, at the age of 77, he was expected to warm the Chair of Peter for a few years without making any great waves. They could hardly have been more wrong. The people called him Good Pope John because of his genial nature, and few popes have been more loved. His successor, Paul VI, hailed him as "an incomparable pope." But the Jews had a special relationship with John XXIII, and it is their love for him that brought Rabbi David G. Dalin to Seton Hall University, in South Orange New Jersey. On March 30, he delivered a guest lecture for the Institute of Judeo-Christian Studies to reveal the fruits of his research into the life and actions of Pope John and his impact on the Jews of the 20th century. "In the Jewish community," says Rabbi Dalin, "he has been recognized and revered, together with Pope John Paul II, as one of the 20th century's greatest papal friends and supporters of the Jewish people. Catholics are anticipating the day of their shared canonization. I think that's being anticipated with a great deal of reverence, happiness, and gratitude by the Jewish community as well." Rabbi Dalin, professor at Ave Maria University and an expert on American Jewish history and Catholic-Jewish relations, has sailed into controversial waters before to tell the true stories of popes and Jews. His book The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis (Regnery: 2005) soundly debunked defamatory and grossly inaccurate books by Garry Wills and John Cornwell, who both claimed that Pius did nothing to help the Jews. In fact, Dalin's research showed that Pius had been instrumental in saving perhaps hundreds of thousands of Jewish lives.

Since the first voyage was so successful financially, and because Anglo-Spanish relations had worsened further, Hawkins' second and third slaving voyages were semi-official ventures, with Secretary of State William Cecil clearly involved in overseeing them. In addition to backers from the city, three privy councillors invested in the second voyage: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester; Henry Herbert, Earl of Pembroke; and Edward Clinton, the Lord High Admiral. Hawkins also had Queen Elizabeth's support since he chartered the old and leaky 700-ton Jesus of Lubeck from her and sailed under the royal standard. Queen Elizabeth I, was a shareholder in the third voyage too, supplying the Jesus for a second time and another old 300-ton vessel, the Minion, though no list survives of the other investors in this voyage. Though the Spanish ambassador protested about the planned expedition, through playacting and camouflage on the part of the government about its true purpose, the voyage departed. Having captured enough West Africans to assemble a cargo of slaves, Hawkins then headed West across the Atlantic. Here he ran into serious trouble, because having completed his business with the colonists and while in San Juan de Ulúa repairing the Jesus for the voyage home with what he believed was Spanish acquiescence, they attacked his fleet. Only two ships, the Judith, captained by Drake, and the Minion survived, but then Drake left for England in the Judith with all the provisions onboard, leaving the Minion, leaking and without supplies, to struggle home alone. Hawkins and Drake undertook three slaving voyages together, in 1562-63, 1564-65, and 1567-69. On the first voyage, Hawkins reported that he captured "at the least" 300 African slaves in Sierra Leone through a campaign of destruction and violence; it is likely that he also attacked Portuguese ships for their cargo of slaves, ivory,

When Our Blessed Lord Jesus was questioned by Pilate after He said "I am truth" Pilate reiterated "What is truth"? Even today in the year 2020 non-believers still do not understand the Word "Truth". Truth is love, compassion, kindness, help and it is available to everyone on this planet all one has to say is Jesus "You are my truth". Looking back through the mists of time and the saints and angels appointed by Jesus and their words and deeds in his name we can read the wonders of these men and women in the Name of Jesus, however, greed, murder and mayhem have persisted in the name of "The Evil One" these fact no-one can contradict.

Researched by Francesco Josepa Dougan 22/04/2020 Web results Page 3 of about 14,600,000 results (0.48 seconds) For the study, published today in PLOS ONE, care home staff were asked anonymously about positive and negative behaviours they had done or had witnessed colleagues doing. Dr Claudia Cooper (UCL Psychiatry), the study's lead author, said: "We found low rates of verbal and physical abuse; the abusive behaviours reported were largely matters of neglect. "These behaviours were most common in care homes that also had high rates of staff burnout, which suggests it's a consequence of staff who are under pressure and unable to provide the level of care they would like to offer." From 92 care homes across England, 1,544 care home staff responded to the survey. The staff were asked whether they had, in the past three months, witnessed a range of positive and negative behaviours. Their responses were linked to data from each care home describing a measure of burnout in care home staff. Some negative behaviours were categorised as 'abusive', using a standard definition,* and based on the behaviour reported, rather than the intention of the care home staff. The most common abusive behaviours were: making a resident wait for care (26% of staff reported that happening); avoiding a resident with challenging behaviour (25%); giving residents insufficient time for food (19%); and taking insufficient care when moving residents (11%). Verbal abuse was reported by 5% of respondents, and physical abuse by 1.1%. At least some abuse was identified in 91 of the 92 care homes. Positive behaviours were reported to be much more common than abusive behaviours, however some positive but time-consuming behaviours were notably infrequent. For instance, more than one in three care home staff were rarely aware of a resident being taken outside of the home for their enjoyment, and 15% said activities were almost never planned around a resident's interests. "Most care homes, and their staff, strive to provide person-centred care, meaning that care is designed around a person's needs, which requires getting to know the resident and their desires and values. But due to resources and organisational realities, care can often become more task-focused, despite intentions and aspirations to deliver person-centred care," said co-author Dr Penny Rapaport (UCL Psychiatry). "Carers can't just be told that care should be person-centred-they need to be given the support and training that will enable them to deliver it," she said. The study is part of the UCL MARQUE cohort study, which is also looking into cost-effective interventions to improve the quality of care for people with dementia, and will be using this anonymous reporting as a measure of how well training interventions are working. More than two thirds of care homes residents have dementia. Agitated behaviours such as pacing, shouting or lashing out are more common in

To combat the high price of mutton, some food sellers have been serving chemically altered rats, minks, and fox as if they were mutton. In the space of one three-month period, police arrested 900 people for this nefarious scheme. They also seized 20,000 tons of this ‘meat’. The level of E. coli found in the ratty meat was said to be seriously high.
Although pork is readily available in China, beef isn’t. Therefore, because of the high market value placed on beef, vendors have found a way to manufacture fake beef by altering pork to make it taste and look like beef. They dip the pork in beef extract and glaze it, which takes well over an hour, but allows them to make a lot of money. Surprisingly, doctors say that this fake beef could cause deformity, poisoning, or cancer.

The Oil is a lubricant to stop the Tectonic Plates rubbing against each other and because this has been taken away from the planet they are constantly rubbing against each other causing friction and this causes more heat to be generated underground and seas and causing more constant volcanic eruptions and violation of Mother Earth.

It is not for glory nor riches, nor honours that we fight, but for freedom alone, which no good man gives up except with his life.'

Oh Wallace William out of the west came to claim justice, freedom and a nation for God his Lord's holy name, no cry or deed or want for himself of glory or fame. At Stirling Bridge the might of Proud Edward's army fell, the cream of England died, lived not a man to tell. Victory for bold Wallace and his fighters, river awash with invaders blood did swell.

I will include the author J. Mackintosh who's History of Scotland, circa 1891, is almost dedicated to the promotion of the devil's own faith, Protestantism.
This is the word of the Protestant church referring to its power over the civil government.
'This power and ecclesiastical polity is different and distinct from that which is called the civil power, and belongs to the civil government of the commonwealth; Although they are both of God and tend to the same end, if they be rightly used, namely, to advance the glory of God, and to have good subjects.
This ecclesiastical power flows immediately from God and the Mediator, Christ Jesus, and is spiritual, not having a temporal head on earth, but only Christ, the spiritual King and Governor of His Church.
Therefore this power and polity of the Church should lean upon the Word of God immediately, as the only ground thereof, and should be taken from the pure fountains of the Scriptures, hearing the voice of Christ, the only spiritual King, and being ruled by His laws....
The civil power should command the spiritual to exercise and perform their office according to the Word of God.
The spiritual rulers should require the Christian magistrates to administer justice and punish vice; and to maintain the liberty and peace of the Church within their bound....
The magistrate ought to assist, maintain, and fortify the jurisdiction of the Church.
The ministers ought to assist their princes in all things agreeable to the Word of God, provided they do not neglect their own charge by involving themselves in civil affairs.'
What I seem to understand from the mentioned constitution, is that it leans heavily towards the powers of the land and to protect the Church a Church that was imposed upon the Proletariat, and the absolute destruction of the Roman Catholic Church and as has been seen in later years the turmoil against the Episcopalian Church, and the split into 1000s of factions of the Protestant Churches.
The Scottish Protestants seemed to think that they were the only people capable of determining the way that God should be worshipped, contrary to the way that Jesus Christ wished.

Thank you for your correspondence. As you pointed out, the Lindisfarne Gospels were once in the possession of Durham Cathedral Priory, according to Symeon of Durham, who refers to them in his twelfth-century ‘Tract on the Origins and Progress of this the Church of Durham.’ After this period there is very little information on how or when the Lindisfarne Gospels left Durham Cathedral Priory.
Lawrence Nowell, an antiquary and lexicographer, is known to have consulted the Lindisfarne Gospels in the 1560s, but he is not believed to have visited Durham. The name Thomas Turner also appears in the codex, and his annotations have been dated to the early sixteenth century. The sixteenth-century antiquary Thomas Bowyer (d.1569/70) may also have possessed the manuscript; by 1605, it was in the possession of his son, Robert Bowyer (b. c. 1560, d. 1621), a parliamentary official and politician, who inscribed his signature on the verso page of the second leaf of the manuscript.
In the first few decades of the seventeenth century Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (b. 1571, d. 1631) 1st baronet, antiquary and politician, acquired the manuscript. It was then passed on to his son, Sir Thomas Cotton (b. 1594, d. 1662), and grandson, Sir John Cotton (b. 1621, d.1702). The Cotton collection, including the Lindisfarne Gospels, was bequeathed to the nation ‘for Publick Use and Advantage’ by Sir John Cotton at his death in 1702. When the British Museum was established in 1753, these manuscripts formed one of the foundation collections of the Museum. The library of the Museum became the British Library in 1973.
As you note, the Gospels were recently loaned to Palace Green Library, Durham, for an exhibition, and the accompanying book Richard Gameson, From holy Island to Durham: The Contexts and Meanings of The Lindisfarne Gospels (2013) contains an excellent analysis of the manuscript’s history. The Library does not have details of the funding for that exhibition.

Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, brother of slain President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. Attorney General, was the almost certain Democratic nominee for president in 1968 when he was gunned down in Los Angeles on June 5, just after giving his California primary victory speech. His Palestinian assassin, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, said he killed Kennedy due to his vocal support for Israel

re, the Holy Relic of Saint Thomas Becket being loaned to Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral do you not think that it is a disgrace and an offence to Our Blessed Brother and Lord, Jesus Christ that in these two former Roman Catholic, Houses of God that they are charging entrance fees to enter into these holy places?
I have already contacted His Holiness, Pope Francis, Cardinal Nichols and Archbishop Menneni in 2013 about Durham Cathedral being loaned the Holy Lindisfarne Gospels by The British Library in London and charging over £8.00 per head to view them and well over 100, 000 people viewed these sacred scriptures that were stolen by the thugs of the Anti-Christ, King Henry VIII of England....who actually destroyed the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury and the shrines of Saint Cuthbert, Saint Oswald and Saint Bede in Durham Cathedral in case you have forgotten that the Church of England was created by Henry.
I wrote to The British Library and they replied that they did not know where the money went.
I do realise that The Catholic Church are trying to build bridges with the Church of England, however, I have never heard and apology from them for the desecration and destruction of The Holy Roman Catholic Faith in England or on these Islands and the murder of our priests such as the forgotten Jesuit John Ballard and Cardinal Beaton and our Catholic Queen Marie Stuart (AKA) Mary Queen of Scots.
It is an outrage that people without money such as homeless, and people on low or no income and pensioners cannot go into the places where Jesus is present and His Holy Lindisfarne Gospels should be put on permanent/temporary display and moved to Catholic Churches all over the UK without fees being charged, donations would be acceptable but not enforced as was in the Temple in Jerusalem.
Matthew 21:12
Then Jesus went into the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
John 2:14
In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables.
John 2:16
To those selling doves He said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Father's house into a marketplace!"

The Lindisfarne Gospels were created by Roman Catholic scribes and I believe St. Bede had some influence in the translations as he was arguably one of the greatest scribes in the history of the English Roman Catholic Church to which he was solidly dedicated.
I am also calling for the repatriation of the Holy remains of St. Cuthbert to be removed from Durham Cathedral and placed in a fitting Roman Catholic home such as St. Mary's Cathedral, Newcastle.
St. Cuthbert was the greatest Roman Catholic miracle creating saint in all of England and Scotland and I can assure you his miracles will return when he is home.

The Scottish Government and particulary the leader and former leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond and all the members of ALL political parties in The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, are guilty of allowing sectarian marches of hate by The Orange Order against Scottish Catholics in 2016 and previous years.
They are also guilty of not returning all the properties and lands forcibly taken from Catholics and The Catholic Church from 1560 until today April 2016.
They are also guilty of offering no appology for the illegal forced abdication of Marie Stuart, Mary Queen of Scots 1542-87 and the abduction of her then one year old son and crowning a baby as king of Scotland, James VI of Scotland and I of England.
Marie Stuart decreed in 1561 when she returned from France that everyone could enjoy religious freedom to worship God in the way they wanted.

considered one of his oppressors, he attacked the fiery zeal of sundry churchmen – it was called an attack on religion – he attacked the pride and presumption of the titled – it was called envy and arrogance; he wished for more wealth to be distributed to the poor, and more humility amongst the rich, he was branded as a disturber of the peace. He desired to see the principles of the 1688 revolution carried into effect with less corruption in high places – and he was called a Jacobin, and ordered to be silent. In his coffin, his face was uncommonly dark and deeply marked; he was 37 and 7 months old! 5 years earlier in Vienna, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was robbed of his life with almost exactly the same symptoms as the bard, swelling of the limbs, excruciating rheumatism pains, bruising and delusion, which are the classic indications of Arsenic and Mercury poisoning. Burns spoke of Calvinism with such latitude of language that shocked or vexed all who listened, and caused him to be regarded as a free – thinker or a deist.

On 15th and 16th of January 1546 in Knox's home town of Haddington Wishart had been preaching sedition, while Knox cowered in the background and allowed Bothwell to capture Wishart on the evening of the 16th yet it is well known that Knox was always armed with a sword and pistol but done nothing to help Wishart, from that moment Knox's master plan took shape. Bothwell inadvertently aided Knox's plans though he prevented Knox getting his hands on 6000 gold merks that the father of one of Knox's school pupils, Cockburn Laird of Ormiston had been bringing from the English for the overthrow of the Scottish government. The Earl of Bothwell knew of the conspiracy and the transfer of the loot so he lay in wait and when Cockburn approached Edinburgh, Bothwell attacked him and severely wounded him and made off with the fortune which in today's value would have been millions of pounds. This is the reason why Bothwell was framed for the murder of Lord Darnley.

My reading of Knox's life disagrees with that of most of his other biographers since M'Crie. It is on the whole supported, however, by the eighteenth century estimate represented by David Hume and Burns. If I show bias it is not, at any rate, theological bias. The object of this book is somewhat different from that of the biographies which I have mentioned: it is to give a critical account of a representative Calvinist and Puritan. The temper in which I have attempted this may perhaps best be described as realistic; I have attempted to tell in contemporary terms how a typical Calvinist and Puritan lived, felt and thought. With the historical figure I am not particularly concerned'. As one may note the date of publication was similar to D. H. Lawrence' banned book and at the height of Catholic persecution in Scotland at the hands of John White the Church of Scotland's sectarian and racist moderator. I will relate to a few examples from Muir he writes about Knox; ' Between 1540 and 1543 we find him engaged as an ecclesiastical notary, and up to March of 1543 he was certainly in the Catholic Church. Of the life he led during this time his fellow reformers tell us not a word, but the Catholics maintain that he was notorious for his immorality, and even assert that he was guilty of committing adultery with his stepmother (his father's second wife).
