IT MAY be the, so-called, “terror attacks” that trigger the biggest headlines, the greatest public outrage and the most urgent responses from government, but it is the worsening spiritual and moral breakdown of this country which is the biggest threat to us all. 

The sickening rise in recent acid attacks, as well as the record number of knife crimes, are only a part of the UK’s plummeting moral decline, which also includes an increase in reported-only murders (now two a day in England and Wales), violence, rapes (over 100 a day), sexual assaults and child abuse etc. 

Imagine if all these despicable - victim-terrorising - crimes were committed by “terrorists”: a national state of emergency would be declared and the the streets would be teeming with armed police and soldiers. 

But have you noticed that this rot-from-within is barely discussed in the media?

Largely, because it is the media - the TV media, especially - that effectively “teaches” the populace how to behave - and what to believe in, ie: nothing. 

The result of which is that the subjects of, and even the very words “spirituality” and “morality”, are now virtually more offensive than the grossest obscenities. 

This insidious moral cancer affects us all: it destroys lives, fractures the family unit and, ultimately, ruins communities and our whole society - more effectively than any headline-grabbing terrorist.
