Their lack of love came through. Your soup kitchen may be "stupid" but those who use it probably think otherwise.<br />Perhaps after you have had a few group meeting you could organise a hustings inviting only your regular worshipers and those of other faiths if space permits. Then see which candidates are willing to turn up.<br />Get a techie to provide a live webcast so that your followers can all watch too.

The Argus seems to have closed the combox after your superb contribution!<br /><br />The Argus did not, of course, give the reasons WHY Father Blake is criticising political parties(Green Party candidate ignoring an invitation to meet homeless people; Labour candidate ignoring two invitations to visit the base for asylum seekers).<br /><br />If they had, it would have been impossible to end with this trite sentence:<br />'But parliamentary hopefuls have claimed that elected representatives act on behalf of whole communities.'tempus putationishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08717989265190251148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-2249113133052473352010-03-02T20:33:14.433+00:002010-03-02T20:33:14.433+00:00Thanks Pelerin, either they're "done"...Thanks Pelerin, either they're "done" with comments or mine happened to be the last one on there for some reason or other.<br />Quite a few previous posters had gone for the "hoof in mouth" gambit without checking out their "target."<br /><br />I'm surprised "they" didn't give a proper link to Fr.
