  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The complaint was lodged by Christian political candidate Maureen Martin, who accused the council of violating the Local Government Act by displaying the flag during an election period.

Martin, representing the Christian Peoples’ Alliance in Lewisham East, initiated legal action through her lawyers, who warned the council that they would seek injunctive relief in the High Court unless the flags were taken down.
