When it Comes to Reparations, the Church of England Doesn?t Care About Evidence or Ethics Mon Sep 22, 2025 11:00 | Nigel Biggar
The Church of England has shown that it doesn't care about evidence or ethics, says Prof Nigel Biggar. Why else, when presented with proof its ?100 million reparations giveaway is groundless, would it press on regardless?

New data shows the Met Office's 'record' heat spikes are junk, weaponised by Net Zero activists to scare the public witless and push the no-hydrocarbons fantasy, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

SF Back Coke Boycott?

Report this post to the editors

Was chatting to a member of Ográ Sinn Féin over the weekend and I brought up the Coca-Cola boycott issue with him and some of the problems I had with the party’s stance on the issue.

He told me that the party had not had a policy stance on the matter when the referendum took place in UCD and so members were relatively free to take what stance they wished. He went on to claim that this was no longer the case and that at an Ard Comhairle meeting last week the Ard Comhairle had overwhelmingly voted to adopt a position of supporting the boycott campaign.

I expressed surprise at this making the point that there had been nothing in the media about it and no statements from the party on it. He could offer no explanation for this but he was very sure that the decision was taken.

So basically, I am looking to see if anyone else has heard the same thing and what effect does this have on those members of the party’s Ard Comhairle who openly opposed the boycott campaign?
