Cultural Vandalism Rife Across UK

 

Britain’s Christian Heritage Is Being Deliberately Starved While the Establishment Panders Elsewhere

For more than a thousand years Christianity has been the foundation stone of this kingdom. It gave us the common law, the concept of inalienable rights under God, the abolition of slavery, the hospitals, the universities, the very calendar of public holidays we still enjoy. Yet today that inheritance is treated with open contempt by an establishment drenched in leftist ideology, open-borders fanaticism, and a peculiar deference to political Islam.

Churches are vandalised or torched at the rate of eight attacks every single day. Between 2022 and 2024 more than nine thousand recorded crimes were committed against Church of England properties alone. Historic lead is stripped from roofs in industrial quantities, medieval windows are smashed, and gravestones are daubed with slogans. When Easter vandals sprayed “God is a lie” across a Lancashire churchyard in 2025 the police dutifully logged it as a hate crime. Yet when Bibles are ripped up or dumped in bins inside the very same “multi-faith” rooms that hospitals now boast about, nobody is arrested, no chief executive sends a grovelling email, and no extra security cameras appear.

Contrast that with the events at Leeds General Infirmary in November 2025. A man damaged a copy of the Quran in a shared prayer room. Within hours he was in handcuffs, charged with criminal damage, and the hospital’s chief executive issued a statement condemning “Islamophobic hate” while promising enhanced protection for Muslim patients. The message could not be clearer: one book enjoys privileged status, the other is disposable.

Meanwhile the government quietly guts the funding that keeps Britain’s Christian buildings standing. The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme, the only dedicated pot of money for repairing churches, cathedrals and chapels, has been cut from £42 million to just £23 million for 2025–26. For the first time in a quarter of a century individual buildings are capped at £25,000. Churches that have stood since the Normans now limp along on bake sales and prayer. At the same time the Home Office has handed mosques and Muslim schools £117 million in security funding over four years, with another £10 million announced in October 2025 alone. Jewish institutions rightly receive protection too, £70 million in the latest round. Christian sites receive nothing comparable. The bias is blatant and deliberate.

The same Treasury that pleads poverty when a parish roof leaks finds billions to house illegal migrants in four-star hotels (£5.77 million every day and rising) and millions more to fund experimental puberty-blocker trials on children despite the Cass Review’s damning evidence. Legal aid budgets balloon as an industry of human-rights lawyers, many cut from the same cloth as our current Prime Minister, rake in fortunes fighting deportation cases that should never have reached court. Money is never scarce when the cause is fashionable. It is only scarce when the cause is Christian Britain.

This is not mere incompetence. It is a sustained campaign to erase the majority faith while elevating minority grievances. Anyone who objects is immediately smeared as racist or Islamophobic, a tactic now so overused that it has lost all power except to enrage. Keep shouting “bigot” at decent, law-abiding people and you will eventually leave the field open to actual bigots. That is not principle. It is cowardice masquerading as virtue.

The British people are patient, but they are not infinite in their patience. They have watched their churches decay, their taxes redirected, their culture mocked, and their children offered up to the latest ideological experiment. Enough.

It is time to sweep this whole rotten settlement away. Restore proper funding to the buildings that define our skyline and our history. End the hotel racket and return to swift, offshore processing of asylum claims. Defund the transgender medical experiments on minors and put the money into real mental-health care. Enforce genuine neutrality in public institutions: if a Quran is sacrosanct then so is a Bible, and vice versa. Above all, reassert with pride that this is a Christian country, founded on Christian ethics, and that those ethics of justice, mercy, and ordered liberty are worth defending.

Our monarch still swears on the King James Bible to maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel. Perhaps it is time the rest of the governing class remembered that oath applies to the nation, not just to the Crown. Britain’s Christian soul is not negotiable. It is time we reclaimed it.
