A sign for our times: a Christian MP delivers a speech to the House of Commons. The chamber is almost deserted. You would get the immediate impression that this speech was a matter of no importance. The MP does not appear to be a man worth listening to. At least, there is no one taking the trouble to listen to him. Of the 650 MPs, only three or four are there. Perhaps he is a political hack, or an incoherent, rambling eccentric—tolerated as an MP but ignored and sidelined by all mainstream politicians?
