With so many churches falling into disrepair, even here in our own county and ever diminishing congregations it makes you wonder whether it is right to use public money for single faith centres? Should we be looking to invest in the World’s humanitarian crisis instead?

The French President, Emmanuel Macron, vows to rebuild the Notre Dame. I asked Vic his thoughts on this….
