The first sex worker has entered UK politics and Sally Hope considers if they should be taken seriously.
If you live in South Dorset you will have the opportunity on 4th July, to vote for Rosie Morrell, apparently the first sex worker to enter British politics.
A quick glance at the website of her and her partner’s newly formed political party “Everyone is God” provides much fodder for the more pearl clutching members of the Church to get their knickers in a twist about.
One being Rosie’s own very tiny knickers, that she’s sexily posing in, to the blasphemous name of the party itself. But I don’t think there’s really any need for Christians to be getting hot under the collar. “Everyone is God” doesn’t appear to be in any way a credible or serious political party. Rather, from looking at the website it appears to be the vanity project of a wannabe cult leader which is probably best ignored.

Ms Morrell’s partner Marcus White seemingly believes he has the answers to ‘empower everyone, solve everything and fulfill every dream’. Naturally, he’s the leader of the party with Ms Morrell described as his ‘Principle Adviser’. I’m not sure if he means Principal Adviser or if he is saying she advises him on his principles as his scantily clad sidekick, presumably tottering alongside him, freezing her nipples off wearing nothing but her underwear, to attract attention.
The Miss Moneypenny to his James Bond, the Debbie Maggee to his Paul Daniels, the Carrie Symmonds to his Boris Johnson. As different as he claims to be from other politicians, all I see here is the same old story.
I have no problem with a sex worker entering politics. However, Mr White and Ms Morrells’ policies read sometimes like they were written by a bunch of naive primary schoolchildren on a ‘create your own political manifesto project’. They have a “following your heart policy” and a “boundaries’’ policy that could have been drafted at the end of a PSHE session by a class of twelve year olds who are just beginning to understand concepts like “personal space” and believe they ought to be included in political manifestos.

Yet at other times they seem significantly more sinister, like something straight out of a dystopian fiction. Mr White wants to rid the world of cash and control banking through one single bank that the Government (aka himself) has total control of. He wants to regulate parenting and has a statement at the top of several of his policies which reads: ‘We have a simple choice, more privacy and more crime, less privacy and less crime.’ He also wants to make being rude and being late for work a crime.

Is there space for faith in politics?
Christians don’t have to avoid politics but here’s three things to help you debate in a Godly way
I cannot find any information online about Mr White prior to him appearing as a candidate for South Dorset this year. I am sure his attempts at politics will see him confined to the annals of history as a ‘crackpot’ and his party forgotten. His policies suggest to me he is a man desperate for control; nothing new there, and in terms of power and influence, there are far more dangerous men in politics for Christians to be concerned about when it comes to our country’s future.
