I suddenly see why it was actually a matter of national importance that Lord Alli bought his clothes for him.
Young people want serious religion. The lack of seriousness is why young people leave or dismiss Anglicanism. I think the enormity of the backlash against @CburyCathedral is because this graffiti epitomises the feeling that those leading the church lack firm faith. Lack pious…
Illegible, unaesthetic, disrespectful nonsense from a church so desperate to be seen as progressive, its leaders spiral it into irrelevance. Just as faith based Christianity is surging, Church of England congregations are falling as it attempts to be “cool”. Go woke, go broke.…
The Special Relationship is going to be torn apart due to fundamental disagreements on *checks notes* the Ecclesiastical Exemption from Listed Building Control. I'm HERE for it.
I believe this is what the kids call cringe.
I'm afraid this does rather suggest a distant crit-theory view of "urban transgression" and "aesthetic norm rejection" whilst ignoring the actual working-class people who find graffiti an ugly depressing menace and who look to the Church for beauty and meaning.
There is something deeply bizarre about the way in which the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury delight in desecrating their sacred space. It feels almost Freudian. thetimes.com/article/5e9cfa…
At 18, Martyna Ogonowska got 17 years for stabbing a man who was violently sexually assaulting her - appeal denied. Banaras Hussain, Rotherham gang leader who raped & tortured girls as young as 11, walked free after serving under half his 19-year sentence. This isn’t justice.
“A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
Interviewer: What makes you tick? Tolkien: I don't tick. I am not a machine. If I did tick, I should have no views on it, and you had better ask the winder.
I’ve never asked this before but please share and retweet: I’ve created a gofundme to raise money for the release of the full court transcripts of the grooming gang cases which not even the victims are able to access due to the extensive costs <details in next tweet👇>
30 years in prison, and this problem goes away in a second. It turns out that human beings, like all other sentient beings, respond to schedules of reinforcement (i.e., rewards and punishments). Throw this degenerate pig into a dark cell, and our cultural products will be safe.
The thing is, @IndiaWilloughby, I really do enjoy cigars, whisky and facing down totalitarians, so by the same arguments that make you a woman, I am indeed Winston Churchill.
Farmers across the UK are protesting today. God speed the plough. #NoFarmersNoFood
There exists an infinitely renewable resource nearly anyone can harvest with rudimentary tools and it can be used to cook food, heat a home, and purify water. We choose to buy oil and gas from foreigners instead. When did we become unfathomably stupid?
Let me translate: we want everyone to talk about something other than our own management. RSPB stopped publishing bird numbers on its own reserves 12 years ago. Driven grouse shooting is one of the world’s most successful conservation stories… and the RSPB can’t bear it.
💷 New research shows that half of farmers surveyed believe their farms will become unviable due to the changes to inheritance tax relief announced in the Budget. READ MORE: ow.ly/EBI450UaNp4
Petition for the resignation of @JustinWelby as Archbishop of Canterbury in wake of recent findings of #Makin report into the horrific abuse of John Smyth, which uncovers his adequacies in relation to the response to abuse. @churchofengland change.org/p/a-call-for-j…
Presumably they'll redirect these resources to punishing people for keeping secret chickens
Whichever bureaucrat came up with this should be sacked and unemployable in any policymaking sector pour encourager les autres.
It’s the same reason why the window on this house is so mean. It’s no longer legal to build a house that has windows that are larger than one meter from the floor without adding rails or bars. See how the top of the metal bar aligns with the bottom of the tiny window?
