#johnlewis #ChristmasAd Not just fails to engage, but actually annoys! Whereas #MarksandSpencer aka #MandS have scored. Seems JL are playing to the wrong audience- I used to be a loyal shopper there, sadly no more

@BearGrylls I identify with this Bear. As I grow old I do see more clearly and understand more of what being a follow of Christ means. And having more time to pray now and read the Bible has been a revelation. I suppose I may be taxiing towards life’s runway, but thankfully I know the pilot!

@RadioTimes Good wishes and thanks to Monty; his successors should be Adam and Frances, as they are complementary, each offering something different.

What are these strange lights dancing in the night sky over #Chippenham? No sign of a beam from the ground as I first assumed it was someone playing tricks with a powerful torch

PIDDINGTON WILL HAVE ITS SAY. 🇬🇧

On 15 September—Battle of Britain Day and UN Democracy Day—our village votes.

Meanwhile, the Government proposes a huge asylum site while redacting vital details on water, sewage, electricity and operations.

After repeated questioning, Andy Burnham still cannot provide the answers.

This is peaceful. This is legal. This is democracy.

Yet another example of someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them. Just off a roundabout outside Tesco at Hathaway retail park in #Chippenham. It’s on a route to the rail station so busy with cars and pedestrians. #WiltsPolice please note

#TheNewsQuiz on #BBCR4 is a go-to show but this first episode lacked truly witty panel members - I would only rate one of them and fear the use of tick boxes rather than talent was employed

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

#joshtongue #testmatch Well bowled, but when hit for six why keep bowling the same delivery? Use your brain not testosterone to decide follow-up!

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

#BobHarris on #BBCR2 about #DollyParton said he agreed there is nothing that cannot be improved in the world with a little more love. I also agree and used 1Corinthians ch13 to introduce a church council meeting yesterday: Read it and understand love is supreme in serving Christ

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

Guilty secret, I have quite enjoyed some of the previous #Reacher series on #Prime, but this latest one is awful: wooden acting , badly scripted, violence casually included and unbelievable, but bloody. Foul language that seems also to be normalised as if f…ing is ok (it is not)

[Anthony Boutall @anthonyboutall]

- Denmark’s corporation tax is lower than Britain’s & moving lower
- Denmark has a much more flexible labour market than the UK
- Denmark supports private provision of education rather than taxing it
- Denmark deters unsustainable illegal migration & manages its borders with effect
- Denmark is now ranked higher than the UK for economic freedom in multiple international indices

This year, Denmark is expecting economic growth of 4.2%. This will be great for people’s living standards, their employment prospects, investment in public services, & the confidence of their national psyche.

We should learn from Denmark. It can be done! 🇩🇰📈🇩🇰

@bbctms Reminds me of Wiltshire 70+ team! Maybe we tried harder though 😉

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

This is the #publicfootpath #rightofway next to #KinHouse #KingtonLangley that appears to have been deliberately blocked, as well as neglected. #WiltshireCouncil need to deal with this

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

Where are the #prophets in the #ChurchofEngland? #Love is there but unless we attend to #1Cor14v1 we lose effect and become ever weaker: Love may be the greatest but it has to be in combination, not isolation

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

First thought was just to sit tight and ignore her after telling her that rudeness meant I would not move. But WWJesusDo? So I moved my car. Lady then approaches and humbly apologises. I hold her hand and say it really doesn’t matter any more. A beautiful moment. Thankyou Lord

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

#parking a car can be tricky: today I slotted in to one of 2 spaces by a country playing field, next to a large Volvo. An older lady appeared and immediately harangued me aggressively about making her exit difficult (it wasn’t). I did not respond in kind even when it continued…

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

Fantastic #tomato season, beginning with first ripe #fandango - a new favourite. #Nagina prolific mini-plum also fruiting well and the strongest growing. Attention needed to greenhouse shading though with this welcome #heatwave

[Howard Morland @HMaester]

In 2006 #RobertHarris wrote in a novel set in ancient Rome: “There are few forces in politics harder to resist than a feeling that something is inevitable, for humans move as a flock, and will always rush like sheep towards the safety of a winner.” How true, how prescient
