Humour. Sport. Politics. Catholicism. Birmingham. But not necessarily in that order.

@thomasforth They've been crypto-communists since Maggie Thatcher

Now presumably Josh Simons, who sacrificed his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham, will be given a peerage - as Lord Simons of Makerdeal perhaps. What one might call the road to Wigan peer?

@SebMilbank For most of its history prior to Likud, Israel was run by left-wing governments and genuinely fought for its right to exist. That has switched since the peace process started.

@_noahcd @ElTioBostero More confusingly, this girl was crying at Wembley when England were beating Germany 2-0

Anthony Eden never died; after Suez he moved to Maine

@kevin_ahern Traditionis Custodes exacerbated this problem: these people were unlikely to attend parish TLMs. It fed into their victimhood mentality and the a la carte Catholicism long espoused by the anti -TLM 'spirit of Vatican II' generation

@varadmehta Thus he was born in Leeds and could have played for England

They didn't. Being Rhinelanders, they made a separate #Aldi for Protestants.

@ZeldaZealot It's actually the reverse: if you can destroy the fertility rate through abortion, contraception and sterile relationships, you need to import labour to replace the people who will no longer be brought into existence

[Louis @ProBrum]

@joedauria61 @BenCrellin The point is this hasn't happened in previous World Cups (including USA 94)

[Louis @ProBrum]

@ruimoney The most interesting ones are the women on there who apparently agree with the church teaching on contraception but not 'sex before marriage' - have they actually thought that through?

Qatar v Switzerland is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where one country’s highest point is lower than the other country’s lowest point.

Qatar tops out at just 103m. Switzerland bottoms out at Lake Maggiore, ~193m.

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

@Nadeem83Shafqat This is absolute nonsense, all the games were live in TV in the UK

@HonorAndDaring @DF_UniatePapist @KirotheChosen1 Immigration isn't intrinsically evil. Abortion is.

[Louis @ProBrum]

@HonorAndDaring @DF_UniatePapist @KirotheChosen1 How many people have been killed as a result of migration? You're delusional if you think it's close to 50 million + in the US
