@emilyydrives @EssexPR Who is there to hold them to account? All the party leaders and their lapdogs are just classmates who all had the same ideas of how they are above us and can bleed us dry while keeping us divided so we cant see clearly and dont hold them to account 🤷‍♂️

@emilyhewertson Unfortunately for any gov now, any actual growth means closing the loopholes for their pals, cutting multi million pound spending on external management consultants, and making cuts by making things more automated at Whitehall itself. Because it affects their pockets, they wont

[R P @SciRP247]

@scotttm77 @eachwayextra The lies fed to shift your focus away from realities. Russia is no more a threat than France. But to keep you from asking the right questions and seeing sense the gov (all parties) will do anything to keep the hardworking people divided and attentive elsewhere

@JohnHealey_MP You can’t "build a stronger Britain" by taxing aspiration through frozen thresholds.. simple enough
​Fund public finances by shutting down elite loopholes and Whitehall waste, not by stealth taxing working families. Unfreeze the thresholds and watch the economy breathe and grow.

"You made my day."
​Must be nice. Meanwhile UK taxpayers carry the can when billions in overseas loan guarantees risk defaulting, while our own public services are told theres nothing. Funny how the risk appetite is always there abroad but never for domestic relief. #Budget2026

@TimONeill007 @DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Tim, my point was the irony of a purist getting mad over a pagan name. As for traditions, Pope Gregory’s 601 AD letter proves the Church intentionally co-opted feasts. I’m not doing a 3 AM deep dive into Saturnalia with you just so you can win an argument. Goodnight. ✌️

[R P @SciRP247]

@TimONeill007 @DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Will have a read of your article in the morning (i am happy to be wrong with a good read).. have a good one!

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott You literally just posted the exact Bede quote proving she was a goddess and the Church kept her name. Thanks for doing my work! You’ve moved the goalposts into another timezone. Keep clutching at straws for the last word if your ego needs it. Have a great night!

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott You just admitted it comes from Eosturmonath. The ONLY historical record of that month is Bede, who explicitly wrote it was named after the goddess Eostre. You literally just proved my point. I brought receipts; you brought denial. Keep clutching at straws.

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott You clearly don't know what Passover is. Early Christians were Jewish, hence the Hebrew "Pascha". Northern Europe converted centuries later, needing pagan compromise. And they DID co-opt elsewhere! Dec: Christmas = Roman Saturnalia/Yule. Traditions vary wildly across the globe.

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Because missionaries adapt to LOCAL cultures. Eostre was an Anglo-Saxon goddess. Mellitus was on a mission to Britain. Are you expecting 7th-century Italians or Spaniards to randomly adopt an English pagan name for their holiday? Make it make sense.

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Not a theory, it was literal Church strategy. In 601 AD, Pope Gregory I wrote to Mellitus instructing missionaries to co-opt pagan festivals and rebrand them as Christian feasts to help convert locals. The receipts are in the Church's own records. Go argue with the Pope.

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott It’s definitely more than two (Slavic languages use Wielkanoc and Hungarians use Húsvét), but yes you're right. For us and Germany - early Church missionaries intentionally co-opted the local pagan goddess festival to make it easier to convert the Anglo-Saxons

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Not gonna lie, I got lost halfway myself 🤣

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Most resistant to accepting the truth in religion I guess?

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Entice*

[R P @SciRP247]

@DrunkIrish_62 @IsabelOakeshott Well if she existed I doubt anyone would have converted to Christianity .. but when Christianity was spreading in Europe, many of the pagan traditions were integrated to entire more people

[R P @SciRP247]

@markfowell1 @IsabelOakeshott Passover?.. Greece, Spain, Italy and France still use that
