The ability to do this- to essentially ‘reason away’ basic compassion- is a mark of all corrupted world views, but what this makes clear is that we have reached now that stage in the festering ‘be kindism’ of the British establishment.

Sprinting away would also be acceptable.

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times.

They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

رجل الماني من ميونخ كان لديه فضول اين تذهب الملابس في صندوق تبرعات الصليب الاحمر فوضع جهاز تتبع AirTag في حذاء

المفاجأة بعد 5 ايام تتبع الحذاء ليجده سافر اكثر من 800 كم، مر بالنمسا وسلوفينيا وكرواتيا واخيرا وصل للبوسنه والهرسك، سافر لهناك ووجده في متجر احذيه معروض للبيع واشتراه ب10 يورو ونشر هذا المقطع

سبب الموضوع جدل كبير فأضطر الصليب الاحمر يرد: بأن 10% من الملابس تذهب مجانا للمحتاجين والباقي يتم بيعها لتمويل مشاريع انسانية

I’m not a Christian Nationalist- as past writings will tell- but the irony of people like “Prof” Roberts, who have been putting out hardcore anti religion bigotry for decades, now clutching pearls about something being anti ‘all other religions and worldviews’ is hilarious.

[Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_]

Are not clergy troubled? Do they not believe that their people deserve better than this? Where are the voices? These people wang on about ‘justice’ all the time? How are they pleading for it when it’s difficult!?

[Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_]

Though, fair play, I can understand why Sarah Mullally wouldn’t want to draw attention to an uninspiring and unpopular managerialist defending someone nonce-adjacent.

[Fergus Butler-Gallie @_F_B_G_]

This is easily the most morally sordid end to a government for years and yet our Bishops remain silent.

When Tory PMs fell- who, for the record I think were disgraceful incompetents but not Paedo adjacent- bishops yapped like chihuahuas. Now they are totally quiet. Why?

Forcing a freezing parish to rip out its new boilers (costing over £18,000) and then spend £60,000 on heat pumps so perfectly epitomises the contempt in which the national church holds the local church.

@_F_B_G_ Rural ministry

[RevTonyPears @Tonypears]

@_F_B_G_ Unless things have changed in total ministry you will probably spend Boxing Day fielding calls from couples who announced their engagements when back in the village for Christmas, and couldn’t wait to book the church and vicar.

BBC's prestige new history series resembles low budget US cable channel slop. Tabloid talking heads shitty CGI, endless bombastic computer game music, ad break recaps and TikTok historiography. Lots of us want to defend the BBC but they need to helo us by doing better than this.

Without fail the most autocratic clergy are the ones who go on most about how much they reject clericalism and how down to earth they are.

Not often you hear a more insincere or patronising parliamentary contribution than this from the appalling Baroness Chapman. Obviously the Government doesn't care about the Chagossians' views because they are ignoring all evidence about their overwhelming opposition to the treaty

The double speak, the deceit and the gaslighting which proponents of this bill seem willing to engage in to achieve their aims has a name: evil.

Everyone deserves a safe and secure home. I look forward to continuing to work with the local community to improve conditions for renters. (3/3)
