Game's gone. VAR has killed it.

@P_G_Anderson I hope he listens now. Today he has basked in the glory of the PLP, but this Coronation might not sit well with a disenchanted electorate, especially if he is similarly constrained by geopolitics and systemic factors.

@post_liberal Never seen a bad footballing judgement from you.

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

@BruvverEccles Perhaps even the tongue in cheek poster. 🙄

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

The Church of England will never halt the decline until it stops the following:

1. Making Churchwarden two words
2. Revd Christian Name

@P_G_Anderson If I was a pedant I would say you were not a pendant.

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

Great sermon tonight from @simonjveardley at evensong, challenging us with the five 'demons' of today.

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

Point four of my strategy: If the Church of England were to fail, it would still be found in this parish. (q.v. Keble).

It’s just a constant round of things seemingly designed to discourage anyone with a heart, a soul or a brain from staying. All of which makes me more determined to never leave and be as awkward as possible.

Thanks to @Docstockk for this considered, thoroughly learned, and yet accessible book. A demolition job on the dystopian future that is being proposed to us. Keep raging.

@northumbriana According to the commentators the whole game was a brilliant advertisement for the Premier League! I thought it showed that the standard of refereeing is appalling and VAR is a complete dog's dinner and should be scrapped. I'm trying to think when I was that mad watching footy.

@waitrose we bought a @CharlieBighams curry from your Chester store. The chicken was inedible. Should I bring the receipt into store for a refund?

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

@WalkerMarcus He literally gave you a free advertisement in his podcast!

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

@holland_tom if you're going to Wirral you should come to Chester: Roman fort, Æthelflæd' burh, King Edgar's Council, medieval shrine, (almost) complete city walls, castle, Civil War siege, Victorian architecture ... puts Chatham High St in a cocked hat! @dcsandbrook

@skytv why isn't @ITVX working? It goes into the app but then goes to a black screen when you click on the programme.

@chesterzoo I tried to answer your diversity survey which I received via email. The link doesn't work.

@militaryhistori @Taff_Gillingham @RevdPye @churchill_alex @sommecourt I had four in my last church, Great Sutton. You can see the extent of them on this incredible research project https://t.co/VNRTvlo1e5

@Dwuddy @ChesterArchSoc @DrThomasPickles @DrKAWilson Oooo, just about to order!

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

An evening of farewell and thanks to the Lord Mayor of Chester, and a look round the Lord Mayor's Parlour. A portrait of a Sheriff who had 26 children, and @holland_tom book on Aethelflaed.

[Antony Dutton @antSJD]

I suspect this will appeal more to @holland_tom and not the rational @dcsandbrook but ... King Harold did not die! He escaped to live as a hermit, here in Chester! And if you doubt it, someone even saw his ghost which spoke in Anglo-Saxon! @TheRestHistory https://t.co/Qq0wDXwblY
