@DailyTPodcast Totally agree with Tim. The whole pile on on Arday has been grossly disproportionate. I understand Arday's decision to resign but it didn't have to come to that.
@MadsDavies@OSacrumCorIesu And rightly so! At the heart of the issue are theological questions about race and redemption and how these can be done in a practical way. These questions need to be approached from a 'Black Theology' perspective to move beyond seeing this issue as woke or virtue signaling

@spudsmonaghan12 'These Africans'!!? I ask myself why you Europeans fought your fellow Europeans for the scramble and colonisation of African countries.
@SuellaBraverman Do you pay your tithes to your local parish church, Suella? No! The ABC is indeed doing her job as one would expect. Yet, the Church of England is part of the global Christian community so her mission extends beyond the boundaries of this country. This is Christian leadership.
1/6 Actually Daniel, the CoE as an institution was far more complicit in enslavement than it was in abolition. Unlike the Quakers it never campaigned at an institutional level against the slave trade, although individual Anglicans led the campaign in Parliament & activists β¦
@Wulf_Q@benhabib6@ArchbishopSarah Think about it! Without the British-led transatlantic slave trade, there would have been no Africans selling their people to the slave trade. So the Archbishop is right that the Church repents and seeks justice for the legacy of the slave trade.
@benhabib6@ArchbishopSarah We know that Britain led the way in the abolition of the slave trade. Well done! But there is also need to repent for getting involved in the slave trade and committing atrocities in the name of the Empire. Abolition and repentance are not mutually exclusive
@w_frenchy@TeleFootball The England players have played Champions League, Euros, won league titles with their various clubs. And won games when they were behind. They are experienced. Was it the coach's decision that lost them the game? At this World Cup semis, they lost to a better team. That's all!
@Zonal_Marking Tuchel only brought on 1 extra defender in place of an attacker after 72 minutes. England still have their top players on the field but yet choked when Argentina pressed forward. This is not a problem about Tuchel's substitutions. It's England players choking on the night
@campbellclaret I understand England fans refuse to listen to Tuchel and why he did what he did. After the π³π΄ game he said the England team lacked quality. And he saw the same lack of quality on the ball against π¦π· even before he made the subs. We need to accept the truth about England
@Carra23 England drew with Ghana in this world cup and fought hard against Mexico. Are England really then better than Argentina and are thus world class team?
@DPJHodges Agree. That's the "passivity" in the England team that experts and coaches have talked about. There is something about the national team that make the players passive or freeze when they get into pressure situations like last night
