@_F_B_G_ @Andy_Coates On 1642 and what followed I believe that it was right that the king should have lost the war & equally right that the monarchy was restored in 1660. Cromwell had the ability to be a Napoleon. Thankfully did not live long enough.

@_F_B_G_ @Andy_Coates I didn't get beyond the headline in The G. I must get back and read the editorial. The response you speak of is one that I encounter time and again in my ministry of occasional offices. At some stage I trust it will bear fruit but I have no idea in what way.

@playinglesshurt It's OK to do that at the Proms in London's Royal Albert Hall!

@alas_not_me And I enjoyed your ironic remark about singing a song about Elrond's Dad in Elrond's presence.

It’s a brilliant article but no one has yet talked about the fact that spending money on the arts generates a HUGE amount of income for the treasury! Even if ministers tragically couldn’t care less about the arts, the income argument is language that they do understand

We know it’s possible to give refugees safe passage – we did it with Ukrainian refugees. Will you stand with refugees and demand safe passage for people who want to claim asylum in the UK?

@andrewswalks She sounds like a super-mother to me. And how wise of her to choose your pond to raise her brood. Do you know how many survived until winter?

And Christ makes the most sudden shift of all;
From swift action as a strong Messiah
Casting the very demons back to hell
To slow pain, and death as a pariah.

People who have escaped from the worst terrors in the world should not be risking their lives once again to claim asylum in the UK.

Agree? Add your name now.
