Catholic. Depressed since 1536. Seething since 1688. But.....Dum spiro spero. Politics? Disraeli advised by Ernest Bevin. A Reactionary. Damn the Whigs.

@FaveatFortuna @holysmoke I would prefer that we sinners didn't sit in (negative) judgement. Banderas has, quite publicly, involved himself in Catholic activities, festivals and processions in the last few years. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

@FaveatFortuna @holysmoke How do you know that he hasn't confessed?

St Andrew Wouters, self-acknowledged womaniser and libertine. whilst a priest.

@FaveatFortuna @holysmoke "Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future."

@TonyDowson5 I check in on him occasionally for when I want to know what Westminster Brain is thinking. He has no insights, but he is the essence of the SW1 consensus.

I mean, Singapore is very efficient and safe, but it can be stultifying in its uniformity. Great for three years in your twenties. Older than that, you have to love the slightly Stepford quality of the suburban life. If you like golf, you’re in. If you like some variety, not so much.

@Codie_Sanchez Have you ever bought dinner/a drink/ coffee for anyone?

@streetwiseprof Access never denied; no thanks to the Biden administration which pushed the sell-out.
Now let’s talk about Suez, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lend/Lease - who of your other allies paid it off in full? - etc., etc.
Whiners. Please. Don’t judge a nation by its politicians.

@streetwiseprof Who do you think has been more perfidious, us or you USians? Examples would be nice.

@hf_222222 How about Popes not doing airborne press conferences? They haven’t a great record.

@KeithWoodsYT @42ozSteelie Eh?

See me after school.

@dilanesper Swear all you like, but you’re wrong.
