@0xxSolace@RusGarbageHuman Black ethnic groups (mostly Black African and Black Caribbean) and Pakistani/Bangladeshi ethnic groups show disproportionate rates relative to their population shares.
@0xxSolace@Mufcjay92_7@RusGarbageHuman Entire modern ethnic groups are not morally responsible for historical empires. “the white man robbed India” is racially generalising, because it assigns actions and moral blame to a broad racial category (“white man”) rather than specific historical actors or institutions.
@0xxSolace@Mufcjay92_7@RusGarbageHuman Britain's post-war recovery was primarily carried out by the people already living in Britain, who were overwhelmingly white British and Irish. Also, the vast majority of British people did not personally participate in governing or designing colonial policy in India.
And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. [1st Epistle of St John 5:20]

@aroundliv I understand that this is a sign of the rapid demographic change we are all seeing, but they're filling the churches because, as you said, our own people aren't attending. England needs to turn back to God.
@Georgiamar47827@aroundliv It's 45 minutes to an hour on a Sunday. And if you're Catholic you can actually go to a Saturday evening mass to fulfill the obligation of the Sunday Mass.
@Con_Tomlinson@iamjohnoliver It weakened large kinship clans. It encouraged people to marry outside their extended family. This wasn't unique to Britain, it affected much of Western Europe, but Britain was certainly included.
@Con_Tomlinson Actually, @iamjohnoliver, it's you who needs to brush up on British history. At one point, Western canon law prohibited marriage out to the seventh degree of kinship, that generally meant you could not marry anyone closer than about a second cousin.
@TruthFairy131@EoinTennyson Allowing unvetted migrants to move freely among us, often placed in already troubled communities, is, and it forces those communities to absorb preventable risk. That's a distinct governance failure that can and should be fixed.
@TruthFairy131 ‼️@EoinTennyson, this false equivalence is gaslighting. I don't condone violence or the riots in any way. Law abiding People have every right to be outraged by the barbaric, preventable attack on Stephen Ogilvie. Home-grown crime isn't a policy choice we can control at the border
‘9 years on, the police have arrested a man…’
Have we finally found out the identity of the 'Putney pusher'?

@Hoary_Mattekar@SaP011 Jesus drove the money changers from the Temple, and He knew His disciples carried swords. He rebuked Peter for using one to stop the Crucifixion, not for possessing it. Christ condemned revenge and hatred, not legitimate defense or resisting injustice.
@Hoary_Mattekar@SaP011 "Turn the other cheek" means renounce revenge and personal retaliation. It does not mean abandoning prudence, justice, self-respect, self-defense, or the protection of others.
@Hoary_Mattekar@SaP011 Jesus Himself did not always respond passively. When struck during His trial, He did not strike back, but neither did He say, "hit me again." Instead, He said: "If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?" (John 18:23)
@Hoary_Mattekar@SaP011 Medieval Catholics certainly did not understand Christ's teaching as requiring Christians to sit passively while their families, cities, or countries were attacked.
