@RestIsPolitics I suspect you have had many replies, but as an ordained priest in the Church of England @DavidDavisMP is just wrong. No priest is allowed to marry same sex couples, even if many of us would wish to. And the same goes for Catholic and Orthodox priests.
@alexdjfrost I stood in the General Election for the Green Party just before being ordained in 2017, and again this year. But, it’s because I’m no longer the vicar, and unlikely to be in the future. I think strong party allegiance could be a barrier when someone needs pastoral care.
@restisents
You’ve done analysis of the commercials of films & TV. What about podcasts?
Huge growth in recent years, not least by Goalhanger.
Is this still investing in getting market share, or are there genuinely profitable podcasts / production companies?
@TheSquareBall as a genuine priest and former vicar I can confirm that Joseph was very much part of the Easter story as Joseph of Aramathea was given Jesus body to care for.
On a separate note is there a correlation between our promotions and Liverpool titles?
@TazkerV2 Was in a corporate box. Obliged to stay to the end including the cup presentation. Got on the tube surrounded by celebrating Villa fans. Wretched day.
@sjhoneywell@BBCRadioLincs@BBCSounds Sitting in a cinema watching Natural Born Killers. Not enjoying it, and realised The Graduate was just starting on the telly. Walked out, went home, made a cup of tea and started watching a much better movie.
@AlanScantlebury One of the reasons I left Labour and joined the Greens.
I remember in 2010 being appalled at Labour MPs being re-elected who had switched their homes to save tax, and being delighted by Caroline’s win in Brighton.
14 years on I’m standing in the General Election as a Green
@ChrisJhojacob I’m just appalled by som much of the Church of England at the moment. It seems to have lost all sense of the Gospel.
Blessings and prayers for you brother and the vast majority of priests I know will be equally appalled
@Ord_Off Last year I carried on being a vicar (alongside a full-time job) longer than I should have.
Am recovering now, 5 months down the line it feels like recovery from trauma.
God gave us seasons for a reason.
Look after yourself
@GraceREThomas 1) the flaws in democracy
2) pub quizzes I have won
3) why I would like to be more like Josh Lymon, but have to accept I am Toby Ziegler
4) songs I have seen performed live
5) how ssm incumbentship with a full time job will slowly destroy you.
@pantsdanny As a recipient DPD seems to give me a lot more confidence than Evri, Yodel and others, although I would have Parcel Force as pretty good. Hope you get it sorted MOT
