Magnificent.

Reminder that in 1981 Britain added a descant to the national anthem, turned it into the best national anthem in the world, and then just… forgot about the arrangement never to use it again

@dexterdalley @talkChristianly Thanks - point well made.

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@WalkerMarcus And yet the Church Commissioners are happy to hold over £10bn in assets.

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@dexterdalley @talkChristianly But have we ever *retained* doctrine while introducing provision for those who would like to see change in a way that seems to many to be contrary to doctrine? (This is a genuine question – I’d like to know if we have!) 2/2

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@dexterdalley @talkChristianly There are plenty of examples across the church of different practices that aren't contrary to doctrine. At times we've changed doctrine and made pastoral provision for those who can't agree. So far so good... 1/2

@elismatthews @nomadicrevery @elisjames @Masterman Adrian Chiles, do you think?

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@PhilRodgers @colwell_george @puzzleGen Thanks for organising, @PhilRodgers . Before I feel too pleased with myself are you able to confirm the number of entries in each category?

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@_Petit_Nicolas @PhilRodgers @colwell_george @puzzleGen Part-time priest, part time psephologist? That might be fun!

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@PhilRodgers @CambsPboroCA @NikJohnsonCA FPTP is a funny ol' system...

[Phil Rodgers @PhilRodgers]

Congratulations to @mdbigg who wins my prediction competition for Huntingdon

@PhilRodgers Looking forward to it!

@Matthew_J_Dent @FrDidymus A "feature" that I'd wager benefits big organised parties over smaller campaigns. Is that a feature or a bug?

Why don't the parties offer a service to voters that they'll ring up with a reminder on polling day? Opt-in. No-one gets hassled.

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@MaryOToole10 @Matthew_J_Dent @FrDidymus Useful for parties, rather than useful for voters. Would be interested if there are any stats on how often this system actually catches voters who are genuinely glad of the reminder.

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@MaryOToole10 @FrDidymus I get that, just don't see that it's any of the business of the parties who has voted or not. Come election day people should just be left to get on with it...

[Michael Bigg @mdbigg]

@johnelworthy Disappointing. Glad to hear that @MariannaMasters herself wasn't involved. She did OK in Girton!
