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

Remembering Julius Nyerere. Nyerere was a giant in the movement for African socialism. This is a great primer for those who don’t know much about him 👇 tni.org/en/article/bac…

If you accepted the science of climate change, you would understand why further development of fossil fuels in the North Sea is not compatible with reaching global net zero.

Is North Sea drilling panacea to oil crisis? Upsides tenuous: won’t lower prices,create lots of jobs or tax revenues; will create CO2+encourage other countries with much gas to burn it. Only makes sense if you ignore climate. Which makes it insane, really. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

NEW 🚨: Opening new fields like Rosebank and Jackdaw to make almost NO difference to UK's reliance on gas imports. This is not energy security.

Leaving aside the wisdom of boycotting a customer base, I’m not sure it’s smart to advertise that customers can substitute your branded parts for universal ones.

@jbendery We don’t have a Mass on Good Friday, but that would ruin a good story. However, at least it wouldn’t have exposed you as a tendentious know-nothing.

“Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel,” reads a Friday email that went out to employees across the Pentagon. A peeved employee passed it along.

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…

My view of the boomers, as a generation, is that they often hold commonsense positions that younger people have lost, especially on questions of biology, relationships, and discipline. In that respect, I think British boomers are often right to push back against some of the more outlandish ideological trends among the young. But at the same time, the political economy has been tilted in their favour for decades, and against younger people. Boomers have consistently backed parties that helped entrench that imbalance. On immigration, I respect their instinctive patriotism. But those same voters also supported parties that ignored the democratic wishes of large parts of the British public. So take this as a peace offering. On many issues, boomers speak more sense than younger generations, and that’s worth listening to. But there’s no getting around the fact that younger people have been left carrying the cost of decisions made over many decades. Some ground is going to have to be conceded.

@consumerofmonch @technopopulist Oh, thought they were lying, but “lesser of two evils” is the main voting pattern. Unless you can tell me there was a credible alternative vote.

@MarkCFDBailey I’m afraid your reasonableness isn’t going to cut through. I hope I’m wrong, though. The public finances need a massive reckoning.

Judge was Daniel Sternberg. Sternberg is a board member of the movement for Reform Judaism, which elects Rabbis for the Board of Deputies of British Jews. Reform Judaism’s website shows clear links to ‘Israel’. Sternberg previously dismissed a case against Tommy Robinson.

Two Palestine protest organisers were found guilty of breaking UK police restrictions after their arrest during a rally in London in January. Chris Nineham and Ben Jamal were found guilty of two counts of breaking the Public Order Act.

What? Your argument, such as it is, relies on the fantasy that the UK would have experienced growth rates at a rate totally outside modern patterns. As it is, they’ve pretty much matched the rEU. Brexit forced our rulers to rule. So far they’ve demonstrated they’re not up to much. We need better. We needed - and need - the stress test.

Extremely feeble “argument” - ignoring the massive economic and diplomatic damage Brexit has done to Britain. Covid vaccines are your clincher? Because of course they never got those in Europe. They’re all dead now. Such a tragedy.
Sebastian Payne@SebastianEPayne

Couldn't agree more with @CitySamuel today - I too was a reluctant Remainer, but everything that has happened since confirms we made the right decision to Leave. Exiting the EU is a prerequisite for any national revival thetimes.com/comment/column…

Anyone who refers to Jews or Israel as 'Zios' is literally using a term popularised by David Duke of the Ku Klux Klan. No surprise to see the Irish Left and the KKK finding common ground in Jew hatred. Aftdr all, Antifa are no different to the Klan.
