Is that weird to block my driveway like this?
I just moved into my new house over the weekend and I came down this morning to find this random white car had parked right in front of my drive way (the grey Hyundai is mine).
When the miserable old fart came to move it I popped out and politely asked him not to block my driveway but he was adamant that this is public property and anybody is allowed to park there.
So I’m curious, do you think this was a strange place to park or am I being overly protective? He’s clearly not stopping me from being able to get out if I needed to, it just seems a bit rude to me

@gerrylynch There are Muslims in prominent positions in Reform, after all.

In more "Twitter isn't real life" news, a prominent layperson in another part of my diocese shared this to her Facebook page. She's a public supporter (and I think a paid up member of many years' standing) of Reform UK and before that of UKIP...

@_F_B_G_ The person who devised it is a bigger psychopath.

I’m sorry but only a psychopath would apply for this job:

@pastoralfi @liambeadle If you don’t pass convincingly, then I’m sorry but that’s bad luck, because you’re going to make others feel uncomfortable. This would stop almost all the opportunistic pervs, because they don’t pass and have no interest in doing so.

@pastoralfi @liambeadle My personal, perhaps idiosyncratic, opinion is that trans people should use facilities appropriate to their identified sex ONLY if they pass convincingly—so if no-one would really guess you’re biologically male, into the ladies’ you go; and ditto trans men in the gents’.

@WalkerMarcus I’ve always been a big fan of Kemi—but she’s quite simply backing the wrong horse.
English
It’s a bit of both, surely? Her personal position is stronger, but he was a very effective communicator who had raised a whole host of issues well and was trusted by the right on the key question of the day.

Is Kemi Badenoch's position stronger after sacking @RobertJenrick?

@2D0XPS @FrenchAnglican I remember designing those magnets!

This and Roman Rite parishes in the CofE are two sides of the same coin. Discuss.

NEW: Congregationalism is being “silently endorsed” in the C of E, a new report warns, because the leaders of "New Things" are writing eucharistic texts for their communities without the theological support of the wider Church. churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2025/…

@FatManTerra @JDVance Yes, it’s vinyl stickers—believe it or not, they wouldn’t be allowed to deface the ancient stonework of the Cathedral permanently—but why make a beautiful and holy space look ugly even temporarily? I grew up near Canterbury, and this is heartbreaking.
English
It is weird to me that these people don't see the irony of honoring "marginalized communities" by making a beautiful historical building really ugly.
Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@DrewPavlou
The Church of England decided this week to cover the interior of the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti in order to represent the voices of “marginalised communities.” The Very Rev David Monteith, Dean of Canterbury, said: “There is a rawness which is magnified by the graffiti style, which is disruptive. It is unfiltered and not sanitised.” “This exhibition intentionally builds bridges between cultures, styles and genres and allows us to receive the gifts of younger people who have much to say.” It’s actually stunning how much the elite of Britain hate their own culture and civilisation. You couldn’t even invent this as satire. They are literally scrawling graffiti on the walls of ancient cathedrals. Everything beautiful is just torn down and destroyed.

@liambeadle The generation Bishop Richard Chartres referred to as ‘Jasper’s children’. Most of them are dead now.

@CatholicHerald @gavinashenden I don’t understand why you’re doing this, Gavin. Do you really think it’s going to convince anyone?
English
The saints, the Eucharist and the sacrament of reconciliation make new Catholics shout for joy. For new Anglicans, it is hard to know what to say. ✍️ @GavinAshenden

@WalkerMarcus @PrudenceDailey Yes, because we are social creatures and we are interdependent, we are constantly a burden to one another in multiple ways we rarely stop to think about...
English
A lovely reflection by my friend @PrudenceDailey on the reality of caring for someone you love.
"But of course, being totally honest, there is a sense in which she is a burden. On the other hand, I was a burden to her when I was a premature baby who needed feeding every half hour night and day. We are meant to be burdens to one another—it’s the human condition."

"We are meant to be burdens to one another - it’s the human condition." Prudence Dailey, who cares for her mother full-time, shares her fears about the impact of an assisted dying Bill. Read more at cofe.io/ImpactAssisted….

@frstevenhilton @WalkerMarcus She is—despite dementia, she is still the best and most loving mother, and hasn’t lost her determination either.
English
@WalkerMarcus Yes, it’s vile—although I’m pretty sure the wax seals have been plastic for a while. I hope when they are restored they will be actual wax again.
English
This government is just loathsome. On the one hand this is a small thing, on the other hand it is so indicative of a mindset that loathes its own country and history. I just hope there is a properly reactionary government soon that reverses every decision of 2024-9.
Kate Ferguson@kateferguson4
EXCL: Government will stop using wax seals on official documents. Seals were first used by Kings 1,000 years ago and have been used by the Govt for 150 years. It will be scrapped as part of red tape slashing drive to speed up govt for taxpayers Fab story by @SophiaSleigh

@noah_nonsense I’m not sure I understand this. ‘Appoint’ in what capacity?
English
@PrudenceDailey So now the state will only appoint those who endorse it.
We have been here twice before.

So good that the Church of England—in contrast to some other Anglican Provinces—maintains its clear and consistent opposition to assisted suicide. The few dissenters are a TINY minority.
English
@Psephizo I don’t understand why some liberals think we all suddenly changed our minds for some reason. It’s not very credible, is it?
English
Charlie Bell is being economical with the truth here. The reason why the *amended* motion had near universal support was precisely because it did *not* indicate any such change. The doctrine, canons, and vows and thus obligations remain unchanged.

@AcceptableToad @Miss_Snuffy Why would she care when she’s not a race-baiter?
English
@Miss_Snuffy Are you comfortable facing the fact that most great literature has been written by White people?
English
Get the discipline, the teaching, and the values right and this is what you get. 👇🏽
A text from one of my teachers just now.
It IS possible for kids of all ethnicities to love great literature and for it to be part of their souls.
English
@WalkerMarcus @_F_B_G_ Would you like me to put you in touch with the Vicar of St Michael at the North Gate?
Also, I’m not sure you CAN leave LLF at the door, sadly. At least, you need to ask the question as to WHETHER OR NOT views on sexuality are relevant to the revival. (I don’t know the answer.)
English
So, in short, drop me or @_F_B_G_ a DM or post underneath and let's see what kind of a Coalition of the Willing we can form up!
English
This quiet revival... who has seen hints of it? I'm very concerned the CofE is going to miss the boat - I've seen almost no analysis of it or commentary from senior church figures.
So... @_F_B_G_ and I would like to get off our backsides and do something!
