@purdypols To be fair nobody ever said she was?

Stella is not a deep thinker clearly 😬

@JamesWHankins1 1534 to be exact

That was certainly Henry VIII’s view.

@NewbieSlt @McivorJaymey @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Not this again…

@McivorJaymey @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Dude, Easter wasn’t even originally a Christian festival. Easter is named after Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of springtime and the dawn. Do your homework! Thanks x

Any chance I can get an Easter Egg please M&S? Will they ever learn 🙈 It’s like they do it on purpose to offend. Easter is not National Chocolate Day. Which extremists are you trying hard to not offend? @marksandspencer @GBNEWS

@darrengrimes Practicing for an election when instead of being elected he wins a wooden spoon?

You can tell he’s a Green activist because he’s dressed like a high-speed collision in a comprehensive school art department. Would you answer the door?

@DermotKearney3 @How86917508 @Tellxmetrue @MaryTracy1101 @Sandollar89 And it won’t stop there in all probability as they will keep pushing until they reach their objectives

@How86917508 @Tellxmetrue @MaryTracy1101 @Sandollar89 You obviously do not understand the implications of the passage of the latest Bill, once Royal Assent is obtained. The Abortion Act of 1967 will be amended, yet again, to facilitate the further liberalisation of abortion law.

Simple reminder: abortion is murder. All abortionists are murderers and liars. All who support and promote abortion are in league with murderers and liars. These facts need to be acknowledged.

@garydench @nicksadler62 We used to have oratory in the Commons. Now its extremely rare

@nicksadler62 If you want to see something very depressing, have a look on YouTube and compare the quality of the exchange at Prime Minister's Questions from 30 years ago to today.

The bizarre double-think of some of our politicians is both shocking and terrifying. If you're Ed Davey, Stella Creasy or the PM, one of these should be celebrated, and the other arrested.

@BareReality Hermer-tage after Lord Hermer (he’s very popular with the govt.)

Shariaville or Stabbington?

@peterlynas Hypocrisy is quite common in the House of Commons

Tim Stanley is spot on about the hypocrisy. Either prayer in public is fine or it isn’t🤦‍♂️

@SwisherYard @MichaelPTKelly There have been many archbishops of Canterbury as we all know. Since 1558 there have been no Catholic ones.

@TimGuile @MichaelPTKelly I know the history. You haven’t explained why you’re interpreting that history differently than most other people. Have there been 105 Archbishops of Canterbury before Dame Mullally, or not? Yes or no? It’s a simple question.

Oh, dear - history lesson needed here. “The first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the entire 1,400-year history of the job” - Anglicanism has only been a thing for 500 years.

@darrengrimes Is he seeking political asylum?

Jeremy Corbyn has gone to Cuba to show solidarity with the vile communist regime. Is he ever focused on domestic issues?

@itsjohncrotty @theiaincameron David Attenborough does though

Ireland does not accept the term British Isles - so why use it? Ireland is not British and never has been. Its all-island identity far predates the concept, not to mention it was an Island long before Britain was A neighbourly gesture would be to agree a term, not to enforce one We don’t need further division

Here is a clear and jargon-free (coughs) description of the differences between, Britain, Great Britain, the U.K., Ireland, and the British Isles. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇮🇪 Scotland, England, and Wales make up Britain (or Great Britain). This is the larger of the two islands. The United Kingdom (UK) is Britain and a country of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland) together. Ireland is, as we have said, the other island. But Ireland itself is made up of two countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This odd situation is compounded by a good many Northern Ireland residents who insist on calling themselves British. (We’ll leave the politics of that out of this post…) Both the islands of Ireland and Britain combined are called the British Isles in a geographic sense. But this framing is contested by many Irish residents, who dislike the term British, for exactly the same reason that some Northern Irish folk love it. Following so far? Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all have individual national soccer teams. In rugby, however, Ireland play as one team. Confused? It gets worse. At the Olympics, athletes from Northern Ireland can represent Team Ireland or Team Great Britain (there is no U.K. Olympic team). Oh, and let us not forget the Isle of Man. Despite being slap-bang in the middle of Northern Ireland and Great Britain, it doesn’t form part of the U.K., but it is in the British Isles. Happy to have cleared all that up.

@SwisherYard @MichaelPTKelly echa.org.uk

@TimGuile @MichaelPTKelly So? No-one disputes that. Doesn’t change the fact that there were archbishops of Canterbury before and after the reformation

@BruvverEccles @bishopSarahM Non Angli sed angeli- translation: not angels but Anglicans

Some more information from Bede. In AD 634 there were Archbishops of Canterbury and York. Pope Honorius gave instructions that if one was to die (they never retired!) the other should appoint his successor. Very timely given that @bishopSarahM is in the news.

@TheGhostSleepi1 For several hundred years the state disapproved of Catholics who adhered to the faith of their ancestors.

"Freedom to worship is a fundamental British value" Why do people keep saying that this kind of tolerance is a British value, particularly for religion? Has nobody read British history? Britain has notoriously long been a place of religious intolerance.

@tcanham459 Blair Castle named after Tony Blair

St Alban's, named after Saint Alban Bury St Edmunds, named after King Edmund Alice Town, named after Princess Alice Dudley, named after the Saxon Dudda Port Talbot, named after the Talbot family Helen's Bay, named after Lady Dufferin I can go on

@nonregemesse Only the Catholic or Orthodox Church creates saints. Are you a member of either church by the way?

The church should canonise Alfred and he should be our patron saint

@SwisherYard @MichaelPTKelly echa.org.uk @EnglishCatholi2

@TimGuile @MichaelPTKelly So what? There was an Archbishop of Canterbury before 1534 and Anglicanism.

@ItsTaz1989 I heard it was Basingstoke?

St George was born in Slough, his favourite song was Three Lions, he would only ever drink draught beer, he never missed a QPR game and hated the Welsh flag.

@Frances_Coppola One sometimes wonders what some folk ever learned at school?

St George was a Palestinian who never set foot in England.
