@MartThorn2024 I’m pro choice in these things - I have private medical care / GP. If Jewish / Muslim / Sikhs want to fund their own private care go for it.

I soft blocked a long term follower because she insisted I was antisemitic after this comment. I deleted the post afterwards but here it is for posterity.. I think the state should be secular and should be providing ambulances & security for all.

Can’t believe how much AI has become a “feature” of modern work. If nothing else it’s given everyone an ‘admin assistance’ but at worse I think it’s absolutely driven a hold on junior role recruitment (Given it’s a lot cheaper than employing a Grad/Apprentice).

This is all a bit bizarre tbh. I’ll accept the ‘where are the women’ comment, but how is this different from people joining in with public carol concerts? Or public prayer? Weird world.
Danny Kruger@danny__kruger

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

I stand by my previous Rugger Union tactic: replace 14 players with massive sumo guys and just have one half decent kicker. Just a moving wall with a chap who can drop the odd goal.

Some of my English mates in Chippenham sent a pic ahead of the France v England game. We used to fight them in the pubs, sometimes in very lively fashion, when I was a squaddie. Then we all ended up being buddies. Top lads. Come on England!

@JohnHundeslit Agree the argument is - more devolved to local areas… which we then gather from local taxes and such into a big void and you get what you get.

Nobody knows why petrol retailers have suddenly decided to become greedy. It's a complete mystery.

This is @Tesco Ollerton. At the beginning of the week diesel was 150p, hiked up from the previous week. At lunchtime today it was 154p. This afternoon 156.9p. Its just one of many. So all power to @RachelReevesMP to stop this blatant profiteering.

@ClaireWard4EM @Tesco @RachelReevesMP Do you think most of the problem perhaps is the price they pay has gone up as a result of a war in the area the product comes from??

Engineers Guide to Project Management: just incessantly keep inviting everyone into random Teams meetings to fill your diary. Has nobody twigged on that this is happening? I mean I have to respect the grift tbh.

@eng_dad Weirdly I found an Budenberg gauge in my shed from being an Apprentice. Always planned to turn it into a clock maybe a summer job.

Something that got ignored from the reasons your costs went up is "smart" meters. Infrastructure that has cost £M to design, make, install and operate. Where a mechanical meter can go on for, well, forever actually, we're being billed in our bills for a network we don't need.

@eng_dad Depends on what the objectives are. We’ve got quite different ones namely around leakage and encouraging use at different times. Because water demand is more predictable it’s much easier to offer incentives for say night time use (not suggesting showering at 2am 😂)

@DOK430 Not paying for guys to read meters and now offshore the benefit to a foreign country in both manufacturing and ongoing data storage is peak UK civilisation decline though isn't it?
