@micheal_olainn @GeorgePitcher @Baddiel @MelanieLatest I see no evidence in your timeline that you have anything to say about atrocities in the rest of the world -- e.g., IRGC executions of protesters -- so why on earth should I take your word about what you think most British Jews think?

@GeorgePitcher @Baddiel @MelanieLatest Why are you tagging the far-right commentator Melanie Phillips? She was literally cited in Anders Breivik’s manifesto

This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union.
I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith.
But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

We all know what open displays of ideological dominance mean.
There are history books filled with it and it’s consequences.

Ramadan is a time to raise awareness of Islam’s true values - love, peace and kindness. Tonight thousands of Londoners of all backgrounds came together in Trafalgar Square for a truly special @OpenIftar #Ramadan #Iftar🌙 ✨️

The likes of Augustine of Hippo & Thomas Aquinas developed the foundational Christian 'just war' theory. So does the war on Iran fall in this bracket too? ➡️ Here's @GeorgePitcher via @Christianitymag : premierchristianity.com/opinion/why-th…

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest reveals a disturbing hierarchy in British justice that protects money over vulnerable victims. It’s a grotesque inversion of the biblical principles upon which our law is founded, says Rev George Pitcher

@Escartefigue777 @janinedigi Too kind, Robert, but agreed in the first part. We should talk

@GeorgePitcher @janinedigi While it's an obvious truth that in writing as in other things you are always learning, there are people who seem to be brilliant from the off and I always think of @janinedigi in that group. And of course yourself @GeorgePitcher
