I think this is where its at for me. The jack on the plate will be a three way switch. The control-plate will be butterscotch blonde like the one above which is part of an old top.

Something new and uncomfortable is happening on parts of the British right. Religion is being rediscovered. Not as faith. As a political weapon. 1. Figures like Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick and Tommy Robinson are increasingly framing politics in civilisational terms. Christianity vs. something else, Britain as a religious identity under threat. 2. But this isn’t a revival of faith. It’s a repurposing of it. Christianity is being used less as a belief system and more as a cultural marker. A way of drawing lines around identity. 3. That matters because it is, at its core, selective. The language of “Christian values” appears most often in opposition to immigration, to Islam, to social change. It is rarely accompanied by any serious engagement with the actual religion itself. 4. Genuine faith is inconvenient. It asks for consistency, humility, moral discipline. Political rhetoric is not. It is flexible, opportunistic and used when useful. 5. Which is why the current trend feels less like Reform have found God and more like hypocrisy. Religion is being used as shorthand for belonging, not as a guide to conduct. 6. There is also a clear political incentive. Framing issues in civilisational or religious terms raises the stakes instantly. It turns policy debates into existential struggles, where compromise looks like surrender. The irony is obvious. Many of the loudest voices invoking Christianity are not known for deep religious observance. The appeal isn’t theological. It’s tribal. 7. And that has consequences. Once politics is framed in these terms, it becomes harder to have serious discussions about policy such as migration, integration and housing because everything is recast as identity conflict. It also risks degrading religion itself. When faith becomes a political prop, it loses credibility as a moral force. Religion has always had a place in British public life. But there is a difference between faith shaping politics and politics exploiting faith. What we are seeing now looks much more like the latter.

@DamianLow3 Arguably, the most important Christian principles as taught by Jesus were impartial love of neighbour/enemy (agape), spontaneous compassion for others (splanchnizomai), and the sharing of material resources (koinonia). The far-right are about the opposite: hatred and division.

@DamianLow3 @Jharrison22 This Reform position is just a cheap copy of far right “Christian” (white) nationalism from the USA. At least the MAGA zealots in the USA attend church and live their beliefs. It’s just nonsense in the U.K, I bet few of the Reform “Christians” even attend church on Sundays!

Just popped in #Waitrose. In the queue, over 70s with their trolleys each with a copy of either the Daily Mail or the Telegraph. This is one reason why Reform has done well. 2 tabloids that aggressively promote the far-right. Depressing.

@amuse Did the "reign of the English over their island" start in the 11th century? Are you confusing them with Normans? Did anyone tell the Scots at the time? While we're all praying, shall we request a cure for whatever is wrong with your brain?

UK: The 1,000 year reign of the English over their island is coming to a close. They were never asked if they wanted to turn their nation over to Islamic migrants - that decision was made for them. The survivors will eventually flee - pray for them.

@FraserNelson Those who claim they feel dominated by seeing Muslims pray in public in a large congregation only goes to show weak they are I their own culture and beliefs.

Bishop of Willesden on the Iftar : "The public iftar in Trafalgar Square was not an act of cultural imposition, nor a signal of division. It was, rather, a moment of hospitality: an invitation to share in the breaking of the fast during Ramadan, extended by one community to the wider public. It was open, generous and peaceful. It reflected something profoundly British; the instinct to gather, to mark significant moments together, and to make space in our common life for the traditions that shape our neighbours. "To suggest that such an event is somehow threatening risks misunderstanding both the nature of religious expression and the character of our national life. Religious freedom in this country has never meant the privatisation of belief. It has meant the opposite: the right of individuals and communities to live out their faith openly, visibly and without fear. That principle applies as much to Muslims observing Ramadan as it does to Christians celebrating Easter, Jews marking Passover, Hindus celebrating Diwali, or Sikhs observing Vaisakhi." churchofengland.org/media/news-and…

So far, Christian leaders have been absent from a debate, led by politicians, about the place of faith in public life. So good to see the Bishop of Kirkstall give his perspective.

@RaggedTP Do you understand any difference at all between the words "Jewish" and "Zionist"? It seems not. And yet I am one of many thousands of Jewish people who are passionately anti-Zionist - & I oppose the capitalist system & all its nationalisms. You should re-read Tressell, mate!

Conservative MP Nick Timothy referring to Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square as 'an act of dominance' is akin to how the Nazis spoke about the Jewish community. It is utterly unacceptable. This open season of Muslim hatred must be condemned by all. End of.

This was Trump's immediate response today after learning that a former director of the FBI had died. It seems there is no depth to which this depraved man will not sink.
