@thetimes Actually, the Catholic Church still allow it, but special dispensation is needed. It’s usually applied for traveller families and other cultures.
The Catholic Church banned the practice centuries ago. To stem disease and crime, we need to do it again | ✍️ Matthew Syed

@pollytoynbee@guardian Can you direct me to any articles that explicitly criticise/refer to Judaism as I cannot find any on the Guardian website going back 25 years. Since it’s also Hanukkah, I thought you might like to write a similar article on the festival of light theme.
@TextusRoffensis@guardian I include all religions as dangerous when powerful. But my column today is about Christmas and Christians. Humanists, with Voltaire, defend to the death the rights of all to believe whatever they want but defy those imposing beliefs on others, including children

I feel quite down (personally & professionally) about tougher restrictions announced this afternoon but I also understand why this has happened. Our local hospitals have reached capacity, the virus & it's new variant is rife in our community. Focus must be on vaccine roll out.
@tracey_crouch Lockdowns and tiers do not and will not work. The Government says they are following the science. Time to listen to some other scientists instead of the groupthink at SAGE. @carlheneghan@gbdeclaration@SunetraGupta out of interest, have you looked at these opposing views?
POTUS @realDonaldTrump just called me from the motorcade and said he passed thousands of Great American Patriots with their American Flags and Trump Flags, just outside the White House, here in Washington, D.C. — he couldn’t believe it! THANK YOU, PATRIOTS!!
TONIGHT: As Dominic Cummings departs from No 10, we speak to pundits, politicians and diplomats to discuss what it means for government and the Conservative Party.

@andrewgiarelli Jesus Christ what is wrong with you people.
Trump is a fierce believer in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Show us where the restrictions on free speech or the mass incarcerations are with everything that has been said and done against him.
You cannot because none exist.
Is Trump stealing a page from the old eastern European Communist playbook? My latest commentary for The Slovak Spectator -- premium content, but the opening is visible and 4 euros gets you 4 weeks of news and features from spectacular Slovakia!

Trump press conference 9pm UK. Arizona and Georgia have been confirmed today as #biden wins. Will DJT use this opportunity to concede ? #PresidentialElection2020
@JimMFelton He couldn’t go quietly into the night could he? He has to make a grand gesture to prove how important he was. Should have left by the back door when the rubbish was taken out. #goodriddance
