@mjmorizio @TheEudaimonist In what?

@TheEudaimonist “This is one of the most crucial definitions for the whole of Christianity; that the opposite of sin is not virtue, but faith.” Soren K.

G.K. Chesterton was right when he wrote that the problem with the modern world is not that it is evil but that it is “far too good.” The real danger facing a society that has cast off its religious moorings, he says, is not just that the vices are let loose, but that the virtues, cut off from the ultimate principle to which they should be oriented, become distorted and destructive in their own right. “The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone. Thus some scientists care for truth; and their truth is pitiless. Thus some humanitarians only care for pity; and their pity (I am sorry to say) is often untruthful.” What Chesterton identified at the start of the 20th century is even more acute now. The impulse of Western liberalism has become to maximise empathy, compassion, and equality, without properly tempering these virtues with others like wisdom and forgiveness. Equally, the doctrine of individualism and individual worth inherited from Christianity has become detached from humility, temperance, and a sense of communal responsibility. Aristotle was one of the first to recognise that the virtues are reciprocal, that in order to truly possess a single virtue, one must necessarily possess all of the other virtues. But this is not possible unless there’s an overriding schema— an ultimate value— that serves as a guiding principle for aligning these virtues. Without this ultimate value, the virtues push and pull against each other in a constant struggle for dominance, leading to a fragmented and incoherent moral landscape that degrades, rather than uplifts society.

@ReemAmirIbrahim And fairly?

@ReemAmirIbrahim Follow the money, as always...who funds you?

@BellaWallerstei Dinosaurs

We need to give young people a reason to vote Conservative again in London. That means focusing on investment, homes, infrastructure, families and growth. It’s incredibly frustrating we don’t have a positive vision to sell. My thoughts on the local elections 👇

@hoffman_noa Not the smartest or nicest guy

Monty Panesar who is standing for George Galloway’s party tells me he wants: - to scrap ulez - illegal migrant crackdown and tougher border control - a referendum on net zero - says he “doesn’t understand” Nato or Gaza and leaves that to George

@IsabelOakeshott Ghoul

I want to know ALL about the person who murdered a 13 year old boy with a Samurai sword today. Public deserve to know who he is; where he's come from (UK born and raised or otherwise) and how he came to carry out this heinous act.

@NathenAmin @greg_jenner Agreed..in a way that was the point...show about nothing... For me Arrested Development is top 3

@greg_jenner Easily one of the greatest multi-season sitcoms ever made, definitely fights with Scrubs and US Office for me in top 3, but he's chatting some nonsense here to be fair. Seinfeld was always 'safe' in content, then and now.

@Ship_happenns @benhabib6 @SadiqKhan Like what?

Delighted to see @SadiqKhan has resigned.

@FatPatty100 @Gof1957 @oxfordtoafrica @benhabib6 @SadiqKhan Ooh .. you're smart...

@Gof1957 @oxfordtoafrica @benhabib6 @bed4266 @SadiqKhan Technically his race isn’t white so can’t be racist. Can’t just assume someone’s race because their name’s Ben. Shame on you ❌

@benhabib6 @SadiqKhan Good grief.. could you sink lower? Racist much? All look alike to you lot, eh?

@KateAndrs Seems to work well in France

Support for renationalising rail / water tends to stem from the idea that politicians will be more likely to invest in these areas than chief executives. It's almost certainly not the case. spectator.co.uk/article/labour…

@Nigel_Farage Like the potato famine, eh? "Always blame the British". Brain disengaged again?

The Irish people have been protesting about mass immigration, so now the Irish government is attempting to blame the Rwanda plan. They always blame the British!

@rakibehsan Why pick colour? Identity stuff eh?

Wonderful to see Black African-heritage English patriotism being promoted by the BBC. Born in London to Zimbabwean parents, 25-year-old Rachel Chinouriri talks about the St. George's Cross - which features prominently on the cover of her debut album. bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…

@cjsnowdon Cancel it..no one should have free speech

I only became aware of the NHS Confederation in 2021 when they said we should go into lockdown over the Omicron variant. Why do they even have a view on immigration policy?

@ReemAmirIbrahim @LozzaFox Clickbait.. brainless

@Nigel_Farage You're a ghoul

Despite 5 people sadly dying this morning, these pictures show the French Navy escorting illegal dinghy crossings just a few hours later. They are aiding the criminal gangs. We must stop accepting these boats.

Hi @Mike_CBromford I'm a friend of John W's could you DM me so he can ask you something please. All will become clear

@Bradninchfellow @worstall I thought you were talking about present day richness of UK.. How they got where they were Anyhow, tedious if you don't know British history...look up how England raped India, richest country then. Then African rape of materials etc. As did sp, belg, Fr etc.. elsewhere.

@TonyVasir @worstall Tell me when you have looked up the history of Spain.

Everywhere had slavery. A few places got rich. Slavery cannot be the cause of getting rich.

@BellaWallerstei Be careful, as you said before its a no go zone and you were never going there

@Bradninchfellow @worstall Oh...ok then... Twitter is just right fer you

@TonyVasir @worstall No, why?
