@weepygirlll @javfc5 @jeremycorbyn Then how do you explain JK Rowling? Raw talent earned her fortune. No one exploited!
English
@javfc5 @jeremycorbyn Actually these billionaires have made it impossible to ever gain their wealth without exploiting people, Joel. It’s not physically possible to have their sum of wealth and assets WITHOUT exploiting the working class and being lazy. People are poor because the rich want more
English
There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.
Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before.
I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

Pastor Tim has been on the phone to Overseer William. Apparently Synod is going "BRILLIANTLY" in that everyone has forgotten about LLF in all the excitment of safeguarding.
Pastor Tim does an excited little jiggle dance in his office that the gays still haven't won.

@StarofBethel1 How does Penny stand it?! Why did she marry him?! Please tell us the backstory!
English
"Penny, my theology says that Jesus brought a new covenant, with Paul, & that means the Old Testament is unimportant."
"Well, Tim, that's not what Martin Luther said. Or Nicky Gumbel for that matter."
"Remind me who Martin Luther is again. Does he pastor an American megachurch?"
English
@StarofBethel1 I need to know how on EARTH Penny ended up marrying Tim!! Shortage of evangelical men? Who her father would approve of? Etc….. the backstory needs to be written!
English
"Penny?"
Yes Tim?"
"I'm wondering...."
[dies inside] "What about, darling?"
"Do you think the Iwerne generation are a bit, well, sexually repressed? You know all those lectures on how dangerous girls are. Were they wrong?"
"At last!"
"At last, what?"
"Nothing"
Poor Penny.

@thespearing Bible warriors are all in the OT and so not Christians. Pre-Jesus! Genuinely don’t understand.

@FraserNelson Who were the speakers (apart from David Goodhart and Catriona)? Beautiful service.
English
The memorial service for Jeremy Clarke, attended by 600 readers, is now online. Worth watching for Catriona’s beautiful, moving tribute. youtube.com/live/8gOSbeTkx…

@Dannythefink I think attitudes to judges, lawyers and the law are becoming a serious problem in the Conservative party.

By the way, his assumption is that the high court was part of the “people” but the appeal court part of the “blob”. What is his theory on how that happened? Maybe it’s the other way round, and the high court was the blob. What absurd language.
Sir Jake Berry@JakeBerry
Your elected parliament voted for the Rwanda Policy - the establishment blocked it. Who’s in charge - the voters or the blob? #blobonomics #Rwanda

@rehanaparv To be fair some reports are calling this a grooming gang too. But everything else you say is absolutely spot on. I don’t think we know how they did it yet do we - the context? Please god they are not foster carers or nursery staff…. And under 12 year olds. How COULD anyone…?
English
birminghammail.co.uk/black-country/… why is this not referred to as a ‘grooming gang’? And why is their whiteness, their culture, religious background etc all irrelevant to their disgusting crimes? I’m sure if these were men of Pakistani heritage all of this would be relevant to attack us all

@Miss_Snuffy So many teachers actually do the ‘tutoring’ unpaid, with extra classes and support after school. We thank you for it!!
English
I wish I could know the number of parents whose kids got 7s to 9s in their GCSEs and they never hired a tutor.
I want to know how many kids we teachers get to that level without outside help.
English
@rehanaparv We may have had this convo before… but: R’s friend M (the one you also know) - her Dad has a photo of him and his dad and Malcolm from that visit to Brum. He has told me about it. Worth following up!
English
I would like to know more about his visit to University of Birmingham. Does anyone know much about this visit or is there a recording of this lecture anywhere?
What a loss to our Ummah Brother Malcolm is. Pray that he is in far better place now & that one day I get to meet him!
Taj Ali@Taj_Ali1
Malcolm X returned to Britain in February 1965, less than a fortnight before he was murdered. He lectured at the London School of Economics and the University of Birmingham. He dined at the Chamon Indian restaurant in Birmingham with local Muslim students following a lecture.

Always love the fact that Ron and Tiger will prefer out of love to squash together in a too-small basket than take advantage of the free one only two feet away.

@Sathnam here’s your book in unitybooks.nz - found it on recent holiday there. And yes it was me who put it facing outwards- we yamyams have to look out for each other.
English
Utterly unhinged. This level of venom/incitement should be a handled by a criminal court.
English
Name a word that only a British person would use.
English
“The monarchy as an institution needs sufficient private resources to enable it to continue to perform its traditional role in national life.” …..I think we have very different meanings of ‘sufficient’. And all this in a cost of living crisis 🤦♀️

@rmc43 I agree about the cancelled opps. No idea what they think they will achieve other than more deaths.
