@sitsio He wasn’t the greatest theologian of the twentieth century but he was a remarkable man, saintly, scholarly, forthright, humble, hugely intelligent, deeply read. He was a blessing to us all. I think it more proper to pray to him than for him though he would tell me otherwise.

@VivianBercovici All absolutely right and it is good not to rant and shout but I think you are just a bit too polite if you don’t mind me saying so. Teaching as pure indoctrination into the teacher’s self-righteous grubby mind- set is disgusting. There I have been impolite for you.

@AIAIreland You can call Israelis ('Zionists' if you prefer to spit it out) all manner of things but 'cowards' is patently ridiculous. A small nation surrounded by hostile larger ones keeps its end up heroically. Whereas Nasrallah took his big mouth into a deep bunker and met his end there.

@danielmgmoylan @UKLabour Starmer is not going to walk away without something to boast of but that means that he will give in. A dreadful mess. Milliband destroys the economy, Lammy destroys foreign relations, Starmer destroys the benefits of Brexit, Cooper censors and locks up those she disagrees with.

@ripx4nutmeg The far Left BBC sees anything which isn't far Left as far Right. This is necessary to preserve balance and show that it is impartial. The worst thing is that they believe it because they know nothing else and listen to no one who isn't Far Left.

@CrunchAlias An interesting argument with the unusual conclusion that gays are not homosexuals since the basis of their attraction is not sexual (genitals -based) but to those who superficially look like men. It is the look rather than the fact that drives it. How many gays would agree?

@Millhouserat She doesn’t. She asks for terminations. Euphemisms are always used like Final Solution, Reproductive Rights, and Terminal Illness. Long words usually apart from ‘foetus’ but that is Latinate. Always because the obvious words reveal too much and put people off.

@Zealot006 @makipilled It may well be cooked but I can't see the sense in 'fake' monarchy. The present dynasty has been here since 1714 and the roots are much older. It enjoys in most polls 80% approval. So it is hard to see it as fake. You may well not like it but misusing words undermines arguments.
