Once, England was widely thought of as 'the Dowry of Mary' - given to be her particular possession, and she our protector and defender. In 1381, at a time of political turmoil, King Richard II dedicated England to her. As today is her birthday... Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray

This sums it up perfectly. Imagine if our ancestors had said, "You know if society gets rid of slave-labour, serfdom, indentured servitude our meals might be a bit more expensive darling, better then keep them in their poor estate."

If said politicians are going to start “listening” (quote) then perhaps don’t switch off the comments section 👇🏻
We were given a huge gift by the British public of a huge majority. But now we are on 20% in the polls. We have to stop making mistakes and start listening. And we must be prepared for the fight of our lives against Farage.

This book feels like one last obnoxious death rattle of New Atheism. Building an identity out of the nonexistence of God was always a tricky project. The further attempt to fill the god-shaped whole with, essentially, the Lib Dem manifesto was doomed from day one.
I’m unlikely to read this but it strikes me as a little bit lame to write a whole book quite obviously trying to challenge Tom Holland’s _Dominion_ & then not even mention him by name.

Packing up my vestments and churchy bits in the vestry ready for new job. Such a weird stomach churning feeling after 17 years.

The irony is in the same interview Polanski he says that detaining terrorist supporters is "totalitarian" while arresting comedians is "proportionate."
"These are totally unacceptable tweets... I think it was proportionate to arrest him" Zack Polanski, Green Party Leader, on the arrest of comedy writer Graham Linehan at Heathrow airport on Monday. #Newsnight

From Georgians times onwards British political cartoons and memes remains surely the best.

And then when you finished reading this and want a plan of spiritual and practical action get the UK edition of The Benedict Option also by @roddreher (with a foreword by yours truly!) @HodderFaith
Dear British readers, if you are alarmed about the @glinner arrest -- and I see that @jk_rowling has erupted over it, quite rightly -- then I urge you to read the UK edition of my book LIVE NOT BY LIES. Advice from Soviet-era dissidents for us today. https://t.co/Bj0WuCjv2y

There a few choice lines from Father Ted that could easily capture this surreal travesty. @Glinner

The Consumer culture that tugs at my soul finds it hard to imagine a Jesus who is scary. “Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”
