      “The UK government wrote to the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace because the Church in Wales, which currently does not have a senior bishop since the last Archbishop retired, is part of the Anglican Communion.”

      She’s the Bishop of St Davids
      That’s in the Tory-held Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency
      In another tweet she criticised people voting for the Conservatives.

      Many Bishops criticised her, yet the hatey lefties have piled into the BBC’s thread saying “but it’s true Never Trust A Tory”

        When the Church gets involved in politics we can be assured that they no longer represent to people just the UNI they went to.

      The woke, lefty Anglican church hates the Tories. Who’d have guessed?

      That’s all 94 of them. Oops, one just died while I was writing – 93.

    My local BBC news had a long piece about the parents of a LGBT man stabbed and killed in a Reading park almost a year ago.

    Lots about how they are coping, how their son lived, their sons sense of humour, the summerhouse they built to remember him, the garden plants they have planted. Also mentioned the other 2 LGBT men killed that day.

    The piece was almost 5 minutes long but obviously not long enough for time to mention he was killed by a Muslim. I guess that is due to the usual “difficult editorial decisions”.

      It’s so bloody cold here in leafy Surrey I’m toying with the idea of putting the heating on.
      Close to mid summer’s day and I’m freezing!

    Not watching the England match out of duty. I hear that Scotland in solidarity have also taken the knee.

    Both teams deserve to lose.

    Biden is a disaster for the USA. He will go down in history as the most incompetent president the USA has ever had and all because he is a man not up to the job but supported by the worst enemies the USA has ever had.

    If the USA is unable to recover from this massive mistake I really fear for the future of their Country.

    Land of the brave, home of the free no more!

    It’s a frigging shit show now.

    I ask all Americans, are you happy with this freak?

    Digg,

    Unfortunately, “the worst enemies the USA has ever had” ARE Americans.

    As the cartoonist Walt Kelly once observed, “We have met the enemy and he is us” 😰🤬😱😨

      The USA are only a few years ahead of the UK in changing the demographic of their country through immigration and are now paying the price. It will come here in 5 or so years without doubt.

      The USA will end either in communism or civil war in the next ten years in my opinion.

    “The corporation is alleged to have been pushing to bar GB News from accessing footage of public events via a “pooling” system run by the country’s three main broadcasters.”

    ahh – “a “pooling” system” – wondered why they seem to follow the same script on everything.

    would like to know a bit more about this “pooling” system & how long it’s been going on ?
