Probably! And I would think most Gazans are more concerned to find the bodies of their own relatives. Very reasonably.

Given the quality of literacy and grammar skills evidenced on social media, may we expect an expulsion of native born brits who don't have a clue about apostrophes or homonyms?

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

I'm thankful that polio inoculation was available in my childhood. People forget how much harm these 'childhood ' infections did.

Having had all three as a child, I would remind people that each of them was a) very dangerous with potential life-threatening complications; b) made you feel very ill and needed a lot of gentle parenting; and c) meant we missed 2 weeks of education each time. Go get jabbed!!

Yes and no. I think I'd marginally prefer the Tories as 2nd largest rather than Reform. I mean there's not a lot to choose, but...

I don't use it on the laptop, I download Oremus Almanac into my Google calendar, so don't know the answer to that.

Having said that, mine has updated now.

Agreed! Try Oremus Almanac which you can download free either as a spreadsheet or into an online calendar like Google or Apple calendar.

Had to pause and remind myself that 'ancienne' means 'former' and not 'ancient'.😃

Almighty and everlasting God, the only worker of great marvels, send down upon your servant Sarah, called to be Archbishop of Canterbury, and all who are committed to her care, the spirit of your saving grace, and that they may truly please you, pour upon them the continual dew of your blessing.

YouTube video by The God Cast with Fr Alex Frost Church Of England Priests discuss Tommy Robinson, Flags, Jesus. How Should the church respond?

Feeling very honoured to have contributed to the Godcast this week.

Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: In your mercy, provide for all those in Gaza and beyond who suffer from hunger and starvation, that they may be given both physical bread to nourish their bodies and heavenly bread to sustain their souls. By the power of your Spirit, bring a speedy end to this cruel war, the release of all captives, care for the sick and wounded, comfort for those who have lost loved-ones, and the opening of a pathway for a just and lasting peace here in the very homeland where your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, ministered during his earthly life; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

I would like this to go on the record now please. In a few years/decades when this is all over don't accuse Palestinians of leaving their homes in Gaza. Or there was a "war" and Israel won. This is a genocide and ethnic cleansing, just like what happened in 1948. Remember my words and teach them on

Because, of course, anything associated with the Orange Man is simply a pile of merde.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Many decades ago I worked in a Translation agency. Advertising slogans were a nightmare! So much scope for bloopers.

Is it just me, or is the KFC advert where a human is dunked into a river and comes up covered in batter remotely acceptable? Are we to understand that KFC endorses cannibalism? Creepy. #KFC

god, the feeding frenzy around Rayner is obnoxious. It looks pretty clear that she took and acted on advice in good faith that was given in good faith. Rules around trusts are complicated, FFS.

Quince paste in the making. We have an absolute glut this year. My kitchen is full of the beautiful perfume of Quinces, now preserved for the coming year.
