"I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old." Neil, Lord Kinnock, 1983 He was right. But alas, what he warned about has come true: Parliament has delivered it.

I oppose this bill with every fibre of my being. I think it is weak, bad legislation. But, some of the comments directed towards the sponsor are vile. Disagree, yes. Disagree strongly, absolutely. But if you get in the gutter, it is a lack of humanity on a par with this bill.

Agh. I have broken my golden rule of not interacting with a particular account. I apologise - but there’s only so much misrepresentation I can put up with. #letthereaderunderstand

Ah, that feeling when you very carefully lay out liturgical resources - and then find someone re-does the layout, and screws them up... 😡

Had a lovely time talking to a conference organised by Ben Phillips - alas, I ended up online, rather than in person... (And no, that's not my van before anyone says.....) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
