    You are missing the point entirely

    I am none the wiser now, than when you started really. With your last remark, not sure it really matters to be honest. If you’re a socialist that’s what counts. My neighbour told me he is into ornithology? At first I was like ffs, then I was worried it was something strange? I was relieved that he likes birds the feather variety. He’s a photographer, and does arty things around birds, he does exhibitions where he sells his work.
    I didn’t exactly waste my time entirely, as I have been on Twitter, liking the party tweets and making a few tweets in reply.

    I knew you’d say that.

    Let’s take thou shalt not kill. One of the 10 Commandments. This doesn’t stop the church from blessing warships, war planes, nuclear submarines or bombs. When fellow workers around the world are blown to bits by British bombs, at least god blessed them. When the Nazis bombed England no doubt their bombs were also blessed by god, so that’s alright then.
    Thou shall not steal. Unless you’re a capitalist who fills up thy churches coffers.
    A justification for people staving to death in excruciating agony, is that it’s the work of god.
    Someone who has cancer, who is suffering in unimaginable pain, that is also the work of god.
    But god is all seeing and healing?

    Thomas More: we can love church music.

    Not in a church. But some Gospel, dance music that is.

    Engels in his book, The Conditions of the Working class in England written in 1845.

    Religion played a big part in the wretched existence of the working class. Working 16 hours a day, 6 days a week. With one day off, gods day, Sunday. When they would wear their best clothes for church. When in church they were promised from the pulpit a better afterlife.

    A draft law is before the Danish parliament which will require all sermons to be translated and submitted to the state. It is ostensibly to identify radical Islamist imams in the mosques

    Curiously, the C of E (and others religious leaders) would prefer the stance taken by China? I don’t hear the C of E (or other religious denominations)speaking out against China in locking up 1.5 million Uighurs in prison camps?

    Read somewhere. America’s banks who were bailed out, have made $30bn in profits in bank charges from people financially ruined because of the pandemic! 😡

    Football fans might not be able to go and watch teams play in the grounds. But nothing changes it would seem. Especially when a team lose.

    Man Utd ‘disgusted’ at racial abuse sent to Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial
    ….We utterly condemn it and it is encouraging to see other fans condemn this on social media also…..

    Haven’t seen anything of the sort, annoyingly a Manchester United fan makes a post saying “abuse is endemic in society”…..clearly moving the goalposts (pun intended) no criticism of his own fans racist (he avoids actually saying racist) behaviour last night, whatsoever. Just lumps all clubs together and said this: “all clubs have a racist element”. Yet not a shred of evidence to back up his claims. A case of two wrongs don’t make a right then!

    ‘Stansted 15’ win appeal against conviction for deportation flight protest

    Protesters who broke into Stansted Airport to stop a plane deporting people to Africa have won an appeal against their convictions.

    The Lord Chief Justice said they “should not have been prosecuted for the extremely serious offence”.

    Maybe this Law was intended for terrorists who highjack a plane?

    Not sure if this is useful here?

    Unilever has said that by 2030 it will refuse to do business with any firm that does not pay at least a living wage or income to its staff.

    I have been locked out of the forums. Just managed to get back in. Reading web attacks, my IP address might be blocked? All good 😁👍

    I saw this, not sure if it is off topic? My apologies if it is.
