The prison ship formerly known as New Zealand continues its long hard journey back to sanity.

Falsely accusing people of racism can have ruinous personal consequences, both for the accused and - as it turns out - the accusers.
Appeals court orders Oberlin College to pay $25m to local bakery it labelled “racist”.

On this day in 1971... the finale of #DoctorWho The Claws of Axos! A great scene between Jon & Roger. ❤️

EXTRAORDINARY to watch the pro lockdown brigade (almost everybody) starting to wonder if maybe, just maybe, they got this totally wrong. Almost 2 years too late, they are finally waking up to the horrific collateral damage. It's on you, guys.

“Diversity is replaced with homogeneity of thought. Inclusion, with exclusion. In this ideology, speech is violence. But violence, when carried out by the right people in pursuit of a just cause, is not violence at all.” @bariweiss commentary.org/articles/bari…

Found this incredible image online of David Amess asking Theresa May for Southend to be made a city, as always with James Brokenshire laughing on.
Both were exceptionally talented MP’s, taken long before their time - and within a few days of each other. Remember them like this.

Basildon man is gone and my heart is broken. Thank you, David Amess, for being my friend, for always smiling, the great advice and endless notes of encouragement. And for our last conversation in the lobby before recess. And of course your wonderful book. I will never forget you.

“I can’t believe it’s happened.”
Really? Look at the rhetoric that’s been normalised in recent years. On social media in particular it’s become de rigueur for people to dehumanise their political opponents in the most vile language imaginable.

This footage will still be played in 100 years. It now joins images of the retreat from Saigon and the naked Vietnamese girl as one of the west’s most shameful moments in modern history.

I endure a something which I take to be *good* and filled with power, or perhaps repose. I can't think where it came from, it was just there.

I have never before seen a @churchofengland diocese advertise for a priest with a particular theological disposition (and I somehow doubt you'll ever see one advertising specifically for a theological conservative).

We are sending a terrible message to young people about how to deal with things that are offensive (although, I think you have to be looking quite hard to get upset by the Pogues). The answer is now simply delete/ remove/ cancel the offending item. But this is not how life works.
My God STOP USING THE WORD ‘TOXIC’
