I agree - but it is a Christian doctrine and contains the word 'war' so the White House will keep using the words to mean exactly what they want them to and badmouth anyone who suggests they are not 'just'

Not sure that it is fair to people who live with mental illness to label what is causing the hatred that comes out of the White House - it is enough to call out the behaviour as selfish, cruel and hate-filled - most humans are not whatever their mental health

In the last few days we've had MPs hammered for... erm dancing in public at a community fisco and using their phone in a pub.

Dedicated to St Thomas the Apostle, who declared Jesus to be 'My Lord and My God' and, tradition has it, brought the Christian church to South India

Definitely featuring in my sermon today...

A religious statue in a French church. It’s actually St John Vianney, but it looks a lot like William Hartnell as the Doctor. Or, indeed, like John Wesley.

Ah, look, a statue of the First Doctor. Or possibly John Wesley.

I popped in to Watlington Hill yesterday, on the way home from Warburg Nature Reserve. The red kites are ever-present and curious, checking me out in case I had any unguarded food (I didn't). 🔴🪁🦅🪶 #birds #birdphotography

Whatever you think of Steve Bell’s politics, he is a superb artist and observer, as can be shown by the way that Tony Blair has gradually transformed into a Steve Bell cartoon as he aged.
