Anyone even vaguely acquainted with safeguarding issues will know this is a disaster.

generative AI is an affront to human dignity, crushes creativity and art, destroys the environment, and upholds tyranny. using generative AI for trends, or cutting past doable tasks in order to avoid thinking, is not only stupid but sinful.

Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was. A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality. It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.

if you're taking a few references to satanism, rather than the millions of references to the rich and powerful, to be the most important thing in the epstein files, you’re on the side of the systems and institutions which will continue to perpetuate suffering and abuse until they are converted.

evangelicals keep posting threads about epstein & satanism and actually it's just the capitalist system that relies on forcing us to abuse and predate on each other, and so allows for microcosms of cruelty and evil where human selfishness can be unfettered at the expense of the most vulnerable.

perhaps he should have grappled with his “conscious” when he decided to appoint the close friend of a notorious paedophile on the merit that he was able to destroy jeremy corbyn…

There might be a case to say the Premier League just make things up as they go along... Everton £19.5m breach - 10 points Leicester City £20.8m breach - 6 points Nottingham Forest £34.5m breach - 4 points

Admittedly I’m in a unique context in an academic environment and a city wherein the two anglo-catholic parishes are very traditional liturgically, both affirm women’s ordination and welcome queer people. So i’m quite comfortable using certain terms in that context.

idk, i tend not to identify myself as protestant, as an anglo-catholic. i’m much more likely to call myself Catholic, and i always refer to Roman Catholics specifically so as not to cause confusion. obviously a relatively minor issue.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Karin Smyth blusters, obfuscates, deflects and distracts when asked why Peter Mandelson isn't having his peerage stripped. Its really difficult to do, apparently. I'm old enough to remember when Keir Starmer promised to abolish the entire House of Lords. How's that going?

The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare" Mick: "Exactly"

the epstein scandal is also proof that you physically cannot have that much money and be a good person. a system which concentrates so much wealth and power in the hands of the few is built on predation & abuse. capitalism relies on our base instinct to hurt one another for our own advantage.

once again, not a modicum of moral consistency or integrity from the so-called ‘Christian right’, whose politics were always about self-service, deceit, and the worship of power, rather than truth, justice, and discipleship.

let me get this straight: we have absolute proof that every powerful politician and businessman of the last 30 years has been prolifically abusing children, and not a word from the “protect our children” brigade? the threat was never immigrants, or muslims, or trans people. it was our ruling class.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election? Reform winning? Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about. They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

today is the Feast of the Conversion of S. Paul, who was once a zealous persecutor of the Church, and of Christ. His conversion is proof that God’s mercy and grace can enter into even the hardest of hearts, and reminds us that to convert to Jesus Christ is to convert to love of His Children.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
