Is there the problem that ‘not required’ could mean ‘you can if you want to, though’?

My wife, sensing I'm about to pull out my harmonica, gently places her hand on my thigh to let me know it's an inappropriate time. We are an incredible team.

I've been reading a lot of the sayings of the Desert Fathers recently, collections of quotes and parables from monks who lived in the Egyptian Desert from around 270ad. And there's a lot to be learned from them, but if I may, I'd like to paraphrase one which I think bluesky really needs to hear...

The plaque’s theft has also deflected attention from schools’ contributions to the 230th anniversary commemoration: seagulls in the castle with messages to the prisoners of war from pupils in St Lucia & St Vincent who have been learning how their national history intersects with Portchester’s

The ingrained cultural arrogance of many people in this country about the fact we speak the most widely understood language is so depressing. So much of human life happens without English. Why don’t you want to experience more of the world?!

Bit of a long shot but you never know. A young relative is studying fine arts in London. There are no available facilities for her to actually paint. Does anyone know of any incredibly cheap spaces around South East London where a temporary studio could be set up?

Their playlist is a constant puzzle for me. It’s like they’ve had a good rummage in a charity shop cd collection and only played stuff from 13 years ago or more. Sometimes that’s great but mostly just really obscure!

The decline of Newsnight, at a time when we need detailed and decent investigative and foreign reporting more than ever, is so depressing. Marshall is more than an ex singer. He’s Paul Marshall’s son - of GB News, Unherd, Speccie - & is on ARC Forum advisory board

I wrote this! TL;DR the rest of the world spent so long anxiously watching Orban destroying everything; the least we can do now, for Hungary and for our own sakes, is to watch as Magyar proves that things can actually get better

Yes, agree with this as an ex-teenage girl. It’s a great film partly because it’s so relatable

There are lots of things I could say about this piece but I think it's particularly noticeable that it doesn't begin to grapple with the structural problem of how church volunteering might be made to work for younger people and keeps the burden placed on the retired.

I have tried to tell my vicar I think we are doing too much as a church in terms of scheduled events etc for a sustainable level of volunteering with an ageing ‘workforce’ but I am not sure it is being grasped. And if you keep asking, you get the same faithful few plugging the gaps until you don’t.

It’s not necessarily that people haven’t considered the joys of volunteering or are scared off by a bit of paperwork!

A Rachel for all seasons (she/her) @nerak3l.eurosky.social · 16/10/2026

Yes. And arguably the fact that many can’t afford to spare the time to volunteer unless retired with no caring responsibilities - the vast majority of us need to work (paid/in home) if younger. I really think many churches haven’t adapted to the fact daytime volunteers are going to become rarer.

This is an often forgotten point. UK is holding thousands of people in a status limbo. They get status, but no way of knowing how long it'll last and no settlement options. Planning work? School? One of the few things the UK has control over in the response to the war and they do this.

Just in case you thought it was just LGBT stuff, Ofcom has also deemed calling someone a Nazi approximately as offensive as calling them a "Chinaman", "Gippo" or "Honky".

Sabir Zazai, Scottish Refugee Council tells us he first heard of the refugee convention after arriving in Dover on a cold December day in 1999, told: you are a person liable to be detained but you may claim asylum under the 1951 refugee convention. A kind woman gave him fish & chips. No masked men.
