I sometimes wonder whether I’m temperamentally Catholic? I was brought up Baptist and CofE, but lived in Italy for 10 years and taught in two Catholic schools, and I love church history and hate the reformation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it wrong that I’m warming to the leader of the opposition?? #desertislanddiscs

Graham Linehan is a disgrace. #trans
Can we just get past the idea that "gender critical" people are in any way in favour of womens' rights? When you lie down with fascists, you, erm, end up a fascist.
according to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, streeting and so on — who are totally on the right side of history — graham linehan is a kindly liberal and women's right activist who has been cruelly cancelled by the powerful trans lobby

'gender critical' is a far right pipeline

Insane. This world and some of the people in it!
What a thing that a) people are just wandering round secretly filming women and putting their details on the internet and b) that we have devised a piece of equipment to make that sneakier www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Women filmed in secret for TikTok content - then harassed online
So-called manfluencers wearing smart glasses approach women and then post videos to TikTok.

The old world order has been blown apart : Britain must adapt to survive

Starmer’s US appeasement has failed and Britain, alone and vulnerable, needs new military strategies and closer alliances with EU and Canada

And guess who's going to have the baby every sodding night at 7pm??? 🤷‍♀️

I really hope this baby storyline is over soon, it’s just rehashing old plots! Chelsea, Pip, Alice, Fallon, Emma, Helen, Elizabeth! Doesn’t anyone take precautions?? At least the Chelsea/Ben SL was a bit more realistic, but they can’t be the only choices? Are the SWs just very young? #TheArchers
January 23, 2026 at 7:29 PM
Love this!! If only! #TheArchers
After the lazy SL revelation that Amber is pregnant, I feel I should create more creative & credible #TheArchers SLs.

It is amusing that, despite how academics *have* been saying for c.40 years that the ancient Britons weren't labelled Celts, most normal people have just carried on assuming they were called Celts so this is only a big reversal for *us*

We're very important and impactful, honest
Only just getting to Patrick Sims-Williams's argument last year that the word "Celts" *really was* applied to Britons in antiquity: if this beds in we are going to have to apologise to a lot of undergraduates...

Apropos of nothing, the idea that revenant ghosts were actually people who had been wrongly pronounced dead, were buried alive then woke up in the grave, managed to get out and return home but were ultimately shut out is obsessing me a bit at the moment!
