Nahh not having it. You've all taken what Zack Polanski said (albeit harshly) and twisted it. The fact is - they ARE the ones doing the jobs brits won't and always have been. I've met Zack and he's one of the nicest men I've met in politics- he sees everyone equally and no better

I've wiped bottoms when I trained as a psychiatric nurse. Zack is right. He wasn't being derogatary, just honest. It's not pleasant work.

As a support worker for 30+ years to the elderly disabled and having cleaned many hundreds of rear ends, it's categorically obvious what Zack Polanski was getting at. Typical low class labour MPs trying to drag others down to their own grotty level.

An Austrian woman asks an Austrian veteran of the Second World War to tell the truth about the war. She doesn’t like his answer…

We are Ireland. The country tied for the most wins, the only one to ever win three in a row and our capital city Dublin has hosted the contest the most times. Sure Sweden may break our win record soon, and we aren’t as loved as Italy, but at least we leave with integrity.

So many questions here. Is this how the Bishop of Lincoln entertains all clergy on their birthdays, or was it two gay men with lots of booze and, at least, socks off? Surely the Bishop's judgment is very very questionable. The time has come for him to quietly resign.

The Church Commissioners has assets of over £11 billion. Now its changing its policy to allow it to invest in the arms trade. Who on earth would contribute anything to a Church of England church, or listen to pleas for donations. When will church laity wake up to this scandal?

More lay people are needed to ask searching questions of church hierarchy. Speaking the truth to power in The Church of England is needed for church? Do you agree?

HORRIFIC: Explosions from Israeli airstrikes rattled the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City today, shattering its windows while people were praying. Pray for them.

A Vote for the Green Party = • Abolish Tuition Fees • Renationalise NHS • £15 p/h Minimum Wage • 500,000 Council Homes • £70 billion Wealth Tax • Axe Bedroom Tax • Axe Trident waste • Free Elderly Care for all What a beautiful set of policies to fix our society 💚.

Am going to Christmas carols and readings by candlelight in our village church this evening. Our seven year old will be reading a passage from the Book of Micah. This is a new tradition for our village but one I really support. A good reminder that it only takes a handful of

When did Christmas Tree Festivals in Church become a thing? What are they about? I like a Christmas tree but lots close together to me are tacky. I think some cathedrals have them.

It would be good to see CofE bishops and clergy leading carol singing / services in public places, not just in their buildings. Be missional! I know some do, but only some. 'Pop up' carol services in our towns would be welcome, and Bishops could join them and be seen.

I'm for gay marriage in CofE BUT I'm fed up of clergy going on about it, often I think for self interest. I do not come across lay people speaking out on it, or same sex couples wanting church marriage. This is taking up disproportionate energy in Church. togethercofe.org.uk/dean-of-st-edm…
