The other day, I had tea with my vicar.
He was, in many ways, the archetype of the trendy, left-leaning clergy we often hear about. He despised Trump, adored Harris, and seemed to revel in every modern “woke” trope imaginable. Intellectually, he was sharp—there’s no denying that—but I often wonder about the application of such intelligence. What good is it when it doesn’t seem to address the pressing issues facing humanity today, particularly in the spiritual and practical realms?
When I left our meeting, something struck me about the entire interaction. Theology? It hardly came up. Discussions about job creation or how the church could practically support struggling communities? Absent. Conversations about the dire state of the Anglican Church? Nowhere to be found.
Instead, the focus was on gender. Yes, gender theology.
Women’s Ordination and the Internal Divide
As someone who attends a slightly traditional church, I’ve noticed a peculiar dynamic. Opposition to women’s ordination often doesn’t come from men, as many might assume. In fact, much of the resistance comes from women themselves.
When women’s ordination was first introduced, some of its strongest proponents were women who saw it as a step toward inclusivity while acknowledging inherent differences. They hoped to bridge divides, not deepen them. Yet today, the narrative has shifted. Dissenting women are labeled misogynists by the same radical left figures who claim to champion their rights. It’s profoundly hypocritical and deeply unsettling.
Final Thoughts
The Anglican Church faces countless challenges—declining attendance, financial struggles, and societal irrelevance among them. Yet, instead of addressing these pressing issues, the focus seems to be on divisive, performative topics like gender theology.
C'mon, where are all you brain boxes. A complete, fucking embarrassment to the conservative movement.
C'mon, comment on this. Please . . .
Here's a question for you idiots from four years ago, and in particular you ones who thought Pence could decertify the election for President.
That's right, I don't want you to get what you like, because you're not going to like what
you get or the old saying I can't really remember how it goes.
Think about that for a moment. What would stop her? And PLEASE don't talk any shite to me about; "It's different now." or "Uh, she has no right to do that!"
Really?
According to you lot, she DOES have that right. And who knows this could be the ace up their sleeve, and you lot have NO reason to complain. Don't you?
Yeah, I heard all you geniuses back then, and well, you were told that four years ago that that, wasn't the case, and that he (Trump) should
not have even tried it. That it was completely bat shit crazy for you to try it and
now it could easily come back and bite you in the ass, correct?
But the big question is, why wouldn't she?
You probably have various different possibilities;
1) She decertifies the election. This would then mean that Joe Biden remains President.
2) On the other hand, Biden never ran, so wouldn't that mean, that she would be President, after all, she is the sitting Vice-President.
3) But she can't be President, because she actually lost the election?
4) Biden resigns, Kamala becomes President (just like Gerald Ford did, after Nixon resigned), and with an "invalid" election, she remains President?
WTF?
As before, four years ago, I am not only at a loss of what could / would happen, but still furious, that any idiot would have actually believed that it would've been a good idea, even if permittable, to "invalidate" an election.

I met a friend recently who actually thought that Joe Biden resigned, not because he was being chased and pushed to resign, but that he actually was a decent human being, and felt that it was the moral thing to do, due to his health (and let Kamala take over)!
It's not! There are a good deal of leftists on the network, but it is then balanced with many from the right, or as I would label it, the Centre / Centre-Right.
On it there is a particular man called Josh Howie, who also suffers from this; I'm so nice type of syndrome - that I find that many from the left suffer from.
Time and time again over the past few years, he's always taken the side that people are good, that people are decent and all they need to do is listen to a certain logical argument and they will change their mind or come to a good, decent decision or viewpoint. And time and time again, he's proven wrong - and at times is exasperated by the Left's intolerance.
He is still a Labour (reluctant) supporter, though he has admitted that his vote for them in the British 2024 Parliament election was a mistake.
But once he saw -
1) Many of the Left are NOT into Free Speech! (He is)
2) COVID hurt his family / children's education & the vaccines did little, if anything to help.
3) The economy was destroyed, as opposed to a country like Sweden.
4) How he was attacked / cancelled due to his classic liberal views.
And after the above were all proven true, and that we should NEVER have locked down, he changed his mind, and at times the last few years, loses it on his broadcasts.
Who knows, my point is maybe, just maybe, certain people on the Left DO look at facts / other opinions, and will come to a viewpoint that it more aligned to the right.
I don't know if I'll hold my breath though.

I'm fascinated by the difference between us normal people, and the Leftist freaks in the world.
So much so, that I've always considered what would happen if a liberal or a right-winger saw a dog crossing the street and suddenly a car, turning into the street, ran over it—not a bicycle, but a car (Editor: You love them bikers!). I love ALL people!
First, I KNOW this is a simple question. I KNOW that there are multiple viewpoints. I KNOW that the two views can be swapped here as well. But, this is done only to generalise about two distinct groups.
I believe the reactions from either side highlight the differences between the two "sides".
I'm not saying which side is correct, as in this case both may be partly right and wrong, but it does show how they think, feel, and perceive things.
A Conservative Perspective: A conservative might view it like this: the dog crosses the street, the car comes around the corner and accidentally hits it. From a neutral perspective, we might say that there was nothing the driver could have done—the dog is not human—and that we should pay our respects and move on with life.
A Leftist Perspective: On the other hand, the leftist would undoubtedly see it in a completely different manner.
They would likely react emotionally, thinking, "How can this possibly happen in this day and age? How could a dog, something as sweet as Fido, suffer death and be taken from its owner?"
They would question the driver's actions, saying, "What was wrong with the car driver? How dare they not take all due care and have compassion for the dog? How dare they make the turn?" and so on, ad nauseum.
They would express this with such intensity as if the driver was completely in the wrong, and anyone who questions them would be labelled a fascist, Nazi, or a Trump supporter. They would simply never consider that these accidents happen, that the car owner and driver likely took all reasonable care and respect for the dog, but did not see it until the last second, and that everyone should just get on with life.
They would NEVER react like this. They would persuade themselves, and at the same time attempt to persuade anyone near them, that they were in the right. And that the case was settled and that the dog and their owner(s) were the victims, ripe for some form of compensation.
My Explanation: To anyone who actually examines these two opinions or anyone with common sense, the first opinion is literally the only reasonable one.
Yes, it explains the behaviour correctly. Yes they (the driver) did not try to kill the dog. Yes, these are accidents, and yes, please don't notify the police.
But if you do wish to bring cops into this (the Leftist opinion), I thought you didn't like the police?
Therefore, I'd believe that the matter is over and done with. If the dog is registered; contact the owner. If the owner was with the dog; have sympathies - there was no foul play.
Just could everyone PLEASE accept this, and do NOT try to assign blame!
The case is closed.
Immigration -
Keir Starmer has largely avoided addressing immigration, for instance, even after one of his MPs, Jess Phillips, was subjected to abusive shouting after winning the election.
He's pitiful and will EASILY be pushed around, quite rightly, by the incoming Trump administration.
When asked about this incident, Phillips denied that it was related to Islam and instead attributed it to a general dislike of women by some men. This response seems dismissive of the specific context of the abuse.
And I can only say, that this WILL bring this government down in the future, ie. their denial of a growing Islamic presence in the UK, and a kowtowing even to the most radical elements of it.
Proportional Representation (PR) -
Keep in mind, we did indeed have a vote on this some years back, but it was soundly defeated, although it was really not a true PR system according to many.
Voting Totals:
Labour’s position of holding two-thirds of MPs with only a third of the vote is unacceptable. There's evidence showing that Labour and Keir Starmer’s supporters needed around 24,000 votes to secure one MP, while the Conservative Party required approximately 56,000 votes for the same result. This disparity is outrageous and underscores the necessity for a PR system.
PR would benefit parties like Reform, which received 14% of the vote but with only 5 MPS, but then again Nigel Farage has always been a supporter of PR. The Liberal Democrats, who have also always supported PR, would be fairly represented, and even the Conservatives, with around 24% of the vote but only about 19% of the MPs, would benefit from a fairer system.
It's something that should be immediately put to the public vote.
Pollsters and Polls -
At one point, polls suggested (The YouGov poll of 7-8 May) a Labour landslide with a lead of 30 percentage points! This misrepresentation may have been intended to demoralize Conservative voters, leading them to believe they had no chance.
The low voter turnout of around 52-59% suggests that many Conservative supporters might have been dissuaded from voting due to these skewed polls. It is crucial to address this manipulation by pollsters to ensure fair and transparent elections in the future.
Fun times indeed lie ahead as we navigate these challenges.

Just when you thought the advertising in the Western World, and particularly here in the UK, could not get worse; it does!
Here's my faves for this past month of May:
Park Run – A Saturday fun run, up and down the
UK; and naturally ALL the volunteers are black, Muslim women!?
And something truly preposterous, the only children in Glasgow,
Scotland, are BME! Really?
And finally, according to the GlasgowLive website,
and ScotRail, mixed race couples are always on trains, enjoying
the delight of them.
Again, ain’t no room for cracker male (Public Enemy #1)!

When DEI was equal opportunities, when mental health was well-being, when procrastination
with someone being a lazy fucking bastard, and when trannies were men dressed as
women.
What's happened to the world? It seems like the
extremes, or in this case, all of the left wing's dreams and cliches have now
attempted to be normalised, or at least are normalised by the radical left wing
media, who control many sections of the world's opinions.
When Trans was Men dressed as Women -
When DEI was Equal Opportunities, when Mental Health was Well-being, when Procrastination was someone being a lazy fucking bastard, and when Trannies were men dressed as women.
What's happened to the world? It seems like, once again, the extremes, or in this case, all the left wing's dreams and cliches have now attempted to be normalised, or at least are normalised by the radical left wing media; who control many sections of the world in at least in what the world thinks.
Years ago, I worked for a trade union involved in all types of HR-related matters. While these endeavours often seemed commendable on paper, they could be quite useless in practice. It's fascinating because on one side, the Unions strive to portray themselves as good, heroic, and decent. Yet, on the other side, they can be just as manipulative and controlling as the managers they were meant to regulate.
Even then, there were individuals then, who took issue with this type of thing. I recall hearing many of my fellow employees attempt to minimize the extent of discrimination or mistreatment, suggesting that it only occurred for a brief period or affected only certain groups. The idea that if you were straight and white, you had it easy was utter nonsense in their opinion!
It was also striking that, in my capacity within HR, I would regularly attend several committees focused on discrimination against protected groups. However, we often found ourselves with literally NOTHING to do or discuss when attending these meetings. Either this type of discrimination simply didn't exist, or it was never brought to our attention.
One is left to ponder why these issues seem to have intensified in recent times? If we ARE more progressive in our thoughts, why do we seem to have more of these types of problems?
When Mental Health was Well-Being -
Please don't tell me that we only have to talk; my US experience tells me that you're talking shite if you believe this. I remember when I was very young, I heard this all the time when I was at elementary school and then later junior high - that all you have to do is talk, talk, talk and everything will be fine in your life, and your mental health will be perfect!
What rot! We did talk as Americans can do, and guess what?
Everything isn't fine. Currently, over half of the American adult population are on some form of prescription medication. And half of those are taking drugs for their mental health.
Talking doesn't fucking work.
Slippery slope - Now, here in the UK, particularly in England, we are meant to follow this pearl of wisdom. In fact, there was even a televised football special as Prince William met with footballers from the English Premier League and even from the English national football team, who were talking about their mental health - poor, rich souls.
I could have vomited.
They are once again, making the same fucking mistakes America made 40 to 50 years ago. And of course, nothing will be resolved and nothing will change. And guess what? Everyone will start to get drugged up here as well.
You only have to look at recent NHS stats, about the increase of prescriptions for “mental illness”.
It's all we hear! Let's talk, Samaritans, Well Being, Mental Health!, Let's talk! This is all we have to effing listen to. And all I can say is if you use America, as long-term study sample; it simply, doesn't work!

It's interesting that there are just, so many different groups (NGOs, Non-Profits, etc) nowadays. These radically left-wing groups, as well as their entities on social media, makes you wonder: who supports them, and just where do they get their financial backing?
The above is one of them, and its very interesting to look at their website! It's a troop of leftist freaks and supporters (see below).
I didn't think it was possible to be endorsed (presumably financed by) by THIS many whack jobs!?
So, this is the start of a new theme for this blog. Let's call it "Freaks of the Month" or for the week, if I find out that there is more than one group per month that merits being here.
No Tech for Apartheid:
This particular group is very interesting, and at the same time, also very cliched. It is once again, a typical, highly middle class, privileged, and so precious a group of pukes, who not only run it and finance it, but also (presumably) take part in their demonstrations.
According to this ignorant group of anti-Semites:
As the Israeli Occupation Forces bombed homes, clinics, and schools in Gaza and threatened to push Palestinian families from their homes in Jerusalem May 2021, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud executives signed a $1.22 billion contract to provide cloud technology to the Israeli government and military. By doing business with Israeli apartheid, Amazon and Google will make it easier for the Israeli government to surveil Palestinians and force them off their land.
Surveil? They use it a lot (see below)
NTFA gained a pathetic notoriety last week, when a group of them took over sections of Google's Sunnyvale, California offices.
This resulted in several dozen being terminated. Bravo!
But, subsequently, thank God!, many of these "warriors", including in the link below wee Emaan Haseem (ah, bless her and her outrageously, arrogant look)
were also fired today due to the above demonstrations. It takes the toll to about 50. 50 less pieces of shit in the corporate world.
Who knows, maybe sanity is finally returning to Big Business. Perhaps a post-Woke world is amongst us . . . at last!
On their site, it is still possible to sign a petition to demand that Google disinvests from Israel. And I have to report, that as of today, close to 100,000 lunatics have indeed signed up to the below (edited):
Dear Amazon and Google Executives Andy Jassy, Adam Selipsky, Sundar Pichai, and Thomas Kurian,
I’m writing to you with urgency and in solidarity with the hundreds of Amazon and Google workers bravely calling for Google and Amazon to immediately cancel your $1.2 billion contract for Project Nimbus and stop doing business with the Israeli apartheid government and military, . . .
In addition and "naturally", they are down for the struggle against BME / BIPOC oppression, with this:
Amazon helps power ICE’s deportation-detention machine, and partners with over 2,000 U.S. police departments to surveil and criminalize Black and brown communities through its doorbell camera Ring.
As always, they somehow link Gaza / Israel to Black Lives Matter? A combination that any sane person would think was crazy; but don't these groups always do this?
They then try to make this personal by having several students from Gaza, presumably the University of Gaza, give personal statements:
