Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

God bless The Church Times for their ongoing insistence on responding moderately but forcefully to the Reverend Canon Nigel Biggar’s nonsense. www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...
Even given all that Biggar writes about the universality of slavery and the complicity of Africans, three things might be said. First, Britain played a key part and, however others may want to respond to their own history, it is morally responsible to face up to our own heritage. Second, as a Tory, he might have made more of Burke’s view that society is a partnership not just between the living, but between the living, the dead, and those still to be born. Third, guilt is not the only spur to action. There are the obligations that we owe one another irrespective of any personal responsibility for atrocities in the past.

A sermon preached on St Cecilia’s Day in 1713, ‘this being the Day which Custom has Devoted to celebrate the Decency of Cathedral Service, to set forth its Usefulness, to convince the Gainsayer, to remove the Prejudices of the Ignorant, and the Cavils of the Malicious.’

‘The president is unhinged’: Trump’s online behavior grows increasingly odd
The US president’s recent behavior is strange to many, from reposting a false AI video of himself to confusing comments during press conferences
