“He should stick to his day job discussing morality instead of.. of… It’s about time we closed the church” – Tories
Uh oh I suspect *songs of praise* and *thought for the day* is about to be cancelled
He’s completely wrong as the purpose is clear: dead cat management.
I’ll look forward to a thread full of comments about the House of Lords being packed with 26 unelected bishops, which as we are all aware is an example of discrimination, religious privilege, and undemocratic politics.
Need I remind any of you that this is an extremely unusual and anti-democratic set-up, which has a negative influence on the quality and character of British politics.
The only two sovereign states in the world to award clerics of the established religion votes in their legislatures are the UK and the Islamic Republic of Iran (a totalitarian theocracy).
Of course, it’s likely that comments such as these are reserved for situations in which bishops say things that go against the narrative, such a refusing to marry same sex couples in Anglican churches.
When they’re saying something supportive of migrants, I think we can all agree to leave all the previous criticisms to one side. Nay?
Cue Tory MPs criticising bishops for making statements about moral issues.
When even Jesus says you’re bastards you’re probably bastards.
Get him sacked and told he can’t do “church” on Sunday until he agrees with the government
Cruelty? I think an organisation that covered up child rape should keep quiet.
Yeah… ‘cruelty without purpose’ sounds pretty on brand for the Tories.
Suella Braverman was quoted as saying “Who will rid me of this of this meddlesome priest?”
It’s not without purpose. The cruelty is the purpose.
For Tories it’s a double win not only do they get to scapegoat refugees and migrants, but it’s another service they privatise out to their mates for some undisclosed consideration.
It does have purpose – to keep our vile Tory rulers in power to wreck this country and enrich themselves. No amount of cruelty and misery is too much to inflict on the people of this country, let alone asylum seekers, for this goal. The reason our quality of life is deteriorating, public services no longer function and our work conditions are shit is not some asylum seekers on boats – it is the Tories, they do not work for this country or its people.
QUICK!! CANCEL HIM FROM THE BBC SO THAT THEIR TORY OVERLORDS DONT GET OFFENDED!!!!
Btw does it potentially count as conflict of interest if the chairman of the BBC donates £400k of his own money to the Tories?
Daily mail: ‘ Who can rid me of this troublesome priest?’
Not true. Its purpose is to secure the votes of those who are impressed by and actively want more of this cruelty, while maintaining the votes of those who are indifferent to or kept ignorant of it.
“cruelty without purpose”.
Yeah sounds like another day for the Tories.
The Party, governing by crisis. Making one after another so there’s so much shite going on we can’t keep up.
It’s not cruel for the whole world not to be allowed to reside in Britain. We don’t owe the world a residence. Believe it or not, there are other countries out there. We already have ten million migrants.
The old virtue signaling, from a man whose job it is to signal virtues
Yes it is the government should be breaking up the gangs smuggling these people
Illegal entry through the channel tunnel blocked.
Illegal entry via ferry blocked
Illegal entry via small boat, why would we not block it if we could?
I don’t get all the hatred toward this new policy, can someone explain? It blocks people coming from non-war-torn from claiming asylum (e.g. an American living in a homeless camp cannot claim asylum here, just as a British person cannot do the same in America).
Asylum is for specific things, and our system does function when it comes to those things. Source: I work in a place that has received multiple refugees from Syria and Ukraine.
Pretty much every first world country has strict immigration laws, like needing a high level of education and a job lined up. If anyone could bypass that by claiming asylum from any country, you’d quickly run into issues.
Cruelty without purpose. … That’s a catchy slogan for the tory election campaign.
It’s amazing how many people are supportive of the human trafficking through little rubber boats across the channel.
These same people then turn around and say “what a tragedy, why didn’t the Tories do something?” when the bodies of dead kids wash up on the beach.
These people are being trafficked and it’s got to stop. They’re forced to do the crossing by criminal gangs and told they’ve been done a favour that they must pay back. They’re then forced into crime to pay off the debt of the crossing as they can’t get real jobs.
isn’t this what the general british public want? the government is there to do things because of the people’s will.
Come on, it’s not cruel. If they come through Spain and France their not seeking refuge they seeking money. We all know that why is it so bad to say that ?
Well that’s ruined his chances of presenting Match of the Day.
It absolutely has a purpose. The Tories *know* this kind of legislation won’t be passed in the UK. They are posturing to make the election a vote for or against immigration. Of course, they’re ignoring the fact that the current situation is entirely of their making and immigration (all kinds) has never been higher than under their rule. If they were serious about stopping the small boats, safe legal routes would have been introduced at the same time as making boat entry illegal – and if they introduced a ‘cap’ I feel it would have had broader support than what they’re doing now.
Definitely a purpose just not what you say out loud
Looks like he won’t be hosting Match of the Day anytime soon.
A member of the established church criticises the government? Cancel services immediately! No one can criticise the government or their policies unless they are 100% independent of anything establishment.
So, cruelty with purpose is acceptable to the archbishop?
Cruelty without purpose? So, a bit like the CoE’s policy on same sex marriage.
“Where am I going to get my vulnerable children from now?”
If anyone knows was anything about cruelty without purpose it’s cult leaders like him…
How about the UK didn’t follow their American masters and bomb their home countries in the first place?
The purpose is to rile up the right wing ignorants and get them to vote tory.
The purpose is to discourage dangerous crossings of the channel. And anybody who crosses from France to the UK could have already claimed asylum in France, unless they are seeking asylum _from_ France. Under the refugee convention, illegal entry is only required to be allowed for refugees who are “coming directly from a territory
where their life or freedom was threatened”. If you are venue shopping, you must come legally.
Somewhere, a Tory strategist just snapped his fingers as a lightbulb appeared over his head, the 2024 election slogan sorted.
Doesn’t it show the church is becoming more and more irrelevant… who cares what these people say!
I think we need to ban him from God for talking against the Tories.
The purpose is to appeal to the vast swathes of cruel, spiteful, racists in Britain because any promise of making people’s lives better would be laughed out the room. This way they can keep ransacking this shit hole island and no one will have the right to ask anything of them.
