I’m getting a bit fed up with news items going on about additional payments certain people will get from the DWP.

Northern Echo

This is an example, and lists Universal Credit amongst others, unless I’m very much mistaken, that a benefit paid to unemployed people, mainly.

As a state Pensioner, I don’t qualify for Pension Credit, because I have private pensions, although I did get an extra £300 last year and will again this year.

I pay more than that in Income Tax. Much more.

But what really, really sends my blood pressure sky high is when I see articles that use the phrase “Free Money”. Even an article about advice from Martin Lewis have used this.

It’s NOT free, it’s taxpayers money, you cunts!

As the General Synod of the Church of England gets under way, we are presented with further irrefutable evidence of just how obsolete, useless and out of touch with reality that the CofE really is.

Apparently the Church is debating whether to make God gender neutral. FFS the stupidity and arrogance is beyond parody.

If you believe that the Bible is the word of God, then surely it is inappropriate to rewrite it. After all ‘God made man in his own image’ and in the garden of eden Eve was created as a companion for Adam from one his ribs. Ergo, God is male not some sort of gender neutral deviant hybrid.

And if that isn’t enough, they’re going to debate gay marriage and whether the CofE should be the official religion of this country because it is at odds with the law of the land.

Whatever your feelings on religion, all this clearly displays and amazing level of arrogance by a body that quite frankly is becoming increasingly irrelevant, woke and political.

There’s no place for it in the modern world. It’s become a joke.

The Church of England

Bloody hell, here we go again. Is nothing sacred?

Apparently the C of E is considering a ‘woke’ make-over for, er… God. The Church is considering dropping male references to the deity in a Spring ‘gendered language’ initiative. Henceforth, the Big Man may no longer be referred to as ‘He’ and ‘Him’ in an effort to be more ‘gender inclusive’.

I suppose that it had to happen sooner or later with a bedwetter like Justin ‘Right On’ Welby at the helm as Archbishop of Cunterbury. I mean, back in 2018, man in a frock Welby did declare ‘God is not a father in exactly the same way as a human being is a father. God is not male or female. God is not definable’.

Well I suppose if anybody knows it’s him. The Almighty, one presumes, will have ‘had a word’ in his shell-like to set him straight on the subject.

Personally I’m intrigued as to just where all this ‘wokery’ might end. Are they going to re-write references in the Bible, such as ‘so God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God he created them’?

And what about hymns with lines like ‘praise my soul the king of heaven, to His feet thy tribute bring’ and ‘father like He tends and spares us’? Or the Lord’s Prayer beginning ‘our father who art in heaven’?

Needs a bit of thinking through does this, our Justin. Perhaps you should take yourself off to a retreat again for a few months to enable you to agonise sufficiently over the matter. Italy’s quite nice this time of year, and the food and wine’s great.

Amen. Oh, and Awomen. Or should that be ‘Apersons’? Confused? You will be…

Come on you lot, let’s hear it for Birmingham City Council, who’ve just installed what appears to be the country’s shortest and most meaningless cycle lane.

The lane is just seven feet long, and has been described by Stirchley locals as being pointless and ridiculous, and by the Taxpayers’ Alliance as a complete waste of money.

The Council even denies that it is in fact a cycle lane, with a Council mouthpiece stating that it’s for ‘formal transitioning’ on the road. This in spite of the fact there’s a fucking great cycle symbol painted on the road. Looks like a cycle lane to me.

Local councils; wasting your money everywhere. Oh well, at least they give the IsAC brotherhood something to take the piss out of, the cunts.

So, if you’re a fan of football you can worship your team like a god. But the points system is broken. If you’re team works their arses off and draws every game because they honestly try they can potentially be done over by a team who wins one and loses one. WvLvWvL = 6 points. DVDVDVD = 4 points. (For those who don’t know, its currently 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw – DA)

So you can play better and get a draw and be on less points. Doesn’t make any sense. It should be 4 points for a draw and then 9 points for a win. It would up the tempo for decent football.

If you’re a hardcore football fan you’d probably be against it but I feel it would improve the game rather than the boring shite we have to put up with as moderates.

Play to win, not to draw. You cunts!

My fellow cunters, news from the moral high ground occupied by everyone’s favourite journal of hypocrisy.

What is it this time, you ask? Lambasting the rich for using tax avoidance schemes whilst using, er, tax avoidance schemes? Criticising companies for employing unpaid interns whilst employing, er, unpaid interns? No, its the card that trumps all others, race of course, and this time it’s been played against the Graun. Oh shit.

You see, embarrassed by their founder making a mint out of slavery, the Graun set about making amends by preparing a set of podcasts on the subject. But three chippy soots they employed to research the matter have bitten the hand that feeds them and published a letter accusing them of institutional racism and not taking the issue seriously. The letter is full of wokeisms straight out of the Graun’s own lexicon – whitewash, passive-aggressive, editorial whiteness, microaggressions, colourism (that’s a new one – must be the Graun’s word of the week). Was justice ever so poetic?

It’ll be fun to watch them clinging on to their £1.3billion when the podcasts are aired and the tree-swingers start baying ‘reparations’.
