Surprised by this. Britain has 9/10 poorest areas in Northern Europe. Plus the richest. Source http://t.co/SxxIGy1hnb http://t.co/e0EIjXpWVB

How do science and philosophy differ? Is philosophy a Grand Waste of Time? Shouldn't we be doing science instead? Some thoughts of mine...

Of course I am an atheist and consider all theistic religion implausible. But Christianity is less plausible than Islam, I think. In order of plausibility: Islam, Christianity, Mormonism, Scientology.

Personally I find Islam, which requires only that God communicate with us via a prophet, much more plausible than Christianity, which requires he make himself human, get himself murdered, then resurrect himself, so that, bafflingly, we can then be cleansed/forgiven & go to heaven

The furore over the meaning of 'From the river to the sea' is a dead cat meant to distract media attention away from the atrocities currently being committed. Our media will of course happily go along with it.

@RickyDHale @reperioverum The police appear to have witnessed an assault, but arrested only the person who was assaulted.

@bbclaurak @BBCPolitics That rattling sound you can hear is that of Daily Mail journalists going though that dad's bins right now so they can run smears on him tomorrow. Same old tactics. Shame to see the BBC joining in.

It's like saying: until the murderer hiding in your town gives himself up, we'll kill the town's inhabitants. See - it's his fault you die, not ours. Of course, Israel maintains it needs to blow up empty schools & homes, shoot children etc. to 'find Hamas' but that's clearly BS.

@Britain_People @forfarfred I have also been told by someone who should know that George Osborne switched from PPE to Modern History because he couldn't hack the economics.

Really? That old B.S. again? Will you be challenging this tired old household finance myth @BBCNews , which Starmer, Reeves and others Labour front benchers are now clearly co-ordinating in peddling?

I'd put money on these being weasel words and Starmer not voting for the ceasefire motion on wed on the grounds that it is not guaranteed to be 'permanent'.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire “An end to the fighting, not just now, not just for a pause, but permanently. A ceasefire that lasts. Conference, that is what must happen now - the fighting must stop now.”

@Liam_Holman99 No. But I will be campaigning for @andrewfeinstein in Starmer's constituency, and @LeanneMohamad in Wes Streeting's constituency, as there is at least some hope we can keep them out of Government. Here's why...

@LabourList @LouiseEllman @_LFI This article peddles several pernicious myths, including that there was an increase in antisemitism under Corbyn's Labour. It reflects very poorly on Labour List.

@CapturingChrist The second paragraph contradicts itself. The first deals at best only with the logical problem of evil, not the evidential, which is of course the Big Problem as any fule kno.
