that's a good start.

anything less only emboldens them. Fascism isn't a joke or a common sentiment. They need to be rightfully made to feel WRONG for their abhorrent views.

He's mixed race and (if Wikipedia is to he believed) describes himself as "half Afro Caribbean and half English.

I like this suggestion. On many fronts.

Agree
Bon Voyage John.

How ever he identifies he is still a wanker, glad the Anglican Church acted swiftly.

I was puzzled about what the Anglican Catholic Church is. Never heard of it before this bloke was in the news yesterday. He seems to change denominations rather rapidly...

Starmer; Lettuce Pray

I believe he started training as an Anglican priest, apparently he has been through five different churches altogether

He is even worse than I thought a serial wanker
tbh I’m not sure what the Anglican Catholic Church is either

Alastair Campbell is playig the bagpipes accompanying JP's coffin

Aw.

Oh goodness bagpipes get me every time we had them played at Fils & a dear friends funeral.

I’m so pleased that John Prescott’s funeral is getting the attention he deserves. Both Blair and Brown there along with Starmer. I may have a tear in my eye. He made me think of my DF in many ways.

Can we put Prescott in the next thread title?

Hull Minster is beautiful. Agree with Best that I am pleased he is getting the send off he deserves.

I was going to save this for the next thread. But couldn't contain myself ...

Apparently the funeral cortège was made up of two jags.

That was Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau on the bag pipes, wasn't it? A nod to his birthplace. Fabulous.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Just watched his sons speech. Very moving. Bon voyage John.

It was, both the hearse and the family car

That's lovely

That's great that she's doing so well littledrummer - it really helps when they understand the process (training) is far more important to focus in than the outcome. The outcome comes naturally with the process goals being met!

Is your son still aiming for the Paralympics? (I hope I rememberd that correctly)

Despite spending a large chunk of my childhood in Hull, I don't think I've ever been in the minster.

The two jags are just perfect. I think he would have approved ❤️

Yes Duncin - aiming for 2028 and 2032 - time will tell if he's actually good enough to make it.
