I couldn't find a thread on this breaking news. How awful for everyone involved.

Thomas was holding a copy of the Bible.

I wonder if he’s actually read it? He doesn’t appear to know what Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount.

I thought your stomach couldn’t take it. Whichever way up to you, plenty read it apparently. It makes no difference to us if you do / don’t.

How do you know that apparently plenty read it?

Is there a colon missing between "see" and "the" ?
That would make more sense.

Clearly not.

Probably a symbolic message to his supporters. Or something like that.

Certainly his criminal record doesn't fit in with a Christian way of life, as in the followers of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Quite a few mentions and a few who post mistakenly even. It doesn’t matter, it’s a good thread for those on it. People who don’t like it but spend time reading it, well that’s up to them.

Why assume I'm seething? I'm not by the way.

Thats a very odd, very emotive choice of word to give a stranger and possibly says more about your own mindset.

Strange.

Yes. Seething is an odd choice of word. Sickened might be more accurate perhaps (though I don't want to put words in your mouth)?

Re the Sermon on the Mount - I've always wondered how long the Meek would be able to keep hold of the earth, after they had inherited it 🤔

Goodness. Do keep reading then. Sounds useful for you.

Why would I choose to be sickened? I went on it the other day, as did others, as Becky posted a link to it with the post about behaviour there and on similar threads.

Mycatiscraycray · 29/09/2026 13:56

It was blokes trying to nick some petrol wasn’t it? Then I saw that there was an actor involved. Was it Harrison Ford?

So a one off, having not read it before. It’ll pass, there’s other stuff to read.

Well presumably all the un-Meek will have been deported to the fiery pit? So all would be peaceful.

It is actually useful to read the other side of the political spectrum, though? I know people from LiW visit the Burnham threads because they reference what they have read there on other threads. Usually negatively, sadly.

No it was "The name is Bond, James Bond."

He is a bit old for that sort of caper. Callista would be cross.

So you do want to read it now even though you’re ‘sickened’. Up to you, it’s your reading time.

Tommo....what a guy. Why can't these people use their normal names. Thomas, too middle class I suppose.

What is ‘Zac ‘Polanski’s real name? Why doesn’t he use it?

It is pretty well documented why he changed his name. I don't like the guy much, but comparing him changing his name to Danny Thomas using the nickname "Tommo" is a bit...uninformed.

I’m sure they would reference it positively if only there was something positive to reference.

Since the Bible is in vogue on this thread - thought I'd finish with a favourite quote

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
