    The thing is, it's hard to get a three year old to do this by instruction but if you get enough dinosaurs and they all need voices then eventually they get there on their own

    And bibles everywhere, nestled unobtrusively, but omnipresent. And a WWJD sign in the corridor. And I know what you're up to with your seven ideals for good conduct - I know a list of virtues when I see one. Seven! I'm onto you.

    Was willing to believe that it was just administrative and not a big part of the school - but we looked at the CofE down the hill and they had a secret prayer written on a wall in a cupboard.

    One secular school nearby amid a plethora of CofE and RC alternatives. I really like the one there is, but if we don't get admitted everything else down the list is religious and I don't like it.

    Hate to be all 'this issue suddenly affects me and I am outraged' but look, this issue suddenly affects me and I am OUTRAGED.

    It's not like we haven't been trying - but try to get anyone to write about/playlist stuff that doesn't fit a Spotify mood and there is a tangible brick wall. Jarring is playlist anathema.

    The real question is whether these vegan sausage rolls are going to sit unrefrigerated at the front of the shop with no timestamp to let you know how long they've been held at room temperature as well because I have quite a lot of feelings about that

    He sounds EXACTLY like Hillary here. It's almost as if the determining factor in coming across as off-putting and insincere is pressure and hostility rather than 'likeability' or the gendered dog whistle of your choice

    If you think you're a centrist dad and you spend your time explaining why we need to listen to the concerns of Sargon of Akkad and put immigration on a mug or whatever, then you aren't a centrist, you're an appeaser. An Appeaser Dad.

    As such, it is entirely possible to be an angry, oppositional centrist. It isn't supposed to be a compromise between extremes, it's supposed to be the opposite of them.

    It differs from left and right in that both of those economic angles value one of the two more than the other.

    It recognises that perfect liberty would necessitate total inequality and that perfect equality would leave no one free and seeks to pursue policy that balances these competing good things against each other in order to maximise both.

    If it has a useful definition at all, Centrism amounts to an ideology that considers 'liberty' and 'equality' as roughly equal in desirability.

    Centrism isn't a spitting image caricature of a hug-happy grinner finding common ground between whoever is arguing. That would make the criticism that centrists are in the business of appeasement valid: it isn't.

    Thanks, I hate this. Accepting the idea that 'centrism' is about standing between opposing extremes and trying to say you're in the middle amounts to stuffing your own shirt with straw and punching yourself in the face. That's not what it is.

    Fireworks are for things like commemorating the foiling of a plot to blow up parliament and the declaration of independence, how dare he bring politics into it? Fuck off you slug.
