Watched a few interviews with him talking about this stuff. Quite insightful.

There's a lot to unpack around people, especially young men, finding solace in others who have a view of everything is against them and using these "alt truths" to make sense of things.

Which instead of making them feel "free" of it, they get manipulated
 
If you've been wondering what non-CoE 'Father' Calvin has been getting up to after quitting the UK over "free speech" issues, well he went to the US and opened up a church there as part of the Anglian Catholic Communion (seems a contradiction in terms but anyway), and recently decided to try and curry favour with the new administration by performing a Nazi salute at the end of a speech.

Seems his new church wasn't too amused with this and have booted him from the Communion. No doubt will be ranting about cancel culture again soon!

Do find it mad that he can just decide on a whim to move to the US. Does he have any citizenship or something? Where’s his cash come from to do that?

I assume in cases like this it's arranged and sponsored by the church leadership? Robinson seems to keep flitting between various minor church groups so must wear out his welcome in one communion and then find some new bunch of saps willing to take him on.

The amount of wronguns, I knew growing up, settled down, got a job got a flat, had a few sowing seeds holidays on the Costa, You have to save for years just get rent deposit together let alone for the mortgage. Younger people opportunities are so much less now than 30 years ago when I was making good and bad choices.

Certainly felt that way.

Whiles there's been some global catastrophes over those decades, the fact the divide between the rich and poor has widened it's created "out for themselves" mentality.

If youre rich you're making sure you stay that way so you take more resources. Then who has to pay for the lack of resources? The working man.

Read a report last night from Warwick university that said if you'd level tax towards the super rich who are non-doms (UK born, working business in the UK, who's living status is abroad) about 26k of them would add £3.2billion to the economy.

Brexit Jim Radcliffe moved to Monaco in 2020 and saved £4billion in taxes. His business INEOS is a UK based firm.

Yup, Altar Mitty has been jettisoned by his “Church”
