interesting there's a solicitor in Retford who's come out of nowhere to write bits about parish church finances for two high-profile, long-running newspapers in the past week. that's all I'm saying. possibly no one knows what I'm talking about. but it's very weird imo

genuinely, it isn't. the CofE is sadly run by a lot of bullshit execs (the diocese of London thing over the Captain Tom cult is disgraceful) but there isn't some nefarious covid plan to dismantle a system near the scale of the the 1530s and it's silly to imply such

Reckon if I proposed a piece to The Spectator how most historic parish churches should be taken into state custodianship for the public good like most medieval monastic and military ruins they wouldn't give me a response. maybe I could give it a go though, eh listeners?

lmao. top content. blowing smoke up arses for great justice

all I think is historic rural churches need to be freed from the idea that they all have spinsters cycling to evensong, and more that they are widely accessible heritage/spiritual venues which have easier access to maintenance grants. but they mustn't be sold under circumstances.

lol its the 'kin cover. crazy stuff
