🧵 I have a wild, wild story which we need to get to the bottom of… A friend of a friend is a pro choral singer and was due to sing at a big, grand funeral yesterday, at the Brompton Oratory in London. Rehearsals done, everyone in place dressed up and ready to go…
Then, 5 minutes after it should have started, the choir master comes in and announces that the funeral has been cancelled…. Why? Because THERE IS NO BODY IN THE COFFIN
The funeral was being live-streamed for people at home who couldn’t make it and one of them overheard a “mourner” saying “so when are we being paid for this”… the mourners, it transpired, were paid actors, so someone checked the coffin and sure enough… no body.
What’s the story?? Was someone attempting to fake their own death? Why such a grand funeral? Who were the undertakers? If any investigative/London reporters follow me, please, please find out 🙏
Extremely unpopular opinion: the attacks on @danny__kruger are disingenuous. Pregnant women already don't have "absolute bodily autonomy", if they did we'd have abortion up until birth. Implicit in all abortion laws is an understanding that at some point during pregnancy the
zygote/embryo/fetus ceases to be part of a woman's body and becomes some sort of person in its own right. We can massively disagree on when that moment is - but it's hardly shocking or "vile" that a committed Christian like Danny Kruger believes that it's at conception...
As a side point: without a doubt there are misogynistic Republicans who don't give a damn about when human life begins and have no interest in what will happen to women and children when abortion is banned - they just see it as a culture war and they want to be with their tribe
