Incidentally, as we build up to Easter there is some news on Canterbury, which I haven't seen discussed (although I have been busy so I may have missed it).
Graham Ussher is out of the running. He has agreed to serve on the CNC which rules him out.
As the clear front runner and the best candidate available, that makes some difference to the betting.
The frontrunner now should probably be Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester.
However - my money would actually be on a deadlock and no appointment at least this year.
People spell Usher "Ussher" to wind him up, right? Or to suggest he might be just the right guy to revise the chronology?

Americans fought a revolutionary war to avoid being governed by the whims of a capricious King
250 years later they elected one
They were rebelling against parliament more than against the king.
To be fair to Trump he is imposing taxation on imports via tariffs with representation and an election mandate in the US to do so, unlike King George III when he imposed his tax on tea in the American colonies despite no American MPs
I am appalled by the attack of three brave officers at HMP Frankland today. My thoughts are with them and their families.
The police are now investigating. I will be pushing for the strongest possible punishment. Violence against our staff will never be tolerated.
The strongest possible punishment being imprisonment? Hmm.
Meanwhile, if he threw boiling oil over them, perhaps it is time to revisit the guidelines on who can work in prison kitchens.
They could put him in solitary confinement. It seems somewhat justified in the circumstances.
Just execute him. Enough. He killed dozens of young girls. He’s 100% guilty. He’s now injuring more
Hang him
He is serving a 55 year jail sentence anyway
Which, from the prison officer's point of view, is a nightmare because they simply have no means to control him and he can take any opportunity given to hurt more people. I mean, not giving him access to hot oil seems the start of a plan but how do you manage someone like that? Just imagine going to work every day supervising a psychopath like that with absolutely nothing to lose. It's not a job I would fancy.
People want long sentences for monsters like this, and rightly so, but boy do we create a problem for the Prison Service.

At risk of triggering an avalanche, I am sure Hyufd will.
Just give the job to whoever is best able to apologise for decades of abuse, and centuries of misery, war and death, whilst simultaneously being able to spout a stream of absolute rubbish and appear to believe it all.

Speaking as an atheist, should they consider giving the job to someone who will focus on promoting Christianity in the England and more widely?
I'm obviously fine if they don't, but it strikes me as something someone with that job title might want to consider.
I'm an atheist too, but I would have lot more respect for the CoE if , just once, I heard the AoC say " Christianity is right , and Islam is wrong".
Thankfully the Christian faith operates in a slightly more nuanced and universalist manner. This for example is what the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church says about Islam:
The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day Catechism para 841.
Most Anglicans who think about it will hold a similar view and try, often without entire success, to avoid simplistic nonsense about Islam, atheists or anyone else.
I suspect they will be pretty rubbish at running councils. Speaking of which, how would Farage resolve the bins in Brum? Maybe someone would like to ask him. Unless they have some ex-counsellors in their ranks - maybe defectors from the Tories? - they will be pretty clueless from day one.
The truth is that no party has the answers to our problems.
Hard, long-term decisions are required but if anyone attempted to be really honest with the electorate they would howl and whine because a substantial wedge of the electorate want everything to be excellent (healthcare, education, defence) but don't want to pay the price necessary (not personally at least). No party can square that circle so the voters lurch about latching on to the next snake-oil salesman.
Like it or not autocracies have the upper hand over democracies in this respect which is why I also expect China to win its battle with Trump.
I’ve been saying for a while. Democracy is dwindling - and it is probably doomed over time. A relatively brief experiment in the context of human history
There are multiple reasons for this. Just one is the greater ability of autocracies to make difficult long term decisions
Stop it. It is most unnerving when you make a point that is both controversial and correct for once. It really makes me wonder if I have got it wrong.
I’m doing a Gazette piece about it. So you’ll be able to luxuriate in the unnervingness at even greater length
Right. Fuck the “Tien Shan foothills and canyons”. Most boring place on earth. It’s Gooly Archypoo on the car stereo and back to places that understand “gin”
If you combine that with Applebaum's work on "The Twilight Of Democracy" and "Autocracies Inc" the article writes itself.
Knowing your prediction for AI you may already have done that, of course. 😀
Lord Sumption has a new book out on defending democracy and rule of law.
I once gave a talk on his judgment in Hughes-Holland-v-BPE Solicitors and another, a case concerning the extent of liability for professional negligence by professional advisors. I said: "At the risk of bringing on deep feelings of inadequacy and insecurity I would commend a careful reading of the whole judgment. It is a magisterial piece of work. "
He writes with the extraordinary clarity of the truly brilliant. This, of course, does not mean that he is right all the time, especially when he goes beyond his own competence in the law into more political matters. But he really isn't someone who you have to puzzle what he really means. I have a pile of unread books right now but I am seriously tempted.
I know lawyers live on a different plane in terms of prolixity, but that judgement from the word "Introduction" to the end of para 19 is 3,524 words long. That's nearly two whole Ydoethurs.
Cracking stuff though. Just like @ydoethur, natch.
I read it too. Do you know why the complaint against the actual fraudster himself failed? Taking money which you claim is investment, but you actually use to pay off an existing charge against the property, effectively funneling it directly to yourself, must be criminal surely?
Firstly, I am not sure it was fraud. When someone buys into a development reducing the existing debt is often a sensible use for the money reducing costs going forward. The problem here was that the investment was not enough to both do that and fund the development to completion. Even after the investment the project remained so seriously under capitalised that it could not succeed. That is a very bad judgment call by the person making the investment but I don't think it is fraud unless warranties that that was not the case were given.
Secondly, since the scheme was a complete failure the "fraudster" was almost certainly not worth suing. The tendency to sue professional advisors comes from the fact that they have insurance. This, and other decisions from the Supreme Court, have tried to restrict the inherent sympathy of the courts towards someone who has clearly suffered a loss and who wants it back off someone insured. In the long run this benefits everyone because it should reduce the overheads of those advisors who pay for that insurance. But there will inevitably be some hard luck stories along the way.

Well, it was arguably a loan not an investment, right? He was to be paid the £200000 back plus a fixed £70000 "interest" at a fixed point in time. Though I suppose since he wasn't a registered bank or moneylender it has to be considered an investment? The question of whether we believe him when he says he didn't know the money was to be used to pay off a loan is a matter of fact rather than law I would have thought.

I don’t think anyone, apart from the professional wokers, would be upset if he had a nasty accident in jail.
I think that Trump is going to be impeached after the midterms when the Democrats take the House (80% probability) but not convicted by the Senate unless the Democrats also take the Senate (30% probability).

It's quite a while since I read the New Testament - but that doesn't really chime with what I remember the overall message being.
I think that Trump is going to be impeached after the midterms when the Democrats take the House (80% probability) but not convicted by the Senate unless the Democrats also take the Senate (30% probability).
It is all but impossible for Trump be convicted by the Senate, because that requires 67 votes.
Currently, the Democrats (including indoDems, Sanders and King) have 47.
Therefore, the Democrats would need to *gain* 20 Senate seats at the midterms.
There are 35 Senate races (33 regular and 2 special). But the Democrats already hold 13 of these. So there are 22 Republican seats up for election.
*IF* the Democrats were to win every single one, that would get them to 69.
But that would require them to win not just plausible (but difficult) States - like Alaska, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio - but also deep Red ones like:
Arkansas Alabama Kansas Montana Idaho Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi West Virginia Wyoming and Oklahoma
I mean: is it possible in a wave year that Kansas or Montana went Blue? Sure: but to get 67 seats in the Senate would require the Republicans to only hold two states.
And I think that is unlikely to the point of near impossibility.

I was faintly remembering HY as a Christian. It seemed like a rather un-Christian thought - even to project onto others.
Incidentally, as we build up to Easter there is some news on Canterbury, which I haven't seen discussed (although I have been busy so I may have missed it).
Graham Ussher is out of the running. He has agreed to serve on the CNC which rules him out.
As the clear front runner and the best candidate available, that makes some difference to the betting.
The frontrunner now should probably be Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester.
However - my money would actually be on a deadlock and no appointment at least this year.
Absolutely NOT.
Snow is an evangelical and you CANNOT have an evangelical like Snow following an evangelical like Welby as the Anglo Catholic wing of the C of E would correctly go mad. The pattern is always Catholic followed by evangelical eg Catholic Runcie - evangelical Carey - Catholic Williams - evangelical Welby etc to respect the fact the C of E is a Catholic but Reformed church.
Personally I would go for the Bishop of Chelmsford if Ussher is out, Parish and safeguarding focused, less political than Welby, from a family that had to flee Iran after the revolution and a woman. After the dodgy safeguarding record of some male priests and bishops and after 10 years of women Bishops in the C of E it is time for a woman Archbishop of Canterbury
+ Guli is very definitely good news, would be a good Utility Christian for the Nation, and was far enough from the omnishambles to deal with it with clean hands. But I'm not sure she totally stops the Anglo-Catholics going mad. Or madder than they are most of the time.
The main thing is that ++Canterbury is a terrible job that breaks the people who take it on. I'm probably looking to exclude the Bishop of Chelmsford because I like her too much.

The main thing is that ++Canterbury is a terrible job that breaks the people who take it on. I'm probably looking to exclude the Bishop of Chelmsford because I like her too much.
The liberal Catholics would certainly welcome her, they would not welcome Snow. The few remaining conservative Anglo Catholics who reject women priests and bishops and haven't gone to Rome wouldn't but they are much smaller than they were before ordination of women in the C of E.
Rowan Williams survived Canterbury quite well so it can be done
I am appalled by the attack of three brave officers at HMP Frankland today. My thoughts are with them and their families.
The police are now investigating. I will be pushing for the strongest possible punishment. Violence against our staff will never be tolerated.
The strongest possible punishment being imprisonment? Hmm.
Meanwhile, if he threw boiling oil over them, perhaps it is time to revisit the guidelines on who can work in prison kitchens.
They could put him in solitary confinement. It seems somewhat justified in the circumstances.
Just execute him. Enough. He killed dozens of young girls. He’s 100% guilty. He’s now injuring more
Hang him
He is serving a 55 year jail sentence anyway
Which, from the prison officer's point of view, is a nightmare because they simply have no means to control him and he can take any opportunity given to hurt more people. I mean, not giving him access to hot oil seems the start of a plan but how do you manage someone like that? Just imagine going to work every day supervising a psychopath like that with absolutely nothing to lose. It's not a job I would fancy.
People want long sentences for monsters like this, and rightly so, but boy do we create a problem for the Prison Service.
Just put him in solitary for 6 months, they have done it for Tommy Robinson for much less
And then? For the next 54 years?
The Israelis put their worst terrorists and murderers in solitary cells underground and never let them out until they are dead
It's quite a while since I read the New Testament - but that doesn't really chime with what I remember the overall message being.
I am not completely up on this religion thing but I don't think that the Israelis are particularly up on the New Testament. I'm pretty sure that was the point of it all.
Yes that is one thing Netanyahu and Mossad don't need to worry about, they believe in the eye for an eye vengeful God of the Old Testament without needing to bother with the message of compassion and forgiveness of Jesus Christ and the NT as they don't believe he is Messiah. Indeed even Muslims believe in Jesus as Messiah more than Jews do

Doesn't sound as though it's only to do with helping people with spinal injuries and Parkinson's...

I think that Trump is going to be impeached after the midterms when the Democrats take the House (80% probability) but not convicted by the Senate unless the Democrats also take the Senate (30% probability).
It is all but impossible for Trump be convicted by the Senate, because that requires 67 votes.
Currently, the Democrats (including indoDems, Sanders and King) have 47.
Therefore, the Democrats would need to *gain* 20 Senate seats at the midterms.
There are 35 Senate races (33 regular and 2 special). But the Democrats already hold 13 of these. So there are 22 Republican seats up for election.
*IF* the Democrats were to win every single one, that would get them to 69.
But that would require them to win not just plausible (but difficult) States - like Alaska, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio - but also deep Red ones like:
Arkansas Alabama Kansas Montana Idaho Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi West Virginia Wyoming and Oklahoma
I mean: is it possible in a wave year that Kansas or Montana went Blue? Sure: but to get 67 seats in the Senate would require the Republicans to only hold two states.
And I think that is unlikely to the point of near impossibility.
Montana had a Dem senator until this year, of course, although I appreciate he was very much an outlier. As was the formerly Dem senator in West Virginia.

Which means Elon Musk will need to have lost all interest in politics (because otherwise you are lose the next election in the primaries before you even get started)
And voters have decided on mass to vote Democrat..

I don’t think anyone, apart from the professional wokers, would be upset if he had a nasty accident in jail.
Which is why it’s immoral for the state not to execute him.
I wouldn’t exclude the accident being that nasty.
I was wondering about a new job in the kennels. Along side that chap Ramsay.

HYUFD is a dick-head who thinks that Putin's Russia is a democracy.
MAGA supporters are funny people. So I do a video critical of the Lord Musk. But I say - and I have been consistent on this one- that he didn’t do a Nazi salute. I go further, suggesting that the people who screech on about it have an agenda. Ok, I then say that although I don’t think he’s a Nazi, some of his friends are. And then show him talking to the AfD conference.
What have I just had? A guy ranting on about how I have bought into a MSM frenzy about him doing a Nazi salute.
Yeah. Haven’t watched my video, but outraged by it. Like Kemi and Adolescence. Very angry that I said a thing despite me saying the literal opposite. Methinks some of them are absolutely paranoid. Going practically puce ranting about how the world is conspiring against them.
My wife is currently doing her Yougov and there is a question about the nationalisation of British Steel. 28% strongly in favour, 29% somewhat in favour at the moment. 33% don't know and no opposition to talk of. This is ongoing so these are not final figures but it is very unusual to see something quite so close to unanimous.

They don't need to fall
They just need to vote to get rid of Trump, and by then it will probably be in their interest to do so

But that would require them to win not just plausible (but difficult) States - like Alaska, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio - but also deep Red ones like:
Arkansas Alabama Kansas Montana Idaho Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi West Virginia Wyoming and Oklahoma
I mean: is it possible in a wave year that Kansas or Montana went Blue? Sure: but to get 67 seats in the Senate would require the Republicans to only hold two states.
And I think that is unlikely to the point of near impossibility.
Montana had a Dem senator until this year, of course, although I appreciate he was very much an outlier. As was the formerly Dem senator in West Virginia.
And it's entirely possible, in a year when the Republicans do particularly poorly, and the Dems put up some sensible centrists, that a few of those fall.
What is not particularly plausible is for 20 of 22 Republican held Senate seats to fall at the midterms.
It is all but impossible for Trump be convicted by the Senate, because that requires 67 votes.
Currently, the Democrats (including indoDems, Sanders and King) have 47.
Therefore, the Democrats would need to *gain* 20 Senate seats at the midterms.

The GOP essentially is MAGA. It's way more than a 'dalliance'.
MAGA supporters are funny people. So I do a video critical of the Lord Musk. But I say - and I have been consistent on this one- that he didn’t do a Nazi salute. I go further, suggesting that the people who screech on about it have an agenda. Ok, I then say that although I don’t think he’s a Nazi, some of his friends are. And then show him talking to the AfD conference.
What have I just had? A guy ranting on about how I have bought into a MSM frenzy about him doing a Nazi salute.
Yeah. Haven’t watched my video, but outraged by it. Like Kemi and Adolescence. Very angry that I said a thing despite me saying the literal opposite. Methinks some of them are absolutely paranoid. Going practically puce ranting about how the world is conspiring against them.
They lack basic comprehension skills.

They could put him in solitary confinement. It seems somewhat justified in the circumstances.
Just execute him. Enough. He killed dozens of young girls. He’s 100% guilty. He’s now injuring more
Hang him
He is serving a 55 year jail sentence anyway
Which, from the prison officer's point of view, is a nightmare because they simply have no means to control him and he can take any opportunity given to hurt more people. I mean, not giving him access to hot oil seems the start of a plan but how do you manage someone like that? Just imagine going to work every day supervising a psychopath like that with absolutely nothing to lose. It's not a job I would fancy.
People want long sentences for monsters like this, and rightly so, but boy do we create a problem for the Prison Service.
Just put him in solitary for 6 months, they have done it for Tommy Robinson for much less

Fear of Musk will have diminished since he got his arse handed back to him in Wisconsin the other week.
Not yet it won't - Musk may not help the Republicans win the election, he currently probably still has the power to make sure you aren't the Republican candidate after the primary..
Though given that Trump really likes tariffs and Musk really doesn't, there must be a chance that Musk decides to destroy the Donald.
Whether that helps Trump or hinders him, I'm not sure.

The interesting bit there is the current ban on export of the highest end computer chips to China.
I could easily see China deciding to issue a requirement for additional custom checks for such products where said checks add a lot of time while requesting export restrictions be removed..

How do you know? Tariffs have only been on a week or so, if more US goods are bought and US production expands some rustbelt jobs may come back.
Yes if you buy a lot of imports it will be costly but Trump is doing what he campaigned to do and global tariffs still are there at 10% and more for China with a few exemptions

Even Leviticus - 19:18 - suggests otherwise.
Exodus 21:23-27
Plus Deuteronomy 32:35:
"Dear Conrad: Thank you for your letter. Praise the Lord. I know you must be so happy that He chose to spare Dr. Hudson. The Big Guy moves in mysterious ways, don't He? It just so happens I'm awaiting the arrival of a pair of genuine Helen Hudson undies... signed personal to me. A real collector's item, I'm sure you know. They're yours. But don't forget, a disciple must be strong... if he is to succeed where others fail. Peter strayed from the path and the Lord smote him good. So keep it simple. Then glory is yours... and "vengeance is mine", as the Good Book says. I know you'll get my meaning. Happy hunting, partner. Daryll Lee Cullum."
I think that Trump is going to be impeached after the midterms when the Democrats take the House (80% probability) but not convicted by the Senate unless the Democrats also take the Senate (30% probability).

There might have been more corruption in the final years of the Roman republic, maybe. Since then, this administration is special.
The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day Catechism para 841.
Most Anglicans who think about it will hold a similar view and try, often without entire success, to avoid simplistic nonsense about Islam, atheists or anyone else.
Secondly, since the scheme was a complete failure the "fraudster" was almost certainly not worth suing. The tendency to sue professional advisors comes from the fact that they have insurance. This, and other decisions from the Supreme Court, have tried to restrict the inherent sympathy of the courts towards someone who has clearly suffered a loss and who wants it back off someone insured. In the long run this benefits everyone because it should reduce the overheads of those advisors who pay for that insurance. But there will inevitably be some hard luck stories along the way.
So let’s just get this crystal clear.
If somebody is trying to manufacture a laptop in the U.S., the components that they import are going to be tariffed at 145%.
But if somebody simply makes the laptop entirely in China, they are fully tariff free?
And this is all to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.?
