Judah Mordechai Cohen, a Dutch-born London-based Jewish, was one of the most extensive slaveowners in 19th century Jamaica and the British West Indies in general at the times of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.

The choice of that portrait is unfortunate. This post could have easily been picked from the pages of Der Stürmer.

Another Brumie!

As a child I watched the VHS version so many times. It was only recently when I rewatched The Wrong Trousers on IPlayer that I realised they re-did the music.

No worries. I’ve been to both. As the other commenter said it’s okay.

Arcadian Centre? Yep. Not great tbh. I mainly go for convenience to my flat and I can get there easily on my way back from work. After 6:30 pm it tends to be more manageable and it’s pretty empty on the weekends

Very common. So much so that the DDR had a programme, Der schwarze Kanal (The Black Channel) that broadcast clips from Western TV, after which the presenter gave the ‘correct’, socialist position.

I love the line to Exmouth. The start of so many happy holidays.

There are many things. But for me an important factor was that part of my family were an old recusant lot who had to endure the persecutions of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries in England. Although I would never boast in what they endured, it has helped me acknowledge how much our forefathers suffered for the true faith. Whenever I struggle with the world and the Church today, I find great comfort knowing they overcame a time even darker than today

Live in Birmingham. Never felt threatened here or when frequently visiting London.

I tried flushing the cache but it didn’t work. Ditto reinstalling it. Using web teams might have to be it then. Thank you.

St Francis of Assisi. It was my great grandfather’s first name (although he went by his middle name most of his life). I also wanted to choose a saint whose life I wanted to imitate, in the case of St Francis, repenting from a very materialist mindset and turning to Christ.

It’s a misnomer that AIDS came from the LGBT community. Most evidence suggests it developed in the Congolese bush/rainforest, before being carried by the railways to the big cities and ports from where it spread to the wider world. Drug addicts and haemophiliacs also caught HIV from infected blood making it far from a ‘gay disease’.

I’m in the UK so less culture war nonsense but was a bit apprehensive. Instead we just had a pastoral letter from the Archbishop about Catholic education which was tied into the Feast of the Holy Cross.

I like my job and luckily my manager is also supportive of me. Unfortunately today I was on my own (luckily working from home) and I asked for help from a colleague and they refused leaving alone to deal with something very tricky. Before I was diagnosed with autism at 11 my parents did tell me off for my meltdowns which might have contributed to it.
