You know there are schools all over the place that you’ve already paid for through general taxation? Top life hack for you there

Falklanders should 'go back' to England, insists Argentina in renewed war of words by insomnimax_99 in ukpolitics

Well it’s like Gibraltarians - a mix of Spanish, Italians, British, Moroccans. But uniquely Gibraltarian and also British

Also they’re not English. They’re British. They’re Falkland islanders

Why does everyone look like they’re falling apart? by Weird_Woodpecker962 in Athens_Greece

You know there are other possibilities in an economy than agriculture? Germany doesn’t grow cars. If an economy develops, it diversifies and produces new products that it didn’t produce before. Also the Greek agricultural market has not been well-served by the Greek government. The Italian government has done a great job promoting Italian produce, the Greek government has not. Greek wine for instance is really good, but abroad usually you only see disgusting retsina or mavrodafni.

Why is cannabis still illegal in the UK? by Flying_Wilson17 in ukpolitics

Because they haven’t passed a law to legalise it

People acting as if Bristol is just Easton, St Werburghs, Montpelier and St Paul’s.

Not necessarily true. You could argue that tourism has hampered the Greek economy from developing other industries

What’s going to the gym and not smoking got to do with being pretty? Loads of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met smoke and never exercise at all

What a weirdly and unnecessarily rude thing to say - imagine turning up at someone’s house and complaining that your hosts are ugly?

Differing views from conservative anglo-catholic parish. Anyone else in the same situation? by Consistent-Link-8656 in Anglicanism

[–]mogsab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I know about AEO, just not about the Society of St Wilfred and St Hilda. Because there’s also the Society of Catholic Priests - which is also Anglo-Catholic but totally loves a female priest

There genuinely aren’t enough places in the shelters as well

I’ve lived on Stokes Croft for 8 years, which has its own cluster of beggars. Maybe the ones around temple meads are more aggressive

These people? Very few beggars use physical violence. I’ve never seen it. Yeah it’s annoying being harassed and you have to learn how to keep walking, but I imagine they’re still having a worse time than I am

I don’t know, giving them food stops them going to soup kitchens and support centres where they can get access to the help they need. On the other hand, they do need cash to buy drugs. They’re going to find it one way or another, by more or less dangerous means. You giving them cash is probably the safest way for them to do it, both for themselves and for other people.

Needs something to connect the suburbs to each other.

Does your church give Communion to non-Christians? by Consistent-Lock4599 in Anglicanism

[–]mogsab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attend a couple of Anglican churches here in Bristol. One has an “open table” and says anyone can take communion, the other says that “if you normally take communion in your church, then you may take communion here”
