I think you're confusing Christianity and wokeness. Our true goalposts have not moved in thousands of years. It's people like you that change goalposts and then fall to the ground and cry when true Christians stand true to their faith. To better explain, you(and most of the people on this forum) don't have a problem that Christians move goalposts, just the opposite. You have a problem that we're not willing to move those goalposts. Just relax man, if what YOU believe is right, and what I believe is totally wrong and silly, it wouldn't have cost you anything at all. Me on the other hand, would have wasted A LOT of time. Hakuna Matata and all those nice things.

Your forgetting nearly every major Christian festival is a rip off of a pagen one just to make things simpler to convert the local heathens. Christmas, Easter, all saints day. Even the lord's prayer "Our Father" is a reference to the "All father" who in Anglo-Saxon religion was Woden (Odin in Norse)

Christianity hasn't just moved goal posts it's manipulated older religious beliefs to prosper and done a pretty good job of it to be fair.
 
Jesus wouldn't be woke if born today. He'd be in charge of a billion dollar organisation that puts the Royal family to shame. It would be called the Catholic church.

People would then moan he's born into weath, and an undemocratic unelected head.

None of that reflects who he supposedly was back then.

Wasn't born into wealth.
Was essentially a leader of a small religious cult.

He'd more likely be comparable Charles Manson than Elon Musk

I'm just surprised it was the UK that blinked first. Its been clear form the start and during that any competitions authority was going to have severe misgivings about the merger.
Especially as Microsoft Games Division has had developers stop support of other hardware platforms after their acquisition.

BBC News - Bank of England economist says people need to accept they are poorer

god this guy is such a *******. Proper "know your place peasants and be grateful about it" energy. So on the one hand we have a government trying to feed us the tripe that things are going well and on the other we have this arsehole saying we simply need to accept being poorer.

Attempting to turn demands for wages rises from a response to inflation into a cause of it is disgusting. Everyone knows inflation has not been driven by wage rises.

Here's a novel idea, how about businesses and investors accept that they might not make as much profit or return on their investment?

He's probably got his own investments to worry about.

There is of course a serious point.

The Bank of England is wrong again: workers aren’t to blame for inflation | James Meadway

Why should we ‘accept we’re worse off’, when corporate greed and global shortages are really to blame, asks James Meadway of the Progressive Economy Forum

And why this BOE economist and Andrew Bailey are talking out of their arses.
 
Almost certainly a staff member that used last year's template and just didn't proof read it.

Why on earth would you tell your own voters (noone else is reading that leaflet) not to bring id... Clearly it was a mistake, not a grand conspiracy

Definitely not a grand conspiracy, but more evidence of the absolute farce that voter ID is. A sledgehammer for a microscopic issue that was never needed. A policy that is designed to limit the votes of poorer people. On top it's been badly implemented and advertised so that many voters will be turned away. Then on top you've got this misinformation. Whole thing is another bad joke by an incompetent government.
 
I'm assuming voter fraud is no more of an issue in Europe than it is here. What i don't understand is why the UK is the exception rather than the rule. With most other countries requiring voter ID / national ID cards. Have France / Germany got it wrong and they have no real requirement for voter ID.

Or is it an issue of implementation and ill thought out planning here. Likely to impact poorer / younger voters that historically would vote Labour. Whilst older conservative voters will hold driving licences, passports etc. Disproportionately impacted Labour at the ballot box.

Surely the arguements for not having voter ID / national identify cards can be made in Europe as well. Unless voter fraud is a real issue there.

But they do have national ID cards on the continent.
Which means that literally everybody of voting age has a valid form of photo ID, and carries it with them at all times, so requiring that ID to vote isn't suppressing anyone's vote.

We don't have national ID cards, which means that not everyone has a valid form of photo ID, which means that requiring it means that some people eligible to vote can't vote.

This. I think if you require ID to vote then that should be a form of national ID card that is free and readily available. As soon as you start putting a cost or logistical constraint on the requirements to vote or being able to vote, you are engaging in voter suppression.
