It is?! That's amazing!

Particularly lovely section at the end talking about food and sharing meals together. (Which, interestingly, is in some country's national nutrition guidelines, I forget which though).

Ross, you wanna come on the Bread and Rosaries podcast and talk about politics and Christianity and Green stuff?

Yeah for sure. Her depth of knowledge on the context alone was great.

Thanks! Love the Diggers and this was really fun to make! And in fact we have three other episodes on them, two immediately after this one and one (Ep.49) where I literally just read their pamphlet 'The True Levellers' Standard Advanced'. But this one is the best imho – Liv Roberge is great! 😊

I wouldn't worry – he's such a melt he'll just go with convention. Maggie was evil, but at least she had the ovaries to actually do something.

There have been a few minor reforms to the process over the years, including a process of public consultation and representatives from the worldwide Anglican communion added to the commission, but realistically it's still a really elitist process for a really elitist institution.

...except once, when Maggie Thatcher chose a different candidate for Bishop of Birmingham in 1987 because she didn't like the left-wing politics of the preferred candidate–one of many reasons she is now privatising hell.

BUT this is only by convention, not by law, so theoretically the PM could choose to give a different name to the monarch. This was easier before 2007 because up to that point the CNC gave two names with their preferred one listed first. Realistically this never actually happened though...

Wait, you're with Novara now? How did I not know this?!

Was a pleasure! Thanks for coming on! I keep meaning to get a clip for social media, but just haven't quite got to it!!! 😬

Fourteen?! 😳 Well she's looking well for it! A beauty! My mum's cat died at the age of 23. By that time she'd been completely toothless for years but still ate biscuits to the day she died! Amazes me how resilient they are!
