But which Christianity? The very reason we ended up with the Hanoverians is because the original “old” Christianity (Catholicism) was unacceptable to the “new” (Protestant) Christianity brought in through the reformation.

Need to check here: My great-grandmother was Irish, so that’s me out, but then Ireland was part of UK so am I back in…??? And as for the “Christian” thing, Ant should go read the Sermon on the Mount and get back to us on how this racist twaddle squares with actual Christian teaching 🙄

That's a writing style reminiscent of a Trump effusion!

...what about William the Conqueror?

Is he aware that Christianity is an imported religion - brought to Britain by Romans (twice)?

Churchill bad, but Unity Mitford would have been OK. Got it!

He's come to the far right party very late and he's brought insufficient racism and probably the wrong coloured wine

Which school of Christian thought does Ant believe he follows?

I was wondering how often he attends worship in a Christian church...

Why does being in a building matter?

I guess it doesn’t guarantee appropriate behaviour and beliefs outside of the building. Which brings me back to my original question….

Oh it doesn't. My mum's neighbour took his family to church every Sunday. Faithfully. Then they disappeared. Some months later he was convicted of rape, child abuse & incest. I often wonder what happened to the victims & hope they came through it.

"I often wonder what happened to the victims & hope they came through it" Do you also wonder about the victims of the "religion of peace" and how they came through it?

I found this very interesting. youtu.be/FhGb7G44YUA?...

This is nauseating. Worse still, people will vote for this halfwit. Hopefully not many, but some will.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel. And of course, Kings George I, II & III

Britain was a pagan country until we were forced to be Christian 🤷‍♀️

Or indeed me. My maternal grandfather was born in Rockhampton, Queensland.

gods they really are just brain dead people.

I wonder how feels about Gurkhas?

Nor any English / British monarch between Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II

As an atheist I find the difference between what christians claim their religion is about and the way so many of them act is staggering. Give me empathy, compassion and humanity over tribalism any day

I'm not sure the Mayor of London can live in Dubai, have a criminal record, and/or have been declared banned from being a company director for failing to pay over £1m in tax?

Who is this insect anyway?

Cometh the hour, leaveth the man.

Speaking as an American, barring people who have been on Reality TV is a much better rule than whatever he's on about.

To be fair, Donald Dump and his offspring would fall foul of this rule in the US too.

you have correctly ascertained my point, but without realizing that it was my point. It is OK, it happens. But to be absolutely clear - that was what I was getting at.

Secondly, "Patriotism can not be taught" is such a massive misapprehension of how patriotism works, that I'm not sure I'd allow that man out in public without a minder. How does he think Patriotism works? Does he think he was 6 months old and thought, "Yep, I'm British." Fucking hell.
