My former local church burned down:

Europe is losing a lot of historic churches recently:
https://www.catholicnewsagency.c…- God works in mysterious ways.palimpsest
- The houses along that street are worth £20m+ and have those super deep basements etc. I'm sure a local whip around will soon yield a sizeable kitty.shapesalad
- To rebuild the roof with. Or it becomes a mosque.shapesalad
- you may as well just say it, shape.Fax_Benson
- Thoughts and prayers?shapesalad
- Say the line, shape!palimpsest
- war on christmaszardoz
- the danes arrived!!!oey_oey
- ok.. "the line".shapesalad
- Built in 1846, survived being bombed in 1941. Grade II listed. The organ sounded awesome, sadly gone.shapesalad
- Not religious myself, but churches are in a world of houses+shops & offices. We need non commercial local places to gather, not revolving around beer or sports.shapesalad
- That are welcoming and for the benefit of locals, especially elderly.shapesalad
- I met some lovely Ukrainians there when we had a fundraiser after the war started.shapesalad
- Not only do they benefit the elderly but also the young.palimpsest

Anyone got any good recommendations on areas near around London to live in?
Really heart stricken but i'm looking to move out from her. Extended my contract for one last year and going to look to move out somewhere cheaper where I can actually save money.
Spent my life here and always felt a bond but "she's" no longer the London I knew, I'm genuinely heart broken about this.
#tearyeyed
Never really enjoyed North London/M25 way but does anyone have any good recommendations on places to move to? I'm thinking of East Sussex/Kent way. Grandfather lived Virgina Waters but I don't have that sort of money he did but loved that landscape.
I feel like a victim of abuse in waiting for their loved one to change ;-S

Yeah, disrupt public transport, make people use cars or take detours, causing more pollution...
Offer up some Butterkist in it's plastic packaging:
Spray some graffiti from an aerosol can:
Why don't they instead use their brains, become super educated, stand for election and using their brains, convince the public to vote for them to help implement policy change to help climate issues?
Oh no wait...
Easier to wear Nike trainers, ugly polyester mixed socks and get yourself arrested for protesting in a way that pisses off the public:
- The virtue signalling elite.Morning_star
- Its actually a massive viral PR stunt by Sony to promote the reboot of Rockstar's classic PS2 game ....
https://www.youtube.…Bluejam - yeah but their instagram feeds will look great.hans_glib
- as the sun grows and swallows the earth, what's the point in 'saving the earth', and worrying about climate change, it's just delaying the inevitable.shapesalad
- might as we enjoy gas guzzling cars and long haul flights, imported goods and petrol powered lawn mowers.shapesalad

- eh, does that mean your life of apathy is worth 2,999,000 years of humanity?PeterPancake
- i hate arguments like this. there is NO ethical consumption under capitalism, so anyone who fights against it is automatically easy to label as hypocriticalcolin_s
- good on these ER folks.colin_s
- I think you could shorten that to "there is no ethical consumption" and thereafter "humanity is inherently unethical" and be done with it.Nairn
- Not sure where that leaves anyone usefully though.Nairn
- Mother earth is doing fine for millions of years, humanity "need" to be saved, or not. We are such arrogant cunts.ApeRobot
- One of the women protesting has been an environmental lawyer for 25yrs.

For people in USA, rest of world etc... this is how we live in London:
Every guy is gentleman and behaves like that... yep, it's the shocking truth.
We all wear suits, go to barbers for our morning shave.. It's just how you imagine.
