It's definitely NOT a church, of any kind. It is a dangerous cult, and should be avoided at all costs.

So proud of the light blues, 50 years after my own matric there, and with my former maths pupil, Luca Ferraro, as President of CUBC!

Oh Americans, what have you unleashed upon the world?

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

Appalling reporting from Sarah Smith of BBC News tonight - why should President Zelensky 'defer' to bullies Trump & Vance? Europe must back Ukraine unequivocally.

Anyone up for a spreadsheet? #eduknit #educrochet Think this has lots of edu. potential beyond the beanie hat! www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
