And Farage took his oath on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition?

Rupert Lowe planning on using the Necromicon next time?

I don't see A Demon Haunted World in the list.

Every inch of her is a disgusting psychopathic hypocrite.

All 16 people who bought her book might have read about this

Racism runs deep

I love how this looks like Starmer swore in on his own face

'Professor' Goodwin would respond with the now very lame 'I am only asking questions'.

He is not a professor anymore.

His own book, of course. Well, when I say his own… bylinetimes.com/2026/03/23/m...

Edward Oakenfull, a Restore member and local election candidate, who was suspended by Farage during BBC Question Time as a Reform general election candidate - after his prejudiced quotes were read out on TV, questions the loyalty of an MP who swears an oath on the book of their faith

He's just putting out a clarion call (not a dog whistle because we can all hear it loud and clear) to the racist Reform faithful. It's so pathetic and predictable.

He ate his hypothetical choice

He'd probably swear on the Ladybird Book of Racist Tropes.

Mr Goodwin is a ex Professor. Like the parrot in Monty Python, Mr Goodwin’s Professorship is dead, no more, kaput. He is no more a Professor than I am the Angel Gabriel (& I can assure you I am not👍😄). A title of “Professor” can give a societal status of learning&knowledge - false in this instance🥹👇

Is he stupid, or disingenuous?

Meanwhile in Scotland...🙄 👇 bsky.app/profile/yuno...

I like that we accommodate this diversity of beliefs.

Whatever they swear oaths on, they are few and far between that keep them.

Tbf the 'controversy' was manufactured by Matt Goodwin. The haunted scream of an anus with perpetual diarrhea.

Braverman's a Buddhist? Does she understand any of it?

As long as they remember, not to base actual decisions on mythology.

She’s a Buddhist? OK. I am triple titted tortoise God from the Moon of Titan.

I've never heard of any memes around the Dhammapada bursting into flames, but i wouldn't have been surprised.

Disappointing!

Presumably in Scotland you could say 'so help me god' while thinking of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Personally, I'd want to use a copy of Mr Bump.

A friend once did a dissertation on Bubbism. No - one noticed the spelling typo! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😜

Something ironic about that though

And nor should there be

It may be buddhism but not as I know it.

No, their behaviour also makes most of them terrible Christians. Think it's just not so common for me to see a terrible Buddhist get so far in UK politics ... Sad to see whatever the belief system being blatantly trampled on by those who claim it as their own.

And yet, I hear that historically Jews were better off under Islam than in Christian regimes. And you get to do special pleading for "Jesus cancelled it" but Muslims are not allowed to quote hadiths. I call that special pleading.

Islam is the Man - Mohammed - and the Book - the Koran The Man beheaded the men and boys(6-800) of two captive Jewish tribes and sold the women and girls into slavery - to get more weapons and horses. According to tradition he owned a sword "Zulfiqar" - spine splitter Not exactly meek and mild

So, we can ignore the OT?

Then take it out.

One could refer to the “professor” as a shit stirring weasel and one would not be incorrect.

Some people hold musical theatre to be sacred, as is their right.

But it's the most learned, and beautiful Suella, come on!

Goodwin.... Just an embarrassing racist loser

One’s oath should not be questioned without evidence that the oath-taker is prone to break oaths. Books on which they’re taken are window dressing or personal psychological reminders and should be ignored entirely by everybody else, unless they’re uniquely perfidious, like Mein Kampf.

Boris Johnson swore on the King James Bible. A few months later, he swore on the Jerusalem Bible that he had always been a Catholic (to nullify his first marriage).

It’s a rather archaic and pointless oath. I’m less interested in their allegiance to the Crown than I am in wanting them to act honestly, in good faith and in furtherance of the well being of the country. The oath should contain clear requirements along these lines.

Recently, a juror took an oath on water from the river on which they lived. (Good for him - we more people to declare their faith in Nature, not their preferred choice of a god) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yes - saw them on my visit - all faiths or simply affirmation. As it should be. 😊

Congratulations on your citizenship.

Plus if something says "Christian" I immediately suspect some sort of Evangelic nowadays...some CoE say it too, I know.

A good half or more of the "God" group were POC..of various origins and faiths. PS: I used to go to church, I grew up rather loosely Catholic, then I figured out I did not have a faith, I just loved to sing in the choir..

Sadly, the woman has never opened the book.

No, there is if you are right wing and therefore anti Muslim

Braverman is Buddhist? Let's hope Karma means that she is reborn into the Realms of Hell.

Is everyone really sure she was sworn in rather than sworn at xx

Damn, there is no Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Sorry, people, that's me out; I can't become an MP now.

They forget their history is still sloshing around somewhere

Where is the constitution?

You can be excluded from a sangha but excommunication doesn’t exist in Buddhism.
