Amadeus Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 52 minutes ago, Cueey Lewis And The News said: To be honest I too think it’s very disrespectful taking pictures inside a church at an official event and then banging them out on social media just for your own self publicity. It’s tactless and crass at best. Considering the church actually live streams all their services on social media I respectfully disagree. Also, this was more of a ceremony and one that only takes place, well, once I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to look to London or Rome, we don't pay taxes to them. Exactly this. Sadly our politicians find it easier just to toe the colonial line, rather than expend the effort required to update our constitutional arrangements to something even vaguely relevant in the 20th century, let alone the 21st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. I don't expect my MHKs to pray, sing carols, attend civic services or religious events. The state should not engage in, fund or promote religious activities or practices. They can go as private individuals but MHKs do have a tendency to sit at the front and wish to be noticed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe MHKs should pay that some attention be that in respect of Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or other faiths. I have no interest in farming but have no objection to MHK’s attending agricultural shows and presenting prizes to the prettiest pigs, sheep or whatever in their capacity as an MHK. Or give out prizes to primary school children on the occasion of sports day. As a private individual I’d be happy to do that but I think by virtue of the prize giver being an elected politician it does give a bit more gravitas. You say that you don’t expect your MHK to pray and attend civic services etc. With Remembrance Sunday ( Armistice Day ) around the corner I would be disappointed if my MHKs didn’t pay their respects at the planned civil services in their official capacity to commemorate those who lost their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy now.
