Great pod and loved all the comments.

Just want to thank you Abi, Jules, Natalie, Jan for checking in with me and to everyone on here that showed the love.

Iโ€™m not the only person whoโ€™s been upset by that Andrew Bridgen appreciation slot.

Thankyou again and much love to you all ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–enjoy your new book Abs ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ

Hi Trudi,

During the lockup period, when we were allowed a brief time in the open air, I met a lady out walking with her son and she said he missed playing football with his friends, so much, she worried about him. I often think of them and hope they're OK, particularly when you post.

If this was all planned, as the lack of transparency would suggest, there should be no hiding place for the likes of Hancock.

I'm amazed at the easy ride the psychopath Wankock has had so far.

I made my own placard and stood outside no. 10 just before marching for freedom. It read Matt Hancock out of control, control freak - then the video footage was released of his groping episode and he was replaced by jabit.

I was in the car with this Andrew Parker character, who pretended to be a Reform canvasser and insisted we ride with him. I told a friend, later on, he was a cross between an undertaker and a Kray minder but shrugged off the experience as I'd seen some really good people on the doorstep and answered their questions as best I could. I'm now wondering if there is an MI5 file on me, which may seem weird but I've almost certainly been biometrically recorded. Nobody seems interested in prosecuting this character but I'm expecting the merde to hit the fan when Channel 4 are investigated.

Well done. I live in hope.

Shouting from bath ๐Ÿ›€ โ€œJoe Roganโ€ haha Abs. Not listened to the Bridgen/Poulton interview I donโ€™t follow Sonia but Iโ€™ll certainly find it. So sorry Trudi was upset, love you Trudi xx โค๏ธ

Sonia certainly stirred up a storm and tbh she only has herself to blame for the tame interview with AB, letting him take control and playing the hero.

Why anyone would comment on here and then block you Abi is beyond all reason.

I do not understand why Bridgen continues to peddle the lies. Everything he has done re โ€˜Covidโ€™ is on public record. The behaviour of a true narcissist I guess.

Sheโ€™s only interested in the numbers!

She should thank me for the free publicity lmfao

My jab videos have certainly ruffled feathers regarding AB.

Good๐Ÿ‘

Sonia has lost my respect tbh

Not necessarilyโ€™beyond all reasonโ€™ Jan, as Iโ€™ve explained in my reply to Abi.

Just wanted to say Bridgen said in an interview ages ago that he had an allergic reaction to the jab and had to take antihistamine (as far as I remember).

Hayfever and hives allegedly ๐Ÿคฅ

As you asked for poems, I came across this one todayโ€ฆ

Beyond the Headlines

Then I saw the wild geese flying

In fair formation to their bases in Inchicore

And I knew that these wings would outwear the wings of war

And a manโ€™s simple thoughts outlive the dayโ€™s lying.

Donโ€™t fear, donโ€™t fear, I said to my soul.

The Bedlam of Time is an empty bucket rattled,

โ€˜Tis you who will say in the end who best battles.

Only they who fly home to God have flown at all.

Religion, Bridgen and other arresting experiences. Important topics and all potentially divisive where blame for tragedy and hardship is concerned. However we now have an opportunity to see if there is a chance of stopping, or at least slowing, the revving up of globalist power which will ensure the asset stripping and enslavement of most humans. I'm with Miri on this one and will cast my vote for a party which may be able to make a difference.

Fucking hell Abi, that's way too posh for me!

Re AB vax injuries, he told NO he had hives. Interestingly, I had hives following a flu-like episode in Oct 22 and iโ€™m not vaxxโ€™d. Had the hives on and off for circa 8 mths post-illness.

Hi Abi, Iโ€™ve only just caught up with last nightโ€™s pod (I read the transcript) and can only apologise if โ€˜blockingโ€™ you on here caused so much distress, but Substack is a very different place to Twitter so I can only ask that you donโ€™t read so much into it. I checked and realised that Iโ€™d done it when you started posting notes because somehow they were appearing in my feed and inbox. Iโ€™m sorry if you were upset at what was an innocent action on my part.

I use Substack day-to-day purely for online reading groups (note Paul Kingsnorth now runs one on here and if you want any more suggestions just ask) along with spiritual, bookish, art and nature-related posts, because there is some fantastic writing, and a generosity of spirit and sharing here that gladdens the heart daily, and after so many years of absorbing what Paul Kingsnorth calls โ€˜The Machineโ€™ itโ€™s been my salvation.

A place away from the self-destructive (for me) hurt, and the hatred and the rage.

I reconnected with Abi Daily only recently as Iโ€™ve always been interested in your willingness to share your Orthodox faith experiences, and also your love of Russia as a country....and thank you for introducing me to Father Alexander Men. Iโ€™ve invested in several of his books so I will look forward to reading more about your recent book haul, and in future Iโ€™ll skip commenting on the other content.

Lesson learned, and I hope you find a beautful peaceful place away from it all to read and think and just be. Leave the Machine to rage away at itself for a while. ๐Ÿค—

Hi Grace, thanks for your considered, heartfelt message. I'm delighted you have found Father Aleksandr through me. Nothing makes me happier than knowing he is alive in the world. A

See, I even spelt it wrong, thatโ€™s how much I have to learn!

I bought his book An Inner Step Toward God and while Iโ€™m rubbish at it all I do find such wisdom thereโ€ฆjust this morningโ€ฆ

On the Lordโ€™s Prayer he talks about how something is always gnawing at us continually until it turns into an obsession against a backdrop of anxiety and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve learned through all this. He says โ€˜we must never lose our ability to look afresh at things, at the world around us and try to take life as it comesโ€ฆto know how to push oppressive situations away from ourselves when necessary, to rise above them and become free sojourners.โ€™

I took that advice and hereโ€™s hoping you can be a โ€˜free sojournerโ€™ today with your reading. ๐Ÿค—
