May Lent bring you as much patience as whoever is working Bedford council's social media

@marnanel They can say they didn't create the moon but I'm going to need proof.

@jmcrookston

Oh, you're one of those people that believe in the moon are you? πŸ˜‚

@monkeyben

MY GOD HOW DEEP DOES THE BEDFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL CONSPIRACY GO?

@marnanel that is genius.

@marnanel

Hahaha! That's as good as the "we're in Wales and we're speaking Welsh" :-)

@marnanel am genuinely shocked about how openly racist and accusational the UK populous has become.
@EF @marnanel
you're assuming maggie tyers is a real human being and is from the uk

@floppyplopper @EF @marnanel

There's enough people like her in real life that it's not an unreasonable assumption.

@passenger @EF @marnanel
i'd just tell her she's not a real person and see if she blows up
@passenger @EF @marnanel
hmm, i've gone straight for the car related puns on her name when i could have assumed tyers was a reference to yiffing πŸ€”
@floppyplopper @passenger @EF @marnanel those of us of a certain generation start thinking of vehicles the moment someone says "Bedford" anyway...
@Daveosaurus @passenger @EF @marnanel
that's right, it's the law in bedford that you have to have a motor-vehicle related name

@floppyplopper @EF @marnanel

This moose did think "MAGAt Tyers", closely followed by "Maggot Tyres". I must admit.

More power to Bedford Borough Council's elbow. 3:O)>

@floppyplopper @marnanel yes and no. Mostly no. Most of it comes from observation and the underriding reasons Brexit succeeded, Reform's popularity etc. Not just meaning solely white people being racist either.
@EF @marnanel Always has been.

@lunarloony @marnanel Lunar, understand you said what you have but it is far more blatent now. Never seen so much open hostility as a norm either or self-entitlement.

Love not war.

@rey @lunarloony @marnanel pigs are pink (mostly), have curly tails (mostly) and go oink (mostly)... some even have curly hair all over.

@marnanel

Sad isn't it? There's always at least one racist nationalistic (other religious denomination) that objects to people celebrating and remembering their own religious festivals/anniversaries...

@marnanel Man, it's sad. It's 2026 and these kinds of people still exists 😭

@marnanel

That is some seriously saintly patience.

@marnanel It is, however, shocking that Bedford council's social media presence is not aware the Ramadan is set by one of several sighting committees, rather than directly by the creation of the moon.
My knowledge of current Islamic theology is insufficient to suggest which sighting committee holds for which communities. It is however probably safe to assume that Bedford Borough Council does not hold authority over the Saudi Arabia sighting committee, which is often recognized and almost always considered.
@marnanel This is the proper way to respond to fools.
@marnanel oh those Christians, always being so persecuted...
"Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago."

@Anke if I were the council, I'd be selling shirts with that on them.
@frogglin @Anke shirt, stickers, decals, bumper stickers. They need to strike while the iron is hot.
@marnanel naturally, I wonder about the timeline in which the Bedford Council *does* control the Nicaean Council and the creation of Luna. Unless that *is* our timeline. Remember, accusation == confession.
@marnanel Yes, people are actually that thick.
@marnanel It's almost as if bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand.
@marnanel This was a good laugh... I thought it was February, not May... But I really feel I have no idea about what time even is any more...

Why does the person commenting claim that Bedford Borough COuncil was talking about e-ID? There is no mention of e-ID in the original post.

@marnanel

@marnanel
What is the Council's position on the calendar reform of 1582? It's very important, the people need to know!
@marnanel This is almost a Monty Python sketch
