The Conservatives have claimed Good Friday

Twitter can be a supportive place.

Caroline Flack found it otherwise RIP

The Queen's on Twitter. Does she know its a cess pit?

She could always chat to Attenborough about it

Is that the best you can do?

I'm sure you don't believe that the Queen is sat there updating her Twitter feed. Same for Mr. Attenborough

You obviously have no idea of the extent of racial abuse on Twitter.

Just do some research.

When was the green and yellow one posted Jane? Is it 2021 or just an old stock image?

It is incongruous Smileless and that bothers me a bit. I am a Christian and in that vein will wait and see what gets posted tomorrow.
On the other hand I'm not sure I am over bothered what others do. Live and let live.

Well said Jane!

It isn't wishing anyone a happy Good Friday, it's acknowledging that yesterday was Good Friday. For some the cross is in itself offensive as it was a form of torture.

I'm not a Conservative but I am a Christian and don't find it offensive.

Blimey I'd want something to argue over {shock] rolls eyes too.

I would never wish anyone a Happy Good Friday, but would wait until Easter Sunday. That is when we give our Easter eggs because in the church tradition that day celebrates new life. I find the poster somewhat distasteful, it gets it entirely wrong.
Having said that we have got so used to visual pop up messages of all sorts over the past year that this one just gets filed in the bin along with all the other rubbish.

I’ll just leave this here.....perhaps we should leave the politicians to their dirty point scoring and cultural appropriation and let them get on with it.

Twitter has 300 million users. I agree it can be a cesspit and can be deeply problematic but we cant just pretend Twitter isnt important.

Twitter can and does ruin people's lives.

^I'm no fan but something posted on Twitter doesn't really mean very much. It is somewhat of a cesspit^

Yes it does.

No its not.

In that order.

You might think so

Personally I don't

It's clearly a misunderstanding of the relevance of Good Friday to Christians.

The Eid and Passover ones are acknowledging a celebration.

Zahawi has missed the point here and should have waited to post a Happy Easter meassage.

Actually, I don't find any of them offensive, even the Tory one. But the Lib Dem, Labour and Green ones are wishing people a happy....whatever.

Not just saying "Good Friday. Conservative". Subtle, actually, and not as far as I can see sanctioned by his party and hence not approved by the undoubtedly huge PR team they've got. Which is probably why it slipped through.

And as someone above pointed out I don't believe its a tradition to wish people well on Good Friday? Don't you wait until Sunday?

Interesting GrannyGravy wonder if they posted Easter greetings.

I was just wondering that, Anniebach

Exactly GrannyGravy!

He's not wishing anyone a Good Friday. Just posted something on Twitter on Good Friday.

If you abhor the government you'll pounce.

True there's some interesting people on there. But the majority aren't.

Grannygravy I saw those too.

Ouch, GrannyGravy13!

I find those equally pointless.

Does it matter if he associated Father Christmas with being conservative , surely atheists place Christ with Father Christmas

Do you find these from Twitter by the Labour Party, Liberal and Greens offensive also?
