The lead story on the BBC Scotland website is the one about The Stand refusing to work with Joanna Cherry.
As said upthread, it would be marvellous if the Stand staff also thought that working with a pretend activist reverse Robin Hood character was not ok.

The Guests Gambit
The actual wording in the service is "all who so desire, in the Abbey, and elsewhere, say together:" As in, you can if you want, but you don't have to.
The reporting around it has been poor - headlines and tweets have turned what is an invitation into something that seems more like an order or a command, when really it's just the church of England's common Worship urge for congregational involvement, writ large and with more shiny hats. It's the same urge that sees the congregation being asked to promise they will pray for the newly-married couple at a wedding, or the newly-baptised baby and their family at a Christening, or the newly-confirmed at a Confirmation. Unfortunately, what is a nice gesture at a private(ish) event is something which, because it involves the State and is being broadcast on national TV, comes across as authoritarian, cultish, and frankly a bit weird.
TL;DR Big Dave MBE will probably do it while wearing all his medals and saluting, most people will go "you know what? Nah."

I can’t remember if I said this before but someone I know is going to one of the King’s garden parties 
and there are instructions about what to wear on the invitation. NO 
allowed!
Chess Jack is back! I’m glad she’s got to skip off for a long weekend away so that her dog and her son can actually enjoy themselves

Just in the middle of a quick grunk and I'm already
So she was slowly, deliciously, gently hanging out with a man every day for two years with a man whilst both Old Harold and Burger Botherer were on the scene? Right. And she now spends 2.5 hours per day playing chess with him as well as attending 67 AA meetings per week and working 470 hours per week? Right. And she's only just recently discovered this person's love of chess after spending every day for two years with him? Right. And she's retweeted her latest TOOT TOOTER mere days after breadcrumbing unaliving and needing round the clock supervision like a pathetic, attention-seeking, tantrumming human version of the crown jewels? Right.
At this point surely even the most loyal of squigs and neckdads will be
She's done more u turns than COVID era Boris Johnson. She is seriously unwell. That photo of her from the DIVA cult evening where she looked like a piranha coming up for a sliver of bait, she didn't look well there. Usually I'd feel desperately sorry for anyone this obviously unwell but she's just so nasty with it. You can be mentally unwell AND toxic and vile. If she's toot tooting again, I predict a chaos of Godzilla/Fukushima proportions. She's so full of tit.

A kid on their way to school, in school shoes and carrying a bag, probably walks at 2.5mph, maybe 3 if they're hurrying, but there's a reason Shakespeare refers to "the whining schoolboy, with his satchel/And shining morning face, creeping like a snail/unwillingly to school." Kids don't hurry to school.
Walking seven miles to school at 2.5mph would take nearly three hours. Assuming school started at 9, did her parents never stop to question why their daughter was leaving the house at 6am? Did they not wonder where she was in the three hours between school finishing at 3:30 and her falling through the door, exhausted, at 6:30pm?
She is awful. She went away to play chess. Yesterday we took the kids out for the day and literally followed them around doing the things they wanted to do, we were just the cash pigs. Its nice to have friends pet but your kid should come first.
Oh ducks sake! My early morning eyes deceived me!
The Tom Jones gif above makes me long for another:
"I just want your extra time and your........ QUICHE!"
"I just want your extra time and your........ QUICHE!"
There isn't enough of Southend for her to walk seven miles. The school would need to be somewhere in open countryside.
ETA: or possibly under the sea
That’s a really awful decision from The Stand. I work for the Civil Service, and when I’m at work, I’m paid to be impartial. This can be challenging at times but at the end of the day, I’m there on merit, to make decisions on behalf of my Secretary of State, largely in the interest of the tax paying public.
I really don’t think it’s for a few members of staff at The Stand to call the shots on this. Joanna Cherry was booked by someone who presumably works there; she’s an elected MP in Edinburgh.
Whether I share her views is irrelevant IMO, I don’t think it’s healthy to have a small group of people deciding what others should hear, in this context.
Just screenshotting the post on MN which @PoorPatrol found which confirms guest isn’t on the records
I agree. There have been a couple of protests at Edinburgh university regarding the showing of a film. In the end, it wasn't shown.
It's important that everyone has a right to discussion.
We can't just have debates with people we agree with.
I'd love to debate with guest tho. I think it would bring out my inner Mrs Merton.
I wouldn’t be surprised if “played chess for the county” was actually some kind of inter school tournament where schools from Essex and Kent competed.
Hang on... didn't she say that, during a recent lights off spell, she didn't see or speak to anyone for weeks? (Sorry for vague recollection)
Where does Check Mate-mate who she's "hung out with almost every day for the last couple of years" fit into this time warp?

The stunt hair always reminds me of this handsome fellow.
Which reminds me: what's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?
A: you can't wash your hands in a buffalo 🦬
Yeah, I played netball for my county and it was exactly that. Nothing special, not something I was particularly proud of at the time, definitely not something I’d be tweeting about as an adult.
As a kid you don’t even have to be that good at the sport in order to play for your county, and with something as niche as chess (and let’s face it, it’s not really something most kids are into so there’s hardly much competition), the main requirement for ‘playing for the county’ is that you’re actually willing to just turn up lmao.
Yes. I tried to look for it in Media, but caught a glimpse of her posing on a sideboard and felt breakfast start to move in my stomach. Had to abandon the search.
