I’m sure I’ve said this before but that was during that brief period when we had a Tory/Lib Dem coalition, so all of those Tory voters could pretend that they weren’t quite so right-wing and that actually, they all really, really liked Nick Clegg. At that point, iirc Ruby would also have been too young to vote anyway so it’s a moot point.Not sure why I think this but didn’t she used to have a Lib Dem badge on her backpack?
This is interesting to me as I’ve heard lots of people say the same thing as Ruby!Speaking of her values, does anyone else remember her saying that shes not a Christian as in she doesn't believe in God, but saying that her morals align a lot with those of Christianity? It just stood out to me because I often hear that people believe in God but don't agree with Christian moral teachings, and for Ruby it is/was the other way around.
I bet she’d love to be spawn of Rees-Mogg.I mean, there was a whole summer she spent reading that David Cameron biography and also, more recently, that Rees-Mogg book on victorians. Usually, I'd ascribe it to intellectual curiosity but with Ruby it really sticks out of her usual repertoire of children's books and half-digested academic articles and since we know she doesn't really try to explore beyond her limits of class (unless it's a romantic tale of dickensian orphans breaking out of poverty, ofc) I'd say it aligns very well with her values. As far as I'm aware, she still hasn't intellectually acknowledged colonialism in any way so she definitely has a long way to go with her public political engagement
Definitely, I mean technically our whole society is based on the values. I just found it interesting that she also used to listen to daily sermons and read in the bible almost every day although shes not really a Christian.This is interesting to me as I’ve heard lots of people say the same thing as Ruby!
That the ideas of Christianity (golden rule for example) resonate but they don’t believe in God. I think the reason is that most religions when it boils down to it share similar ideas and so that’s why people can identify with or resonate with the ideas. They’re all moral foundations for how you should live your life. This is only to a point of course (I’m thinking more don’t murder/commit adultery/steal)
Yeah, this is one of the big signs. I don't know why anyone would suffer through those books unless they genuinely looked up to either person.I mean, there was a whole summer she spent reading that David Cameron biography and also, more recently, that Rees-Mogg book on victorians.

"somewhat upsetting" i haven't read this book (nor would i like to) but yes i would think so ????On the topic of Ruby and Christianity I was looking through Ruby's goodreads to see what she's read and stumbled upon this

As usual, her review says next to nothing about the actual content of the book. Anyway, seems an odd choice for ethics a level.
It appears to be written by a closeted gay pastor who says the Bible is clear that homosexuality is a sin and urges readers to share the gospel with gay people. Ruby...what?
I remember this photo of his kids outside their front door with matching school uniforms on. If Rubes were photoshopped into that picture she'd fit in!I bet she’d love to be spawn of Rees-Mogg.
I found the picture you mean, the resemblance is uncanny!I remember this photo of his kids outside their front door with matching school uniforms on. If Rubes were photoshopped into that picture she'd fit in!
I love how the baby's face says "I'm so done"
not me looking at this and thinking wow his kids look so much like ruby lmao it took me far too long to realise
One day we may see this on her bedroom wall
Pure nightmare fuel. The more you look the worse it gets
