It is a truth that must be universally acknowledged that Christianity as a cultural influence has inspired some of the most profound art, music and architecture ever created. One need only look at York Minster, wander around any of the great art galleries of the world or hear Bach to know this. Indeed this cultural [...]

Culture of Death
My wife mentioned this to me this morning. My first thought was that “Culture of Death” were a metal band from the ’80s. I even pondered whether a couple of school chums of mine (I knew a lot of metallers back then) might have had an album but I was dead wrong…
A leading adviser to [...]
Catholic Priorities
Well we all know about the cover-ups of sexual abuse over decades we thought it couldn’t get any worse…
But wait it does. It would appear the Catholic church is happy to collude with the British government to cover-up terrorist priests.
Oh, well, at least on his up-coming visit you won’t be able to take a [...]
Soviet Contraception
I think one of the biggest lies that “the left” get away with is that folks on “the right” are sexually retarded. Well I’m neither on “the right” (however that is defined) or sexually repressed. Me, three goats and a crate of Buckfast and it’s par-tay time!
My point here is a blow to Shelob’s soft [...]
Taliban
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes this in the Daily Mail…
… and I agree with it!
Time to head for the hills with a technical and a shot-gun and phone that Mormon fellow I used to know on the subject of canned goods! Actually best not do that - he’d only say, “Told you so!”. Just ram-raid Tesco [...]
Just Like Robin Hood
He murdered an innocent man and badly injured two other people, but sick web users yesterday swamped Facebook to heap PRAISE on Raoul Moat.
Facebook - I always knew there must be a reason for it.
Around 12,000 have joined the site set up in the killer’s memory and hundreds of messages of support have been [...]
Organ donation
The surgeon profits, the team profits, the nurses profit, the hospital profits, the ambulance drivers profit, everyone involved profits, even the patient, but with one single exception – the donor is forbidden by law from profiting.
Why is it so? Why is the donor, the one who is giving the most, singled out to be the [...]
The Contented Parents
This had a two page spread in Absolutely Fabulous the Style Section of The Sunday Times. My wife likes the crosswords - what can I say? I am quoting it entire with my comments in [brackets]. I have also bolded and italicised bits. It’s truly awesome wank. It starts from the next paragraph…
It is now [...]
Puritan Seeks Rent
More puritanical rent seeking reared its ugly head today, as oligarch Terry Leahy, boss of Tesco, called for more temperance laws including his pet favourite, price controls, in collaboration with chief temperance nutter Don Shenker, of course.
The selfish benefits Terry gets from this are obvious, but worth enumerating. He gets more money from selling beer [...]

Pornogeddon
“Hi! Honey I’m Home!”
“Hard day at the office?”
“Very hard.”
A senior attorney at the SEC’s [Securities and Exchange Commission - pronounced "sex"? - Ed] Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography. When he ran out of hard drive space, he burned the files to CDs or DVDs, which he [...]
You’re only making it harder for yourselves!
The Catholic Church seems to have picked up a trick from a recent convert. Just like the Labour Party nothing is ever their fault…
The Pope’s right-hand man has blamed homosexuals for the clerical abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, while denying any connection between paedophilia and priestly celibacy.
Speaking on a visit to Chile, [...]
My Contempt Is Absolute.
The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have attacked the Labour Party for sending “alarmist” literature to cancer patients, and called for an inquiry into whether NHS databases had been used to identify recipients.
The row erupted after Labour sent cancer patients mailshots saying that their lives may be at risk under a Conservative government.
Andrew Lansley, the [...]
Moral Relativity
Nick says everybody else has had a go and the B&B saga. I’m going to disagree with him on that point, because I haven’t. And I’m going to disagree a bit more, in a friendly sort of way, because we don’t do group think here and we’re allowed to do that sort of thing.
Or at [...]
