Popery on the BBC

The BBC appear to have a religious, a catholic itch. This morning radio 4 couldn't stop talking about the impending 'thought of the day' talk by the Pope. Why do the BBC want to inflict this catholic religious mumbo jumbo on us?
Somebody at the top of the BBC must be secretly very religious to have succumbed to this catholic lobbying. Who is it? There was no mention of the thousands of people who must have 'phoned in to complain.
Priests in the catholic church have committed untold damage, and the hierarchy have consistently failed to take a firm stand against the paedophiles in their midst. The Pope is simply using the BBC to massage his and the catholic churches image.
Yuk! we don't all pay our licence fee to have our ears assaulted by religious fairy stories. We pride ourselves on living in a secular society. BBC take note!

Julian almost out.......abortion nearly in, a modicum of Winter cheer!

Julian Assange is ALMOST out on bail! fingers up to Sweden. His supporters are now planning a low tech onslaught of leaflets and posters for the streets on the 18th December - 'Project Paperstorm'. Trust it will be a great success.
The European Court of Justice has set the wheels turning, and after nearly 20 years of resistance to allowing abortions in Ireland, the Catholic Church may have to change its ways. Primitive Catholic laws prevent women from having abortions even if their lives might be put in danger from not having one. These laws were put in place by men -Priests, but many women have gladly supported them, such is the high standard of brain washing in the Catholic Church! Let's hope that this EU ruling will act as the foot in the door, the thin end of the wedge. The hypocrisy of the Catholic Church is mind blowing.

Sunday Sunday!

Another Sunday morning! Oh god! 3 hours without radio 4 because it's wall to wall religion. Then it's a choice between Paddy O'Connell on radio 4 (slightly uplifting, but over in the blink of an eye), and Andrew Marr - (no great shakes) where this morning Ms Chakrabarti - (still hanging onto the coat-tails of Liberty) is on the red couch with Mr Parrish - (super soft fake 'posh' spoken right wing tory). Incongruous mix one might think, but their thoughts almost merged as one as they tiptoed through the pages of violent, hyped, and exaggerated news stories, finding almost nothing to say. She wasn't interested in Julian Assange but managed to squeeze in a strong plea for a Rebecca somebody who is a contestant in that vile show X Factor! Makes you want to cry. Chakrabarti should have been replaced as Director of Liberty years ago, and as for Parrish he's just an olden time joke , isn't he?
Two 'decent Johns' Denholm and Major strutted their stuff from the red tub chairs, then D Alexander without a bat of an eye defended the coalition and all it stood for as if he had drunk their mantra with his mother's milk.
But, on a higher level ........ the last of the dinosaurs the birds, still circle overhead. Small flocks of pigeons rush between the chimney pots, the odd huge seagull skids to a halt on the top of one, and rooks walk about the slates on their 'wooden legs' chatting and pecking and arguing in the gutters. They are a joy to behold!

Sunday ruined by religion, and Balls, and Gove

Leaning over to switch on BBC radio 4 at c6am, and really looking forward to the tail end of the world service followed by the Today programme I am immediately reminded that today is Sunday - Ouch! and I am plunged into a temporary depression. We live in a secular society, the BBC should be both secular and neutral. But no, the establishment insist we should be pumped with the fanciful thoughts and sad gloomy music of the country's religious face. Why? If people want to follow their religion they should be given a dedicated BBC programme then they could have religion 24 hours a day, and it wouldn't have to be forced upon the rest of us (probably the majority), who don't believe in god. In state schools the same applies. Some sort of prayer/ song/or dedication must be perpetrated before commencement of lessons. Why? Who says so? In this wondrous democratic society to ask the people would be out of the question! The Church of England has always set a good example. Give a mild religious vaccine when you are young, coat it in delightful little ancient English church with some charming hymns, and hey presto! one is free from religion's yoke for ever. Get them young is every religion's watch word. Infiltrate and brain wash early because the human mind finds it very hard to break free later.
On Andrew Marr's 9am signature tv programme we were confronted with a double delight, Ed Balls and M Gove. The aggressive Balls is still poking his index finger and exclaiming 'look'! He now thinks that the anti-terror detention law for 28 days was a step too far. Well, why didn't he say so at the time? M. Gove -no more likable, should have his lower lip reduced in size.
