Cynical ban on loud-mouth
The banning of Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) announced today by the UK Home Secretary, Theresa May, is a cynical, populist attempt to ban free speech by people she simply doesn’t like. The group, led by the loud-mouthed twat Anjem Choudary, has been involved in a number of stunts such as the burning of poppies outside the Albert Hall at this time last year. (…)

End of the World
Next year is looking to be a biggie for End of the World types. With the Mayan calendar coming to the end of one of the long cycles in its mathematics the nutcases will be out in force. Some of them, of course, have already been here for years. Here’s a good overview of the way the Mayan calendar works and why the loonies are wrong.

The weather
I don’t normally comment on the weather. It is what it will be. The current warm, no hot!, spell in the UK is exceptional though. I mean 29°C is a silly temperature when tomorrow is the first day of October. It’s perhaps the warmest spell of weather we’ve had all year which is even sillier. I’m also told that it’s the warmest September since the mid-1890s which is something to ponder and may explain why the Sherlock Holmes stories I’m reading at the mo (a snip at 86p as a Kindle download) have a (…)

And yet another ‘persecuted’ Christian
These ‘persecuted’ Christians just keep coming. This one is feeling hard done by because the hospital where she works has told her she has to wear trousers while she’s delivering babies. Unfortunately, her Book of Tall Tales and Dubious Morals tells her that that’s against God’s will so she’s decided to take her employers to court. Entirely crackers.

Another ‘persecuted’ Christian
Yet another Christian is arguing that they have been persecuted and sacked just for being a Christian. There seems to be a never ending stream of people claiming to be suffering adversely because of their ‘deeply held beliefs’. (…)

Blinded for ‘witchcraft’
More religiously inspired violence and hatred, this time in India and all because the attackers were suffering money and health problems. (…)

Iranian ‘justice’
Not content with killing more people per head of population than any other country in the world Iran is now proposing to drip acid into a man’s eyes because he blinded someone else by throwing acid in her face. This is not justice. It’s revenge. (…)

Hitchins on the wedding
I’m sitting in the park with my laptop hooked up to the net through my phone, celebrating the Windsor-Middleton wedding by not celebrating it. I managed to find a pub with no TV to have breakfast and am now having coffee while watching the ducks. The streets may be almost empty but there are quite a few people in the park. Seems that not everyone is taken in by this expensive soap opera. (…)

Outrageous policing
The police commander in charge of policing Friday’s Windsor-Middleton wedding has made what I see as some outrageous decisions about the police role. (…)

‘Much loved’ church empty. Pardon?
Christopher Booker in the Torygraph bemoans the lack of an Easter service in his ‘much loved’ local church. This is, he says, because the Easter services at three local parishes have been combined into one due to a shortage of churchgoers. It rather strikes me that he’s not thought this through — either the church is ‘much loved’ and is full of worshippers or it’s empty because not enough people want to go there: in which case it can’t be that much loved. (…)

Pray for the leeches
The Archbishop of Canterbury, a Man With a Beard who actually has a beard, has asked the nation to pray to his God for the main participants in the forthcoming Windsor-Middleton wedding which the media has persuaded half the planet to treat as a Great Event. (…)

Brains addled by religion
A fundamentalist Christian lunatic in Florida burns a copy of another religion’s holy book for reasons known only to himself and before you know it ten people have been killed half way around the world in Afghanistan. (…)

I feel wrath coming on
Can someone please remind me why we are attacking Libya when we leave other equally despicable tyrants and regimes alone and perhaps offer them our support? I’m no fan of Gaddafi but anyone who’s been getting away with saying ‘fuck you’ to the west for 42 years must have something going for him. My god, he’s the only man ever to have got away with humiliating Tony Blair in public without Blair even realising.

Pope to broadcast on BBC
Why do we even give this nasty man the time of day especially when he and his ilk have been the cause of so many deaths and ruined lives? (…)

Rich sponger to marry
The news that another supremely rich freeloader is to marry and introduce yet another member into his parasitical family is entirely underwhelming. As such I expect the country to go stark raving bonkers about it around the time of the nuptials. Sad really.
