Do not read this if you are easily offended by strong language, but the libertarian blogger Guido Fawkes has been passed an email which he has posted. In it Times columnist Giles Coren throws an apoplectic over-the-top wobbly with the sub-editors (and also reveals himself as a prima donna) for removing an “a” in his [...]
David Ker, now wanted for dishonouring the name of this blog
“Cursed be anyone who moves a neighbour’s boundary marker.” All the people shall say, “Amen!” (Deuteronomy 27:17)
Y’all know I’m a rigid upholder of the letter of the law.
This is well weird. I turned on the blogging machine this morning to find 5 good comments on this post. I have a vague recollection of writing this some months ago, but none at all of doing it last night. Is this a Wordpress glitch? Have I started blogging in my sleep? Is this a [...]
I believe in episcopacy.
I’m just not sure about bishops.
Is there a problem with this statement?
It would seem to me, in my naïveté that this site offering online ordinations is simply a scam, dressed up in some nonsense. I fear however, that there are people who take it seriously. But I can’t quite get my head round why people who don’t believe in any God would want to go round [...]

For those [...]

I publish comments disagreeing with me, even disagreeing robustly, provided [...]
Dave Walker has been threatened. The person doing the threatening is Mark Brewer. The basis for the threat is Dave’s “people’s journalism” exposing and highlighting the awful saga of SSG/SPCK and the slow destruction of a much respected chain of booksellers. The threat, of a libel action, appears to be an empty threat. Unfortunately, having [...]
Michael Gove of The Times comes up with the three political answers to journalist’s questions. Brilliant.
1. My statistics are bigger than your statistics. Whenever challenged on the facts, simply come up with your own list of numbers and try to browbeat the listener into submission. For example: “Well, you may think its wrong of Lord [...]
It’s meant to be a virtue, even a biblical and traditional one, and not just the gentle advice of dubiously gay-friendly popsters Take That, but it does seem to have got lost. Arguably a lack of patience was a significant failing, even sin, in TEC when it consecrated Gene Robinson. But currently it seems to [...]
