Just heard on the radio:
"This morning the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, told Radio 4's Today programme that 'sharia law seems inevitable in some parts of Britain'"
Will you fucking God-botherers of all stripes please fuck off.
Leave aside the bizarre irony that the head of the Church of England appears to be advocating the introduction of an absolutist legal system drawn from Islamic teachings, has he lost the plot completely? Perhaps God got on the old blower and told him "Listen, I don't like these brown fellas any more than you, except my mate Allah from the corner shop, he's alright. Anyway, fing to do to keep em quiet is to set up a completely separate society for em within the UK. Bish bash bosh - everyone's happy. Well, apart from a few slags and bummers that is, and who gives a toss about them. Right? Am I right?".
Rowan Willams - mad as an eyebrow
I'm not making any crashing revelations by stating that I'm in favour of a multicultural society and mutual respect between different cultures blah blah etc, but a five year old child could see that you don't achieve that by saying 'one set of rules for you, another for me'. All you're doing in that scenario is creating totally separate societies that happen to live in the same place.
In any case, what possible relevance does the opinion of a fucking bishop, arch or otherwise have to the nature of the rule of law; what is this, 1708? Tell your magic bearded sky-mate to get back in His celestial white cloud van and sling His holy hook. Fucker. |

From the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich:
To good ol' JC in a rather more ignominious spot:
Sounds like something an australian would say in response to something unexpected.
"Christ on a dog's arse, Lenny, me wife's turned into a picnic hamper! Fnord." |
