Whilst I agree with all the sentiment etc I still wonder why we don't get similar threads or columnists in the Guardian about other 'great religions' that in reality encourage homophobia, massive sexual discrimination...actually Femicide let's be blunt....or is that just left to mad southern Preachers?


He's an easy target, all bigotry should be exposed.

Some of my catholic friends suffer from 1st degree guilt some of the others who are less driven have only


achieved "A" level guilt.


The denial of justice to the victims is one of the greatest debacles of this institution,


as it casts a shadow over any good deeds it performs in the world.


I still think that suggesting he opens an abortion clinic is hardly the correct activity for the pope to perform as there must be loads of 'befitting' chores which would be more suitable.

I think ignoring him would be the worst thing we can do.

Just as we should not ignore any group / cult / religion / whose remit is to order other people around and make them do things that are dangerous / immoral / illegal / unfair / discriminatory / etc etc.

I think it is a scandal that it is a state visit, ie. your taxes are paying for his visit. (I earned so little last year I don't get to pay taxes this year, so its your taxes!)

Anyone remember an episode of "Old Harry's Game", written by and starring Andy Hamilton where upon being asked "What shall I do with this new batch of sinners Oh Satan?"

Satan: "Put them in the pit with the pregnant Popes"

New arrival in Hell: "Pregnant Popes?"

Satan: "Yeah. Up to their knecks in excrement while suffering agonising birth pains for all eternaty."

Something along those lines anyway.

Have I offended some catholics?

Tough.

The Pope though is not every catholic...he IS however Catholicism and that makes him different to other religions that do not have a single living figurehead at the helm. My objection is to him personally, because he is the worst kind of Catholic. I would say the same of the worst kind of Jews, Muslims, and Christians and anyone that condones oppression and hatred. Those kinds of people are simply fascists who then use religion to justify their fascism.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I wonder whether his political epiphany and renaissance will stretch to him using his real name - James Ashworth-McLintock - rather than the more proletarian 'McAsh'. To my mind, the only people who should have self-bestowed mononyms are very talented Brazilian footballers - Pele, Kaka, Ronaldinho - very talented female pop icons - Madonna, Shakira, Sonia - or Russian revolutionaries - Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. Sonia's greatest hits compilation, 'Greatest Hits', is out now on vinyl & CD through PWL Recordings.

      Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Aren't most marxists radical by default...and he was a self proclaimed marxist on his twitter feed for years but deleted it as I suspect it did not sit well at Labour HQ. The big worry for Labour might be that he takes votes away from them (but not enough for him to win a seat) especially as there may be a significant protest vote against them at the national level as they are making such a pig's ear of things. I suspect though Labour are glad to see the back of him - to say he was a thorn in their side is an understatement and his loss of the leadership of the council was clearly part of the purge Labour has been embarking on to rid itself of some of the far-left lunatic fringe that have blighted them for so long. The Greens of course are willingly take any disaffected far-left Labour rejects in the same way Reform are hovvering up the lunatic elements of the Tories. The fact he went in with both barrels on Labour is hardly surprisingly but wonderfully hypocritical of someone who thought they were about to lead a Labour council. My how politicians flip-flop to suit their own personal agenda. How long before he falls out with the Greens...where to then? Why do I think he had an affiliation with the Greens before he became a Labour councillor? Or did I imagine that?
