r_scribblesI'd do a long post about the Hot Water the Archbishy's in at the moment (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7236849.stm) but I can't be bothered.
Long story short, I completely disagree with his suggestion that anybody should be given special dispensation from the law of the land on Religious grounds. It's unjust, it's discriminatory and it's opening a massive can of worms. One Secular legal code for all, ta very much. However, I also think that the calls for him to quit are completely unjustified. He hasn't committed any crime, he's just spoken his mind. I do like Dr Williams, he seems to be pretty cool and level headed, when compared to other Religious Leaders both here and overseas. And it really does seem that his words have been taken out of context and turned into a simple us-vs-them issue. When pretty much every comment I hear or read on the subject includes the phrase 'they come over here...' I can't help but think that many of those baying for his blood have missed the point completely.
So yeah. Hope old Badger Eyebrows makes it through this intact. I'm rather fond of him.
Found my engagement ring, BTW Chaps. It was in the wash after all, must have slipped off my finger when I was bunging in the laundry. It has been retrieved, unharmed.
Mummy's down tomorrow - yay!
