Recent news from around the UK

18 February 2009

It’s been a busy couple of days in the UK with regards to religious stupidity (as opposed to boring everyday stupidity, but there’s plenty of that too), and today is the first chance I’ve had to mention any of it. Time is short, so I’ll simply leave you with the articles concerned, and withhold commentary.

First of all, yesterday’s The Guardian had a feature in it’s G2 insert about Britain’s creationist community, and how batshit insane/ignorant they are. Thankfully they’re nowhere near as numerous nor well funded as their transatlantic (or antipodean, for that matter) compeers, although they do appear to have just as much (or, perhaps I should say, little) perspicacity.

The Guardian: Defying Darwin

Later on, I read in The Telegraph that the hate-filled gay-obsessed funeral-chaser christian homophobic fundie wingnuts from the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas were planning to demonstrate at a student performance of an anti-homophobia play, The Laramie Project, in Basingstoke. These morons, who describe the queen as a “whore” (which I suppose could be considered technically accurate if you accept that the old biddy has been paid from the public coffers to have produced a number of sprogs destined to to sit on a shiny chair and wear an expensive hat), haven’t expressed whether they’re coming over to the UK themselves or if they have local sympathisers (Stephen “Birdshit” Green, perhaps?) to do it on their behalf.

Deputy gobshite in chief (after the insane old guy who I’m convinced was the Tall Man in the Phantasm films) and matriarchal clown-car of the litigious arseholes, Shirley Phelps-Roper, was also in correspondence with The Telegraph, and the CAPS FILLED bible bashing wingnuttery is of the calibre that only these eejits can come out with. It’s tremendously amusing.

And, today, news from the Home Office broke that the law lords had determined that hate-filled murder-inspiring muslim fundie dipshit Abu Qatada was to be extradited from the UK to face terrorist charges in Jordan, and that cretinous and credulous HomSec Jacqui “Two Flats” Smith was creaming her knickers over the news, obviously still on a high from banning Dutch MP Geert Wilders from entering the UK because a bunch of ass-backwards muslims might get upset and have a violent tantrum if some other people get to see his Fitna film.

Phew! After all that, I think I need a nice hot cup of tea and a sit down.
