Christian lunatics hold homophobic rally outside parliament.

10-01-2007 22:16

See above for caption...
“Let him without sin cast the first stone” said Jesus to the unruly mob to quell their bloodlust and stop them from murdering an innocent woman. Unfortunately this part of the Bible seems to have been misplaced by the hypocrites standing outside Parliament on Tuesday night. The reason for this thousand strong demo? The House of Lords are debating a law that will give gay people the same rights as everyone else. This it seems is too much for Britain’s fast growing Christian Right. The law will make it illegal (for example) to refuse a hotel room to a gay couple. Or to refuse a job interview to a gay man or woman based on their sexuality. Many years ago a similar law was introduced to stop black people being discriminated against. This has clearly been forgotten by half the nutters present tonight.

Advertising Cancer Infects NHS

09-01-2007 18:46

Yes, you read it right. Now that we have 'choice' in what hospitals we consume (sorry, 'use'), Merseyside NHS hospitals are going to start flaunting their wares in public spaces, in a bid to make you choose Southport General over the Royal Liverpool or whatever. Of course, as with any business, the money spent on advertising will not be available for wages or the actual services. And in hospitals, the services are quite important.

Well now Ricky has donated £1,000 to a campaign for a public inquiry into the blatantly dodgy arrests, trial, and imprisonments. He will also be presenting a TV documentary later this year in a bid to raise awareness.
