The rabid rightwing press never miss a trick, do they?

(That said, the Bishop is a moron if didn’t anticipate that such statements would cause uproar. Nuances simply don’t register in the mind of a dumb-ass red-top editor.)

It's <i> still </i> the lead story on the BBC website! The tabloids have been totally hysterical (witness the Scum's front page on Friday). It's not as if Williams is a minister or something, not as if what he said matters very much, not as if most of us go to his church anyway.

[Maddie Bunting rooting for a new job?] Any subtle journalist – a rare species - contemplating such an assignment should read “A Day in the Life of God”, the memoir of the late Michael De-la-Noy, sometime press officer to Archbishop Michael Ramsey, which recounts the sorry tale of his summary ejection from the archbishop’s entourage for having written a sensible article about sexual ethics for ‘Forum’ – a magazine regarded by Lambeth Palace as ‘pornographic’. It’s a book that is both sad and in parts very funny. De-la-Noy tells how he wrote to the then Archbishop of York, Dr Coggan, pointing out that his public reference to the “gormless millions” who watched television was somewhat tactless. Dr Coggan – who subsequently took over at Canterbury – replied regretting having caused any offence, and begged forgiveness on the ground that he had not known what “gormless” meant! But should we expect any better from our senior clergy?
