Sim-O

Right. Never mind all the bollox about whether Harrys’ Place is a Zionist mouthpiece or a bastion against anti-semitism, whether you agree with their views or you don’t.
Harrys’ Place has received a solicitors letter about one of his posts that would seem to be trying to use the UKs’ unfair libel laws, when David T has done everything right with regards to corrections.

Support is required, it could be you next, mister blogger.

As usual Unity has dug a little deeper.

A marriage registrar was harassed for refusing to conduct same-sex ceremonies, a tribunal has ruled.

Lillian Ladele, who said the civil partnership ceremonies went against her Christian faith, hailed the decision as a “victory for religious liberty”.

The tribunal ruled that Miss Ladele was discriminated against on grounds of religious beliefs and was harassed.

Islington council said it was “disappointed” and was considering an appeal against the ruling

So, someone who doesn’t want to be discriminated against for her religious beliefs discriminates against a couple for their sexual orientation.
Bit of a quandry this one.

Regret? My arse! Rattys’ rubbing his hands together with glee at the thought of all those traditional [bigotted] Christians running back to the ‘one true faith’.

I have just updated the Pivot software, so any problems let me know.

Thanx

Teh Management.

An evangelical chap on the Today programme on Radio 4 explains why it would be “intolerant and unjust” to bring him under the authority of a woman bishop.

Hmm. “Intolerant and unjust” to allow a woman to become a bishop. There’s a flaw in his argument somewhere.

He did also say that it isn’t a sexist issue but a theological one. Which to my mind, makes his religion sexist.

Nice , eh?

Al Jazeera letting Harry cop a load of shit.

We are all ‘Harry’ now…? *shudder*

The race’s traditional home is owned by the British Racing Drivers’ Club, who had been in talks for a new deal with Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone.

“We wanted a world class venue for F1 in Britain, something that the teams and fans could be proud of,” he said.

“Donington’s development plans will give us exactly that, a venue to put British motorsport back on the map.”

Ecclestone said he was disappointed that the government had not intervened to help Silverstone retain the race.

Silverstone and Donnington are both privately venues. Why should the government help one or the other? If Silverstone isn’t upto it, and franlkly it’s a shite track then it shouldn’t get the deal.
I just hope the development of Donningtons’ track doesn’t fuck it up for the bike racing.

BBC:

Lord Phillips, the most senior judge in England and Wales, said there was no reason sharia law’s principles could not be used in mediation

Lord Phillips has given a speech to a Muslim centre in Whitechapel that has reaffirmed what Dr Rowan Williams said in February.

What I said then was:

I cannot see any law being enacted in this day and age that would exempt certain groups of people from receiving various human rights…

Although, with hindsight I may still be wrong…

Hello, my name is Billy and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50 billion f***ing chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe, if you send them on, a poor six-year-old girl in Scotland with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.

And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give $1000 to you, and everyone to whom you send ‘his’ email?

How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I’ll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!

What a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomise me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour.

F**k ’em!!

If you’re going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing.

I’ve seen all the ‘send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being’ forwards about 90 times. I don’t f**king care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you’re actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it’s our own unpopularity.

The point being?

If you get some chain letter that’s threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.

If it’s funny, send it on.

Don’t piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he’ll receive if you forward this email.
