Begone Bearded Bard....

...What a loon! What on earth possessed the Bearded Bard to be so inept as to assume he could, as head of the Anglican Church, stand up before any congregation - never mind it were an 'intellectual gathering' (one reaches for one's pistol naturally at the very name of the thing) - and say anything quite so daft as that Sharia Law was a) a good thing or b) that we ought to be having it here.

'Holy Fool' does not do justice to the man. He is too plain daft to be the sanctified other. Let him be some unauthorised scholar, labouring away safely in some quiet college, if he wants to come out with such nonsense. But as the Head Boyo of what's left of C of E he had no right to be putting all us underling clerics in this ridiculous position of having to run around after him trying to explain - well God knows what he was saying to be truthful.

As for putting up the poor old Bish of Southwark to bleat further nonsense about the writ of British law being just an 'umbrella' under which all other religious laws can shelter, I simply shudder.

How can he have not foreseen the damage his words would have on relations between British Muslims and others of different or of no faiths? What kind of dream world does he inhabit?

He must go and soon is not swift enough.
