Oh What A Tangled Web We Weave…
…when first we practice to deceive. (As I discussed on Tuesday)
The London Evening Standard is reporting rumours that are flying around that the Benn deputy leadership campaign was offered and turned down illegal funding organised by Jon Mendelsohn. Which would explain why Baroness Jay is being so tight-lipped.
“We were approached by Mendelsohn. He rang up [...]

“spent Money Like John Edwards At A Beauty Shop”
If only Huckabee had some good web banners (help anybody?), I’d stick one up on the site. If you’re in the US (or follow US politics) you don’t want to miss the best joke of the campaign so far. Hat-tip Mike E.

17 Weeks
Our child is 17 weeks old.
Your baby is now nearly 5.5 inches/ 13 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighs approximately 5 ounces/ 140 grams. Her skeleton is mostly rubbery cartilage, which will harden later. A protective substance called myelin slowly begins to wrap around the spinal cord.
With the help of a special stethoscope, [...]

Welcome To The Non-religious Christmas Carol Service
You couldn’t make it up could you?
The Royal Commonwealth Society is at the centre of an embarrassing row after it barred a well-known Roman Catholic commentator from attacking intolerance towards Christians at its annual carol service.
Cristina Odone, the former deputy editor of the New Statesman, was to be one of the “celebrity readers” at the [...]

Harriet Harman Must Be Finished
Guido sums it up so well:
Hilary Benn turned down £5000 for his deputy leadership campaign after Margaret Jay told him the cash from Janet Kidd was on behalf of David Abrahams. He insisted the cash should come from Mr Abrahams himself.
Gordon Brown also turned down £5000 for his campaign, so presumably his campaign team knew [...]

Anglicans And Roman Catholics Unite To Critique Government Amendment On “incitement To Hatred”
As the Church of England website says:
The Church of England and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales have commented on the Government’s proposed amendment to the Public Order Act 1986 to create a new offence of incitement to hatred on grounds of sexual orientation. Focussing on the use of threatening words or behaviour [...]

3, 2, 1, Thunderbirds Are..,
…GO!!!
Following a Gerry Anderson moment at last night’s musical rehearsal for the upcoming Contemporary Christmas Service (check out the trailer) I just had to resurrect this glorious video.
Frankly, any song that contains the lyrics:
It always looks so cool
When Spaceships come out of the pool
You know that you’d just be a fool to be a bad [...]

Barnes Gets Red Card
In tragic news, yesterday John Barnes (ex England Footballer) got voted out in the latest round of Strictly Come Dancing (for my US readers thats like “Dancing with the Stars”, but the original version. Bit like all things UK vs US really. I digress..) as the judges finally realised what we all clocked a long [...]

On How To Do A Little Bit Of Data Management
I’ve been fascinated by some of the reports that have been coming out of the Revenue and Customs “Lost Data” affair. In particular, the reason why so much data has been lost was because they couldn’t afford to just send the bits that the audit office wanted has, as someone who used to work in [...]

The False Paradigm That Distorts Our Discussions
I get into conversations all the time (for example today here) about how God moved me from homosexuality to a happy marriage (with baby on the way). I wrote back in the Spring what I personally meant by “post-gay” and I suggest that before you continue here you make sure that you’ve read that essay [...]

16 Weeks
Our child is 16 weeks old
Your baby is now about the size of an avocado (about 5 inches / 11.6 centimetres long from crown to rump and weighing approximately 4 ounces / 100 grams). In the next three weeks he’ll go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling his weight and adding inches to his length.In [...]

All Hail The Marcionites!!
Once again, in his usual weekly Church Times column of anti-orthodoxy comment, Giles Fraser has missed the point entirely:
This week’s stop (my final one) on my American adventure is Pittsburgh, the belly of the beast. The good people of Calvary Church have been looking after me and sharing their fears.
These are not radicals or revolutionaries, [...]

Who Says “we Don’t Do God”
An amazing speaker at this year’s Conservative Party Conference. David isn’t afraid to tell a political gathering from the main stage that “God broke my heart”
