Radio Trash

The Today Programme excelled itself this morning. First The Bishop of Southwark - "I'm a bishop it's what I do" - contrasting firm religious believers with the more sceptical sort. And of course the firm believers were "less altruistic" than the sceptics. How does he know? In any case this sloppy remark conceals a profound ignorance as to the character of belief: I, for instance, have firm religious convictions and deep scepticism at the same time. How else does the bishop imagine anyone ever produces any serious theological work?

Then the nasty shouter Carolyn Quinn slurs Ming Campbell. First she tells him, "You said you'd hammered so and so..." He denied this. So she said, "Well you were reported as saying..."

Ming tried to intervene, "Ah well, if you're going to say...."

She came back shouting him down, "Oh well, we won't debate that!"

Which means that, having first slurred him, twice, she denies him the chance of reply

What a gorgon she is!

I don't know how you stand the Today programme. I am sure it is only there to help the profits of those who make Atanelol and ACE inhibiters.
