No Room At The Inn For Gays – But Jesus Is OK!
While the political rumblings might not be as severe as the 7.2 on the Richter scale being experienced by those in Mexico, Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Grayling, must have felt more than a little quake in the pit of his stomach following publication of comments he made in private to the Centre For Policy Studies, […]
Richard Madeley On Saddam And Blair!
If I was Tony Blair I would be seriously worried tonight. TV presenter, Richard Madeley, who is the ‘Dick’ of the legendary TV partnership of Richard and Judy has felt the need to make a short film for BBC’s Daily Politics show in defence of our previous prime minister. I am not sure which shocks […]
