The story in the Telegraph about a Turkish girl buried alive by her relatives, her crime, she talked to boys. Apparently there are estimated to be about 200 occurrences of this kind of thing every year accounting for half of all murders in Turkey, barbaric doesn't cover it, from the soil in her lungs it was clear that she'd been alive and concious when they buried her.
Then there is the news that our Government has capitulated under pressure from religious lobbying regarding equality laws, the Daily Telegraph quoted a Downing Street spokesman as saying: “We are clear that these parts of the Equality Bill should not go forward", these narrow minded religious institutions will remain able to discriminate against people for accidents of Biology, what a nice bunch of people. The Pope also got in on the act criticising the bill as an "attack" on freedom of religion (shouldn't that be freedom of discrimination?) The Pope is visiting us this summer and apparently it's going to cost the British tax payer £20M for the privilege, I wouldn't give you tuppence for the interfering old bigot.
On a lighter note, apparently you can go to Cambridge university now and study comics and computer games, boy was I born in the wrong age..

Catholics seem to be in the news a lot lately, I also read about Cherie Blair letting off some thug or other more lightly than she might of because he claimed to be "religious", she is quoted as passing judgement to a Mr Shamso Miah (devout Muslim) thus,
“I am going to suspend this sentence for the period of two years based on the fact you are a religious person and have not been in trouble before. You caused a mild fracture to the jaw of a member of the public standing in a queue at Lloyds Bank. You are a religious man and you know this is not acceptable behaviour.”
So what's the moral of the story here, is a fractured jaw is less painful if inflicted by a Muslim than an equivalent blow by a Christian and perhaps less harmful than the same injury dished out by an Atheist.
Is this a case of Cheria law we've heard so much about?
