Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That…

Ollie Cromwell has an interesting post over on the Red Rag regarding Clegg’s recent comments on homosexuality in faith schools.

Nick Clegg lists Seinfeld as one of his two favourite TV shows. However he seems to be adopting one of the shows famous episodes for his script on Gay rights, by making the case that faith schools should be legally obliged to teach that homosexuality is “normal and harmless“, and gay civil partnerships should be replaced by true marriage.

He is proposing to force all schools – including faith schools – to implement anti-homophobia bullying policies and teach that homosexuality is “normal and harmless”.

At this point I am tempted to add the Seinfeld line “not that there is anything wrong with that” but there is something very wrong with that, putting aside the issue of gay rights which is not my objection, and just looking at what he is doing in abstract terms he is saying “I believe this, you should too, even if you religion is opposed I will legislate to force your schools to brainwash your children with my thinking.” What could be more illiberal?

It makes for an interesting read.

Your song is ending Gordon

So,  now we all know that the outgoing Doctor has come out dissing David Cameron. In the most recent edition of Doctor Who magazine David Tennant admits to finding David Cameron “a terrifying prospect” – this from the man that has laughed his way through fights with the likes of Cybermen, Daleks and the vashta nerada week in week out for the past few years!

Should we be surprised? Perhaps not. It has been perfectly clear to me that the Doctor has been going mad in recent episodes… the growing God complex that led him to believe that he could do pretty much what he wanted with impunity;  lost all his friends; ending up as johnny-no-mates  hanging around with the only other being left from ”his world” who hates him and is even more insane than he is (and calls himself The Master). 

Doctor Who is Gordon Brown? Surely that just cant be. No I just wont have it! …. But it might explain why the Doctor thinks David Cameron is so “terrifying”. And we all know the Doctor trashed his own planet a while back…..the ill fitting suits… the Scottish origins….Lets hope Gordon can’t do that regeneration thing . Who knows who he might come back as.
