'And let us now give thanks to God Almighty for Roman Catholicism, because it allows us to hate abhorrent, loathsome, revolting, dreadful, awful, abominable, hateful, despicable, contemptible poofters with a great detestation, loathing, odium, revulsion and disgust. Amen.' I like Eric Idle’s comment (at the end of the Western Mail article) on the ending of Swansea’s ridiculous ban: ‘What a shame. Is nothing sacred?’
