Good for a laugh as always.

Sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.

As for Filth – I have it on Sky+ but haven’t got round to watching it yet. The fact that the Massah seems to quite like it isn’t encouraging.

I think you’ve made a bit of a typo in your article.
After Green’s quote you omitted to write
“wrote the cancer-charity-blackmailing delusional hypocrite”

Seriously though, I’m surprised you’ve not done owt on Filth! It was great seeing Mary Whitehouse in a sex scene.

“I… was utterly disgusted by Channel 4’s portrayal of Christians…filming shots…were made to project that the interviewing was done in some…secret way… as if Channel 4 was uncovering some amazing “secret” underground movement of “fundementalist” Christians.

Yet the Christian values promoted – against abortion, that homosexuality is a sin…are all values held by the Church for centuries. Channel 4…has gone a long way to misleading the members of the public that maybe do not know better. I for one will not be watching any dispatches programmes again after this farce!!”

i.e. “we Christians have been bigots for centuries…and Channel 4 should have made that clear…rather than making out that it’s a new thing” and Christians woner why they are being held up for ridicule these days!!!

He really hates Green, which is funny as old Dogshit’s easy availability to the media as a religious rentagob may be the only thing stopping Edwards looking so ridiculous, and so often.
