I remember some story about forgiving a prostitute, and then there was that leper...

Nope. Not interested in equality, diversity, forgiveness or redemption.

Many of the least Christian people around will tell you that this is a Christian country and if you don't like it fuck off back where you come from.

Hitchens thinks the country started going south well before the 1950's and he takes exception to people suggesting he wants to return the country to that decade. In his mind, the decline of Great Britain began with the decision to go to war in 1914.

In which Peter endeavours to point out that Ukraine shouldn't really be going out at night dressed like that if it doesn't want bad things to happen.

Pete skating on very thin ice now. Classic whataboutery justified by his claim of patriotism. Is this possible given that he is so contemptuous, bordering on loathing, of our country as it is in 2022?
There's always one:
The biggest mistake, nay, the fatal mistake that the Western serpents of woke, those dulled victims of fake news, and that odd mix of the two on this blog makes is to believe that Putin is a Communist and that Russia is a Communist country.
One only has to look at Trudeau, Ardern, Morrison, Macron, Biden and their lesser-spotted despot mates of the ‘democratic’ West to know where the roots of Communism has found fertile minds in which to flourish.

So is the reasonably thorough introduction to the major works of English poetry and literature which anyone destined for university used to get. So is the teaching of narrative English history or simple geography.
Learning poems by rote.

Kings, battles and dates.

Colouring in countries.

All Hitchens is doing is displaying his own profound ignorance. "I am smart, it's the questions that got tough!".

And throughout, his basic thread is that only Anglo civilisation and culture is worth studying. Foreign flags? Rubbish. Women artists? Rubbish. Mesoamerican civilisations? You get the drift. Oh, and:
Paxman almost certainly had to read every word that Shakespeare wrote as part of his English degree at Cambridge 50-odd years ago
No he almost certainly bloody didn't. It's not a fucking memory test.

In which our hero has a fit of the vapours over Sinn Fein's performance at the polls this week. With this political analysis he shows once again that there is no start to his talents.

It is now clear even to the dimmest that the IRA have won in Northern Ireland.

Their political poodle, Sinn Fein, has toppled the Democratic Unionists as the largest party in the Stormont Assembly.

It is hard to see how this will not now lead, in the fullness of time, to the transfer of the Six Counties of Northern Ireland to Dublin rule...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/arti ... t-IRA.html
...So here it comes, and it will be a hugely significant moment in British and European history when it does. Because despite all the blather about ‘Good Friday’ and democracy, the handover of Northern Ireland to Dublin is the direct and undoubted result of a long campaign of ruthless murder, which the USA did not perhaps hamper or oppose quite as vigorously as it might have done.

It will be the first transfer of territory as a result of violence in Western Europe since 1945...
There's nothing like a bit of swivel-eyed pearl-clutching to set me giggling.

I’m surprised he didn’t manage to shoehorn in - everything is the fault of marijuana, and the fact he goes to evensong

If the Prods hadn't been given marijuana by those devious Fenians they would be outbreeding the Papists and everyone would be happy.

Comes from sending their kids to the comp, where they learn all about condoms and don't do enough learning worthy and improving poetry by rote.

Also he has a dig at "lefties" for apparently banning a film (which he got a copy of anyway) because it says bad things about communism. Apparently you can't make films like that any more. Someone please inform Hollywood, or just bung him a copy of the Death of Stalin (IIRC he had a whinge about that because it was making light of something that was no laughing matter, evidence that he either didn't watch it, or didn't get it).
