His website is full of jokes about religion and the religious, and is well worth a visit if you’re in need of something witty the next time the vicar calls round for tea or the local imam for his bacon butty.
Some people think we shouldn’t joke about religion because it’s disrespectful, insulting or racist. Fortunately, many others treat that with the disdain it deserves while, thankfully, we have people like Condell, who do it and do it well!
Given what Ben Elton said about the BBC recently, I think we’ll have a bit of a wait for The Pat Condell Show, but we can live in hope or, failing that . . . pray.

Post a Comment
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
