Bacon, egg and hogwash

Goodness knows who's paying for it (the taxpayer, we can only assume), but, according to Inspire magazine, there's a "prayer breakfast" at Westminster tomorrow, with up to a hundred MPs going along to mumble the mumbo-jumbo over their croissants or baked beans.

"The parliamentarians will also spend time with four Christian agencies: Care, Interserve, Tearfund, World Vision and Bible Society to discuss their work," says the magazine in a very short piece.

Are our paid representatives doing this in their own time? You can bet your bottom they're not.

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.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
