Good old Boris Johnson is in hot water again. This time it’s for attending a service at a church that does so-called gay exorcisms.
The floppy-haired posh-git Mayor of London – gosh! – was there last night at Jesus House Church in Barnet. This church is led by Pastor Agu Irukwu and is part of some nonsense called the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Peter Tatchell, the gay human-rights campaigner, says Johnson has made a big mistake.
No, Peter. He’s a politician. We suppose he knows what he’s doing. Politicians usually blow with the wind. If they were honest all the time they wouldn’t get votes from important sections of their constituencies.
Johnson wouldn’t want to upset the black Christian vote, now would he?
His press office have said that barmy Boris was attending the bigots’ mumbo-jumbo “to kick off a host of festive celebrations across the capital” and that he will later attend services in Southwark Cathedral and Trafalgar Square.
Er, does that excuse it?

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.
