Rah for the Rads

Most of the media seem to have neglected the first public engagement of the former Minister for Wog-Starving, now promoted to minister for corporate killing by more direct methods. The event in question was a superbly Gavin Williamson service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey to celebrate Britain's share in the United States' capacity for bestowing nuclear holocaust. Bruce Kent protested articulately in the Independent, and Steve Bell irradiated satirically in the Guardian, but neither paper seems to have run the story. The ceremony was mentioned at the BBC and the Tax-Haven Barclaygraph only because one of Mrs Battenberg's benefits-claiming boys was shouted at by some Russian fifth-columnists, even though he had only toddled along because a genocidal U-boat is to be named after a character in The King's Speech. Although the Gospels are clear enough that neither Christ nor His Father has anything against genocide in a good cause, a number of Anglican clerics apparently registered disapproval of the service.
