Sunday Express: Questions To Which The Answer Is No (Unfortunately)

Sunday Express.

The Express' columnists - from Ann Widdecombe to Frederick Forsyth - always read like Craig Brown parodies.

Update: Another question to which the answer is no - from next week's Big Issue.


The highly respected British Social Attitudes Survey estimates that roughly half of the population professes no religion, and places Anglicans at an all-time low of 20%, with Catholics and other Christians at 9% and 17% respectively. With only 14% of religious people attending services every week, and religious groups and leaders topping a 2006 Ipsos MORI poll of which domestic groups have too much influence in society, on what grounds are the Prime Minister and Communities Secretary possibly basing their claims?

British Humanist Association.

Sunday Express: "David Cameron Has A Big Gay Following"

I think that civil partnerships or marriage should be as fully available to homosexuals as they are to heterosexuals and I am glad that the attitude towards homosexuals has changed for the better since the days of Oscar Wilde and his Ballad Of Reading Gaol.
Yet during my 63 years in show business and broadcasting I have worked on programmes with homosexuals and never heard any of them raise what, thanks to the Prime Minister, now appears to have become a highly controversial subject...

Jimmy Young, Sunday Express  - one of the few newspaper columnists who lived through the Wilde trials.
Some of his best former colleagues were homosexuals etc.
Not sure where they got that amusing photocaption from, can't think of any gayer that can stick him, gay marriage advocate or no.
The Express has gone into full on attack mode on this in the last week.
Can't be arsed to contest their bigoted daftness blow by blow, but here's the ever hilarious Ann Widdecombe.
Fair dos - a rare article on gay marriage not illustrated by cake-toppers, or men's hands etc but an actual couple.
I bet she puked.
