Increased Resolve
2 February 2010
In my earlier post I expressed that I might “even organise a campaign or two of my own. Although if I’m honest that’s more likely to be next year.”
Reading that back made me feel a tad uncomfortable. I could hear myself saying something meant genuinely, but ultimately meaningless. “Tomorrow,” he said, “I’m going to quit procrastinating.”
Who Would Jesus Employ?

The BBC News website is carrying an article entitled “Churches fear Equality Bill will conflict with faith“. I don’t know the degree of accuracy, but it alleges that bishops (it doesn’t say which bishops) are concerned that they might be forced to employ gay people, and are preparing for a fight in the House of Lords.
It made sense in 1933

Found this little (amended) snippet that’s still on the statute:
If any person having responsibility for a child or young person who has attained the age of four years and is under the age of sixteen years, allows that child or young person to reside in or to frequent a brothel, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale, or alternatively or in addition thereto, to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months.
Children and Young Persons Act 1933, §3(1)
Fortunately, those of you who allow your three year olds to frequent brothels have nothing to worry about.
