Putting aside the English Defence League, where will all the high professors of democracy and freedom of expression be when it comes to marching in defence of Revd Clifford’s and everyone else’s freedom of speech in Norwich this Saturday?

Will christians march this Saturday to protest the right to freely distribute what the authorities have arbitrary deemed to be anti-Islamic literature?

Pussy Riot are the reflection of the debasement of Western civilisation, they say nothing about Russia and everything about the feckless christanity and politics of the West.

Some Pussy Riot observers will almost certainly cringe in the realisation that they were fooled by the same type of uncouth celebrity bleeding hearts and artists making their stands in the West.

Anyone who gets given one, take it to your council and complain!

Revd Clifford sounds a rather unwise character. But this does not surprise me. I was invited to some doleful bash at Parliament last year on the relationship between the church and the welfare state. It was attended by many a cleric (from various denominations) and altho’ some where certainly ‘on the ball’ – many seemed to live a fantasy universe, detached from real life.
