Homophobic US 'Pastor' wants homosexuals to be placed in electrified pens

It is amazing, in this day and age, that people still believe this shit. Him and his 'church' should be put in the pens instead.......

Vulcan!

This weekend seemed to have turned into an opportunity to view rare aircraft in the local vicinity. Yesterday was the Hurricane, today was the sole flying Vulcan bomber at RAF Cosford for Veteran's Day.

Halfpenny at War!

Leo and I braved the cold (which I should NOT be saying at the end of sodding May) to visit Halfpenny at War. This is a new annual World War 2 weekend where Allies and Axis troops camp next to each other and drink tea with one another in the cafe. Our main reason for going, however, was to see what we thought would be a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. After being put back 2 hours it turned out to be a Hurricane and photography was near impossible, but it was a nice end to the afternoon.

Gove's Bibles

Today I was astounded to learn that Gove has been sending out Bibles to all schools. Why and how were two questions that sprung to mind. The Guardian answers the question, but seurely donations could have paid for something more useful than a book of anceint religious homophobic propganda? The poll below says it all.

This week, copies of the King James Bible were sent out to every state school in the country, courtesy of the education secretary Michael Gove. They were paid for by donations, not from the public purse. The Bibles are accompanied by a letter from Michael Gove, the education secretary.

Are Gove's Bibles good for schools?
17.5%	Yes
82.5%	No
