God's wrath over equal marriage flooding anger

Henley Standard: UKIP councillor blames flooding on gay marriage (Link goes to story)

Something different to the usual. No angry people pointing at things, which may appear at a later date. Instead - because the Standard don't put their letters online, I've splashed out 80p on local journalism and bought the print copy for your delight.

First thing you notice is that Mr Silvester's letter isn't even the top letter - he's spirited away onto the second page of letters, and split over two columns. But what you get is local newspaper gold.

My favourite bit is the reference to the Coronation Oath, which, I will admit, is something that worries me every day.

To be fair, it's as valid a theory as man made global warming.

To be fair it's a valid a theory as the idea that anonymous commentators have anything of value to say.

Anon (1): No, no it isn't.

Anon (2): Ha ha!

So, as well being a loon who thinks teh gays cause flooding, he also thinks the bible predicted the coronation oath?

PS -Do you suppose the scriptures predicted what the punishment is for a nation which elects ignorant bigoted gits to public office? Should we be planning for rains of fish or plagues of frogs?

Wow - a UKIP god-botherer! I bet some of those council meetings are a bit odd.
I wish we had nutters of that calibre in my area.

To also be fair, there's a helluva lot of gays in Henley, if my recent experiences are any guide. So I guess that's where God would start.

On the plus side this might sort out that little fucker Paul Daniels.

Hi Scary,
The online letters section exists. Go to: http://www.henleystandard.co.uk/regulars/letters.php

Why isn't Queen Bess slaying those who work on Sundays? She made of oath after all.

Alistair Coleman said...

Gonzo: Yay! But is there an archive?

Gonzoland said...

Hi Scary, Queen Bess' archive of oaths is called Philip.
