Gramsci’s Revolution
Oliver Kamm has a go at Paul Oestreicher’s Guardian nonsense and refers to an older and more informative piece about the loose Canon. It seems he was a leading light in the “Christian-Marxist dialogue” of the 1960s. Not just a leading light, but up to his eyes in it – to the point of supplying [...]
More Anglican Anti-Semitism
Please read Melanie Phillips shredding this appalling piece of drivel from Canon Paul Oestreicher in the Guardian. Okay so you can’t shred drivel but you know what I mean.

By any standards this has to be considered a blotted copybook: most commentators who want to be taken seriously will studiously avoid comments which might be [...]
Ann Coulter on the Cartoon Crisis
A typically lively piece from Ann including this gem of a quote:

Indeed.
Time to Disinvest in the Church of England?
It really has come to something when a former Archbishop of Canterbury announces that he is ashamed to be an Anglican. However the British press seems not to have noticed, which is a damning indictment of the Church of England in its own right.
In case you missed it, the General Synod has voted to disinvest [...]
