Despite the evidence, why do we insist religion is about peace and tolerance?

When you’re almost stark naked, it’s difficult to get a good grip of your busby.

I can vouch for this because of driving past the British Embassy. The embassy has a front gate so ugly, it looks like it was bought on the cheap from the Lubyanka. In front of it, last Friday, were half a dozen undressed protesters.

They weren’t starkers, but if they’d had any fewer garments on, it would have amounted to indecent exposure or a very slow streak. As it was, the flesh on display was extremely pleasing to the journalist (from another newspaper) in the car with me.
