Fetch the swingometer

by Feòrag

United Kingdom: The European Parliamentary Election will be held soon, but I will be, well, in Europe, so I applied for a postal vote. The ballot paper arrived this morning. There are several parties that I would not even consider voting for, but the one least likely to get my X is this:

Operation Christian Vote "Proclaiming Christ's Leadership"

As well as denying reproductive choice to women, and banning useful research, Operation Christian Vote declares We believe all government to be under the authority of God and that the purpose of government is the maintenance of freedom and justice solely in accordance with biblical principles. Makes the BNP look tolerable in comparison.

Look, boys and girls, it's the Christian Taliban.

Wax lyrical

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, I'm afraid you'll have to leave them out for now, as things are a little b0rked. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.
