A particularly pompous and stupid Tory minister has said that councils should ignore the court’s ruling, and carry on praying. (!)
Meanwhile … and so, according to this guvmint minister (the egregious Pickles) one can disobey a particular law, because he doesn’t like it ….
Can we all play, and decide which laws we want to ignore?
Eric Pickles, the Communities and Local Government Secretary, and Ministers last night encouraged councils to openly defy a High Court ruling banning public prayers during meetings.

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—, 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, things will (hopefully!) work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. 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.
