The Daily Telegraph asked the above question this morning.
Well as usual we gave the correct answer as far back as Monday 18th February 2008
School Children! but of course he ignores their advice and does his own thing, so he gets everything wrong.
The Rev Dr Peter Mullen said in an blog that homosexuality was "clearly unnatural, a perversion and corruption of natural instincts and affections" and "a cause of fatal disease".
He recommended that homosexual practices be discouraged "after the style of warnings on cigarette packets".
He wrote: "Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS."
In an earlier posting, the Rev Mullen, who is also rector of St Michael's Cornhill and St Sepulchre without Newgate in the City, wrote a poem about the blessing of two gay priests by the Rev Martin Dudley.
The poem begins: "The Bishop of London is in a high huff, Because Dr Dudley has married a puff; And not just one puff - he's married another: Two priests, two puffs and either to other."
It concludes: "Of such Dr Dudley a goldmine has found, From shaven-head puftas the nuptial pink pound.
"The new Church of England embraces diversity, A fresh modulation on ancient perversity."
Peter Tatchell of gay rights group OutRage! (wanker) Demanded that the Rev Mullen resign.
He said: "As a chaplain, Rev Mullen ought to be a spiritual guide to all employees of the Stock Exchange.
"Given his quite outrageous homophobia, not only would lesbian and gay employees feel unable to approach him but even heterosexual staff would find what he said deeply offensive and off-putting.
"He should resign or be sacked. If he was mocking black or Jewish people in a similar vein, the Stock Exchange would instantly remove him and the Church would relieve him of his duties. He is not even fit to be a parish priest."
But the rector insisted that he meant to harm: "I wrote some satirical things on my blog and anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they're light-hearted jokes. I certainly have nothing against homosexuals. Many of my dear friends have been and are of that persuasion. What I have got against them is the militant preaching of homosexuality."
Whether the belt-and-braces guarantee handed to Irish savers, or the somewhat complex partial guarantee Chancellor Angela Merkel is offering to German banking customers, steps have been taken to stem the outflow of money from savers and corporate and institutional investors alike.
But in the UK, there remains largely silence. In spite of the Financial Services Authority moving on Friday to raise the guarantee on private savings from £35,000 per person to £50,000, the move was long awaited, and largely a token one.
As British savers see their cousins over the water in Ireland or in continental Europe moving protected, so the Government must move to reassure savers that the future of the British banking sector is assured.
The latest plan - to invest taxpayer's money in major banks so boosting their balance sheets so as to allow them to begin lending again - is an interesting one.
Not only does it offer a potential solution to the stagnation in the mortgage market, but it will also be viewed as an indirect guarantee of the British banking sector, one that is increasingly needed.
The devil will of course be in the detail, but when Chancellor Alistair Darling takes to his feet in the House of Commons this afternoon, he must do so with conviction.
Saying nothing is not an option. Vocal reassurance will not be enough. Darling must act, (The prat has been acting all along, now is time for him to resign and let someone who knows what they are doing to step in) and do so quickly, before British banks begin to go the way of their continental cousins.
We cant wait to see what inducements those foreign johnny's will be offering to temp British savers cash over to them! Great thing European Unity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
