And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, happy 75th anniversary of the publication of Animal Farm everybody!

Which brings me neatly to WH Auden. In a work of fiction he proved that the Invisible Magic Friend is not indifferent and that only Christians can see the value of every human being.

In Christianity, everybody is equal. Christians never dress up one group of people in finery and given them silly titles or big pointy hats, or insist that only the half of the population with the correct genitals are eligible.

In Christianity, absolutely everybody is equal, except when it comes to 3 minute BBC thoughts. OK, maybe some are more equal than others.
