Dr Krish Kandiah

Do you hate foreigners? Fortunately, the major political parties are now competing for your vote by trying to out-hate each other. The only ones preaching hope, not hate, is Christianity. Well, them and the Greens.

Rev Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James Piccadilly, handy for Fortnum and Mason

The largest Martian meteorite ever to land on Earth, has been sold at auction to the highest bidder. Both the buyer and the seller remain anonymous.

This is a spiritual matter. So much so that I’m suprised that no one asked a representative of the Church of England to rule on the morality of selling bits of Mars at auction.

Staggeringly Revd Nicholas Baines, Bishop of Leeds, West Yorkshire, the Dales and any other bits that can’t afford their own bishop any more

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, The Lord’s Prayer. Which brings me neatly to those protesting against the proscription of Palestine Action.

These wicked protesters, like the former magistrate and retired school principal, have been arrested as terrorists. Palestine Action, which you must never express any hint of support for, have terrorised the Royal Air Force by throwing paint at their planes. They have terrorised the President of the United States by digging holes on one of his golf course. Pure evil.

Whatever you do, do NOT say that you support Palestine Action. I repeat, do NOT say that you support Palestine Action. Saying that you support Palestine Action, or even giving the mearest suggestion that you support Palestine Action, or even saying the words “Palestine Action”, will invite a midnight knock on your door from the men in masks with automatic weapons.

SS Cyg Goes Bang, More Veil and the Wizard

SS Cyg, the white and red dwarves, orbiting each other only half the distance between us and the moon, have gone bang. Still waiting for T Cor Bor to do the same. I’ve been watching it since April last year.

Probably my final image of the Veil nebula in Cygnus.

I’m still missing some bits at the top and bottom, but I’m not sure if I’ll manage to get those this year.

And finally, the Wizard Nebula.
