The Tuesday Redirect Blog
My current fave blog, The Friday Thing News Blog, is now back under the umbrella of Hangingday. In one of their latest pieces, they quote Bishop Sentamu’s ‘Longford Lecture’:
“The recent conflict in Iraq saw a situation where the US and UK governments flouted the will of the UN Security Council and invaded Iraq. Upon achieving a military victory, they then went back to the UN Security Council and secured a resolution which gave them power over the spoils of a war which they conducted without approval. How would this global action work locally? It is like a group of men from across the street, having been refused permission by the courts to do so, coming to your home and kicking the door down. Once they have found your credit cards they then go to court where they get approval to spend your money for an indefinite period while they promise to look after your best interests.”
I have to agree with Hangingday when it says:
It’s about fucking time. An Anglican Bishop gets political
…
(On the subject of Bishops speaking out – whatever happened to Rowan Williams??)
Still, no matter what you’re opinion on Anglican Bishops or Iraq, do check out Hangingday, ‘cos it has lots of funny stuff.
nice quote..
