Muslim gorefest of women murdered in allah's name.
Sickening barbarity. How can it happen in a civilised world?
Protest the Pope
So the police are gearing up to monitor any threats to Benny's visit in September. Story here. I was thinking of a few things that I could arrange.
How about a few of us taking a slow drive down the M6 when he is in Coventry?
Or we could buy a job lot of shop mannequins like these 9-11 year olds and wander round town with them dressed as chiorboys.
We could get dressed up in the full bishop regalia, although the staff may be construed as an offensive weapon, or we could all be pope benny look-alikes for the day. I think dressing as hitler youth may be a bit in bad taste. What about being a Swiss Guard for the day?
As the main threat appears to be perceived as coming from Islam, perhaps we should dress up in flowing robes and burkas and mingle with the crowds. We could keep our usual clothes in a backpack for easy access.
Anyone got any other ideas? I will drop the police a line just to check that we aren't doing anything illegal, after all it is 'me old mucker' Meredydd, speed king extrordinaire, who is running the show.

Beatifying John Henry
I thought they were going to 'Beautify' John Henry Newman when the Pope pops over in September, like give him vouchers to get a spray tan, a facial, remove his nose and ear hair and get a good haircut that won't scare young children, then have a picture taken and hung in a cathedral somewhere.
However, I notice on the BBC News that the word is 'Beatify'. What does that involve then? I have never heard of anyone being beatified before. Will it hurt? Does it involve a rythm?
Personally, I would have gone for John Henry Bonham to receive the accolade. He was from around the West Midlands as well and did a lot more than write a few books and convet from anglicism to catholicism. Just listen to the riff he lays down in 'Kashmir' and the bass pedal triplets in 'Good Times, Bad Times' and tell me he doesn't deserve to be beatified. No-one could play just behind the beat like Mr Bonham.
