Right now, as I type, the "morning service" on BBC Radio four is about Cricket as a Metaphor for Life.
It consists of two or three blokes with plummy voices wibbling on about cricket interspersed with some rather nice old hymns sung by a plummy-voiced choir with no discernable congregation and clips of commetary from old Ashes matches.
I kid you not. Apparently faith and cricket have a lot in common - they both come in handy when you are in a sticky situation.
No more evidence is needed if anyone doubts that the BBC is totally committed to a secularist liberal establishment statist policy.
O God, they really just did compare Jesus to the Man of the Match. Apparently they are both Ezekiel's man who stands in the gap.
This is a form of discourse developed a hundred years ago to persuade young boys to kill and be killed for queen and country, and to tell their mothers and sisters not to blub too much. I hope no non-Christians or potential converts are listening. The ranks of atheism and Islam are swelling.
If St Boniface were alive today he'd burn down Broadcasting House.
How long Oh Lord?
