A rare moment

+I think there’s too much going on in the world today for me to find time to read the report of the inquiry into child abuse in the Church of England. Top lining the news tonight, it has garnered the usual wringing hands response from the C of E, but there’ll be no resignations, no accountability at the top. It rather begs the question of where is the top in the C of E? Surely that’s somewhere in the divine stratosphere, where everything comes down to God’s will. I suppose it does. I wonder how many child abusing clerics justified their actions to themselves with a reference to  Abraham’s promise to God to fulfil His command to slaughter his son Isaac? The C of E rather answers the age old question about whether you need the divine to lead a moral life.
 
+It’s rare that I feel inclined to support Boris Johnson but his pledge to massively boost wind power should be supported. I know he’s probably over-promising again, and maybe doesn’t even expect it to happen, but he has stirred up some of his antediluvian backbenchers to protest. Not just them. Here’s Labour’s Deputy Leader Angela Rayner (according to the Daily Mail) ‘Labour also suggested the PM should be focusing on the pandemic, with deputy leader Angela Rayner saying Mr Johnson should 'set out how he will get a grip and tackle the crisis at hand'.  Open letter to Angela: Dear Angela, The climate crisis is a thousand times worse than Covid-19. You get a grip. Yours etc., CC.
