Trust the BBC not to lose a chance like this so as to get their leftie rhetoric over.

And you are paying for it.

/// Left-winger Rev Giles Fraser, who quit as canon of St Paul's Cathedral in support of the ultra Left-wing Occupy London protests, is also involved in the episode. ///

Leftie rhetoric on Songs of Praise?

[naomi24]

Why?

[naomi24]

Haha! Noooo .... I meant ... You know what I meant. That was funny though. :o)

[Gromit]

Yep.

Christ was a leftie.

Well, Jesus was a rebel 'leftie' in his time (but upheld the law - 'Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's'). Debateable as to the BBC's motives.

I, personally, am perturbed about this - given that I think that the majority of the occupants of 'the Jungle' are Muslim. Typical of the BBC attitude of 'wishy-washy', 'feelgood' approach to religion. For hard-hitting discussion you need R4; but who knows how long even that will last?

Did anyone watch it?
It was interesting to see that some in the camp were genuine Christians and I can see why fellow Chrsitians would want to support those living in squalor. In the interviews we heard several stories about how difficult life was in their countries of origin, and some were asked about why they feel the need to break the law or risk their lives, but in the bits I saw no-one asked them "but now you're safely in Europe why risk your life by trying to get to England?"

You're not really Senator McCarthy are you ?

I take it you are asking anotheroldgit and not me, canary42.
I thought it was appropriate for Sogs of Praise to include this topic

Isn't France an avowedly Godless country? Perhaps they'd feel better, more secure, here where we have an established Christian church.

Didn't see it. Is it true that the congregation were 'segregated'?
