An odd thought, prompted by this post.
Polly T is, as we know, the head honcho at the British Humanist Association (or is it the National Secular Society? Well, whichever, makes the same point).
She is also, as we know, very much a Statist.
So, at that critical moment, does she cry out "Oh State, Oh State"?
“So, at that critical moment, does she cry out “Oh State, Oh State”?”
That question is making a massive assumption.
Probably “Oh Gordon, Oh Gordon”.
Polly’s the British Humanist’s current figurehead, but she doesn’t normally have much to do with the running of the Humanists.
She’s a bad choice for President, in my view. But then the BHA does tend to be a more lefty bunch than similar organizations elsewhere.
There’s a cracking cartoon in the current issue of Private Eye in very much the same vein about Richard Dawkins.
There’s an image I didn’t want in my head….
