Here is the News…
…and, as the Americans would say: “It’s all Pope, all the time!”
I’ve just spent time trawling through the TV news channels trying to find non-Pope news. Apart from 10 minutes of sport on BBC News24, there’s nothing.
It was bad enough last week, when every news bulletin led with 10 minutes or more of reporters telling us that the old bastard still wasn’t dead. Now they’re telling us that he is dead, ad nauseum.
You’re quite right – I’m not a fan of the Pope or the Catholic Church. As an ex-catholic, I am repelled by such worship and obedience given to one old man. He’s dead, so bury the bugger.
Of course, once the funeral’s done, we’ll be inundated with speculation about who’s next for the big throne. Then of course, it will be the Royal Wedding…. Arrrgghhh!!!
Good job the internet news sites aren’t entirely given over to the big story – I can still find out what’s happening in the world.
