Irreverend: Faith and Current Affairs Britain's Rape Gang Problem: Sin, Silence, and the State
Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest storiesin church and state. This time:
- The UK rape gang scandal goes international as Elon Musk calls Keir Starmer an apologist for genocide and says that Jess Phillips should be in prison.
- The Children's Welfare and Schools Bill looks set to enforce a woke curriculum across all schools and take the right to home educate away from parents.
- Justin Welby steps down and Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell steps up to take charge of the CofE. His first move to combat managerial failure? More managerialism of course!
- And we conduct our yearly review of the King's Christmas Speech: Politics? Theology? Controversy? There's a little bit of everything.
All that and a bit more as ever. Enjoy!
