I didn&#039;t manage to get far enough to hear Matthew. The CofE bloke whiffling on about his church being a poor little David with his four stones who would prevail in the end against the massive Goliath of us lot drove me to a choice of throwing the radio through the window or turning to 6Music. 6Music won. 

PS That&#039;s the poor little church whose chaplains in hospitals, prisons and the armed forces get paid by us, one of the largest land owners in the country whose bishops in the Lords have attempted to block every extension of human rights in this country from the abolition of slavery through to gay marriage. The poor little church who forced my daughter-in-law to go to church to get my grandson into the nearest school. If she hadn&#039;t then he couldn&#039;t have got into the next nearest school either as that&#039;s CofE too, as is the third closest which is where he would have ended up, so it was the choice of a good CofE church down the road or a crap CofE a bus ride away. To give him credit, the local vicar thought it was crap too and put on special, very short monthly services for atheists just so their kids can go to the local school.
