I know “disagreeing agreeably” is your mantra, but l was disappointed – as a 78-year-old born again atheist – by your failure (is it too dark to call it craven failure?) to challenge Justin Welby on some issues. The place in the interview that had me shouting at the iPad was when, in the context of the C of E’s global stance on gay marriage (there’s oxymoron for you…): the flippant, smooth, lily-livered observation that what they offer in England is a “simple service of welcome and blessing” echoed 100% on every level with the Prince Andrew comment that entertaining Epstein at at Sandringham was “a simple, straightforward shooting weekend “ (apologies for not quoting verbatim, but it’s just after lunch so I can’t risk looking it up exactly in case I throw up) .
Disappointed in you! Huge fan of the podcast, and loved the Manchester live event: bought a Rory tee shirt and a copy of Why Politics Matters for my grandson.
