A small victory

Poor Ruth Kelly, the British Communities Secretary and Member of Parliament for Opus Dea, must be down in the mouth today over the news that the cabinet has rejected her plans for special considerations in the proposed anti-discrimination laws that would have allowed the Catholic Church to continue to refuse to offer services, such as adoptions or accommodation, to gays. The same must be true of her mentor, the Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, who seems to be heading down the path to Catholicism himself.

I can only say: "too fucking bad" or perhaps the more considered words of Consitutional Affairs minister, Harriet Harman, might be more appropriate:
"You can't be a little bit against discrimination."
