Anglican Mainstream

It was always axiomatic that if Dave Cameron wanted to display unimpeachable credentials as the Heir of Blair, then he would have to demonstrate that he had inherited the hotline to God, the divine inspiration and easy familiarity with the Deity that distinguished his predecessor. Nothing less would prove he was truly the reincarnated Lama. Now Dave has duly manifested his destiny as the anointed successor of Tony, by assuming supreme authority in matters spiritual as well as temporal.

 

He did so in a terse directive to Archbishop Rowan Williams, telling him the Church of England needed to clean up its act and stop behaving as if there was something morally reprehensible about homosexuality, as Christianity has mistakenly been doing for 2,000 years. The vehicle Dave employed was the homosexual magazine Attitude which, for the Cameron Tory Party, has effectively supplanted the Church Times.

 

What was most impressive, however, was the prophetic insight that the Notting Hill Seer brought to his new, divinely inspired, revelation “That if our Lord Jesus was around today he would very much be backing a strong agenda on equality and equal rights, and not judging people on their sexuality.” Obviously Dave has a knowledge of the mind of God that has not been vouchsafed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, or, for that matter, the Pope. Now he has spoken ex cathedra: Dave locuto, causa finita. This is the clearest evidence we have seen to date that Dave has inherited the spiritual mantle of Tony.
