Tuesday, October 28th, 2003

From guardian.co.uk:

The chattering classes - educated men and women who are comfortably off, rise with the Today programme and retire after some dinner-party philosophising - pride themselves on being tolerant, sensible and humane.

Their churches are led by child abusers and autocratic bigots; their faithful are out of touch and out to convert.
