Dear friends from Scotland, England, Wales, and indeed every part of the English-speaking world, I want you to know that I keep all of you very much in my prayers during this Holy Season. I pray for your families, for your children, for those who are sick, and for those who are going through any form of hardship at this time. I pray especially for the elderly and for those who are approaching the end of their days. I ask Christ, the light of the nations, to dispel whatever darkness there may be in your lives and to grant to every one of you the grace of a peaceful and joyful Christmas. May God bless all of you!

Pope Benedict XVI, Thought for the Day, 24 December 2010.

Not for one second do I think that this complete freak and his bevvy of dress wearing basket cases forgot Northern Ireland, they simply don't see it as part of the United Kingdom. Thought for the day is a shocker; it's about time taxpayers money stopped subsidising these superstitious nutjobs PR machines.

Whilst I do enjoy a listen to the Today Programme, I've often wondered why Thought for The Day is always provided by the sorts it is, its never a single mum from a council house in Hull for example, are her thoughts not just as valid?

More valid. She would be living in reality and not a dream world.

Single mum in Hull? Are you sure they exist?

And there's me thinking this was the Tommy Sheridan thread.

The BBC news webpage is all over this. In what way is it "news", exactly?

The fawning coverage of the Pope's visit and now this pointless radio broadcast is absolutely nauseating.

I don't want leaders of the various sects of the bizarre, sometimes evil cult inflicting themselves on me at this time of year thanks.

Quite.

Indeed, though the evidence for the existence of his holi-ness the monster is considered flaky by some, it is far more convincing than that for an invisible, omnipresent, mind-reading cosmic spook.

Would have been funny if His Holiness broke into a chorus of Tomorrow Belongs To Me at the end of the message.

Are we edging towards the invocation of Godwin's Law here?

A very reasonable point, thought perhaps Millman would be happier if he took a moment to relax and contemplate each morning?

Aye, there is still no excuse for being German, eh?

Relaxation, happiness and contemplation? Man up you soft sod.

Religion should have to follow the same rules of all advertisers.

1. Not on the BBC.

2. You must have evidence that your claims are true.
