Demonstrating against Jesus

That's what you were doing on March 26th. If you are a member of the PCS, UCU, ATL, NUT, CWU or RMT you'll probably be striking against Jesus on June 30th. Let down by the measly Rally for Destitution and Unemployment, sorry, Rally against Debt (btw, are the few hundred people ralling against debt against tuition fees? I bet they aren't); David Cameron has recruited the highest power there is to his cause:

Mr Cameron told church leaders they would be “absolutely right” to claim Jesus founded the Big Society 2,000 years ago, joking: “I’m not saying we’ve invented some great new idea here.”


Perhaps we should be reassured, the Son of God failed to put in an appearance yesterday. Perhaps Cameron isn't going to rely on him too heavily. But, can tell the difference between mankind's redeemer and the guy who worked at Carlton TV? What about, say, their attitude to the weak and vulnerable? Jesus, we are told, healed the sick. David Cameron, we know, likes to kick their crutches away.
