Advice for Tim Farron
I have never been one for God-bothering: I rather take the view that the old boy does not need my advice. I have even been known to turn Radio Rutland off when the Revd Hughes comes on to do his ‘Thought for the Day’; I can, after all, hear him giving it both barrels in St Asquith’s every Sunday.
So it is that I have always advised Farron to stay clear of religion when he speaks. He, however, never takes a blind bit of notice. Not only that, he is obsessed with what chaps get up to together. As I once told him, “If you had been through public school and the Army like me, and campaigned in as many rural by-elections as I have, you would be unshockable.” He doesn’t take any notice of that either.
All this is by way of saying that I did not listen to Farron’s interview on Radio Jesus, or whatever it calls itself, and I would advise you not to listen to it either. Come to that, I would advise Farron not to listen to himself. Otherwise I fear he will go on a mission for the Society for the Suppression of Vice Amongst the Uzbeks, or some such body, and never be heard of again.
