I loved his mother, Molly Sugden, in "Are You Being Served". It is time Mr Sugden dyed his hair purple like Mrs Slocombe. Without Mr Sugden, the Church of England would be a duller place. He provides hours of harmless laughter. I wonder if his mother ever found her pussy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-6408448383355939722011-02-18T16:06:17.315+00:002011-02-18T16:06:17.315+00:00Chris Sugden is a skilled tactical politician!

When the government talks about giving permission to allow churches to bless same-sex partnerships, Chris Sugden take the opportunity to twist the message (by inference) into a legal demand for same-sex blessings in church - and thus the government's move becomes a form of "intimidation". His tactics remind me so much of that snake-like weedling in the Garden of Eden, "Did God really say . . ." Amazing how a shift of emphasis can so change the meaning of something, delibertately misleading everyone. You were absolutely right Benny when you replied "This misses the point . . ." You were the voice of sense and reason in a world of homophobic manipulation.Jeremy Markshttp://www.courage.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-33188361852268447292011-02-18T15:33:40.229+00:002011-02-18T15:33:40.229+00:00I had the misfortune to sit behind him at a recent...I had the misfortune to sit behind him at a recent Anglican Mainstream conference and share the peace with him. All I can say is that he is a monster!

I think the paranoia about "intimidation" arise from that mind set that cannot connect with reality and is deeply fearful.Suemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128736092253293640noreply@blogger.com
