Ruth Kelly

Crawled out of bed at about lunchtime today.

Wasn't expecting Jesus H Christ to play much of a role in the rest of the day, but find he has Come, anyway.

Gordon Brown's cabinet, as most of you will probably know, contains a number of career Jesus freaks - Ruth Kelly and Des Browne are the main offenders, and there are a couple of others whose names and point in life escape me for the moment... anyway, Ruthie and her fellow holy-rollers want Gordon to make it right for Catholics in parliament who are planning to vote against aspects of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill is dear to our hearts here, not least because we're trying to stop followers of the Lord amend the Abortion Act through it. Now Ruthie and pals are taking issue with the aspect of the bill that will allow children to be born by IVF without a father's involvement - ie, that will permit lesbians to produce a child, indoctrinate it in their strange and hairy ways, bring it up without a father, and turn it into a Gay.
