He better remove any globe from his office to avoid offending Flat Earthers. Idiot.
Yet another victory for the ROP. More than the camel’s nose has entered the tent in the UK.
Nothing is keeping the cadets from saying the creed. Should they still possess cojones (which they do), they’ll do so.
Chip chip chipping away,,,
I'd hazard a guess that the camel has first entered his posterior.
*&%$ Laodicean!
My sentiments exactly,
However, the Queen is supposed to be the Defender of the Faith, among her many titles, and it is within her jurisdiction to fire that liberal and likely queer son of a bitch and it is high time that should be done.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I wonder why none of the royals ever stand up for England. It’s not like they’re ever going to lose an election or anything.
Oh, and I love the line about ‘offending religious minorities’ (muslims). Hey, I got new for ya. Any religion that has over a billion and a half members is certainly not a minority. Grow some balls for Christ’s sake!
I read somewhere that Prince Charles favored taking the "the" out of the title and making it simply "the Defender of Faith" in order to avoid offending the Muslims.
ICHABOD!

Why is the faith of these people so weak that they have no problem dismissing Christ? Isn’t it the duty of Christians to, when possible, exhibit their beliefs in the hopes that more people will be brought to the Savior? I don’t mean they should beat someone over the head with it, but to lead by example. Do Muslims worry about offending when they pray five times a day? I don’t think so.
