Stating the obvious

From the Guardian we get the Spanish version of the atheist bus. So what's the big news? Well apparently it's being branded "an attack on all religions"; well duh. So presumably notices telling me that Jesus Saves etc is an attack on atheism, well yeah but those are okay as who wants to defend those hell-bound godless heathens?

Heh a nasty thought tells me that this reaction would be exactly the same if the advertisement was "Join the Wiccans".

In other news the head of MI5 goes off message with Terror Threat Falls before someone activated the chip in his head to make him spout "There is a seedbed of networks of extremism in the UK from where attacks could come.". That's right folks we've done our job of defending you and you're much safer now except you're not. So stay afraid, give us more funding and stop questioning those emergency extra powers that allow us to cart you off without notice if you so much as sneeze funny.
