That thing run by Phyllis Schlafly's even more insane son, for Pete's sake. @David Jensen: if you honestly think Conservapedia is representative of American thought, you’re nearly as bigoted as the creeps trying to pass that bill.

He retaliated by having a number of missionaries killed..." Heh, come on some sense of equity here. It is not perfectly understandable to kill people just because they say things about your lifestyle that really piss you off! I suspect, however, that Mwanga knew what the British track reord was, and knew that the missionaries were a prelude to invasion and colonisation. “So Mwanga did a bad, but perfectly understandable thing.

Adamant that his every 'witnessing', petty grievance and thought-of-the-day is deserving of media coverage, how disappointing when he goes all the way to Brighton and nothing really happens besides rain! Solution: drag that pretend high horse about Gay Pride racism back out. Stephen Green rarely fails to put a smile on my face.

It's to be hoped this gets emailed to Akinola and co. – not that they'd take any of it seriously, preferring to believe the stories sent back by the missionaries to the reality of what was found there: life as it has always been, in all its sexual diversity What an eye-opening piece of journalism, Barry, to those of us sadly lacking a knowledge of African history.
