All those pagans have been bashing Melanie Philips of the Daily Mail for writing a bigoted ill-researched piece of drivel about Druidry last week, but the fact is that she actually came with a good idea amongst her nonsensical ramblings.
I refer to her suggestion of having “Stones of Praise” as a Television programme.
Just imagine – in all seriousness – what such a programme would involve. It would be half an hour of a load of pagans having a good old sing-song, intercut with short interviews of individual pagans showing what they get up to in their daily lives, the kind of work they get up to, etc. We could have featured guest musicians in each programme, such as Julian Cope, Ian Read, Damh The Bard, etc.
I think this would actually be quite fun! Quick – call the BBC! 🙂
Can’t say I was surprised at this from Melanie Phillips or the Daily Mail for that matter.
Phillips is a nasty small minded sensationalist who seems to take great delight in slamming anything that falls outside of what she personally deems acceptable.
Perfect fit for a Daily Mail journalist.
