Might have taught Religious Studies for 25 years but have acquired a pretty negative view of most faiths along the way, especially recently when it comes to America and all that cultish, quasi-Christian QAnon bollocks that has taken root there, and now the prospect of Roe v.

Thought James Anderton had died ages ago. Always liked ‘God’s Cop’, that Happy Mondays song about him.
