John,

Promise me one thing: When we travel to West Chester together you will not continue with your haranguing (and would-be hanging) of David Cameron.
Please.

Jayne

[John Whitworth]

Why, Jayne? Don't you want to hang him? Surely all right-thinking people do. But no, I don't talk about the fellow at all. This stuff isn't talking, for God's sake. We will gossip as we always do.

[Brian Allgar]

No, I don't want to hang him, John. I'm opposed to the death sentence, "a cruel and unusual punishment". But I would be entirely in favour of punishing him in an extremely cruel, but more usual, way - such as making him pay taxes on all that money he's got stashed away.

I think he's one of those scholarly Christians who believe that the words "sell what you possess and give to the poor" are a mis-translation, and that what Jesus actually meant to say was "steal all you can from the poor, and hang on to it for dear life".
