I started my Christmas break by driving over to Walthamstow to meet with our techie chap Angelo at Technology for Business Goals. We had a few database issues to discuss but were frustrated as the server in Watford needed rebooting. Fortunately, the wonderful Farzana was in the office and was able to sort our problem out.

Today, Desmond Tutu gave a powerful speech urging South Africa to do more to resolve the humanitarian disaster in Zimbabwe. Tutu has a strong moral compass. Not so the Pope who today said saving humanity from homosexuality was as important as saving the rainforests. No-one seriously expects commonsense from the Pope. But instead of satirising his ridiculous ravings or keeping a dignified silence, BBC Radio 4 held a serious studio discussion about what the “Holy Father” really meant!
