The English Inquisition
October 27, 2009
“Well, I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition!”
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
Mrs. Pauline Howe of Norwich, England did not expect the English Inquisition either. But they came after she had written a complaint to her local city council about their issuing a permit to a gay group to hold a rally. In return, she received a letter warning her she might be guilty of a hate crime and that the matter had been passed to police. Two officers later turned up at the home of the 67-year-old grandmother and pastor’s wife, and the officers entered her home and lectured her about her choice of words before telling her she would not be prosecuted. The enforcers of tolerance will not tolerate such writing, and the commandos of diversity will not allow divergent viewpoints.
If you didn’t recognize the Spanish Inquisition quote above, you really need some remedial education, which I am glad to provide below:
As a bonus, here is a photo of me “on trial” at the Museum of the Inquisition in Lima, Peru, in January, 2007.
