I thought Mrs.Browns Priests sketch was great.I think it said a lot :-D :-D.

It was a bed and breakfast I believe?


"Delivering her judgment, Miss Recorder Moulder said: "In my view the application of the regulations to the defendant's bed and breakfast establishment does not prevent her from holding her religious beliefs but she has chosen to operate a commercial business for financial purposes.

"The business is conducted from her home but it is still a business"

See the court judgement..

bet they wouldn't have dared to sack if they were another religion other than christian.
mustn't upset the ethnics
same when a couple refused to allow same sex couples in their guest house on religious grounds they go sued( they also refused unmarried couples of opposite sex on the same basis)fare enough if it was commercial hotel but when it is also your own home you should have some say on what happens in it.
i beleive they got variouse threat and hate mail as well

A registrar is appointed by a government body to perfom a public duty for all ,if personal feelings come into it to refuse to do that duty then sack them as they arent commited to carry the full extent of that appointed employment,,,.imo.

Yes terrj I watched Mrs Browns Boys on iPlayer .....only cos I missed it on Monday !
Point well put over.

yes i am seriouse
it made a lot of points people have tried to make on here but much bettter
when the 2 priests wre put on the spot was very good

About three years ago, a registrar lost her job because she felt unable to conduct civil partnership ceremonies.

I don't think they should be forced - have a feeling though that a registrar refused to marry a same sex couple in a register office and she was reprimanded

Hypothetically speaking, supposing a same sex couple wanted to marry, whether it be in a church / other building of religion or a register office or other wedding venue, if any clergy or registrar felt uncomfortable about conducting the ceremony, should they be forced to do so?

Are you serious!

did anyone watch mrs browns boys this week
it dealt with the subject of same sex marriage and made some interesting points
if you can't stand the language watch it on i player and fast forwrd to the point where the 2 priests are sat at the kitchen table and the end when the 2 priests return to the house

FANTASTIC EMMA................. WELL DONE THE LADS :-D :-D

oh Gawd - don't start him off again - and you know he's the fount of all knowledge

Off topic bu Cocoa John's account of the origins of Tesco and its name are not entirely correct. The finance came from a Jewish family, Edme.

Totally agree with Tec's post . I've not added before but I couldn't have said it better !!

I especially agree with the second paragraph .
