Second Thought for the day

Jayne Manfredi - Unimaginatively manipulative desperation from Anglican

Catastrophic attempt to string together meaning from Manfredi. She opens with seemingly dishonest assessment of John Lennon's Imagine. Manages to troll Philip Larkin in same sentence. Gets worse.

John Studzinski - Very poor advice on what, and how, to fear

After quite a lot of rubbish about what in the world we should fear, John Studzinski makes outlandish claims on channeling his soul as an effective means to handle fear.

Daniel Greenberg - Unsound claims about the existence of words from late idiosyncratic rabbi

Greenberg delivers a harmless broadcast but reinforces a hypercorrection from an age of pedantic linguistic elitism. Oh, and a small case of exaggeration.

Jennifer Smith - A merciless tour through how Christianity tortured a word to death

Listen to Methodist preacher, Jennifer Smith, repeatedly demonstrate a failure to understand mercy. Which is forgivable, given what her brethren did to the poor word.

Rev Martin Wroe - surnames, just-so stories and other muppetry from the volunteer vicar

Martin reveals his indifference to his audience by making a very silly claim about the origins of surnames that even a moment's self doubt would have prevented.
