George Carey

Press clippings

Ann Widdecombe investigates why Christianity has become a favourite for mockery by comedians. She thinks that the jokes are becoming nastier and aimed at belief itself rather than the institution. She wonders what this says about the place of Christianity in Britain today and asks whether any subject should be beyond critique. Comedians interviewed include Terry Jones and Marcus Brigstocke, plus there's input from baroness Sayeeda Warsi and former archbishop Lord George Carey.
