The House Of Lords has refused to hear a petition of appeal brought by Christian types Christian Voice regarding their long running campaign against the BBC for screening 'Jerry Springer - The Opera'. The lobbying group was seeking to overturn that High Court ruling that prevented it from pursuing its legal case against the Beeb under blasphemy laws. But the Law Lords said that the group's petition did not "raise an arguable point of law of general public importance", while adding that they'd spoken to God about the whole thing and that he hadn't seem too bothered - apparently he'd just mumbled something about "turning the other cheek".
But Christian Voice didn't seem too convinced, calling the Law Lords decision an "ignoble move". Their National Director, Stephen Green, added: "It brings down the judgement of God on us all. I love my neighbour and I do not want that to happen".
