The Outrage that is St Judes

People in South Ulverston are still reeling from the injustice of the sale and demolition of their prize baby- St Judes.

There is no way other way to see this, I believe, than that the people of the Church of England, Church of St Mary in town are a greedy lot of hypocrites.

If you are one of them then please defend yourselves. Stating the above doesn't mean that you are all bad but that you do bear a collective responsibility for what has happened. It is convenient to think that "it's nothing to do with me - we had to follow the rules".

Your church was tarted up with money from the pockets of the people of South Ulverston. It was they that scraped and saved and campaigned for their new church in the 6o's. Now they don't even have the asbestos shack that was our church then.

The excuse put forward by Rev Bing that the central office has to maximise its profits cuts no ice at a time where the rich are becoming richer and there is a feeling of general outrage at the inequalities that exist across Britain.

We all know what is going on and we feel powerless because "this is allowed by the law".

This is the kind of statement that fueled revolutions in the past and I believe our country is heading in that direction.

It won't be long before the effects of this wave of irrational rage hits our sleepy smug town that chooses to ignore injustices of the kind meted out to the people of South Ulverston.
