BBC Director-General George Entwistle gave evidence in the House of Commons today.
The similarities between the behaviour of Mr Entwistle today and Irish bishops, provincials, congregational leaders answering questions on similar topics is really incredible.
The body language, the words, the nonsense, all the fake authority gone, it is an amazing story.
Compare George Entwistle's performance today to the loftiness he demonstrated just one month ago when it was announced he had been appointed BBC D-G.
Last Sunday's Gospel is well worth a re-read.
The madness of allowing people in authority, anyone, in State or church, get away with all the arrogant, pompous rot is just that, madness.
Last Sunday's Gospel speaks about the role of leadership as one of service, indeed, 'slavery'.
We must be far worse than the Pharisees.
