Paul Flowers the banker and the minister of religion

Paul Flowers. The banker and minister of religion.

Paul Flowers surely is a metaphor for that mix of religion, spoof, money and deviant sexual behaviour.

The tighter the hands are clasped, the more genuflections that are made, the more holy sounding words that are issued, then ususally one knows it is terrible spoof.

It's the 'behind the back/scene stuff', the 'cute hoor' syndrome that makes it all so nauseating. That 'holier than thou' attitude. And not to forget the holy sounding voice with the fake intonations.

It is that cocktail of deviant sex, spoof religion and a crazy conservatism that is most worrying.
