   Of course, it’s not just Dr Who that’s Farage’s target. He would have the BBC stop producing any populist programming which draws an audience, arguing that this is going beyond the Beeb’s public service broadcasting remit. Without all this costly populist programming, he could then cut the licence fee. Wait a few years, and then the BBC would come under attack again for not drawing an audience because it only broadcasts dull-but-worthy content, justifying the defunding and closure of the BBC entirely. Such is the fantasy of the hard-core loony right, who view the BBC as a vast left-wing conspiracy.

It’s well recognised that the kind of Christians who go around insisting on religious freedom laws so they can be allowed to discriminate against gays and Jews and single mothers and whoever else they’ve decided to hate are part of a loud but small minority who arguably have distorted Jesus’ creed of love into one of hate.

   In my experience, most Christians rub along in the world just fine. It’s just the loony few who give Christianity a bad name. (As is true of every religion, really.)
