A council in County Antrim has reversed a decision to cancel a play that some councillors had said was blasphemous

Religion tag? Christianity tag?

Um, Ireland tag, really? There are Northern Ireland/UK tags you know...

So typical of Free P/DUP/no fun councilors though, jfc. Surprised they reversed the decision though.

A friend of mine once tried to organise a cross community children's 5-a-side football event involving all the main parties. Harmless, right? Except no, the DUP wouldn't play ball because the event would be "on the Sabbath". That's the kind of stone age thinking we have to put with from politicians around here. Common sense is at a premium.

I freaking love the Reduced Shakespeare Company.

I was going to post the same thing.

Same. And having gone to a showing of this particular play, I didn't find it disrespectful at all, it's just as tongue-in-cheek, self-aware and absolutely fun as all their other plays.
