"ARTISTIC expression was dealt a blow yesterday when weak-kneed executives at Classic FM decided to end its promotion of Eric Idle’s show Not the Messiah.
The show, which celebrates 40 years of Monty Python, was originally promoted on air and on the station’s website and was the subject of a competition for tickets to a screening, but was dropped by the head of the station after Stephen “Birdshit” Green orchestrated a campaign against the promotion of a ‘militant atheist production’.
Reacting to news that the national radio station had caved into demands from devotees of this vindictive bigot, the British Humanist Association’s campaign officer Pepper Harow said:
"We are hugely disappointed by the judgement taken by the head of Classic FM to effectively ban promotion of this show. There are no blasphemy laws in this country anymore and this decision is entirely unjustifiable."

If Eric freaking Idle can get banned from British radio for blasphemy, there is no hope.
