Satanists in the navy

Wow. The Royal Navy has recognised Satanism as a religion its sailors can practise. The days of “rum, sodomy, and the lash” are long gone — or are they coming back?

Predictably, the Tories (in the guise of Anne Widdecombe) are fuming. “Let’s hope this doesn’t spread” she says.

Well, if I were an aspiring Satanist, the fact the fuddy-duddy Royal Navy thinks my religion is legit would be a major turn-off. What will the angst-ridden youth of today use to shock society next?
