Exeter University 2008 - top: The Welsh society;middle: the cheerleading society;
bottom: CU meeting (under Mr Shaw's radical new proposals)
Some of you will remember or still be following the case of Exeter Uni CU. Apparently Mark Shaw QC, the independent adjudicator appointed by Exeter University, to look into the case has now presented his adjudication. He strongly criticises the constitution of Exeter CU because it restricts membership to Christians, despite the fact its meetings were open to everyone – of all faiths and none. He holds it discriminatory that the CU should be run by Christians and held that the guild policies in forcing the CU to be led by members open to other faiths was "laudable". Most bizarrely, in paragraph 92 (4) of his adjudication, he even goes on to suggest that on the Exeter University campus, the
'Welsh Society should be open to Scottish members; the wine society open to teetotal members, the choral society should be open to non-singing members, and the cheerleading society should be open to male members ...' Yeah, right.
'Welsh Society should be open to Scottish members; the wine society open to teetotal members, the choral society should be open to non-singing members, and the cheerleading society should be open to male members ...' Yeah, right.

Mark Shaw's ruling about Muslims involvement in a CU or teetotallers with Wine societies makes one think that the Ass has escaped again and is on the rampage. No doubt we can reasonably expect to see young tearaway lesbians in the splendid Gentlemans Clubs of London, Conservatives chairing the Labour Party, members of the National Front on the Board of the Communist party, and no doubt maybe the likes of our distinguished men of industry being appointed to the committee that runs the WI. And of course the Humanist Society or whatever clan Richard Deakin signs up to will be warmly welcoming the members of the Exeter Uni CU to join in and share the joys of a relationship with God- that deity Richard cant find but Paris Hilton met only two days after landing in jail !
Yes, the mind boggles (Dawkins you mean, of course).
and independant adjudication should be open to missionaries in France.
Does QC stand for 'quite cuckoo", at least sometimes ?
