This Britain
Further evidence that Britain has gone from Victorian prudishness to licentiousness bordering on depravity in a matter of years: The Times' weblog has an article on £70 butt plugs.
Another story to warm your cockles (or raise your blood pressure) in these cold winter evenings is the news that in some areas, Britain's traditional Christmas Midnight Mass is being held early to avoid drunken revellers storming churches during worship.
The Telegraph reports that in towns such as Newcastle upon Tyne, Liverpool and the Easterhouse area of Glasgow, priests are holding Christmas Eve Mass as early as 6pm to avoid trouble from drunks.
Some ministers expressed fears about parishioners returning home through dodgy areas late at night: Others, however, added that their churches had been disturbed by drunken louts "who weren’t Catholics and certainly weren’t there to pray."
