One of the stories I didn't have chance to deal with in great detail while we were producing the magazine was the ban on the Westboro Baptist Church coming to the UK. Which means I didn't get chance to share leader Fred Phelps' YouTube message to us:
Come one, I really think it's time the people behind Westboro and Christian Voice just came forward and admitted to this very funny and elaborate hoax...
PS - if you watch the video to the end, you get the most ridiculus bit, and that's after just hearing Phelps denounce Basingstoke and Jacqui Smith: "For more timely topical Bible commentary go to Godhatesfags.com, Godhatestheworld.com and Priestsrapeboys.com".
Update: Annoyingly, as you'll see, the video has been removed from YouTube due to a "terms of use violation". Presumably that's because YouTube aren't massively keen on hosting deranged homophobic rants. You can still get it on the WBC's website though.

Doesn't this vile old git ever blink?
'Bassingstoke YouKay?'
The funniest thing I've seen in ages. Phelps is a comic genius!
I'm sorry. I couldn't get past the first minute. It's not funny to me. It's extremely revolting.
