Despite Tesco's well publicised £30,000 donation, and additional funding to the tune of £100,000 from the Office of the Mayor of London, yesterday's 'London Pride 2012' was forced into an embarrassing downgrade.
Leading sodomite spokesperson, Peter Tatchell, described the organisation of the event as a "shambles."
Lack of funds sparked panic last month, that culminated in the Greater London Authority, the Metropolitan Police, Westminster Council, London Fire Brigade and Transport for London, demanding "concrete assurances" that Pride London had the cash to pay the upfront costs associated with the event.
The Mayor's money, plus Tesco's donation, and an offer of support from Diageo (the makers of Smirnoff vodka), was not sufficient to prevent this event in its original form becoming "unsalvageable."
As a result, the parade was scaled down to the level of a 'protest' march in which no floats were allowed, the start time was brought forward by two hours, and street parties were banned.
So much for the promise that this event would be the biggest yet ... .
The reduced scale did not mean the Pride Parade featured any less pollution than usual, however. Sex and bizarre and perverted forms of sexual expression were to the fore as on previous occasions. It is much to be regretted that many children who took part in the parade and those who viewed it from the pavements of the capital city had their minds assaulted with such unrelenting images of aggression, intolerance and depravity.
This has not been the best of times for Tescos – their announcement of
£30,000 for this sodomite promotion sparked a Christmas boycott,
followed by a marked slump in trading figures and a 15% drop in the
price of their shares.
And now the sin that they have publicly pledged to sponsor has suffered a setback.
David Cameron should take note. Sadly, the Prime Minister of our country, despite selecting the wonderful words of
Philippians 4:8-9 as his handwritten contribution to a copy of the King James Version of the Bible last year, sent this pathetic little message to the marchers at London/World Pride:
"The UK
has been judged to be the best country in Europe in which to live if
you’re gay so it is great that World Pride is being celebrated here in
London – especially during this Diamond Jubilee and Olympic year.
I’m very pleased that the Mayor of London has enabled the march and
events in Trafalgar Square to go ahead and I want to thank all the
volunteers who will be stewarding the event and contributing to it.
It is 40 years since people first marched in London calling for
equal rights. Since then we’ve come a very long way and progress is
still being made. We have just finished consulting on how to introduce
same sex marriage and we are working with countries across the globe to
bring about greater equality.
I hope you all have a happy Pride and remember all those who have,
and those who are still fighting for, greater rights and protection for
the LGBT community."
The opening verses of
the 2nd Psalm have profound relevance:
"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and
against his anointed, saying,
3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set My King upon my holy hill of Zion."
