Bishops and Exam Results

 Dear Bishops,

It was hoped that you had learned something from the embarrassing spectacle of the C of E's interference in the Dominic Cummings matter. Remember how the Bishops are being punished for that dangerous offer to withdraw from interfering in government which the club who run the C of E of course hadn't agreed to? You had to do false death threats to take the public's mind off that hopeful promise.

The Church of England are a really funny little cult, trying to use news articles in order to recruit or gain favour, but it isn't pleasant to watch fake sentiments and crawling by the Bishops while safeguarding and treatment of abuse victims in the C of E is still a very serious issue, please leave the young people who have been caught up in the exams mess alone, they are potentially vulnerable to be preyed on, and preying is the C of E's speciality, but it is so open and so shameless and it is very unlikely indeed that you will recruit from those young adults, they have done A-levels, they aren't stupid or uninformed. 

The way Bishops try to latch onto headlines to try to get spotlight for themselves leaves a sick feeling in the stomach, that desperation for relevance, that effort to gain attention, that narcissism that doesn't take in their irrelevance and arrogance, that attempt to use vulnerable groups in the news to try to recruit for the dying cult, it's so blatant, so needy. 

Safeguarding should be first, attention seeking later. A number of Bishops still need to be removed for their harm to victims, as well as the Archbishops and their council. The current situation remains that Bishops are unable to respond well to complaints, and the new 'safeguarding Bishops' have to be forced to get an answer to letters from victims and concerned members of the public, if they answer at all, no change from the previous 'safeguarding Bishops'. But Jonathan Gibb had time to go on BBC 4 to reassure the elderly and naive who make donations and leave legacies to the C of E, that all is well in the world. Where will the Church of England be without their BBC 4 propaganda machine? 

Leave those poor students alone you silly Bishops, neither they nor any other group in the news spotlight want you fawning all over them.
