Vox populi?
On Today on Radio 4 this morning, a contributor discussing the attitude of the Catholic Church towards contraception said three times that the clergy were beginning to take notice of “where people were at”. Later it was reported that a politician had said that British voters were “gagging for a change”. The contributor was from that venerable Catholic newspaper The Tablet; the politician was the leader of the Conservative Party. Just the sort of language you’d expect from them?
