Ian Hislop`s view on the current situation is worth a listen, it is only about 1 minute long.

Hislop can be so funny at times.

The Lord Jesus Christ used satire when speaking about John the Baptist.  In our language it would be the equivalent of saying, “If you are looking for a spineless sissy, then you will find them in the palaces, if you are looking for a fearless representative, then you will find it in John the Baptist.

Luke 7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

²⁸ For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
