Look Who's Got Clarity

"To criticise a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous but to criticise their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticise ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society. A law which attempts to say you can criticise and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed."
Now, who do you suppose is responsible for this eloquent and insightful quote? George Will? William F. Buckley?

Actually, it's Mr. Bean.

And a little comedian shall lead them. . .
