Gordon Brown to re-launch leadership on freak show

The Church of England has complained that the BBC treats religion like ‘a freak show.’ The Church is worried that the appointment of Aaqil Ahmed, from Channel 4, as head of religious programmes will lead to a new style of populist television such as ‘God’s got talent’ or ‘Abu Hamza’s total wipeout’.

In the meantime, the BBC has confirmed that Gordon Brown will appear in Songs of Praise next month in an attempt to ‘reconnect’ with churchy voters.

Are these two stories connected in anyway?
