Wicked car boot sales

A report published by the Church this week indicates that young people are quite happy with a life without God and prefer car boot sales to church. OK - church might not be much fun but methinks that the authors know as little about car boot sales as about the youth of today. Perhaps their survey was carried out exclusively at car boot sales, but these would seem to me the preserve of middle aged hoarders knee deep in things that even they don't want to hoard anymore rather than, er...., a wicked way to spend Sunday instead of Church.

Meanwhile in a stranger than De Vinci Code coincidence, Ruth Kelly has seamlessly moved her religious prejudices from children to communities. Unlike Ruth, ungodly young people 'found meaning and significance in the reality of everyday life' (although I wonder how the researchers deduced that everyday life was a car boot sale) while Ruth remains publicly non-committal about the 'sin' of homosexuality. I assume that the world of car boot sales will now fall directly under the influence of the Catholic cult Opus Dei by proxy. So what might we expect? Perhaps an early clamp down on the sale of women's 'comfortable shoes' but given the identification of the car boot as a tool of the devil and distraction from proper religious observance I sense another headline grabbing Labour ban is due.
