Stupid scientology

Today #stupidscientology was trending on Twitter. If you want to know where the hashtag came from, it was coined by Jack of Kent (aka David Allen Green) and is explained here. The reason it was trending was twofold. The first was that Councillor John Dixon was up in front of the Cardiff Council Standards and Ethics committee.  In a decision welcomed by many (including me), they cleared him of any wrong doing and decided that there was no evidence that he'd failed to comply with their code of conduct. Great news.

The other reason it was trending was that tonight on the BBC,  purely coincidentally, Panorama (via John Sweeney) continued their investigation into Scientology. Now, this will probably get me into a lot of trouble with them, but what a load of nutters. Scary, sinister ones at that. I loved the "outing' of their intergalatic warload Xenu. Can't believe that so many celebrities have been taken in by them. Puts me off watching their films.

Edit:  God I love Twitter. Lord Xenu is now the number one trending topic!
