Councillor suspended for branding earth round

Councillor suspended for branding earth round.

"A CARDIFF councillor has been suspended after claiming the Earth is round and orbits the sun.

Tom Cruise is a stupid arse

More than 200 Flat Earthologists complained after Cllr John Dixon posted a Twitter message referring to the Earth as a 'globe'."

"Wayne Hayes, a Level 19 Flat Earthologist from East Grinstead, said: "Dixon's remarks are just typical of the prejudice we face on a daily basis just because we refuse to bow down to the dogma of scientific proof."

So what are the pundits going to call 'global' warming now then?

Earthly warming?

The OP seems to be the only one who doesn't get that.

You do realise it's a parody site? Or maybe you don't. In which case that is all kinds of awesome

Anyway, this is the best article on that site

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek post

"Councillor faces inquiry over tweet calling Church of Scientology 'stupid'"

The world just gets even more mad.

No edit required.

As I said - tongue in cheek. A bit of fun if you will.

If only it was April 1st, then I could have really tried it on....

They had him on Newsnight last night.

Defended himself to the hilt! Fair play to him.

The presenter asked him in hindsight if he felt he was wrong. He said quite plainly, NO.




I tell you what, those Scientology lot are absolutely BONKERS!

If it wasn't (somehow) a recognised cult/ religion, you would genuinely have their members sectioned for some of the stuff they believe!


The South Park episode about them is worth a watch

"Employee numbers have dwindled at the authority since January, when it agreed to allow registered Vikings to kidnap female employees out of respect for Norse mythology.

Meanwhile followers of the Persian deity Mithras have won a tribunal giving them the right to slaughter a bull in the canteen every Monday lunchtime."

LOLOLOLOLZZZZ

One may laugh, but there are quite a lot of people that flatly () refuse to believe that the Earth is spherical, like Tom Bishop, nutcase extraordinaire..

The best line:

the article said:

"Dixon's remarks are just typical of the prejudice we face on a daily basis just because we refuse to bow down to the dogma of scientific proof."

Gotta love the Mash!
