On a tangentially related note, I've recently become aware of Ann Widdecombe (she is no one in the USA). She is an absurd human being and proof that the present right-wing stupidity is all over the place.

Here is a video of Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens taking her and an African Roman Catholic bishop apart in a debate about whether or not the RC Church is a force for good. Long video, but I think it's worth watching.
