Nanny Bans Grace

It's a funny old world, despite her Catholic leanings, Nanny seems to have a bee in her bonnet about Christianity.

She has decided to poke her nose into the activities of the Barnabas House refuge, which was set up over ten years ago by the King's Lynn Baptist Church.

The refuge provides shelter for homeless people, between the ages of 16 and 30. It has, until now, received funding from the local county council.

However, Nanny's friends on the council are minded to withdraw that funding.

Why?

The refuge asks its residents to say grace before meals.

Additionally, the council is feeling a bit "iffy" about the bibles that are placed in rooms and the "Christian ethos" of the refuge.

I understand that the fact that the refuge bans drink and drugs, a rather good idea I would have thought for a refuge, is a "no no" as far as the council is concerned.

They have asked the refuge to relax its prohibition of drink and drugs!

Bonkers!

Absolutely bonkers!
