A Catholic nun is alleged to have sent six envelopes containing white powder to parliamentary figures including Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, a court heard today.

The defendant, who is known as Sister Ruth Augustus, is accused of scrawling ‘devil worshipping’ on envelopes filled with white powder that she posted to Nick Clegg and Baroness Scotland, Harrow Crown Court was told.

The letters were intercepted, three at a time on two separate occasions, at a mail screening centre and the powder was found to be non hazardous, the court heard.

OK, she’s crazy. But the religion clearly isn’t helping.

US: Church refuses to marry black couple

Oh, the horror! Don’t look, children!

A race row has broken out in Mississippi after a black couple were turned away from the church in which they planned to get married.

Charles and Te’Andrea Wilson had set the date and posted the invitations but, the day before the wedding, the pastor of the predominantly white First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs said the ceremony would not go ahead.

He told them a small number of church members had virulently opposed holding the event at the church, and he faced being sacked if he went ahead with it.

Well, dang those uppity white folks! Time for the Supreme Court to step in?
