Chris Bryant - Minister for underpants calls for homosexual 'weddings' to be celebrated in church.

This should rattle a few dog collars methinks.

I am sure that the Rt Rev. Ian Paisley will be first in line for that one.

Strangely enough he doesn't repeat this demand with the Jewish or Moslem faiths.

Chris Bryant also claimed that an alternative symbol is needed for the Red Cross because of the logo's supposed links to the Crusades.

Foreign Office minister Chris Bryant said that the historic emblem risked undermining the work of the humanitarian organisation.

His intervention came as MPs debated the adoption of the 'red crystal' - a diamond-shaped badge - to avoid the religious connotations of the cross and crescent symbols currently used by the international body.

Yet failed to make the same call with regards the Islamic crescent, another symbol that dates back to the time of the Crusades.

Chris "underpants" Bryant flipped his home twice....Chris Bryant, the MP for Rhondda, has split more than £92,000 of expenses between three properties in Wales and London in the past five years.

In 2004, he attempted to claim £58,000 to overhaul his second home in Porth, Wales, after allegedly complaining that most properties in his constituency were "terrace or mine owners' houses"

A few months earlier, a photograph of Mr Bryant in his underpants, which he had posted to a gay dating website, had been published in newspapers.

Mr Bryant, a former Church of England clergyman, wanted the money for a new bathroom and kitchen and to demolish his conservatory. He had bought the detached house for £97,500 less than a year earlier. He submitted a claim to the Commons fees office for £58,493.26 – almost three times the annual maximum. He noted that the claim exceeded his allowance.
