No question, you hit it right square in the weird.

A council has apologised after a Good Friday Passion Play was cancelled because a councillor reportedly thought it was a live sex show.

The plug was pulled on The Cowley Road Passion Play when an official from Oxford City Council said organisers from St Mary and John church and St Stephens House college could be committing an offence without the proper council permits.

Oxford City Councillor and United Reform Church pastor Dick Wolff told the Oxford Mail: “Unfortunately, one of the city council’s licensing officers didn’t recognise that a Passion play on Good Friday was a religious event.

“I think he thought it was a sex show, so he said it may be committing an offence.”

All you can do is sigh a sigh of disbelief and wait for the next example of dimwittery to come along.

It won't be long.
