(Three cheers for our friends across the pond!)

From the Manchester Evening News:

A FURIOUS row broke out today after Manchester's Co-op Bank banned a hard-line Christian group because of its `hateful' anti-homosexual views.

The bank, renowned for its ethical stance, has given Christian Voice 30 days from June 6 to close its account.

Simon Williams, director of corporate affairs at the bank said: ."They are targeting one group of society in a hateful manner.

"The bank believes in respect for all sectors of society and its approach to Christian Voice is based purely on the issue of diversity and not on the grounds of religion."
