fertility expert Lord Winston, a Labour peer, has told the Daily Telegraph: "His statements are lying. They are misleading and I'm afraid that when the Church, for good motives, tells untruths, it brings discredit upon itself."But I'll be darned if I can find in the story even one sentence explaining what the Church is supposed to have said that's false, which seems to be material to the story, no --or else "liar" is merely an insult, not an accusation at all. If he'd said the Church's mama wore combat boots, that would have been the headline, too, I suppose.
