Comic Sans, British officialspeak, and the separation of church and state

I thought about bringing this up, but decided against it, because going into the fine distinctions, and reasons why the Church of Scotland is a National church but not a State church, is the sort of thing that has a tendency to slide into arguing about the minutiae of the reformation, the exact effects of the various civil wars, various splits and schisms and so on.

And frankly, the most interesting part of all that is trying to explain why the queen magically changes from being the head of one church to an ordinary member of another whenever she crosses the border.

Also, Wales doesn’t have a State church either.
