Your hair’s going grey, your skin’s sagging and that’s because you’re a sinner

An evangelist has been cleared of causing harassment, alarm or distress by shouting abuse at passers-by in London. A good thing too I think, though the likes of evangelists like these do tend to be an embarrassment to us all. My advice to Philip Howard (51) would be to tone it down a bit. For instance:

“Your hair’s going a little bit grey, your skin is showing mild signs of aging and that’s because you’re ever so slightly naughty.”

… isn’t going to offend anybody.
