[1] This is what it sounds like in this version, but see version 6
[2] A clear reference to James Anderton, former chief constable of Manchester, aka "God's Cop". Anderton claimed to hold regular conversations with the Supreme Being, to be the agent of Divine Will, to be a reincarnation of Oliver Cromwell, and that homosexuality had to be illegal, because it said so in the Bible, and that homosexuals were "swilling around in a cesspool of their own making"
