Talking of research, as you were, I think you should do some on Margaret Thatcher. You appear to be a little confused yourself. Incidentally my understanding is that she came from a devout religious background, her father was a Methodist preacher, and that she held deep religious views herself.

People do like to call one another confused, don't they!

Are you suggested that Thatcher was all about social cohesion  -  share and share alike?

Are you suggesting that the UK has an all-for-one, one-for-all culture?  That we look after our families and neighbours as well as we did 60 years ago?

Or are you trying to divert attention from the argument?

You started it !

With regard to your point of view on families and neighbours one of the key points in Thatcher's philosophy was that we should be more prepared to help but all too often people look to the state as the first point of call. When all's said and done this is the fundamental political question...what should be the size of the state? Pesonally I believe it should be a lot smaller. With regard to the main point of the thread, I'm an atheist.

In the words of Randy Newman:

Pulverise 'em''

....and he didn't really mean it either..did he?

Great albums by the way if you're not familiar with them.

Don't live locally but from my reading of the national press you're looking at a bunch of financial incompetents who think it's a good idea to buy houses for £70 000 and then sell them off for £1, to local people apparently, although we'll probably find later that's illegal under EU rules...don't those apparatchiks pervade every aspect of our lives these days?
