We’re in an age where religion is increasingly taking a back seat, so of course people find it alarming when their children are being exposed to hardline religious practices.

I hope this is the start of a process that will result in all schools being secular by law. The indoctrination of children into any religion, whether at home or at school, is highly immoral IMO.

And yet none of you who decry the EU seem to be pushing for an elected Head of State for the UK.

As for Barrosso, the President of the European Commission is voted for by the EU Parliament, which is pretty similar to how the PM of the UK get his/her job as well. We don’t vote for the PM directly either, but again you don’t see any complaints about this. Makes me think that people who don’t like the EU use the ‘non-democratic’ criticism of it very selectively.

The monarchy safe guards our democracy. They have the power to dissolve the government if necessary, and our armed forces are sworn to them. I would much prefer a head of state who is groomed for the position their whole life, than an ambitious, lying, opportunistic, short term politician.

My opinion is based on the fact that the Guardian is full of left wing drivel. Like the BBC, it is little more than a propaganda machine for Labour. It is the most politically biased newspaper in the UK, and I include the Daily Heil in that statement. All in my humble opinion, of course. 🙂

If it is of any relevance at all, my political pendulum swings firmly towards the center ground. I’m just sick of the Westminster establishment and the public sector damaging this country with its left wing agenda.

Perhaps we’re due a posthumous ‘I told you so’ from Mr Powell?

Just a thought but, if/when Scotland achieves independence where does that leave Ukip? After all, the UK will no longer be the UK so what happens to a group declaring itself to be the UK Independence Party…?

rUKIP 😀
