I don't think you and I are going to get any closer on this. But thank you for your comments.

The difference, woollymindedliberal, is that these groups produce representatives who publicly preach, exhort and advise the rest of us to behave with a rectitude that is often in no way in keeping with their own behaviour. Indeed, and the examples are regularly before us, their own behaviour is often far worse than that of those to whom they presume to preach. We live with our moral flaws and, if we are decent people, try to do something about them. They, on the other hand, parade their non existent virtues, while hiding their vices, as a means of advancing their careers.

Moral outrage, as is often seen in priests, politicians and tabloid journalists, is often underpinned by covert sanctimonious hypocrisy. This seems a near perfect exemplar of that. I admire Bob and Sue Firth for striking back and, it would seem, scoring a bullseye.

There is in many groups an enthusiasm for free speech except where they disagree with what others want to say freely and bluntly. None of us have the right not to be offended. We do, or should, have the right to express our views on the nature of what we see as the offence.

I don't suppose it has ever occured to the Queen, surrounded by sycophants, to wonder what she has done to deserve all the adulation. Being transported around the country and the world in luxury, simpering to the crowds and waving and reading speeches written (often badly) by others scarcely adds up to major achievement.

I really don't know. What I do know is that these good christian slave bosses usually found time to let the house slaves - don't know about the field slaves - have time for a bit of preaching of the word. Blessed are the poor etc. Their other unlovely practice was, while their nice white wives in their frilly gowns, bred occasionally the bosses were often down amongst the "nigger women." They had a truly amazing way - unless you know their christian mind - of ignoring their own kids. They were "half human blood."

Fair comment. But clitoral slicing from baby girls, held down so that some ignorant hag and with no ananaesthetic is far worse. It goes way beyond that but it continunes in Britain and these little girls are cut while their mothers weep and their grannies say it must be done. In passing, they are still beating the crap out of young kids in the London area to " drive out the devil." Supervised by some religious ignoramus.

Angela K. NSPCC. You have either made a lucky guess or you know something I know. I regard the NSPCC as the most contemptible bunch of piss artists ever. I tried to get the Advertising Authority to ban their fucking dishonest adverts but they wouldn't do it. Refused to agree that he adverts showing child actors suffering and little kids in cots were misleadling. I also tried to get the NSPCC to admit publicly that the money they were conning out of poor rural people was heading out of the area and into London to pay the fattest salaries and expenses around. They have NO legal powers to intervene directly. Phone them and they phone an overworked social worker or inner city GP. They do have a slick propaganda machine based on fuckwit celebrities who know no better and do love feeling good.
Rantzen? Bored publicity hound. Longs for the limelight. Had a consumer programme on TV and thinks she could run the country.
PS I sent a large bunch of documents to an MP about the NSPCC. No reply. Disappeared despite being sent registered post.

GrumpyBob. Agreed. And it is even worse, in one sense, when you know how much of it continues in this country. FGM. And when you try to stop it, or this used to be the case, the authorities become very cautious. "Best consult the community leaders first." You know what happens then? Zilch. So much for concerns about child abuse. No wonder we need a Secular Medical Forum.

barriejohn. If I may say so, you are too hard on yourself. We all feel "stupid" from time to time: me more than most, I guess. I enjoy your contributions and if you are a bit off track from time to time then join the club.
