Can we dare hope for more legislative moves towards secularism I wonder?
I really hope so Jane. Maybe the next move should be a campaign to have faith schools abolished - something I've always believed lies at the heart of social division. The powers that be will squeal their heads off if anyone tries it though - it's all tied up with finance, 'faith' and prestige. Still, rather than taking on the whole creaking religious edifice, perhaps a single strong concerted pincer movement on just one vital aspect of it might be the way forward.
Pull away the foundation stones one-by-one and the rest should come tumbling down.
