I get your point. Cameron seems to think that paedophilia and homosexuality are inextricably linked.
They are not, of course.
Does he?
Why else, when being asked about a child abuse case and handed a list of suspected paedophiles, would he warn against public child abuse allegations turning into a “witch-hunt” against gay people? A witch hunt against paedophiles, yes, but what has homosexuality got to do with it?
My other reason for starting the thread was around the fact that when the child abuse witch hunt was centred on “celebrities” and, more specifically, the BBC, the Government were perfectly happy for names and accusations to be bandied around to the point of demanding a public enquiry, yet as soon as there’s a whiff of politicians being involved in child abuse it suddenly becomes a witch hunt.

Roy Orbison, Pretty Woman.
Roy was a favourite with both my mam and dad, this was a favourite track for both of them. Might explain why I was far more emotional that I should have been when someone special played it for me…

RIP Mam and Dad, miss you both xxxx
I’m obviously missing something here…I wasn’t taking you to task on what you said, I making a point of my own…why is it such a big deal?

:shock:
That’s why I said religious zealots.
I know what you said, I was simply saying that not all zealots are religious…why the shock?
The original definition of a zealot was a religious fanatic.
Indeed, but the meaning of words change over time, anyone who is fanatically committed to a cause may be described as a zealot, the cause does not have to be a religious one…the beauty of a living language.

Honour killings may have their roots in religion but now I think it’s more about saving face in front of your neighbours. Like so many things, the reasons for behaviours, prejudices and constraints are long forgotten or so far removed from the present day world that they are followed by rote rather than belief.
I posted a link to that somewhere (can’t remember where) a while back and all people could say was “yes but it’s not ballet is it?”
Maybe not but still…
