Answer 1

Croxx, Great question. Religion in schools should not be allowed; religion is unquestioning belief and therefore  the very opposite of education.

Good luck  contacting New Labour, tell them you are reading the Koran and they will give you a better reception

Answer 2

Lets be honest!New Labour are that desperate to cling on to power!They would even sing! If  I only had time for you!

Answer 3

they just don't sing the last verse cos we all  hope for a bit of divine  intervention when f all else works...

Answer 4

I always thought it was a nice tune (the Christmas Tree I think) High in idealism but lacking in substance just like this government was.

Perhaps we should remember that much of the Labour movement has it's foundation in the Methodist Church. It's the Commies who try to forget the basis because it is inconvenient  

Answer 5

Many of the Party's founders were Christians.(Kier Hardy amongst them)

When it is true to itself it owes more to Methodism than Marxism.

Answer 6

It's called hypocrisy don't you know?  

Answer 7

Croxx if you put enough money in the bankrupt Labour coffers you could do whatever you liked as well.
