There was a marvellous letter in the Evening Standard of 28 June by Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society.
In a wider critique of the return of Tony Blair to our political discourse, Sanderson opened fire not just at one of Blair's inherent contradictions but one of the key problems facing multi-culturalism in the UK:
"What is really unhelpful is the inherent contradiction in Blair's approach, shown up in his opinion piece and your interview, by which he recommends stronger secular democracy in countries riven with religious conflict at the same time as greater reverance for religion in the secular West. This is no way to win support from doubters from either culture"
Bingo!
the worst of both worlds- the south of heaven option. Tells us everything and he is the oman.
