Cardinal O'Brien: Weasel Words

'Imagine for a moment that the Government had decided to legalise slavery but assured us that ‘no one will be forced to keep a slave’.
'Would such worthless assurances calm our fury? Would they justify dismantling a fundamental human right? Or would they simply amount to weasel words masking a great wrong?'

Cardinal O'Brien.
Hmm... seeing as your favourite book, The Bible, endorses slavery on racist grounds (and genocide, too) probably best to steer clear of this analogy.
Just a thought.

The Abolition of Slavery

Something amazing has just happened!

I've finally heard a new election manifesto pledge that made me think; "That's avery good idea."

The Liberal Democrats say interns/work experience/office monkeys should be paid.

They say it should be a minimum of £55 a week, the same amount proposed for young people in workplace training.

Not much, but better than expecting people to work for free.
