I wouldn't use words that I don't know the meaning of. That could lead to all sorts of trouble.

[tiggerblue10]

I don't use words that I don't know the meaning of. Well, apart from Hopkirks word and 'contrafibularities'! ;o)

[Atheist]

Hoppy... It speaks for itself? I think it's all to do with religion/politics. But who knows?
I'd guess that the 'establishment' is the established church (i.e the C of E) and that disestablishment means support for a breach between the C of E and the political state. And Anti..... means the opposite of that.

[Atheist]

"I only arsked..."

[AuntPG]

Athiest because its so easy to look up the meaning I thought it must be a joke or some sort of sarcasm.

[jourdain2]

Hopkirk. Just split it up. Anti = against (the easy bit)
It refers to the C of E being the established church. To 'disestablish' means to stop the C of E being the religion and church of the state. So to be anti disestablishment means to be being pro keeping the C of E as the religion of the UK. Hope this helps. :0)

[Atheist]

APG, maybe you could look up atheist in your dictionary. :-)
Seriously, this is chatterbank, and I thought we were allowed to have chats about this sort of stuff in a lighthearted way.

[Atheist]

Hey!! I think I got it right! (if I have understood jourdain and if she has got it right.)

[jourdain2]

Never mind, Atheist - it was a good try. :)

[jourdain2]

^^^ Yes, I got it right. It was in my History syllabus for A level. :)

[Atheist]

jourdain; I'd give you best answer, but spice got in there first!
Egregious still puzzles me. It sounds a bit pretentious for an unpretentious concept.

[Spicerack]

You must be combobulated, Atheist. Your question was perfectly opaque to me.
