"how's the Tory MP accused of rape getting on? Still under name suppression, I suppose."

Don't know, why dont you raise a thread on it instead of attempting to derail one about a labour MP?

[Atheist]

YMF; Does your post mean that you agree with the implication of some responses here that the OP reference to the religion was unnecessary and makes one wonder if there is an agenda here?

[Atheist]

Sorry, should have been YMB.

[youngmafbog]

My thought is the actual religion has little relevance but the fact the person is religious does.

I am not going to take sides one way or another.

[Atheist]

YMB; was she religious? I know she was a Muslim, but I don't see that that would make her particularly holy.

[youngmafbog]

I have no idea in this instance, I was simply relying to the post that wrote //What's the relevance of her faith?// and surmising on how religion (in general) could be relevant.

[emmie]

perhaps spicy shouldn't have put Muslim? he has his own way so maybe he can explain.

[Atheist]

I'm surprised no-one replied that 'vicar' or 'RC priest' is often used to headline that someone had been charged with an offence. I think that it's the so-called high moral ground people that prompt the religious link to be mentioned.

[Atheist]

By the way, I hope TTT is OK. Maybe if I say 'TROP' he'll wake up spluttering. :-)

[emmie]

he;s having a day off perhaps.

[Atheist]

Aaaah, bless!

Atheist, there's a difference between "Vicar charged" and "Christian charged". The accused here isn't an imam, just a woman with a head covering (itself an offence in the eyes of many pale males, of course).

[emmie]

tell that to Macron jno, another pale male presumably

[emmie]

a woman accused of wrong doing, no matter her faith

[Atheist]

jno; that's why it was asked in early posts why the religion was mentioned. Spice seems to have disappeared so perhaps we'll never know.

[Mamyalynne]

Possibly mentioned to create the very discussion now being held?

Apsana Begum's guilt or innocence will be decided in the Court.

[emmie]

perhaps he won;t return and explain...

[Atheist]

I just noticed that Spice is being rude on another thread to anyone who thinks that Trump lost the election.

[jno]

well, I think I know, Atheist. Anyway, he's looking forward to it.

[emmie]

spice is entitled to his opinion, rude ?
