Blasphemy law abolished without fanfare

[ruby27]

I was quite surprised that this law had been abolished with so little fanfare.

Is that a sign that Christians acknowledge the inequity of a law that only protected Christianity

Or that I have just missed the widely publicised debates?

I want to give Mibs stars!

I want mibs to SEE stars!

[China Doll]

Now I want Theland to have stars too!

[Theland]

I'll settle for some soft toilet tissue.

I'm really trying to avoide a smutty comment here Theland.

(I hope you realise the sacrifce I'm making in an effort not to become the Jezzibelle of R&S).

San Izal is for masochists.

[Theland]

Was there really a saint called "Izal?"

Just for you!

Ah thank you. that brings back memories. One of my first jobs aged 13 was knocking on doors selling, "Bleach, Soap & Pine, three for half a crown."

[China Doll]

How much is half a crown these days?

It's powerful stuff if it can stop air raides!

[Theland]

Two shillings and sixpence. 12.5p

Wow! I wish I could go back in time and buy a house then.

My apologies to Quinlad, having read China's post I checked on News.

I agree with Octavius that the Racial and Religious Hatred Act of 2006 is much more appropriate and comprehensive.

Nice post to Ripley, China.

I hope it helps. They're not in a nice place.

[Theland]

I'm sure it will. I'll visit her thread again in a mo.
