At the risk of being considered a pervert or a sexual deviant, I need to write about knickers (or panties, as my American cousins would apparently call them).
Sue Relf, from Broadstairs, Kent, went into the local Asda store and bought some underwear for her seven year old granddaughter. When she got the garments home home [...]

I can understand where they are coming from, even though I profoundly disagree with them.
If you believe something strongly, you want to be consistent. The argument goes, if you decide to take your rules from the book, you then can’t pick and choose which rules you want to follow.
That seems to be the position taken [...]

A few weeks ago, comedy writer Ariane Sherine wrote a piece in the Guardian expressing her view that Londoners were being forced to face disturbing religious messages when they trundled half-awake to work each morning because Christians had paid to have quotes from the bible displayed on buses.
She wrote:
There was also a web address on [...]
An Obvious Case

Sarah Desrosiers has my sympathy and support. She is a small business owner. She has been in business less than a year and a half. Already she has been sued for £35,000 (far more than she earns in a year). Although she lost the case, the tribunal did manage to reduce [...]

It’s been a bad week for women, and therefore a bad week for humanity too. (”So what’s new?” some of you may be asking.)
Doubtless there are more atrocious stories than the ones below (for example, accounts of rape and mutilation and oppression in far distant countries), but the two which penetrated my radar were [...]

The Spanish government has announced plans to secularize the constitution and remove privileges that have been granted uniquely to the Roman Catholic Church.
