Before my time. But I certainly learned about it.
There's a lot not to be proud of in English history - I specify English because despite The Union, we were the driving force.

I'd be nervous too. I think Israel needs to take a long, hard look at itself. But in the meantime innocent people will be exploded. Sorry. Not what you want to hear. But I worried every time we went on the Tube when I was a girl. My prayer to my Guardian Angel every night I was in London was not to be blown up.

I am definitely not an anti-Semite. But all the children of Abraham have questions to answer if their God is truly righteous, and created women as well as men. Animals need to be killed in a special way, you need to eat certain things on certain days, but it's okay to belittle and control and damage the mother of your sons? If they come from such a dirty place, how can they be holy too?

Rant over.
A bit sick of hypocrisy today. Thanks Cardinal O'Brien.
