It may not be "official government policy" legislation, but you can bank on the front benches voting for it. <br /><br />... if you are a woman, part of the GLBT community or anyone else that the fundagelicals think of as immoral, look out - it's going to be a very messy five years.MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-78377886564183778292011-05-06T08:49:09.220-04:002011-05-06T08:49:09.220-04:00Fern: thats where I first noticed this.
