In case anyone hasn’t noticed Cornwall is part of the world. Actually part of the first, as is the rest of the uk.

I am no more in favour of the third world than I am of the first. I am not too enamoured with second world ones, especially the primary one.

I am in favour of recognising that we live in a shrinking world that is interdependent and not the one that existed even a few years back, let alone the one of our parents.

Failing to come to terms with that reality seems stupid beyond measure and some of the ideas that are suggested worthy of Don Quixote.

Yes I want to close all religious schools and remove religion to the private and not public sphere. I think religion is the source of many of our problems and we would establish a more homogeneous society if we did that. I also know it would take a long time and need to be done carefully and with compassion. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I have no wish to stop anyone believing if that’s their choice but only that they ought not allow that belief to impact anyone else in any way.

Right now we don’t have the means to stop this behaviour. We only have the means to stop things we have jurisdiction over.

Making such comparisons is rather pointless.

Once again its the old literal interpretation problem.
It's an offence EVEN IF the person involved is a criminal. Their feelings being hurt are the offence EVEN IF they are criminals. There is nothing they can which is bad enough that hurting their feelings isn't an offence.

Hamas are as well but regularly this country supports them with marches most weekends!

No I'm pointing out that you said criminals are merely criminals - whatever the crime. I pointed out that it isn't the case. Some crimes are more serious than others - quite obviously.
