But yes: I think they are a bit impotent in this area, & dont much listen to pledges any more, only to results.

But at least their actual beliefs on what family life should be (their blueprint) is certainly closer to Christianity than the Labour one.

Indeed in this case (one of the main protagonists went on to blackmail a cancer charity) it is completely aposite.
I’m always surprised at why christians are Tory on family issues (moral I can understand). After all, tory free-market and anti-worker policies do more harm to families than you would expect if they were actively trying to destroy families. They may preach pro-family rhetoric, but it doesn’t mean that they are.

It’s only the ‘right wing loonies’ cliche (whihc is widespread) which I dont believe to be accurate. (Not that anyone shd pay any attention to cliches anyway.)
I think that on family/moral issues most Christians are Conservative. I certainly am.
On egalitarian/justice/poverty issues most of them are Labour. I certainly am.
This simply reflects the biblical stance on these issues.

Stephen Green was one of the most voiceferous protestors (and one of the main benificiaries, gaining, as he did, huge public awareness for his previously unheard of fringe group), and he was former leader of the Conservative Family Campaign (that Conservative with a capital C, of course). Therefore, Tim was using the epithet ‘right-wing’ wholy appropriately

Supporters of the Christian stance come from all parties. Ive never voted Conservative etc in my life, not that I rule anything out in the future – we shall have to see.

Tingey: I get the feeling you missed my point. The people and the centre of these complaints blew the issue all out of proportion, which resulted in the BBC having to make a report before Ofcom made a more-indepth report than usual. These reports and the processing of the many (misguided and/or multiple) complaints was a waste of money.

Slapping right-wing bullies down… well, that’s priceless, I agree.

Licence for what?
Telling the believers to stick their blackmail, perhaps?
