  rather a disturbing report on the attitude of the young who were born and brought up here.

  Did they contact the entire Doasyouwouldbedoneby clan? not quite as numerous as the Patels, but then who is?

  it does take longer to load than some tom.
  
  the police recently said that one of their major problems is honour crimes as they are kept in house so to speak.

  Some aspects of this are certainly at the rabid end of paternalism and yet newspapers and other media, that would protest strongly that they are ultra modern and liberal, do exhibit much the same sort of attitude to the behaviour and life style choices of 'our own' fair sex.
  I imagine that there is much common ground within the mores of us and them.
  
  Religion is not a get-out clause in disobeying the law of the land.

  A weekend newspaper is not just for the weekend.
  
  In my Saturday paper, that comes free with the Crossword, I have only got round to reading this book review...
  
  http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/mar/14/the-righteous-mind-jonathan-haidt-review?INTCMP=SRCH
  
  Which is pertinent to this discussion and among other things says...
  
  "...The arresting image Haidt [the author] gives for our sense of morality is that it's like a rational rider on top of an intuitive elephant. The rider can sometimes nudge the elephant one way or the other, but no one should be in any doubt that the elephant is making the important moves."
