Why punish children for the belief/values of their parents? It is beyond the child's choice or control so why take it out on them? Is doing that any kinder than avoiding people because of their race?
How can children of racist parents get alternative views of life if they are treated like lepers themselves?

Tandemjeremy No one knows LOL what is the bar code that is on your
ballot card/sheet also when you collect your card at the polling
station the person that gives you your voting card crosses/marks
the same number thats on your card.
So yes they do know what you have voted and thats how they monitor
your voting, they know exactly what everyone votes.This is paranoid twaddle.

Oldgit - the current econimic crisis
................
The near roots of the crisis was sub prime mortgages in the USA, the long term roots the big bang deregulation of the banks under a tory government................
How can the failure of banks due to irresponsible lending practices in the USA be Browns fault? UK banks were exposed to this risk because of financial deregulation in the "Big bang" I don't believe there was a labour government then.
Brown has made other mistakes for sure - but you are simply wrong to blame the current financial crisis on him - and across the world especially in the USA he is praised for his handling of it.
I am to blame for racists as well, Nice leap of logic. The BNP are racist. I call them that, I drive people into joining them?
I remember how it was under a tory Government - and far prefer it now - with less poverty and a better NHS.

I am afraid that if you think that the financial crisis was purely caused by the US sub prime crisis then you are deluded. There has been a massive credit boom, which caused an asset price bubble. This had to be unwound, the US sub prime problem was the pin that pricked the bubble. This then caused a loss of confidence in the financial markets which are dependent upon confidence. Once confidence goes then the system goes as ably pointed out by Walter Bagehot in Lombard Street published in 1873. It is disingenuous to suggest that Brown's policies had nothing to do with this in the UK as he was more than happy for there to be consumption led growth leading to massive growth in credit. Further, he is responsible for continuing redefining the cycle for the purposes of the golden rule so he could continue to run deficit to pay for increased government spending when he should have had a surplus. Hence the parlous state of the UK's public finances today.
