    Her views, while wrong and retrograde to me are shared by many.
    But views are wrong, utter bollocks and she's just gone ahead and made stuff up.

    Or is making stuff up allowed?

    (OK I guess it is, especially if you are in the press or a politician).

    Are you sure that's what she meant? I read that as, she expects people to say we should turn back the clock but she argues against that by saying it is because we're civilised that we can't.

    Anyway, DeletedUser has invoked the Daily Mail which means all rational debate on the topic must now cease and become a group hug between the PC brigade and anyone who dares try and look at it from any other angle will immediately be torn to bits as a racist, maybe even Hitler!!
