That ship sailed a decade ago! What's needed is transparency and genuine impartiality. So, ALL politicans to be questioned and challenged, not giving some a free pass to preach.

Saw your "like" on a comment, and recognised the shape on your profile! Back in the day, when we bought 2nd hand 45s that'd been used in juke boxes, they'd had the middle knocked out. We needed one of these to play them on a normal turntable.

As a minister, I usually had responsibility for organising our local Remembrance service.
I remember one time having to tell the CO of the Army Cadets that rifle drill wasn't acceptable at the War Memorial!
