Hey hardly seems like a religious nut. From what I can gather, he is against abortion due to his faith

It all depends on your point of view. To me, someone who is opposed to abortion because of their faith is a religious nut.

Surely if he is pro life, he is going to find it hard to justify a 'crusade'.

Yeah cos pro lifers never kill anyone.

I suspect he is a hypocrite like the rest of us. 

I agree however I suspect he's probably an even bigger hypocrite than most of us because he's an MP and a Tory and has weasled his way up to the position he is now in.

but not enough of a hypocrite to be deputy PM...

OT but vagely related.. I cant remotely fathom that the probably Republican presidential candidate (and in with a chance given Obama's ratings) is a creationist and climate denyer.. Never mind crusades, this is dark ages...

I don't know what's more depressing, the comments or the fact those comments are "liked".

Go on, admit it - you've all been on there making them up and giving the "up arrow" sign in an attempt to smear the Daily Mail and their readership, haven't you?

Even more predictable is the most extreme little Englanders all live.. err...somewhere else.

So - ring-fencing of the banks then.

Can see why there is a political agenda for this, but am struggling to find any of the detail of the proposals.

Anyone know if when T3 Banking PLC gets split into T3 Retail Bank and T3 Investment Bank, what's to stop me passing the profits from the retail arm to the investment arm to try and generate more money for my shareholders?

Any what if the investment bank arm makes a humungous amount of money - I'm not allowed to plough that money bank into the retail arm to lend / shore up reserves / provision debt?

Until I looked at the link and the second line, the first thing I thought of was Michael Palin.

Now there's an image for you.
