Of course he had a right to hold them but governing the country based on strict Catholic doctrine would indeed be a nightmare.
Even though I disagree fundamentally with JRM's views I do respect his right to hold them. Also, if I'm honest, I feel he is an honest and honourable politician (unlike odious chancer Boris) who, if he ever became Prime Minister, would do his utmost to govern according to his moral code. For some that is a big attraction...for others a nightmare.
In many ways, but for some different reasons, he is like Corbyn with those who love him and those who can't see why.

It might not be a nightmare for all and I do not just mean Catholics. I suspect many are fed up with the 'liberal' views that have dominated for so long. I believe we might see a polarisation along the Corbyn Mogg lines. I'm not really happy with either.

Suspect that might not have been entirely unintentional.Following his interview, there is now very little chance of RM ever becoming Pm.
What liberal views have dominated for so long? Say, over the last 50 years?
The British public overwhelming support abortion, especially on cases of rape and incest. Luckily we don't live in the dark ages and the majority support equal rights for gays.

He isn't short of a few quid (together with his wife a net worth in the region of £150m) and enjoys being an MP. Plenty of media appearances to keep the bank account topped up, why would he want the hassle of being PM?
I see this crap is still going on
So I suppose we should let the amount of a city in every year when we can't house those already here. The NHS can't cope in many areas but just let everyone in who wants to come here. We could always raise tax although millions are struggling so we can build the millions of homes needed. And then raise them again so we can build more hospitals. We can carry on building on flood plains and hope it doesn't rain.
It would be OK. The fruit and veg would be picked at least. Companies would have the cheap labour they want. Immigrants don't commit crime. It has no effect on anyone already here.
So why would I be pleased?You'll be pleased to know that Farage is going to stir up crap along those lines in the German election. Invited by the grand daughter of Adolf Hitler's finance minister to hold a speech on behalf of the AfD in the Spandau Citadel ( there is a film about the Nazis holding out against the Russians in the citadel ). Farage will be in his element. Preaching to the converted and following in the tradition of German populists.....
Is there anything else you would like to make up?I'm just sad that people like myself and my girlfriend have been made scapegoats for our country's woes.
One day there will be no more else to blame.
Now THAT is offence to the vast majority of Britons!I'm just sad that people like myself and my girlfriend have been made scapegoats for our country's woes.

Could you not swap in the pound for euro in that article?Well...who'd have thought it?
The head of Germany’s Ifo economic institute warned of a return of the euro crisis in a newspaper interview published on Friday, and said the European Central Bank should start to roll back its zero-interest-rate policy.
Ifo head Clemens Fuest told the Passauer Neue Presse newspaper that a noticeable recovery in the euro zone, increasing inflation rates and rising prices for bonds, shares and real estate were reasons for the ECB to change course.
“The longer this continues, the more painful it will be when the money dries up,” Fuest told the newspaper. “It’s time to start the exit process.”

Sorry thought you were on the same page as KoK.
“The longer this continues, the more painful it will be when the money dries up,” - Nuff said!It says "in the next recession" - which hasn't happened yet, and advises to take action beforehand. It is the general acceptance that interest rates will have to rise - not only in The Eurozone. No new news there...

Ok then I will ask. Why would I be pleased about farage going to Germany or whatever your post entailed?
Yes apparently. Pro Irish anti British? That comment is a contradiction for starters.My parents are migrants and so is she, apparently we are to blame for low wages and high house prices. I've been also been accused of being pro-Irish/anti-British on this forum for some bizarre reason.
Or you are trying to make out that those who can see that we can't look after those already living here are racist.Because you think the message is great and he is spreading the message.
I wonder how much the lawyers will make out of it.What are peoples thoughts on article 127 and whether it needs to be triggered or not to leave the EEA?
Seems a bit of a mess, on the one hand Davis is saying they don't need to trigger it as the UK will automatically leave what they leave the EU but then he admits lawyers are looking in to it and of course there are countries who are members of the EEA without being in the EU.
If the lawyers do say it needs to be triggered I can't see that being done without a parliamentary vote and the whole thing could get a lot messier than it already is.
Why on earth was this all not looked into before we voted?
Could you not swap in the pound for euro in that article?
Definitely not. The euro is a currency that is in all but name the German Mark. It allows Germany several advantages. The problem is that countries are borrowing on ridiculously low interests rates due to the suppression of the bank lending rate.
Portugal and Greece borrow money at a rate at least half what they would do if it's their own currency - Portugal is about 4%. Italy and Spain are the same. Greece isn't much more.
Here's the rub. Inflation is rising n Germany and the banks have negative rates in a desperate attempt to suppress the rate. They know Greece in particular and Portugal and Italy cannot sustain loan repayments if the rate rises.
The rise is inevitable. The currency will then be in crises as a market will default as the lending rate grows
So no our currency isn't dependent on Greece so we are fine
Or you are trying to make out that those who can see that we can't look after those already living here are racist.
Trying to work out why those who don't live in the UK or have a partner from outside the UK are the most vocal here.
No, it is dependent on how Brexit pans out..., so not exactly fine..
No it doesn't - the uk has an independent currency. In 2008 its stock fell much lower than now as did the FTSE - shares now are at record highs. The pound will always have peaks and troughs but will never have a risk of elimination - the euro is unique in that
The risk of elimination is slim. There are advantages to having stable exchange rates ( or no exchange rate in the case of the Eurozone ). It could be that the weaker countries drop out, but the stronger economies will stick with the EURO.
Ha ha ha ha and countries dropping out is fine is it? How will that impact its standing in the currency market?
Other than Germany who is strong would you say?
So how is that different to here? We have rising inflation and people borrowing on historically low interest rates. As we've discussed on here recently banks have paid no attention to the problems last time and are happily giving out 100% mortgages.The rise is inevitable. The currency will then be in crises as a market will default as the lending rate grows
