opinion which I forgot to add

It was a very strange thing that the party members never had a real public debate. Considering the fact that the public are the people who are actually the voters. I suposse it was a good thing that it happened. I thought it was funny that the politicians started out talking to each with their first name as if they were friends and ended being polite because they were mad. I wonder who is going to win the elections.

Debate (assignment)

For the first time there has been a debate between the leaders of the main parties in England. Several issues popped up during this debate. All of the Party leaders started the debate with talking to each other using the first name, but as the debate started to get a bit more tensed they started to use the full name of their components. Nick Clegg tried to make himself look as being an outsider, telling everyone the other parties failed when it came to solve problems such as crime and immigration. People apparently liked Nick Clegg most, since 61% voted that he had won the debate.

The Big Cover-up of Sexual Abuse in the Church

Eight victims of sexual abuse have been to Pope today. All victims were systemically abused at a orphanage in Malta and wanted the church to stop covering these things up. The Pope listened to descriptions of the victims and was deeply moved by them. The Pope did not apologized since it was not the fault of just one person. The victems prayed and cried, happy to be finally part of the church again which they had not been for years since their sufferings were denied.Today was different, because the Vatican finally admitted that they were sexually abused by members of the clergy.

It is not very nice to deny that things did not happen for several years, especially when we are talking about sexual abuse. I am glad that this encounter with the Pope, helps the victims to let go and be part of the church again. Not that I am such a big fan of the church, but if they find it important they should definitely go there. I agree to the fact that the Pope did not apologized since he is not responsible for the deeds of others.

Sending the Wrong Message

Several people want Gordon Brown, to apologize to the people who received a leaflet. In this leaflet stood that the following things would be scrapped by the Tories: the right for cancer patients to be treated within 18 weeks, the guarantee to see a cancer specialist within two weeks would also be history. A lot people who had received this card, used to be cancer patients. It was not a coincidence that these people were chosen, the political party Labour used the database of a company Experian. Because it used the data base of this company it could easily find hospital statistics, including postcodes and the diagnosis of patients.

Tact obviously is not the strongest point when it comes to the British government. Most people are pretty attached when it comes to their privacy and I think it is a shame to abuse this. Especially when it comes to things such as diseases. It is unacceptable to use statistics of where cancer patients live, to send them a leaflet with the message the other government will change the policy when it comes to cancer and it will not be in your advantage. Pretty sick minded if you ask me, like those people have not suffered enough.
