Re: Ireland votes Yes
Getting back on topic. Should we respect the consciences of clergy and bakers and other No voters? Triumphalism is somewhat vulgar, but surely it's disingenuous to accept these views, unless, possibly if the person is very old. Thoughts?
From the DT:
We must hope that the generous spirit that infused so many of the Yes voters will extend to taking seriously the concerns of the 38 per cent who voted No and that they will eschew triumphalism and respect the consciences of clergy and bakers.

Do you not think we should give the gay community a bit of a break on their celebrations and group promotion? Even if you find it all a bit much, it pales into insignificance with the real persecution that gay received in Britain until recently, and the real prejudice that many continue to endure. I suppose your comments are made sardonically, but while there are real bigots out there, it's probably better to say nothing at all rather than give out mixed signals.

Liked "The Imitation Game" but found myself wondering if he was on the spectrum - either Aspergers or Autism

Haven't seen Imitation Game yet, but have always thought this country's treatment of Turing was despicable. And it really wasn't that long ago.
