TS, I know it to be true and it depresses me hugely that a country so full of good shit should at the same time be crammed to the rafters with fundamentalists – or, more to the point – with people who aren’t prepared to take a wider, more balanced view on issues as important as this.

It’s interesting you should raise the politics question. It’s one I’ve struggled with and it’s particularly pertinent here in the UK where the “political divide” is no longer as wide as it once was. I’m mired in the “ideal absolute” myself – could I *ever* bring myself to vote Conservative? Absolutely not, ever. Is the tory party looking more left wing than Labour right now? Yes. Worrying.

Anyway. Back to museums… 🙂
