To consider the Conservatives' manifesto pretty decent on the whole?

[Puzzledandpissedoff]

Pretty decent in terms in principles, that is ... as so often with manifestos it's too thin on costings

This is still a Christian country.

Religion is the main reason these things happen, yes there are other reasons at times but last night was because of religion, doesnt matter if you support the 'good' religion or the 'bad' religion, 1 sky fairy is no different to me than the other sky fairy, it doesnt take away the loss for the people that have suffered on both sides of this stupidity

It isn't just a Christian country, it is a country with people supporting many faiths (or none).

'Peddle" is very harsh JustAnother.

Then allow me to practise mine as I allow others to practise their beliefs or non beliefs without comment.

Thanks Citroen x

You would call me a devout Catholic so please just allow me my religion as I allow others theirs or not as the case may be.
The point of Sost post was to respect the dead and their families.
This is what the political parties are doing as am I. Campaigning has been suspended consequently folk extended that mark of respect to this thread

If someone doesn't want to comment as a mark of respect, isn't that up to the individual? Unless Mumsnet are suspending this thread because it is a political one?

This is a major terror incident to which the Government must give their full attention. How could the campaigning carry on when one party was not able to take part? It is also logistics. Real life and engagement if very important. If there was less isolation we'd understand each other more.

They are not campaigning as a mark of respect which both main parties have said. Nothing to do with 'logistics'!

I thought you weren't posting piglet?

Beautiful words, Sostenueto, thank you.
We can only pray that Jesus cares for these poor people's souls now, and it is a comfort to think of.

I said I wasn't talking politics. I'm not.

HTH.

Peace to all ( if that is acceptable) x

Thank you Sos peace to you too

Sostenueto of course it is.

Look, I can be as difficult and awkward as the next person. However, at the moment let's all just wish for peace. However we do it, with or without religious beliefs. Today's not the day for a fight justanother, or anyone else. Please.

"All national campaigning in the general election will be suspended until further notice" is the statement. This is not a 'mark of 'sympathy with the victims' reason but the appropriate response to a major terror attack. The Government will be completely engaged with ensuring the security of the UK.

Completely agree.

for everyone. Hug your loved ones a little closer today. In mumsnetty hugs for all.

I get you Dawn. Over and out.

yes, I may take my little ones to their favourite restaurant tonight and feel very lucky indeed.

feel very lucky indeed.

Me too. Gave DCs a little hug and kiss before pushing them out of the car much to their cringing embarrassment and said a quiet little prayer of thanks this morning.

Those poor, poor families

Some of you infuriate me, I disagree with a lot of you, some of you make me laugh and some of you make me use my brain

Peace and love to you all I mean that

Manifestos mean nothing, they all bloody lie through their teeth to get in, politicians aren't exactly known for being honest.
