One small thing - aren't both the English legal system and the moral distinctions that underpin it based on twin pillars of Judeo-Christian teaching and Enlightenment notions of individual liberty? We may consider ourselves to be living in a secular society (which suits me fine) but we should be very clear about the foundations of our social systems.
Overall I am not sure what appals me more Williams' naivetee, his grotesque treatment by the media or the uncloaking of some very unrighteous opinions amongst people who should know better.
If I hear one more London liberal opine darkly (and without a single statistical fact at their fingertips) on the threat posed by the allegedly Leporidae-like birthrate among Muslims I will puke.
Enlightment my ass!
