His profiles are always interesting and occasionally raise a wry smile when noble theory and human practice are closely juxtaposed. Here's writer Alis Hawkins :
Do you think you could ever be married to, or in a long-term relationship with, someone with radically different political views from your own? > No.
What do you consider the most important personal quality? > Tolerance.

I've absolutely no idea who this woman is, but she seems another Stalinist in sheeps clothing.
Last week I exchanged emails with a mate about, of all things, food and eating habits. I asked him if he was still a vegetarian - he's a relatively recent convert.
I remarked that I have had the experience with people on many occasions, that when this topic has come up and I have mentioned in passing that my wife is a vegetarian and has been since before I met her, they have often said "ooh I bet you argue about that a lot". To which I honestly reply, No.
Ditto: Feminism, Catholicism, and a vast number of topics and issues.
Is Alis Hawkins in a long term relationship?
Has she ever had one?
"What do you consider the most important personal quality? > Tolerance."
It's a devalued word which has now come to mean putting up with a load of shit one because one is too aject to put up any resistance.
Historically there was a lot to be said for it, enabling the warring religious tribes in our country to rub along after a fashion
But we are not talking Quakers anymore
Tolerating the alien intolerant is a one way street, it is plain stupid.
I'm sure Alis is a perfectly nice person. We're all prone to self-deception to a greater or lesser extent.
if there were only one religion in England, there would be danger of tyranny; if there were two, they would cut each other's throats; but there are thirty, and they live happily together in peace. Voltaire.

We've lost the multiplicity of thought, which made this nation the most politically liberated on earth. Islamo-Stalinism is the official religion of the country, in all but name. The tyranny of the illiberal liberals reigns supreme.
The new policy on diversity and tolerance is that absolute conformance to political correctness is mandatory, and no diversity will be tolerated.
