fully on that score. However we differ for the reasons. I think that the Sheik
is a pratt because he wants to control people's lives. Kevin thinks the Sheik is a
pratt because the Sheik wants to force people to do different things
than the things that Kevin wants to force them to. Kevin regards the things
that he wants to force people to do as 'mainstream', and therefore (apparently) acceptable.
This makes Kevin a pratt. But I called Kevin a goose because of his hypocrisy. Kevin has suggested that
the Sheik should (effectively) be sacked because his views are not
'mainstream'. Personally I have no problem with sacking someone for any reason
at all - but Kevin does. Why is it okay for the Muslims to sack the Sheik for his
'un-mainstream' views, but not okay for me to sack my receptionist because I can
now afford a younger prettier one? Kevin is a hypocritical goose. He's also a goose because (unlike me) he's applying for a position which isn't
supposed to interfere with people's religious beliefs (it's kind of in the
constitution). As a private citizen I can say what I like. As a Prime Minister
sworn to uphold the constitution, he can't. >> *Leaving aside the fact that the 'Muslims in this country' didn't exactly

and his views he would not be in the position. Hopefully you are now a little less confused.
