Welcome

Very few places now offer you the possibility of civilised discussion between different points of view – whether on social, religious, political, and ethical matters, or in relation to economics, business, sport, fashion, the arts, media, education, science, technology, or whatever else.

It is our ambition and desire to be one such place of civilised discussion. That is what we are working towards. That is why you will find divergent voices very welcome here.

Add your own voice, by engaging with the views here – by sending in comments, stories, jokes, questions, and so on. Though only with politeness and civility, please – and only within the values and framework of the Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, and Justice.

We look forward to hearing your view – whatever that is. Meanwhile, enjoy the range of views here.
