No-one can say we don't learn from these pages! Miss Widdecombe must have forgotten that David Cameron, went to live with a Muslim family for a week to better understand the culture when he first became party leader. This is behaviour that Miss Widdecombe described in her article as "patronising". Far from being stupid, the Mayor has shown himself to be spiritually aware, tolerant and also in line with the thinking of President Obama, who would certainly agree wholeheartedly with his statement. Is it Miss Widdecombe who is behind the times and on the wrong track here? Melissa, exactly! No-one can say we don’t learn from these pages!
