So his hypocrisy relating to abortion and his connection with Russians isn't of concern?

Nope.

He is anti-abortion. I'd rather know that up front. He's entitled to his opinion and his faith.

His investments, which presumably are quite widely spread considering how wealthy he is, are as much of a concern to me as your own portfolio, Bots.

So being completely anti abortion while selling drugs for abortion is fine, and having a major stake in a russian bank is ok? I see

He didn't personally sell drugs for abortion though, did he. He had shares in a drug company. Do you know which industries your own bank deals with? Probably not. He has a stake in a Russian bank? That hardly qualifies as "his connection with the Russians". I'd be shocked if very wealthy people knew about every investment that's made on their behalf. Bono owns a shopping centre in Lithuania... when questioned, he knew nothing about it.

I know exactly what I invest in, I get reports on what my investments are. Rees-Moog, being an MP is required to publish his interests so is perfectly aware of what his money is doing

I expect he invests a lot more and is a bit busier than you are tho..

That's true. And if he's publishing it, he's being up-front and open. I have no problem with his personal financial dealings.

I don't doubt you know where your investments are... but if you bank with one of the big banks, they will be dealing in areas you're not personally comfortable with. I don't see that as any different to investing in a drugs company that makes abortion drugs, amongst, presumably, a myriad of other drugs.

I had a Russian ancestor does this put me on the naughty stair?

To be fair inspite of his views he doesn't promote changing abortions laws.

I totally respect a womans right to choose but would never personally have an abortion as I am not convinced we know about what sort of feeling or pain a terminated baby goes through and I could not do it. So I can see where he is coming from. Also we do have a wide range of contraceptives available to us.

Is he not entitled to his outdated views in just the same way you would likely say minorities are in their attitudes towards many things including their views towards women.

You can’t reasonably tolerate some views based on one religion, unless you’re simply scared of being labelled, but not do so for others based on their religion because you would be less likely to get labelled.

Its more going to be
Leaving the EU.

Maybe Allister Campbell
(New Labour mastermind of Invade Iraq)
current owner of the European sad paper
and did a LBC show
could phone in.
He could jump ahead of the public calls
