| Message | We agree with 5 of the 6 proposals. But out colleagues should remember that 'by the name of our Lord there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.' We must not love our neighbour from behind an iron gate. Gated communities are divisive and they are elitist. We shall repeal that portion of the bill |
