>Perhaps it all goes back to the introduction of the NHS in England in 1948. Before then, stories of aunts and grandmothers having all their teeth removed for convenience’s sake were common, so was it the U.S. forces coming to the U.K. during WWII and seeing — thanks in part to food shortages, rationing and poor nutrition — gap-toothed deficiencies?

it also mentions the importance of cultural imagery- American celebrities have often gone to great lengths to have their teeth straightened and whitened while British ones have not.

Did the Church of England evolve the right way, lads?

Should it have stayed more Catholic like Henry VIII intended, or gone a lot more puritan like Edward and Cranmer's ideal? Was Elizabeth's settlement land on a good mix of values and customs? Or was Mary right all along to keep England Catholic?

What we have is a Church custom-tailored for our nation, which has slowly changed over the centuries.

Should Church and State be separated? Should Anglicanism remain our state religion? Are we a Christian nation? How do you feel about the Monarchy being the head of the church?

How do you feel about the shrinking number of practising Christians in this country? Studies have shown fewer and fewer people attend church. Will there be a spiritual revival in Britain any time soon?

I don't expect you to answer most of these questions, I'm just bringing them out to ponder on. Basically, talk about your views on religion in Britain

We must destroy Scotland to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
