    What is wrong with this poem is that it is an example of the most pure and refined hypocrisy. Maybe a comparable example wou ...[text shortened]... ection in 1979 to form the most ideologically driven and divisive government in British history.
    Let's not get in to politics here. It seems we have enough to deal
    with already.

    India is quite a big place to come and look for myself. I wonder how wide are the bounds of your promised hospitality? However there are too many strands to your question (and you are too wide open to attack on these points) so let's keep on topic.

    Has the Indian Government failed to investigate and report on the seemingly well founded allegation that Mother Theresa misappropriated immense funds intended for the relief of poverty and ill health, diverting them to "religious" objectives which that Government cannot believe most Indians endorse? If not where is their report?
