Do you trust the Catholic Church? And 40 reasons not to have children.
| 15:34 UK time, Monday, 16 July 2007
We're OFF AIR now but continue to send your comments.
A warm welcome to Jay in Latvia and Emily in Minnesota who are the latest WHYS listeners to request the Daily Email. I'm sure the regulars will make you feel at home... so long as you agree with them.
There's much excitement here at Bush House because Alan Johnston is coming in to see us all for the first time since he was released. He's due in 30 minutes, so I'm going to try and get this done before then.
Here's today's show....
DO YOU TRUST THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
You may well have seen that the Catholic Church in LA has to victims of child sex abuse by priests. Is the Catholic Church's response enough for you? Is it as fulsome an apology as you would like? And is enough being done to ensure this doesn't happen again?
WHY HAVING KIDS ISN'T EVERYTHING IT'S MADE OUT TO BE
There's a book in France which is selling faster than you can say 'let's have at least three children'. Karnie's blogged about it already....but the nub of our discussion is whether there a pressure in your country to have kids? And whether we all feel a desire and obligation to have children if we can?
As I've just got through a night with my daughter that resembled one of those army training courses where they wake you up every time you get to sleep, I am more than qualified to talk about this. I shall of course however be sat right on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ fence.
NEW ORLEANS
Barring weddings and the occasional work drinks do, the Atkins suit collection (there are, er, two) is only ever disturbed for WHYS trips. So tonight I shall be dusting down my finest threads in preparation for our show from New Orleans on Thursday. If you're thinking, 'why are they going to the States again?,’ (Julie in Nairobi I know you are!) then our editor Mark has written about that on the blog. He also wasn't happy with Friday's show.
Speak to you later. I'm off to see Alan.
