@Setanta,
Darwin spent a lot of time denying he was an atheist. Too much really. He overdid it imo.
But he was certainly no commie. As a magistrate he was an upholder of the various laws of the time including child labour laws from which he derived many benefits, fantastic inequalites of income and mortality rates, Victorian sexual values, capital punishment (including torture) in public, imperialism, use of animals in gruesome scientific experiments and no votes for women.
Quote:After Darwin's death, Emma felt obliged to refuse Cobbe permission to reprint the magistrates' correspondence in her Autobiography.
Here's a 4 minute video for your applause brought to us by The Grauniad, the house mag of the feminists and of bureaucratic expansion.

The first time I viewed it the ad at the start was for Estelle Lauder skin treatment for ladies of a certain age (sex again ci.). The second time was a promotion of Dubai using actors between the ages of about 21 and 30 whose parents are obviously bankers.
What was really funny was Attenborough's blaming our domination over nature on the book of Genesis. Science was absolved from responsibility. His flying around the world with high-tech production units was all the fault of Genesis. Nice study he had too.
What a ******* idiot eh?
Our adult comic VIZ reckons he does it all in a studio in Bristol using tricksy photography.
He looked as if he was trying the shag "the biggest flower in the world".
