		<description>I find it absolutely shameful and extraordinary that the Conservative Party on Wycombe District Council, led by Cllr Lesley Clarke, should oppose and actively block Fairtrade status for Wycombe in the way that they have done.

Cllr Clarke has in the past led one to suspect that she is a Christian (at any rate she is on record as describing atheists as "godless heathens"), so what particular part of Scripture and Bible teaching has she been drawing upon to regard fair dealing and a non-exploitative relationship with Third World producers as being out of kilter with Christian values?   How on earth does she reconcile her faith with the inane and stupid comment she made that Fairtrade is "a whim".     She, and her apologists in the local Conservative Party, ought to have the good grace and courage to come on this website and account for themselves, and answer the points that i have made!</description>
