What disgraceful scenes were shown today on our television screens of mob violence, madmen, mayhem and murderous intent over the just acquittal of an innocent Christian woman, Asia Bibi. People have been murdered. Her lawyer has had to flee for his life. Very sensible. Who would want to stay there in Pakistan? Asia Bibi is not currently permitted to leave Pakistan. Crazy! More murders are expected.
If you ever go to Pakistan then be prepared to adjust your watches. Put them back three hundred years! The country is one of the most unenlightened on the planet.
Imran Khan, the former cricketer and Oxford graduate, will have his work cut out if he wishes to bring enlightenment and human rights to his country.

Prime Minister Khan studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford. He was educated in England at a top school. Let's hope he can bring some wisdom to a desperately needy undemocratic country.
If the family were given asylum in the UK would they be safe here?
Salman Rushdie was safely protected in Wales. Malala came here after an assassination attempt by the Taliban. She is studying PPE at Oxford and wants to make Pakistan a more tolerant society, but Malala could end up like Benazir Bhutto (and she was a PPE graduate).
We spoke about the safe place. We thought that New Zealand would be safe. Perhaps the Hebrides, or parts of Finland, where there are strong, protective Christian communities.
