South Suffolk: wasn't that the last place to burn witches?

Possibly you're right, here. If you're talking about Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

Naw! Hopkins heartland -- Hadleigh, Suffolk! Wasn't there a cult horror movie made about the infamous Witchfinder General: Matthew Hopkins? How long have your family lived there? You might spot an ancestor among the ghouls watching a burning?! Or even an unlucky female forebear going up in smoke!

It's been nearly 20 years since we were last there. Oh my, isn't it looking bourgeois! Result from displacing all those london overspill elsewhere (yet again)! And unless my map-reading's skewy, beneath these new executive homes was a "top-secret" underground nuclear bomb silo, for USAF Lakenheath. Not wishing to distress the neighbourhood, nor the house prices, but if I was one of those executive homeowners (if only) I'd be carefully checking the readings from a Geiger counter. Just to be on the safe side!

Cheers! Edwin

Absolutely agree with you gazzyk1ns. There is a place for political discussion but not here, time for me to give up on this thread I think but thanks anyway for your original post.

If people want to wear their political colours on their sleeves they are free to do so with the bounds of the rules of reasonable discussion, but hijacking of other threads is not the way to get views across.

If discussion of which political/financial system is the best then a different thread is the way to go.
