In Her Shoes

The same people who said that Ruth Kelly was unfit to be "Equalities Minister" (neither a Conservative nor a Labour Government should have such a person, though for diametrically opposed reasons) are now saying the same thing about Theresa May.

Mrs May failed to vote for a further extension of the dangerously low age of consent at 16. She failed to vote for a proposal that children whose lives must already have been unduly complicated be deprived of either a maternal or a paternal influence in their subsequent development. She failed to vote in favour of allowing two persons of the same sex to be listed as the parents on a birth certificate. And she failed to vote in favour of another denial of reality, namely the permission to declare oneself a person of the opposite sex, contrary to the chromosomes written into every cell of one's body, and to do this with the support of a blatant act of State lying, namely the issuing of a new birth certificate.

Good for her. As far as this goes, anyway. But how about parliamentarians actively and vociferously opposed to such proposals? Up to and including parliamentarians who would repeal such wickedness and nonsense.
