Baseless

The case of the Derby couple told that they may no longer foster children is not about homosexuality. Very little is. Rather, it is about the ruling that Christianity forms no part of the basis of the law.

Read that last sentence over again. Think about it, not least in historical terms: Gin Lane, opium dens, seven-day working weeks, horrific factory conditions, the slave trade. And ponder today's Britain within the wider globalised context. But that was what was ruled yesterday: Christianity forms no part of the basis of the law.

So, without our ever having been asked, we are living in an entirely different country today.
