A prominent High Court judge, Sir Paul Coleridge, has been reprimanded by the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice, and found guilty of ”˜judicial misconduct’.
It is a serious ruling. Has Sir Paul been consorting with members of the criminal classes? Was he caught driving under the influence? Or perhaps he has delivered a spectacularly wrong-headed judgment?
The answer is that he has done none of these things, or anything at all reprehensible. The Judicial Conduct and Investigations Office, which acts on behalf of the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice, has taken exception to Sir Paul’s views on marriage, of which he is strongly in favour.
And so it begins. Who will write the sequel to Fox’s Book of Martyrs?
There is a significant overlap in the skills required to parent and the skills required to disciple. I don’t think it a coincidence that Satan wants to deprive children of parent models.
My wife and I are planning a few vacations to the UK over the next couple of years, because we feel that the UK is in serious decline and cannot recover. Between the decline of the basic societal values, and the increasing influence of Islam, the UK we in the West have known is doomed. Not sure there is any hope for them, so visit while you can, before Sharia becomes the law of the land.
