Our current Government is in danger of sacrificing Liberty in favour of an abused form of equality – not a meaningful equality that enables the excluded to be brought into society, but rather an equality based on dictat and bureaucracy, which overreaches into the realm of personal conscience.
Human rights without the safeguarding of a God-reference tends to set up rights which trump others’ rights when the mood music changes.
