RE: Spat at after BBC Question Time for defending the age-old meaning of marriage. Welcome to the new barbarism
Britain was the land of John Hampden, the land of Wilberforce and Shaftesbury, the land of George Müller , William Quarrier, and Thomas Barnardo, a country where human life came to be respected, where freedom was valued; a country where folk like George Wishart were willing to be burned at the stake as part of the struggle for freedom of religious expression. When I was 9 I stood at the spot in St Andrews where Wishart was burned as the Cardinal Archbishop of St Andrews looked on from a window in the castle; you never forget things like that if you have any sense of history or of the nobility of the greatest of men.
When you look at the Britain of 2014 it could make you weep. Surely we are in the times of 2 Timothy 3:1-5?

- " ... when the audience jeered in response to the simple statement of fact that every single child had a biological mother and father, I knew that I was fighting a lost cause.
- While filing out of the studio, someone approached me to tell me I was ‘absolutely disgusting’.
- Another group of people spat at me. I was swiftly identified on Twitter by Dr Evan Harris and gay columnist Benjamin Cohen and the insults flowed.
- My crime? Stating that marriage was a child-centric institution and that children have a right to be brought up by their biological parents, where at all possible.
- Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell is still not satisfied that same sex marriage legislation goes far enough is now calling for a repeal of the marriage law.
- Stonewall are calling for homophobia to be eradicated from ‘churches and homes’."
