In the decades to come, when the history of our times is being written, one wonders how this government will come to be seen. It deserves to be known as the Killing Parliament or something similar.
Such an epithet might surprise those MPs who last week voted to allow babies to be killed up to birth and for doctors to assist in the suicides of their patients. One imagines they see themselves as rather nice. They are in a pitiable state of crisis because their moral sense has perhaps become so occluded by ideology that they have lost the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Their consciences are so numb that don’t perceive that they have done wrong. They are aware, however, that they must appear to be “nice”.
