I was flicking through 'Britain in Sin', a book[let] thing you can get on the Christian Voice website here, when I found this gem about the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994:
This makes the following quotes from people supporting the booklet pretty scary:
"Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, has made a meaningful attempt to analyse the cause of Britain 's current moral decline. The list of unrighteous laws passed during the last 50 years is particularly helpful; indeed, it would be a miracle if we were not in decline, having passed so much legislation which is directly contrary to Scripture."
Lord Ashbourne
EDIT: From the comments - "I need to update this entry, as it appears Lord Ashbourne is Christian Voice's patron which kind of reduces the meaningfulness of his quote. I thought he was just some random person of standing".
"This makes interesting and disturbing reading. We desperately need to understand, as a nation, that our Creator knows what is best for us, and to return to His way as the best way to live."
Rt Rev Wallace Benn, Bishop of Lewes
Well done for supporting marital rape, you utter cunts.
It introduced an offence of "marital rape", drafted by the Law Commission, unknown in the Law of God, and in conflict with the marriage service of the Book of Common Prayer, where the promises given by a man and woman to each other establish a binding consent to sexual intercourse.Lovely.

Oh yes the Book of Common Prayer, but which version does the guy refer to the Edward VI version, Elizabeth I version or a newer revised one??? If it's the Elizabethan one we should all pay 6d for every sunday service we miss, in todays money about £4.26.
This guy is obviously mad, in his violence against the person graph in the 1940's only about 5,000 people are hurt, whereas due to WWII this figure should be a lot higher. The problems with his argument are too many to detail here. Good entry btw.
Thanks. I need to update this entry actually, as it appears Lord Ashbourne is CV's patron which kind of reduces the meaningfulness of his quote. I thought he was just some random person of standing.
Oh, if you look at the violence against the person graph, you'll notice it says it's recorded crime. Obviously since there are many reasons why levels of recorded crime might increase over time (for example certain crimes being considered more criminal in public opinion, thus more likely to be recorded by the police).
