The campaign to get rid of marriage has not gone away. Civil partnerships for heterosexuals were not thrown out by the Appeal Court last week, only put off till later. They will come.

In fact, after 20 years of New Labour government (some of it nominally Tory) we can now look back and survey the smoking ruins of marriage. It's not that the New Labour radicals and their Tory imitators wrecked marriage on their own. It's just that they have more or less finished it off.

Controversial plans are being drawn up to open Christian and other free schools in the heart of Muslim-dominated communities in areas such as Oldham, Birmingham and Derby.

If you want to change a society, you merely need to get the public to shift an idea from the category of "unthinkable" to "policy." You'll know you've been successful when the formerly unthinkable has become public school policy.

For instance, 50 years ago it would have been unthinkable for an elementary school teacher to contradict the claim that sexual intercourse was reserved for one man and one woman within the bonds of marriage.
